I am trying to make a good LAN server config for my home LAN so me an my friends can duke it out. This is what I have so far...do I need anything else?


// Server Info
seta g_motd "Make Peace with Your Gods"
seta sv_hostname "Dedicated v1.03 DUEL FEST"
seta Administrator "Ardayus"
seta Email "slyckfish@msn.com"
seta url "davestavern.iwarp.com"
seta Location "USA"

// Server Config

seta g_gametype 3
seta sv_maxclients 10
seta sv_minclients 0
seta g_ghostRespawn 3
seta g_forcerespawn 0
seta g_inactivity 0
seta sv_pure 1
seta sv_floodProtect 1
seta sv_maxRate 10000
seta sv_maxPing 500
seta sv_minPing 0
seta timelimit 20

// Game Settings

seta g_maxForceRank 7
seta g_forcePowerDisable 10209
seta g_weaponDisable 65531
seta g_saberLock 1
seta g_dismember 100

// Maps rotationcycle

set d1 "map duel_training ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map duel_carbon ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map duel_pit ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "map duel_bay ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "map duel_hanger ; set nextmap vstr d6"
set d6 "map duel_temple ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

I believe you should make the server info lines "sets" instead of "seta" - so itll display w/ the server info button...

maxpings are kinda annoying imo, even if you are an lpb it sometimes wont let you in after jk2 has begun retrying a full server...

other than that i cant spot anything :o

Actually - if it's a LAN server I'd leave the max/min ping cvars at zero anyway... I mean - if yer gonna host a LAN game there is no sense in denying access per ping (If anyone on the LAN has 500+ ping I'd say there would be something MAJORLY wrong anyway.)

MaxRate - Pop it to 25000 unless your hub/router can't handle the traffic. Depending on how fast your hub is vs how many players you have can bog it down if it's a 10mbit hub. (Just watch your hub's lights - if a lot of collisions happen take the rate down some.)

Set your duel_fraglimit and fraglimit cvars too - a good value I like to use for duel_fraglimit is 1-2 less than my max players. fraglimit in duels should be set to 1.

Consider even though you are on a LAN setting a rconpassword might be good. Unless you will be sharing a desk with the server you won't wanna get up and fix things in the server console very often. Turning on voting might be good to have a quick way to change gametypes/maps too.

Also there is cool map called sith_ascension you can grab at www.jediknightii.net). ge_force_x is decent too.

Last - if you don't like the duel_jedi and duel_bespin maps that's cool... But if you might of forgotten to put them in the lineup I thought I'd remind you that they were not in your rotation.
