New server is up!

My new server is up! I ended up going with clutch kill, because velocity said they would not support hl2dm, even though a month ago they would. :roll: The IP is 67.228.20.147:27015. I'll be running it as a pub primarily so it'll always be open for fraggin! I would be willing to use it for matches, draft nigths, pub nights (if it happens in future), or scrims. If anyone for some reason doesn't have a server to play a CAL match on drop me a line and its all yours.

Very nice!

Where is the server located and is it plugin free?

...and what maps do you plan to run?

and how much cheaper is it that you did not go with a fatpipe server instead?

what they said...
but I am going to check it out, when i get back to my pc that is...

Ok to answer a couple questions, its located in dallas, it is plugin free, and its 66tick. For a boosted 10slot its $25/month which is $3 cheaper than fatpipes non boosted 10slot servers. The map rotation so far is as follows in the order listed:
dm_lockdown
dm_caverns_r1
dm_biohazard_cal
dm_lostarena
aim_arena_reloaded
dm_lostvillage
dm_amplitude_r1
dm_zeta_prefinal
dm_lockdown_r3
dm_powerhouse
dm_overwatch

I haven't finished uploading maps yet so this will change in the future.

Ok n00b question:

whats a boosted server compared to a non-boosted server and why would you need that?

Their standard servers have an fps max of 128, their bossted servers have a max of 512fps. It also says on their website that they run an optimizer on the server to enhance its performance, but I don't know to what extent this works. Heres what Clutchkill says.

"Server Settings:
Standard Game Server: 100 Tickrate/128 Max FPS
Boosted Game Server: 100 Tickrate/512 Max FPS"

"To boost our game servers, we run an optimizer on our servers which increases performance. We not only issue the "-tickrate" command, but also the "+fps_max" command to provide true 100 tickrate experience."

But of course I have my server set to 66tick, not 100. Either way its cheap and it runs very well, so needless to say, I'm pleased!

lol at st00pid. Clutchkill FTW!!

Well it sounds odd to me that they have to "boost" it for better performance.

In any case as long as you are happy with it, thats all that matters.

Its all a marketing scheme lol. I'm cheap, their cheap, match made in heaven if you ask me!
