Just curious if i'm in the right ball park when it comes to this server config, and if theres anything i should adjust.. the server is 32gb ram, amd 4.2 ghz 6 cores, 1gb data port.. idealy for a 32 person server..

There are some suggestion for you.

1. Keep log off. If it's turned on, you will experience lagging.
2. Keep your RCON password strong as possible. Weak RCON password can be hacked easily using brute force attacks.
3. sv_alltalk 1
4. sv_timeout 60
5. sys_ticrate 1200
6. mp_friendlyfire "0" // For public server it's good if friendly fire is disabled
7. mp_freezetime "0"
8. mp_autokick "1" // To kick AFK players.
9. sv_allowupload "0"
sv_allowdownload "0" // For security reason.
10. sv_region "255" // Your server will be listed world wide
11. You will need to add AMXMODX on the server to add additional functionality. e.g Admins, Plugins etc.

Excellent, updated config.. works nicely thanks very much.

If you need any additional information regarding to Server configs I will surely help you. Just PM me

Seems to be holding up, tho i haven't been able to reach 32/32 slots yet.. need users! Working on the MOTD now, and fourms.. hopefully a decent addition to the community.

The help was appreciated, is there a way to friend people if thats ok? so i recall if i need to..?

Create a facebook group of your server. Add your friends on the group. Whatever you want to announce, just post it on the group so everyone will get the notification.

when i try to add a map and restart the server, when the map is in cycle, it wont load and complains about not having valid models..? any idea.

Can you show me the screenshot ?

couldn't post ss, but it says "Cannot continue without model maps/de_cpl_mill.bsp, disconnecting... i have placed the .bsp in /maps and any models that were in the folder that i unzipped...

figured it out, was i had "sv_allowdownload "0" so wouldn't download the map to my client game ;( solved
