Title: LAN servers?
Post by: Foray on January 31, 2013, 03:31:15 AM
I have some extra equipment that I could bring.

Which game servers would you want at FITES 250?

Greetings and welcome. I am the game server administrator for the FITES 250 man lan. As ZX stated, I have several servers which are brought in for the 250 man event. I also have a plethora of servers configured for open play during the event. If there is a specific game which you would like to see hosted at this years event, please drop me a PM. I will attempt to do my best to accommodate all requests. Thanks

I was thinking about hosting a NS2 server but I figured I'd ask if anyone wanted something more specific.

About NS2, the server software is a single threaded nightmare. A 24 player server generally needs a system over clocked to 4.4ghz to remain at a stable tickrate.

"tick rate" is a term only spoken in hush tones around these parts. I feel that the "numbers" game that is thrown around with tick rates are really misunderstood by the masses. In regards to your request, I have a NS2 server downloaded and configured and do not anticipate it being a problem at the event. In regards to tick rate however, you should keep in mind that we're talking about a gaming over LAN instead of WAN.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that the tick rate response, which is drooled upon from an internet game play perspective where pings are above 50, wont have the same effect in a LAN setting with pings being at 5-10. It'd be ideal for stable tick rates at 60 for NS2. However keep in mind that even if server tick rates fluctuate, a client with low ping will resend game data so fast that the network game play performance will be nonexistent.

Hopefully this makes sense. It is late as I type this, so I will review it tomorrow and reword if needed.

Foray, another reason we have to be against more hardware is power consumption.

But speaking of NS2 dedicated servers, I was disappointed there this is no Linux dedicated. Not trying to start a stupid OS war, for me it's just easier to work with Linux servers.

I will be down for some NS2 at the LAN!
