ZBomber Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 Could someone make a server for my clan? I'm not good with coding kinda stuff..... I really need help. Thanks in advance.
NerfYoda Posted September 15, 2002 Posted September 15, 2002 What kind of help do you need? No coding experience is required to run a server.
ZBomber Posted September 17, 2002 Author Posted September 17, 2002 uh.. .I don't know about dedicated servers. I thoguth you ahd to do coding and stuff.
NerfYoda Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 You've got to create a server configuration file, but thats not really coding. There's apps out there like JediRunner that can help make your config file. I believe JediRunner will also help run the server itself, but I can't be certain (since I don't use the program. ).
James Brophy Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 LOL!, im in the same situation i want to bring aalways online ctf back to jk2 with a server from me! but im notsure how and how much would it slow my computer?! and could i turn my computer off? well anyways i have a firewall too. Just 1 more thing, if you want to make a sever that stops when you leave how do you make it appear on the join server list? because for me it just makes it a lan game please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sith Maximus Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Ok to make a server you must have the bandwidth and a minium of a 600mhz processor with 256mb ram and a 5400 (7200 rpm) hard drive of about 4gig in size. Or If your home computer is fast enough you can usei t. Make sure to disable the firewall and use a program like Jedirunner to configure the server. You do not need to leave a server on all the time once it is up. You can turn it off and on when you want to. It only takes about 2 minutes to report to the master server and get listed in the master browser and gamespy network. I run my server for about five to six hours a night and then turn it off until the next day. I still manage to be full every night. As far as slowing your system down it all depends on what type of computer that you have. Mine is a custom built AMD system with a 1333 processor ,512ddr, ABIT board ,Raid system in Raid 0 and a high speed cable connection. This runs the server and allows me to play at the same time, all on one machine. If I need to do other things I still can at a very minimal slow down. Give it a try one night and see how your system performs. Make sure that you know your connection upload speed (goto http://www.dslreports.com or a similar site to find out) and set your maxrate accordingly. Good luck but watch out, its addictive to run servers!
ZBomber Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 Well, My computer is really slow..... hmm....

My server runs off a PII 400 (well its a dual PII 400, but the server code don't do no SMP ) just fine. You're just compensating for OS overhead with all that extra horsepower. Run a *NIX server.
ZBomber Posted September 22, 2002 Author Posted September 22, 2002 wow, I'm getting confused... *falls asleep* :zzz:
James Brophy Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 oh no what is this?>...Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com it wont go noooooooo!!!!1 i have mad a plain dedicated server in the jk2 create sever and it wont go online why?! p.s could it be my firewall?!
James Brophy Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 ow somethings happened! masterjk2.ravensoft.com resolved to 204.97.248.90:28060 Hitch warning: 1027 msec frame time what the hell does this mean!
Sith Maximus Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 A hitch warning means you are short of cpu power or a general system shortage. It should be ok but you reallyy want hitch warnings below 600. Also in the Quake 3 Team Arena Engine it will auto detect your dual cpu setup and send all data thru one cpu and leave the other for the os. So a 600mhx computer and a dual p2 with 400 in it are going to run the game about the same. The Quake 3 engine required you to change the cvar to let it know you had a dual cpu setup so it would take one cpu for the game. This is per my local computer store owner. He runs lots of game servers.
