Anyways, I would like to start a server for BB, but my sister (unfortunatly) is going to get our old pc. That´s p4 2ghz, 256mb ram. So I got this older pc; p3 500mhz 128mb ram. Now I get the feeling this is too bad for a BB server aint it? Just need confirmation because it´s christmas soon you know and then I could wish for a router (5Mbit server) Damnit why she gotta have that pc... This mod is the best one I´ve ever played C yall //Crille_swe edit* I have realized that with only 128mb ram... STEAM is going to eat that up all by itself... So hmm do you think the processor is good enough with 128mb more ram? The reason I want to start a server is because yesterday all three european good-ping server were running the carnage map... I mean no one has the full map-cycle, wich is really bad This post has been edited by crillie on November 29, 2005 07:05 pm

Download the dedicated Server Tool with steam and use google or try here: http://www.hlds101.com/hlds101/index.htm If you start a dedic. server with the dedic. server tool it dont need so mutch ressources. I run the "Blutwurst" Server and i also dont run the "full" mapcycle couse some maps are really "shit". -------------------- BB Stuff: http://bbfiles.m00.de/

Ya? sweet, I like the Blutwurst server

Aha thanks didn´t think about only downloading the tool. It would be sweet to have a BrainBread server for about 5 people, I think 12 is way too much for best possible fun, but that´s just me

I´ll get a router and test it out. Thanks for the reply by the way.

If you have enough money you can rent a dedicated server from some hosting company. > Google is your friend.

I have a cable coming from the wall and directly into the pc. So with a router (I don´t have one now) I could assign the server 5Mbit and 5Mbit to my own pc (at least that´s what they say). So the internet is not a problem but the server specs are

I´ve always wanted to have one of my one pc´s as a gameserver and not interested in renting one. If the old P3 is too slow for BB maybe I´ll buy a cheap P4 pc

By the way, how long is Blutwurst going to have a server in BrainBread? Just curious

How stable is the server? Does it ever crash?

BB loves to crash often. little info: You need 5 kb/s upstream for every Player. Check your ram/cpu usage while running a server with the taskmanager (str+alt+enf). -------------------- BB Stuff: http://bbfiles.m00.de/

Ya BB isn´t that stable is it, I had to remove biodome from cycle when testing the server because I get Ed_Alloc on whatever numbers I use in the server.cfg

I tried tonight with 8 players and when it was full they didn´t feel any lag at all, even though in the statistics window it showed the cpu and fps going really crazy...

So it looks like it can take on a hl mod pretty good

I am getting a router (so I can play on the server myself lol

) and also a new harddrive like a Seagate Baracuda IDE, because the old one in my pc is too loud.

Let me know if you run into some commands that help stable a BB server. Thx Edgar

I´m not familiar with amx at all, but it´s pretty much like adminmod isn´t it? By the way do you run Biodome on the server? I can´t run it because of Ed_Alloc error, nomatter what numbers I set them to. All other maps work good though

I have tested the server for maybe 20 hours and it works good, even though sometimes it says the cpu is working at 100% it doesn´t seem to be affecting the players in a bad way.

I hope that in a month when I get the router that BrainBread still is popular

Looks really cool, maybe they should implement the blur-effect into BrainBread . Like in that other mod where you could choose to turn it off or on ("science and industry" or something like that).
