I have a dedicated server, pretty beefy (New Dual Xeon 2.2, 1GB Rambus) and I am having some issues when running the rcbot. I have the dedicated server set to take in 20 people max on server but when I get to having about 12 to 15 (including 4 bots) people on the server I start to see signs of lag, not in the way of FPS but in movement, it starts to slow without hesitation though. As soon as I boot the bots off the server then everything appears fine it appears to be fine I can not suport up to 20 people. In thinking that maybe I needed some additional frames I installed Adminmod/Metamod with a Adminmod Booster product (for dual processors) and that has alievieated some of the problem depending on how many people were attached at the time. I think what I am needing is finding that happy medium in the configuration of the bot itself. I left the setting at default and that is what I am using. I know that the bot/cpu parameters can be adjusted but not sure what the best setting is for my system without losing the bot performance also. I know most people do not like bots at all, I do get some complaints (eslecially when it lags). I think that bots are good as long as they are not abused and if they are smart. I found that more people are likely to join a server that has at least 4 players on them (I tried 3 and 2, didn't work) and thats what spawned the idea of using bots to attract players. Any ideas? I also had a though of maybe setting the rcbot so that as people come in if I can automatically boot a bot until they are eventually all gone thus saving the performance. How to I do this? It ther a way to set the min bit or max bits that would do this? Please help, any suggestion woudl be much appreciated.
