Jased/Fester what are the chances of adding more L4D servers (such as a vs) if we donate some more $$$. I haven't made a contribution myself, but I know that solo, myself and probably the highly efficient german, kab would cough up. That's assuming they make this server browser more intelligent than it is.

even if ya had to change one campaign server for a vs server that would be killer, vs mode makes for some intence games, not to mentiuon it supports 4 more ppl

[-Spooky-]

Indeed. Change L4D Fester´s Other Place in a versus. You can host a campaign local and the achivments count on the steam system. I think, their is no problem.

Maybe i am very very wrong but i thought i heard one of the servers was Vs most been a dream... but As jase said its all down to the juice the box has left...

fester u must be smokin some good herb and just not relized it casue i havent seen any fester based vs server and we all know how much ive played the game as i spam u almost every day to play lol

I did a bit of reading the other day on L4D vs requirements and apparently they aren't too intensive. Most of the CPU time goes into the boss AIs, which since they are player controlled are not a consideration. So if it's a dedicated server then there should be cpu cycles, not sure about the memory requirements though. I do system performance tuning for a living to feel free to ask me about stuff like this.

Must have been toco

Angrr take into consideration that e have 3 tf2 servers yes 3 more info to follow .. and 2 L4D servers so we maybe getting close tou our limits cheers for the offer on profromance tuning but we are good

Hi Angrr, Whatever the public wants and if there is enough juice in the dedi box to run it then its a possibility. Had a great game of vs with a few festers regs on a server that bbloke setup last night .

I was thinking of putting a ded vs up on my other internal machine but I have to do some reading and testing.

More may follow but I've been swamped with lots of things recently. If anyone has a guide to setting up a ded Vs server via command line I'd appreciate it.

[LazyEagle]

Hmmmmm, what are the sys requirements for a server?

[BBloke]

Versus Mode up at bbloke.servegame.org:27015

It's set to No Mercy, Normal 8 players.

Should be good for you US guys. Pings were pretty solid last night.

Machine specs.

Dedicated server
P4 Northwood 3ghz
1gb PC3200 RAM
Internet: 20mbit down approx: 768bits up

Let me know how it runs.
