for a server you host at a society like gameservers or other ones
how many ET maps can you have in your FTP et/main folder w/o having server issues ?
i remember i read somewhere than 20 is fine but with more you can have server problems
so what did you think?
i noticed with splatterladder than some servers use 30 maps but prolly cuz they have a dedicated server
thanks you
i think you don’t really need to worry about that, look at tj servers, they have 50+
only thing you have to watch out for is which maps you put on your server, because some of them have a campaign file in the pk3 and that makes your clients have to download a bunch of stuff before they can play.
As far as I know, its unlimited? The only problem I once had was in radiant with too much pk3’s in etmain (now don’t go ‘map in a clean install’ on me! :D)
My ETPro servers are using 97 pk3 files, 95 maps, 11 Lua modules.
My NoQ servers are using 98 pk3 files, 95 maps and I’m going to use 9 Lua modules.
At spike hours there are online like ~65 players and I haven’t noticed any problems related to this amout of files.

did u use a dedicated server or a rented one?
u have 95 maps pk3 in your FTP et/main folder ?
u still run NQ 123 or did u moved for 125 ?
i use an objective.cfg so you think we can play 30 maps in a row without problems?

Not exactly dedicated. There is running various amout of WolfET servers and probably some other game servers too. But physical server is private.
I’m running NoQ 1.2.5.
On game server:
Some pk3 map files are located at primary etmain folder and some are located in secondary etmain (fs_homepath) but they are loaded togather.
On FTP server:
Yes, they are all togather.

I know the maximum for one server is 64 (except ettv)… 
It’s not one server only. It’s group of servers - their amount (up to 20) depends on players needs. In fact, these servers are not mine - I’m main administrator of WolfET servers only.
Theese WolfET server are not accessible using plain /connect command. The game client is required (similiar to GameSpy one) to play in there. Once you have installed game client you can connect to any desired server from its website.
However, the website (www.gamepark.cz) is designed for Czech speeking or Slovak speeking players only).
If you are still interested feel free to ask me. (Google Translator is great help too)
For 2.55 more then 15 maps in etmain is no no. I personally prefer 13 pk3 in etmain. You will hit re download bug with more pk3 in your etmain once a while.
You can use multiple campaign style so one campaign calls another and hence you can have 20 maps in rotation.
For 2.6b it can hold solid up to 25 maps or even up to 30.
I only see a problem is when you run many maps with escortable truck and tanks, if you want use only maps like that not put in your etmain more then 12 maps, but you can add others kind of maps togheter with these 12, i got a server on 2.55 some months ago running 40 slots and no problems at all and now im running a server on 2.56 patch without any problem with more then 40 pk3’s inside, in my server on 2.6b i think i have more then 60 pk3 and no problems.
