Resources usage in dedicated server issue

counter-strike-sourcetechnical-issues

I'm trying to make a Counter Strike:Source server with following properties:

Maximum players: 15
CSSMath plugin
Fully voice enabled

With the above properties, how much resources (Bandwidth, RAM, CPU, etc) are needed? and how can I calculate the resources needed?

Best Answer

It's hard to determine the resources for Bandwidth as you're going to have players joining and dropping at random intervals.

For a single TF2 server running 24 players, expect to need at least a 2.4GHz processor (AMD or newer-generation Intel, old Intels like P4s won't be fast enough), and 1GB of RAM.

--TheMG at SteamPowered Forums (link also contains original source for bandwidth calculation.)

TF2 is relevant because it is essentially the same engine running. I don't know much about the CSSMath plugin, so you're on your own there but from the experience I have with servers and plugins, it shouldn't be too taxing.

How to change the bot skins on the CS:Source Dedicated Server

You need to edit your botprofile.db in your cstrike directory. In it, you will have a section with a form like:

Elite+Rifle Clive
    Skin = 1
    VoicePitch = 95
End

If you change the number in the Skinline, the bot will have a different skin.

I presume the numbers are IDs, so you will need to discover which skin is which number by trial and error as I cannot find a source for the defaults online.

Clearly, one or more of your scripts have memory leaks. Worse, it's highly likely that their mutual interaction is making things worse rather than better (so it's also effectively impossible for us to say "yes, this is the bad one").

First, I would ensure that you have the very latest patch. That has fixed many stability issues: I haven't had memory issues in the unmodded game for months.

If that doesn't fix things, you're going to have to work up from a clean install and test each mod.

If you're already thinking of getting rid of a mod, I wouldn't bother testing it:

[SCRIPT] X3TC Cheat Package - Only until i get back most of the stuff i had in a previous saved game. I started a new game to get the map fixes. I think i was pre 2.5 before. I hope this mod is causing the issue as i don't plan to use it much longer.

Not to be mean but I would also suggest removing any of your own mods. I always start by assuming that new bugs in software were caused by me.
