At the moment its just an idea, feedback here is important as i mentioned it in another post and got very little in the way of positive feedback, if feedback at all.

Basically the situation is that i help a GSP, looking to promote their name in order to increase sales and i approached them with this idea, to create a public server for the OcUK community in order to generate a bit of interest and let people know the GSP exists!

So what I need from you is basically, do you think this is a good idea? Can you see this being popular? Would YOU play on it? Wouldn't mind some feedback on server size, tickrate, map cycle etc too. I would be against mods such as GunGame as i think they're turd but we'll see what you guys think.

In my head at the moment I was thinking 20-24 slot server, 66 tickrate (Dont want to be a resource hog), could maybe get a TS2 server up for ppl messing around. In return to keep the priviledge for free we'd have to keep it pretty busy. Was thinking of having like a 'launch night' in order to make sure we at least have some fun for a night before it empties.

So anyway let me know what your thoughts are and maybe i can get the wheels in motion. The GSP is www.clanteam.info or #clanteam on IRC, do pretty good webspace as well if your interested and cheap BNCs.
 
its basically to do with hitboxes and server reg deadsquirrel. With 100 tick its the most accurate and basically what you see in front of you, is almost 100% accurate so when you shoot their elbow, u'll hit their elbow. As you move further down the scale 66 tickrate is pretty accurate, but a shot you think is hitting on your screen may miss the hitboxes just slightly, then down to 33 it could be out a decent bit, couple of mm.

As for server naming, thats not important, just want to get a decent community going on a server. I can push for 100 tickrate but realistically i want to see a lot of support for it. I'll get the usual maps on as well as any decent custom ones you can suggest.

I wont be going higher than 24 and would probably prefer to keep it lower than that.
 
Get your netgraph up, net_graph 3 i think in console, the last two numbers of the in and out should be what the tickrate is, well around it.
 
Haha i dont mind at all mate. Yes the higher tickrate puts a greater strain on server resources much like anything that increases performance or whatever such as bots or more maps and mods. Though obviously the tickrate puts a greater strain on resources then more maps and mods.
 
After speaking with them, it looks most likely it will be 20slot server, probably 75tickrate, no less than this at least. As you all seem to want i'll stick on a mod or 2 for map selections and wont have anything too crappy on the server. Any maps u want to see on it, say on here, i'll have a look and then decide whether to stick it in the rotation or not.

As for the server name, OcUK community server would be fine, wouldnt it? Too avoid pimpage as said earlier.

Any ideas for when you'd prefer the 'launch night' to be? Was thinking about 7-8pm over the next week or so.

Might also recruit one or two admins from here if ppl are interested, i'll get back to you on that. And if theres problems with a hacker and no admins are present, ppl can always pop on our channel on IRC and we'll quickly boot them off.

Anything else im missing?

Thanks for the great response guys

Answered that in the first page i think mate.
 
I was gonna save the IP till just before 8.30, let everyone in the #clanteam channel get it at 8.25, then put it in here and the steam community thing too at 8.30.

Im messing around with the FTP now so any maps u want, tell me now

* 2 things i'd like to know, would you guys want the betting mod on the server? And the knifemod so u can steal players cash if u knife them?
 
I'll release the IP in our IRC channel at 8.20 and 8.30 on here and in the steam community
 
Nothing too extreme, all the norm maps plus a couple aim maps fire,mill, strike_betafinal, contra, snow, let me know anything u gys want
