I would like to get a measurement of interest in creating a Zombie Infection server. There have been several members that have asked me about this and I think it would be a great addition.
The config and rotation usedwould be from an existing server that has been populated for nearly 3 years.
i like zombie just fun to *edited* around on… my fav maps are the maps you can build forts with different objects…
i cant stand when ppl get in oneway tubes wiith noclip on…
Also i’m sure a zombie mod will put alot more load on the server then the current css. i’m sure you have numbers masterp.
also has that server brought in people to the tag servers,and built community, has a group of reguler, start posting and such?
I love the mod. i voted yes. as long as it wont bog anything else down, and brings new ppl to the website.
Zombie was TAG’s 2nd server and has brought in hundreds over the last 3 years. No guarantees that a WCU Zombie would do that well but it’s likely it will.
saweet!!!
what about server load.
what does it take with the settings you are thinking about. Is it likely we will run into problems with other server by adding this one?

I can’t tell what the server load will be until I talk with the owner and get the config. It’ll be probably 3 times heavier at 33tick.
i know of five or six of the regulars including me that play zombie on a regular basis. It is fun and the server we play on is always full and there community is huge i’m sure it will be the same if not better for WCU
im not big on zombie. but as long as it doesnt interfere with the performance of the servers you already have, i dont see why not to add it. the more people in the community, the more recognition wcu gets, and thats good for the club.
buttt if it causes the other servers to have problems, than no.
I play only 1.6 now but I used to use y roommates *edited* accnt and zom was all I ever playd that and gun game…
zombies is great for getting more people but the more people we get …..we can get annoying people in the server too
I think the problem is going to be CPU usage. Once we upgrade Tron it will be fine but IDK otherwise. I guess we could always give it a shot and see how it goes though.

ie. if there are 5 running (considering that CoD4 might be gone) will game play on the other servers still be adequate?
i think i used ie. improperly but whatev lol

Well we don’t really know. When that new TF2 server is full it uses a lot of CPU usage(up to almost 50%) but Source even full only uses like 10% and 1.6 about 8%, meaning we have around 30% to play with that could either go here or to the other TF2 server.
Also we are looking at upgrading tron with 2 dual core chips which would solve the problem completely. And RAM usage is not even an issue, tron has 16GB ram and we don’t ever use more than 2GB of that lol.

well i think if u get the upgrade then def get a zombie server… i mean half of the servers in 1.6 that are still up are zombie mods and if its still going in 1.6 i cant imagine how big it is in CS:S
if there is a zombie server… can we bring back a CZ server

NO
NOBODY played on the CZ server. Ever!
If anything we can add back gungame.

hypothetically, if we upgrade,, we have ~30% free now (other than mapchanges) what will this % bump up to?
if we can add a few servers with only a $400 upgrade,, we should do it ASAP. maybe Keath will reinburs us, maybe not… But as we all know how long it takes to get things done through the school. Just look at how he keeped delayed kuros for nearly a year about the box. and he stayed on him nearly every week. I say by the time school starts back up, by the time we talk to him, buy the time he talks to the ITS ppl, by the time the funds clear with the school… I sespect its going to be 2ed semester if not summer 09′ tilll anyhting gets done. This upgrade is ~15% of our funds. I think its worth upgrading over the summer when we have free time to build and test servers. heck, its worth it just not to deal with the schools BS paperwork.

I always see zombie servers full, but the catch is having 38 slots or so to make it more interesting. Thats why those servers usually keep up. As popular as WCU is as i see it, I think it would be a great idea.
Upgrading Tron to dual cores would be money VERY well spent. It’s unfortunate that tron will not take quad core opterons.
Getting this upgrade shouldn’t take as long as getting the server. The problem with getting the server was the previous owner didn’t want to get off and the server array he was being moved to wasn’t completed until this past spring. When we get the chips in our hands, me and/or Nickname can run over to the datacenter and toss them in the server and be back up within 30 minutes. Doubling the processing power is really something that needs doing if we plan on expanding any further than we are right now.
If we get the upgrade I’d like to see source take off in several directions.
Dice, if we have 30% free now, the upgrade would increase that to 60%.

That 70% usage is over 2 cores, giving us 30% free on EACH CORE!
Now if we add 2 more cores, that gives us 100% free x 2. To average that our, we get .3+.3+1+1=2.6/4=65% free after the upgrade.
Cause if you really think about it, we are at 70% LOAD; doubling the cores will decrease the load by half, giving us 35% load = 65% free.
P.S. I want a zombie server.
i’d say if and when we got the horsepower to swing it, fire it up. just make sure to confirm that addition as well as other adjustments to the game servers at the next meeting
p.s. i’m not voting, only coz i don’t know if i’ll be around to realize any changes from this decision if it happens soon
