What are the advantages of custom compiled kernals for q2 servers and are there directions somewhere on how to custom compile kernals for q2?

Thanks for getting back to me that is great news! Right now the school only has a 4 meg connection and 150 students But we may be getting a 20 to 100 meg connection in the next year. If we do I will put up a public LMCTF server for sure!

Quake / How many Q2 servers can you put on one physical server?

« on: October 03, 2006, 01:11:53 PM »

Hey I am setting up some Q2 servers (Rocket Arena, LMCTF) and this is the first time I have done so.

My server has

Dual Pentium 3 -  2 processors - 756 mhz each
512 Megs of Ram

Does anyone know if this could handle Rocket Arena 16 player AND LMCTF 16 Player at the same time? Or do I need to put them on seperate servers? These servers will be private and on a LAN.

Thanks!

Quake / Need Help setting up a Q2 Rocket Arena server

« on: October 03, 2006, 12:11:30 PM »

I am trying to set up a private Q2 Rocket Arena server for some kids in a boarding school. I have a SUSE linux server and I have installed Q2 and I can get the regular Deathmatch server up and running fine with no problems. However I installed Rocket Arena and I cant get the RA maps to work. When I run the server with the +exec server.cfg command I get an error:

Can't find maps/ra2map1.bsp

If I leave the +exec server.cfg command out when I run the server the RA2 mod works but I get the regular Q2 maps it starts out with base1.

Am I supposed to create a /maps directory? I could not find any mention of it in the help files I am using.

Here is my server.cfg:

//normal config file
set hostname "Rocket Arena 2"
set timelimit 40
set fraglimit 40

//change this to something harder to guess, up to 8 digits
set admincode 1234

//comment these two lines out if you do not want a public server
//set public 1
//setmaster q2master.planetquake.com

//comment these two lines out if you
//are running on a LAN, or if quake2 crashes after the first frag
//set logfile 2
//set netlog ripper.planetquake.com:21998

map ra2map1

If anyone could please help me figure out what is wrong I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hey I am setting up some Q2 servers (Rocket Arens, LMCTF) and this is the first time I have done so. I was wondering how many physical servers you folks use for your many server. Are there any issues with putting multiple servers up on one physical server?  I have a Dual Pentium 3 -  756 mhz processors with 512 Megs of Ram just wondering how many servers I could stack up on it, 20 players per server, without any degredation. Since you folks have so many servers I was wondering if you have any tips or if there is a thread concerning server administration. Thanks for the great servers!
