I have a 12 slot I had up for 12 hours, and it used an average of 86mb. The
bandwidth is pretty high in this game but its pretty fun when its all low pingers.
I have a different setup, using a seperate map file.
Make a file and name it:
maprot_list.ltx
Open it with notepad, and put this in
sv_addmap testers_mp_agroprom
sv_addmap testers_mp_pool
sv_addmap testers_mp_lost_village
sv_addmap testers_mp_military_1
sv_addmap testers_mp_atp
Just change the maps to the ones you want.
Now, you will need to put that file in the /data folder, along with the server.ltx
This is what my server.ltx looks like:
sv_anomalies_enabled 1
sv_auto_team_balance 0
sv_auto_team_swap 1
sv_bearercantsprint 1
sv_dmgblockindicator 0
sv_friendly_indicators 0
sv_friendly_names 0
sv_pda_hunt 1
sv_returnplayers 1
sv_shieldedbases 1
sv_spectr_firsteye 1
sv_spectr_freefly 0
sv_spectr_freelook 1
sv_spectr_lookat 1
sv_spectr_teamcamera 1
sv_statistic_collect 1
sv_statistic_save_auto 0
sv_vote_enabled 1
sv_vote_participants 0
sv_anomalies_length 3
sv_artefact_respawn_delta 30
sv_artefact_stay_time 3
sv_artefacts_count 10
sv_client_reconnect_time 60
sv_console_update_rate 1
sv_dedicated_server_update_rate 100
sv_dmgblocktime 0
sv_forcerespawn 0
sv_fraglimit 10
sv_friendlyfire 1.0
sv_hail_to_winner_time 7000
sv_pending_wait_time 10000
sv_reinforcement_time 20
sv_remove_corpse 1
sv_remove_weapon 1
sv_rpoint_freeze_time 0
sv_timelimit 0
sv_vote_quota 0.51
sv_vote_time 1.00
sv_warm_up 0
Heres a sample of my .bat file that calls it:
dedicated\xr_3da.exe -i -nointro -nocache -nosound -silent_error_mode -external -svcfg C:\GameInstalls\STALKER\data\server.ltx -start Server(testers_mp_agroprom/deathmatch/hname=S.T.A.L.K.E.R./maxplayers=12/portsv=5445/portgs=6445/estime=09:00/etimef=0.0/spectrmds=30/public=1) client(localhost/name=Admin/portcl=7445)
The server never crashes, and it is very stable with the -silent_error_mode
variable. Notice I keep it in the GameInstalls folder until they make it able
to be bound to other IPs than the root. I dont know if this helps anyone,
but it is the best solution to run a dedicated stalker server for me.
