Weedkiller420 Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Looking to build a 12 peaple server. My equiment as of now for a dedicated server is mobo asus a7n8x 2x512 pc2100 xp2000 1 gb 7200rpm hd geforce 2 ultra I have cable with upload of 300k is will this be suffeciant for a 12 man server?
Unnamed Jed1 Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Depends on what kind of pings you are used to. You want people pinging around 50-100 you will need a T-1 line for that many players.
Weedkiller420 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 Well i want a nice 50-100 ping dedicated server. however i could only run it off my cable 300kupload It will only be running duel fighting. No force powers except for me and friend and only saber battles plus that aminfo **** Is 12 peaple more then what 300k upload could do ?
NerfYoda Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Assuming that you're not using up any bandwidth by the regular home use of youre cable modem 300000 / 12 = 25000 or 25 kbit for every user that connects. 25 kbit = 3.125 kB (kilobytes) per person, assuming the server is full. Your client ping times won't be rosy sweet, but it will function.
FK|FallenOne Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Most servers use atleast 7000 cps per client which equals out to 7k. 300k upload like you have equals out to 30K. Divide it by 7 you get 4+. So you could run a 4 person duel server with no problem. 12 people duel servers suck anyways because of the long wait time. Ideal duel servers are 6-8 people max. You might be able to fudge a 6 person server with max cps set to 5000 but there'll be some lag sometime.
