15-18 players without modding any of the weapons and still allowing the good stuff like nades!!! Full Auto weapons like bandwidth!!!!
Battalioncommand SAR IT runs about 760k upload, the server runs SAR with a max of 18 players..... Full auto weapons have been restricted and explosives turned off.....
I own BattalionCommand SAR TF.... It's on a big pipe!!! 9697k upload and down...... I have had it up to 32 players running SAR with no explosives....
We have removed most of the small maps.... like the training map!!!!
It also depends on the night of the week!!! Seems friday night we will have more crashes and players getting dropped....
Whats wild is you can run 14 players smooth as glass..... add only 4 more players and here comes the lag.......
What are you hoping to run???
One other note.... Your bottle neck will be 100% bandwidth...
Your server in fine.... I run a Athon Xp 2000 and 1G memory(over kill on mem!!!) Watch the process and memory monitors... the process takes a spike when it loads the game at the begining...... And the memory.... you could run 256M and be fine!!!! It's all about the pipe!!!! Thats where you have to spend the money!!!

WOW!!! Getting it to do all that from the reboot of a PC would be tough, however you are right they would have to be a GR god!!!
Lets see if we can get your crash relaunch working correctly!!! That would be the quickest thing to fix I think!!!

Try changing the D to a C.... See if that helps.....
Also are you starting your macro with a hot key???
You can also try and contact Spriderman/HoHum here

stumped??? Na!!!! Just have been to busy to stop by!!!
So, your launching your dedicated GR server using the UBI launcher. Correct???
You have downloaded marco express? Right??
Now you want the script to bring your server back when UBI drops it???
I can get you two things!!! The port you need to open in your router...My bad!! Are you behind a router??? There is a port the BC IT server opened for UBI and the server is not getting dropped hardly at all!!! I can get you that port!!!
I have a script I can give you and you just have to plug it in!!! However I'm at work!!! So it will have to wait till I get home!!
Anything else!!!
I don't want to steal anyone's credit, so most of the information I am providing was provided to me!!! Many thanks to those that helped me when I had questions!!!! They know who they are

What I see is battlecommands servers always up and listed with UBI with no problems....how is this? my server stays up but UBI drops the connection every so often...sometimes once a day sometimes 2-3 times in one night.
When I looked at ASE I was baffled as to why I also saw the same battlecommand servers too.....######?
Some how some way there must be a way to have my server listed and if the connection drops then to reconnect or if it crashes then to relaunch into the UBI lobby without my assistance.
They run a macro!!!
They have a macro that clears the UBI fault and relaunches the server, so it appears they never drop!!! But they do!!!
www.macroexpress.com
You can have it do all kinds of things!!! Close fault windows and relaunch your game!!! It works great!!!!
I own TF Battle Field and its listed at battalioncommand.com and it sends SAR stats to there web site... I dont launch mine on ubi because of the bandwidth... My server is on a 100M line (OC3) and I dont want traffic 24/7...
The thing with ASE ( IIRC ) is that when You enter Your Server into the Program's Interface - That Info is then Uploaded to the ASE Databases and whenever Your Server is Online after that It shows the Server as being Online simply by You having the ASE Software on Your System.My server doesn't have ASE on it and I have never done anything to list it, however it shows up.... How do you remove one???

The reason for this is that when the Server starts from a Dead State it always resets to the default.ass File anyway and needs to be changed back no matter whether You're running Server tools or not.
Thats the odd thing, my server never starts with the default.ass. In IGOR open the server script editor and select all files... I have a current.but file and mine always uses this file with a fresh start or a crash. It took me awhile to figure that out because I kept editing the the default.ass and then would launch it and find no change... I have to edit the current.but to make the number of players and all the settings I want come up right....
Should I try and delete the current file and see if it launches using a default? I wonder when the currnet file gets created and why it keeps refering to it...
Thanks,
TF

Just playing with the default script... The only thing I have tried to do is add a to join pw.... Not having much luck....
Anubis- maybe I will track you down on TS Friday night. Its the last night I will be on until next Wed....
We will find a answer!!!

I cant run GR tool on my system for some reason, it goes into a no response stat.... So NO I'm not running tools.
Yes I have allow remote access [X]
two things... There is a current file and a default file... The current gets loaded when I launch the server.... I can edit the default all day long, however the current file is always used at launch. So when I want the server to launch w/pw I edited this file and it works like a champ...
I have opened IGOR and opened the default script (on the server system) and edited it adding a pw and saving it as password.ass Then I tried to upload it and it didn't stay...
Does anyone know weather the load is local or does it load from the remote...
If I remember correctly I tried this and it told me I was running a script and wouldn't allow map selection....
The thing that drives me crazy is when you leave the edit server mode and you get the password: not required................ right after you turned it on and it said password: required
I will keep playing with it and if anyone can find any anything consistant, I would hear what you did!!!!
thanks again,

I have a dedicated GR server and I want to run a server pw only durning certain hours of the day.Turn it on at 8am and remove it at 5pm. I would like the admins to be able to add and remove the password through the edit server function....
The problen I have is I cant get it to stay... I tired adding the pw and saving it as default while in the edit server screen, however it drops the pw when you exit the edit server.
I tried making scripts in IGOR with a pw in it and it appears it looks at the persons computer loading the script, not the server... So I have been unable to make it work the way I want it to....
Is there a trick to apply a pw and having it stay and still allowing admins to go in and out of the edit server and change maps, wiithout having to apply it every time???

After getting an email from hawkeyes2002, I now know that he is using WinXP and that he needs to go into network properties and turn off XP's built in firewall.
That's odd, I'm running XP and have not done anything with the built in fire wall.....I host and test on this system without an issues...
hhhmmmmm.....
One other thing you might want to do hawkeye is a firmware update for the router... Its not hard, just do a little reading at there website and you should be able to get it done....
With the old version everytime I changed a forwarding port I would get a new IP!!! The firmware update fixed it!!!
Axxman, dont know anything about your router, however there is another option for hosting games.... Do you see DMZ anywhere in there???
Using DMZ you can open your whole computer to the internet and I would only turn it off and on for hosting games!!! Be sure to turn it off after your done or get a secondary fire wall like zone alarm...
I would like to hear back if everyone got there's working!!!
Good luck guys!!!

According to the book and Linksys website, the default IP is 192.168.1.1
However if you go into your router settings there is a place where you can change the Device IP address... Do you think maybe yours got changed at some point???
TF

I edited my above post!!! It was advanced, not setup.... Other than that it was all good!!!
TF

OPen your web browser and in the url area type in your routers IP of 192.168.1.1 it will bring up a login for the router. Dont put in a user name and the default pw is admin... Hit enter...
You should now be in the router software!!!! Each computer using the router is assigned an ip.. the first being 192.168.1.100 and then it goes 192.168.1.101 and 1.102 and so forth...
You can click on the status tab and towards the bottom there is a cleint tab... Click on this it will show which computers have what IP...
go into advanced and then forwarding.....
you want to forward ports 2346-2348 for the computer you are hosting GR on.... apply settings.....
Your friends should now be able to connect directly to you if your hosting a game.....
One other note... goto myipaddress.com........have your friends enter that IP... Its you internal IP..
I may be a little off because I'm tring to recall everything from work..... If I missed something I will edit the post after I get home!!!
Lets us know where you get stuck!!!
Good luck!!!

EagleEyes,Jul 14 2003, 08:59 ]What is the point of KB as it stops children who are gud a t GR plyin with ppl, who mayb older, of the same ability which to me is outrageous
Yep, should do his homework about KidBusters before he makes anymore post in the future!!!
KidBusters has nothing to do with age and more than likely was named KidBusters because its the kids that like to run cheats....
KB does not allow you to join servers if you have files that have been altered by cheats... It will boot you from the game if you enable one during game play....
Here ya go EagleEye, just for your reading pleasure!!!
Read the KidBuster english chat threads....

I have a dedicated GR server and ran it with KidBusters and had no issues.... Other than know problems with KB and GR tools goes redline on my server.....So, other than the normals it seemed to do ok together....
I had problems with my GR server tools so I quit using it and started running a macro that would restart the GR server when it crashes. It closes the progam error box and launches the game.
When using the two together I remember launching KB and using the server tab, then launching and starting the server with GR server tools.... If I remember correctly KB would show the server launch in its log...
Then there's the issues with KB not allowing more than 11-14 players through and kicking players for no reason. We did lots of playing with KB and we (||MFR|| clan) really hope the new release will fix some of the problems.
According to -2L- a new version of KB will be released in the next week or so.... I will launch it on my server and see how it goes!!!
Sorry, may have not been a whole lot of help on my part, Ive only been running a dedicated server for about three weeks... The server is colocated and learning how to get things done remotely has keep me very busy!!!
I will post results here after testing the lastest KB, as I am sure everyone else will to....
You can also check our forum if I fail to post things here!!! I get lazy sometimes!!!!

Good luck!!!

Well, if I could get just one of the 3 Ti4200's from Abit to work as well any of the other cards I have tested I would give you some of my benchmark results....
Abit 128M Ti4200 AGP 8x
The cards conitnue to put dots under letters in the debrief sceen and these weird strings on the Huntin Lodge map....
Abit suggested I fill out another RMA for a fourth card!!! I currently have 2 of there cards and I emailed them stating I would send them both back as soon as they refunded my money.... No reponse yet...
Other cards I have ran:
9700 pro (borrowed from neighbor) ran awsome
WinFast A340 128M FX5200 no issues
PNY Geforce4 FX5200 ultra (currently) runs great
I have a close friend running a Ti4200, I will get him to benchmark it and post his results.....

Wow!!! Came back to post some of those very questions and the answers are already here for me!!!
I knew I could edit the IP's in the multiplayer screen by opening the right file, so I was going to come ask which file for the default script...
I have tried the GR server tools.. This is the one from mass-productions? Right?? Well mine keeps going "redline" is what Tom at Mass-Productions called it....It just stops responding for some reason... I like it I wish I could get it to work... I'm also running a macro to relaunch a crashed game...
It's a SAR server that collects stats for the www.Battalioncommand.com web site....
"TF Battle Field" is my server
My server is hosted by www.tek.net!!!! The owner of tek.net as gone way out of his way to help me get it up and running!!! And the best prices I could find for the bandwidth!!!!
I will work on editing the script when I get home from work, however I do have a question..
If I save it as something other than default, it will run my new script before the default??? Or should I rename it default when I move it to the server???
I also read about the map rotation script. Have you played with that script?? The owner of the BC West server said it doesn't always work right... Any tricks here??? Thats my next edit!!!
Thanks for all the answers!!!!

Thanks for the info!!!! What OS are you using this on???
This is what I have....
server=win2k
remote=XPpro
According to there forum(Radmin) there are lots of problems tring to run Radmin with the two OS's I listed.... It suggest turning user switching off and XP remote desktop off...
I played with VNC today and it seems to do what I need, however I read some where it does not allow file tranfer so I need to double check on this.... However I do recall the person that helped me set up my game server was using VNC and I thought he added files through it....
Been working on way to many problems
I think I need to defrag!!!TF

I have a dedicated GR server being hosted at a remote site and I use PcAnywhere to access it, however I have some problems...
I'm unable to enter the "edit server", I assume its because there is now no mouse connected to the pc.... When the server was at my house as a complete system I was able to....Make sense???
The big problem is if I want to change the server pw I have to launch the game and enter the new pw in the options setup and with PcAnywhere I have no control of the mouse cursor for the game... So if I launch the game I am forced to reboot the server to make the game close...
What remote software works best??? I had vnc loaded however it only connected the first time and after that never again... Not real sure why...
Thanks for the help,

Problems Running GR with Voodoo5
in GR (PC) - Tech Support
Posted
Copy that!!!!
First attempt at building a game server was using some left over parts from a few friends..... I gave it everything I had to get a Voodoo 5 card to run!!!!! Trust me, it's not worth the effort!!!!
Get ya a good MMX 440 64Meg GeForce Card, it's inexpensive and runs GR very well... GR is not a graphics monster and really doesn't need a high end card to run well.... However I always buy for the future!!!! I have tried lots of graphics cards and I tend to lean towards the Radeon Pro's, however that new FX5900 looks to be a beast!!!!
