Guest Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Hello, are there any System Requirements for a Server? I want to host a Server on my next LAN! Do you think a P3-500,128MBRam is enough for an 26player Server? Thanks, Florian
orappa Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I'm not sure if a 500MHz machine with 128MB RAM will be able to handle it. It might manage to run it adequately if it's dedicated (i.e. you don't play MTA on the hosting machine), but I very much doubt that it will be able to handle the full 26 players.
Si|ent Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 That should handle it fine, servers take very little cpu but a lot of bandwidth. Weve known servers to run on p-133's
eAi Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Remember the bandwidth limitation is often more of a problem than the hardware limits... eAi
orappa Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Well, I've never hosted a dedicated server before, so upgrading my PC (the server) has always made a difference in terms of client speed.
Guest Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 I'll just try it, and post what i find out Traffic should be no Problem, 100/1000Mbit to the Backbone should be enough Currently im running 2 Servers on a VirtualShared Maschine with one of the best Pings ^^

MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted June 13, 2004 MTA Team Posted June 13, 2004 mta servers take verry litle cpu power but require a lot of bandwith. The reason we use so litle cpu power compared to a HL/Q3/... server is because almost no serverside calculations happen. Almost everything happens clientside.
Black Dragon Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 and thats the reason there are so many cheaters out there..
Guest Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 The Server: 4x Intel Xeon 2,4Ghz, 6GB Ram, 6,4Gbit But its an shared server, i dont know how many people are using the server too and how much resources i'm allowed to have! But i dont have much traffic free, so my server is only online when we want to play.. so i wasn't able to test is with many players on it!
