Awesome. You might want to measure server FPS at the same time, as the are related, but different metrics and more relevant to the entire issue with hitreg.
Edit: You may have 100% CPU usage in two cases, but 10 server FPS in one, and 100 in another, and the one with 100 will play smoothly.[snapback]52695[/snapback]
It logs the output of the stats command.. which gives you
CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players
23.74 11.47 11.78 1155 84 85.34 5

don't change voice quality 4
One thing i like about LM is its good voice clarity and is a lot nicer than most other servers...[snapback]52690[/snapback]
I didn't say we were chaging it, I said its the only non-default thing in the server.cfg that could change FPS/CPU usage
On a related note, I created a simple perl script that querys the server every minute to server CPU usage/FPS.
I'll eventaully set it up so that it reports the average CPU usage per player amount.

QuoteQuoteHow is this going to fix NS? I don't see anything about serverside performance!^^[snapback]52623[/snapback]
Touche indeed
*Tak glances at tanke momentarily
*Tak ponders asking on NSF
NS has always been not so hot on the serverside optimization, but still it would be nice to know whats going on, LB makes a good point
I find it strange that most other server operators have said differently after 3.0.5, and even provided us with specific numbers. Best case so far has been Surftown, which had an average of 250% FPS increase for 24 players ... I don't really see the touché in LBs statement unless I get some numbers.
I'd love to get a hand on any performance statistics you got for LM, as well as the server configuration, list of mods etc., to see where the problem is.[snapback]52674[/snapback]

Comparing the default server.cfg to LM's server.cfg.. the only thing I see that could effect FPS is
sv_voicecodec voice_speex
sv_voicequality 4
So I'm not sure whats causing it, unless its speex
Past the general hlds stuff you have to wait for LB :p

Yea, I didn't explain the story:
This guy discovered my signature on another forum, and decided he wanted to use it.
So he linked directly to it. I was playing around with cpanel, found the raw logs from the server, and saw requests for the signature from different forums, ones that I had never registered on.
I went to the links the logs gave me, and found someone using my signature there. I got pissed, and edited the signature script so that if you were coming from one of the sites he was using it on, you got a goatse picture with text telling everyone what had happened.
One forum just removed the image. The other nuked his entire signature.

Personally, I'm excited to get back to my computer and install this sweet new 64mb ram I just got!
Just think, after this upgrade, I'll meet the minimum requirements for windows XP!! :ph34r:[snapback]51402[/snapback]
Newegg has 128mb ram strips for $7. :p
I wish I had another $600 to get new graphics cards though

Bunch of sci-fi here.. these are all good books
Back slash - William h Lovejoy
Secret Realms - Tom Cool
Ender's game - Orson Scott Card (This is a awesome book)
Dreaming Metal - Melissa Scott
Exegesis - Astro Teller
Also a good book, The Art of Deception - Kevin Mitnick
I have to go out to my car later and get the rest of the books that are in there
Also, any book by Issac Asimov, is well worth reading.. (I didn't like the foundation series though), I managed to find a digital copy of every sci-fi book he wrote

I <3 my jobs. Sure they are minumum wage, but where else do you get to sit on your ass all day and read books (and get paid for it)!

Different outlet, OR go get a cheap UPS. You aren't after the runtime during a power outage so much as you are looking for something to clean up the input voltage. I'm thinking that the EM noise on the line isn't good for any of your computer parts plugged into it.
I found one on newegg for $30, but because its heavy, shipping is $20. Any local computer store should have it... just get the cheapest one from a good manufactuer.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16842115001 is the one I found on newegg.
