Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

Okay, since I am tired of people making topics asking what rates they should use instead of searching for their own answers, I am making 1 topic for all rate help topics. So, if you need help figuring out what rates you should have, post here but read through the thread first as there will most likely be useful links posted by others.

Any threads that are made asking about rates will be trashed or merged into this one (depends on my mood when I see it).


If helpful links/posts are made, I will link to them in this thread so others can hopefully see it without re-asking it

I want to know what rates should i set .. :)

Here's My Internet Speed

Put your speed into the calculator... Thats why the link is their.

How i can test my internet speed if my server is linux? :)

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

What? Linux has nothing to do with you bandwidth speed.

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

I believe he's having hard time to go to the website via linux.
On windows you can just type www.speedtest.net in a web browser and see results.
But also I dont have any idea to how to that on linux (ubuntu 7), so I'd pretty happy if someone would told me how to do it.

I've set up rates depending on our PC and approx. bandwith that ISP promised, but I do experience slight lags in-game (and it's not PC problem, it's damn powerful to hold holy crapload of servers)

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

Linux has a internet browser as well.... Unless you don't have any GUI stuff and it is only CLI.

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

Why would anyone with only the CLI at his/her disposal be unsure about the available bandwidth? If you're running a server on a machine at home with the CLI only, you probably have another, GUI-enabled computer on which you can do all kinds of silly tests. If your server is located in a datacenter, you hopefully know what you're paying for.

Anyway, if you only have the CLI, you can use wget, ftp or mc and many many more programs.

Hi,

The calculate is not working !! :(
I need help for my server.cfg in cz

dedicated server with teamspeak
AMD Athlon XP 2700
2.16 Ghz
1.00 Go Ram

Download : 18.48 Mb/s
Upload : 0.85 Mbps

Thank you for your help for my rate and all configuration for server.cfg

Thank you

rates
 

i try http://www.reece-eu.net/drekrates.php
but they didnt fix their cores so im asking if someone can give me right rates for my server here is my box performance:
8 GB Ram
32 slots
100 MBPS
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2376 2.5Ghz

Re: rates
 

The amount of cores is not important as HLDS only uses 1 at any given time anyways.

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 371094
sv_minupdaterate 4
sv_maxupdaterate 1237
thats what i got so u think its correct?

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

All these rates calculators gives crappy values for modern internet connections. For example, sv_maxrate over 20000 is useless, because hlds limits it to 20000.

For first time, try these:
sv_maxupdaterate depends on kind of your server. 60 Should be enough for meatservers running Gungame or ZP mod. If you want to get better performance, set it to 101.

It was the first step.

The second step is to adjust rates to your server's bandwidth. You should play on server with active netgraph (net_graph 3) and monitor choke value - it should not get higher than 5-10. If you have a lot of choke, you should increase sv_minrate. Also, don't forget that you will get effect of server-side rates changing only after reconnect.

Commands are the rates to maintain a server of 32 slots with a low and stable ping?

The perfect rates
 

From Speedtest.net, this is my result:
Download 8.64Mb/s
Upload 0.72Mb/s

Can someone help me determine the best possible rates for me? I run a 16 man server.

Also, help me determine the best possible fps_max & sys_ticrate. I run Pentium D 3.00GHz and have 4.00GB of RAM.

Re: The perfect rates
 

Well from the Sticky Post, I got the link for rate Calculation HERE. Accroding to the Config Given by You I used:

Up Speed: 735 kbps/sec
CPU Speed: 3000 Mhz Core: 1 (Not Necessary)
Ram: 4096 MB
Players:16

What I got was:

sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 5453
sv_minupdaterate 4
sv_maxupdaterate 18

I would advice you to use sys_ticrate 100 and fps_max 101 (1 higher to sys_ticrate).:wink:

Well You can look yourselves too or wait for other good replies.

Re: The perfect rates
 

Thanks for the help, but can you please tell me the reason to use sys_ticrate 100 and fps_max 101 and not higher? Will setting it higher gives performance boost?

Re: The perfect rates
 

Not make any sense...
Why use sys_ticrate 100 if sv_maxupdaterate 18 ??

It should be minupdaterate 30 and maxupdaterate 60 or higher ?

And what important is upload... 735 kbps/sec is very minimal.
Can't host 16 players server perfectly. Now it show maxrate 5000 (if enough and players not lag then ok)
You maybe have to decrease amount of player slots to get this rate higher... (or get better broadband/upload)

With max. 10 players server you can give maxrate 9000

and sv_minupdaterate should be also 30

Re: The perfect rates
 

Well I use Windows from my point of view It is not going to give you any major change in the performance. As far as we talk of linux u can certainly get it setting sys_ticrate 1000 and fps_max 1001.

Well about the question of Why I use sys_ticrate 100 cause:

• It is far practically more stable on Windows. Using more than required is n0thing but a nonsense.:nono:
• I have asked:oops: other renowned member of the forums I found that most of them use sys_ticrate 100 only.
• Anything Surely missing. I'll get to that when remember. :mrgreen:

Re: The perfect rates
 

Well I've used the famous Sticky post of this Forum!:mrgreen:

Blame it! Not me! I've not calculated those formulas.

Re: The perfect rates
 

unstable rates indeed...

Re: The perfect rates
 

In conclusion, the perfect rates for my server are?

Re: The perfect rates
 

You can't get perfect rates your 16 player server with small upload... my opinion

If you try 16 player server... (what is impossible with that broadband)
sys_tickrate sys_ticrate 100
sv_minupdaterate 33
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minrate 3000
sv_maxrate 5400

One problem is can't host whole upload 735kbps... server need sent also different information/packets, so I added to this 5%.
Now it's 698kbps to players.
Could appear choke and lag

If want better rates have to drop player slots.
example
... host 4 player server you can set
sv_maxupdaterate 20000

Re: The perfect rates
 

I actually checked, and you might be able to have 8-10 players. (With somewhat stable rates)

Re: The perfect rates
 

lol, I have never used that k in sys_tickrate. I use sys_ticrate.

Please tell me If I'm Wrong!:oops:

Re: The perfect rates
 

UR right its sys_ticrate

I am testing mmtimer version 1.6 http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=122374

I have a 128 fps server with veeservers and i want upgrade to 1000 FPS with mmtimer.
What mm_insane do you reccomend 0, 1 or 2, with 1 and 2 cpu: 50-80, with 0: low cpu

also, I would like you to tell me a good configuration for my server hosted.
sv_maxrate
sv_minrate

Thanks ^^ :wink:

Vee server will ban your account and shut down your server if you put it on, why dont you just Order from www.intservers.net

Jeon Ji Hyun! Is the inservers.net his/her hosting company?

Re: Help! Server configuration mm_insane, rates, etc
 

mmtimer has cvars also? I did not know :(

Re: Need help determining your rates? Look Here
 

best solution is set it to 0 this works 100percent, i have done this and test this many times in all connectons

Too much greed brings ruin. Also if you want to use mmtimer then use the following settings If you have good internet connection:
