Redirect Question

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament (More info?)

I know I should not respond to my own post but I am not sure about
something else.

Should I send all of the files for UT to the redirect? What I have done
is a fresh install of UT on a new computer. Updated the machine to 436,
and I installed all four bonus packs. I then compressed all of the CTF
maps, textures, sounds, and music from the install. Am I sending too
much stuff to the server? Should I limit what I am sending to just the
new maps & mods and the associated files to the redirect?

Thanks again,

gorilla

Just the .u.

Then make sure you pick all the .u* files.

Just the ones you expect your clients not to have.

If the server can handle it, why not? Clients will only download what
they don't have already.

On a separate note, in a LAN environment, would there be any problem
with running the redirect off of the same server as UT?

I am wanting to use a spare AMD 950 to run UT & UT 2K4 and Apache for
the redirects. The LAN has a 3Com 100 meg switch and it will only have
@ 8-12 people playing either game at the same time.

Thanks Again,

gorilla

Nope.

Should be fine.

If you *do* get a problem with performance (you don't mention ram) then
you could try thttpd instead of apache - it's a http server with an
incredibly small footprint. Ideal for non-fancy applications like this.

Thanks for all of the advise & help with the redirect. It is now up and
running and it makes an incredible difference to the game play, actually
joining of the server.

Thanks again,
