hoi, belgian bandwidths went up

Haai everyone. I have the great news that our bandwidth limits went up. I can setup a server at home now.
It can't be a great one since I have not much upload, but for example trickjumping?

hey nice, im no tj'er but sounds good for those who does here...would be great

Hate trickjump<i suck at it> but sounds neat for those that like it!!

YEAAAHH A TJ SEERVERRR D:

uhm
maybe a normal server first
sounds better to me

but TJ is cuwl

slow upload could be a problem, I think the bandwidth consumption is about 64-128 Kbits/second per player. So 20 player server should have at least 2Mbits upload, preferably more .... .... btw what bandwidth do you have now?

then make a server with less players

It's easy with et - maxrate 25000 means max bandwidth used per player will be 25kB/s.

I think on old servers maxrate was 42000 with 30 - 40 players. Well, maybe the rate rises somwhat quadratically, since more players = more bullets, moving objects, etc... in game needed to be sent to each player.

At "the worst" estimate you'll need 42Kbyte * 40 players = ~13 Mbit needed.

but in reality that is maximum, often game eats less, I measured it once on some 12 or 16 player server and the bandwidth used by me was about 9-10 Kbyte/sec or so.

Still, the more bandwidth available, the better - you need some also for the in-game downloads, though they can be redirected to external ftp/http site, but then you need to keep the files in sync
