    Yay Roob's is back, shame you've made it 20-player though, 10v10 ns sends to be rather one-sided to the marines and very stressful on the commander <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, with 8 of the slots being reserved it'll probably generally stay at around 7-8 per team most of the time.

    It's to accomodate the contributors with reserved slots whilst allowing a decent ammount of public slots and no slot-kicking. So it's 12 public as before but with 8 reserved rather than 4. These figures are going to be adjusted over time until we think we have the best balance.

Have never played on this server but since all the other players are so enthusiastic about it, I will definitely go in and have a go at it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Will see you guys there some time.

    The old server is also back up, and is called
    Roob's Old-Bubtastic NS 1.05 (CDReq)

    When he said angrymonkey stayed up through the night, he REALLY meant that too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And imagine how much better it will be when it starts running the new super-improved NS 2.0 server code and maps, which means he could probably run multiple servers on the same box and still have low lag...

    First: Congratulations Roob on getting it all running <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> When I get back I might even stray from my standard server and try yours out.

    Second: Will server usage reduction be dramatic enough to allow 2 servers on one box?

    Firstly, as an old git who's been hassling people to get this server up i just wanted to say I hope everyone enjoys playing on it, and hope to see ya all playing on there soon!

    As to 2 servers. Sorry if this is a punishable offence in these forums, but if we put another server up its gonna be a small cs server so that those of us chipping in can have a cs home too!

    The other option will be that the second server will be variable depending on the mood of the 4 über admins ;-)

    edit - perhaps i'm just an old git - but no one told me this was a dual processor 2.4ghz pent iv for gods sake... thats an uber machine, i mean we've got 18 player on there and its running at ~33% overall processor usage. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    DMS makes a good point. one of the goals of the NS 2.0 server release as to make it lightweight enough that a site could run an NS server as well as a CS server on the same processor. Meaning that most ops would not have to choose, and could now give us more servers. This goal has been realised with 2.0. If anything, on high end servers you could probably run several CS servers plus NS actually...

    Heh, you'll be amazed.
    Last night when we tested the new optimizations with 24 people Flayra had a CPU usage of 18% <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    well as i'm bored at work i've been checking up on our new server every now and again - at the start of levels (with people in the ready room) we're at 2% usage, and early on in the game its pretty low peaking at around 33% ;-) and 50% memory usage (of 512meg obviously other proceses taking up memory space).

    the server is new and exciting atm, and i see that currently we have 0 people on the old one ;-) so hopefully its exciting to play on to (i can't play from work ;(

    For all you curious beings wondering why we like this server so much, come have a look!

    But don't judge the server or the people on it (especially me *cough*) on one game/experience
    Hang around, follow rules, have fun, and you'll grow to like it.

    Teamwork is the key, and is a prerequisite.

    Our Server "cult gamming.co.uk|Commchair.com-The last Outpost|4 u servers" is over in the UK but I still am able to play on it with a ping in the upper 130s.
    So I am sure that I wont have any problems with roobs server.

    Stop trying to upset them, no it's a fresh install on new hardware. I am 99.9% certain on that. The IP was dead for over a week before the server finally came online, so if it was used by your test server then tough, it ours now <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This server truly has the best of 1.04 (or rather 1.05 , in fact) and the NS community. Games are always thrilling and fun , you don't have JP HMG rushes like in most pubs but instead impressive team tactics (including a gorge rush... just witnessed it on Eclipse , the term "gorge gang" doesn't make justice to this phenomenon , it's rather a gorge army crushing everything in its path with healspray and OC spamming , they hunted us around the map and we couldn't finish relocating somewhere they were already coming back...)
