Server Specs

Hi!
I have a question bout Server Specs. I want to make a 128 Slot server for an towerbuild event. how much ram and cpu power do i need? if i want to start the server on my actual boxes i get this error :

********************
ERROR: Hunk_Alloc failed on 2588768
********************

means too few memory or?

thx for the help

For bandwidth requirements: http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=12324

For memory requirements - from the manual:

com_hunkmegs

com_hunkmegs – This option determines how much memory the server will use for players and items. The default value for this is 72, but this value should be overridden by adding it to the command line on dedicated servers. For general use, a com_hunkmegs setting of 32 is sufficient.

Usage, add the following to the Target field of the game’s shortcut:

+set com_hunkmegs

Sample in target field of game shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe� +set dedicated 1 +set com_hunkmegs 32

NOTE: user made or future map releases may require a higher setting. If you receive an ERROR: Hunk_Alloc failed message, then try increasing the com_hunkmegs setting in increments of 2 until the map successfully loads.

Try to increase com_hunkmegs to at least 288 (=4*72), but I don’t know if it will help, since 128 players are not supported.

Maybe you should contact one of the Rockefellaz admins, because they run a 85 player server.

The max of 64 clients is hard coded. Furthermore, this is in q_shared.h, so you can’t up it without access to the engine code. Perhaps ETTV extends this limit…

Maybe sd can compile a 128 player version of ET? I know the maps don’t support it (spawnplaces), but weeh - 128 players! Imagine the mayhem!

hmm is this not possible to make ? ET UberMayHem or sth like that
