He surly is, I don't know anything about the mortar either but we will ask.

From NQ, knew I had used it some where; From NoQuarter 1.2.5 - 1.2.7 , Linux and Windows server and client could decide to set this new feature. If we have a multicore CPU, it allows to decide what CPU/CPUs from the available ones will execute the game. This is useful for both reduce the cache-misses caused by the constant switching of cores that the game runs on and improve the system utilization design. Some examples: a dual core user could decide to run the game with one core and exec other background applications with the other one, with the result to have a more fulid gameplay then just run the game on all, busy, available cores you can run a local server with one core and a local client with the another core A server admin can dedicate one core to each ET server he wants to run on his machine, or divide the cores between the game server and other applications Usage: In order to use this feature, you've to set the cvar cpu_affinity. This cvar is a bitmask value and it works just as other bitmask cvars work: each bit represent a core available on the system. The default value is 0 and it means the affinity is set to all available CPUs. Example : Dual core: In a dual core system, we will have CPU0 and CPU1. Then, the bit values are : CPU0 = bit 1 CPU1 = bit 2 If you want to set the game affinity to CPU0 then you've to set: cpu_affinity 1 If you want to set the game affinity to CPU1 then you've to set: cpu_affinity 2 If you want to reset the affinity settings, so make the game to run on both CPUs, then you've to possibilities: cpu_affinity 0 or cpu_affinity 3 It's easy to understand that a value of "3" means the game will run on both CPU0 and CPU1 Example : Quad core: In a dquad core system, we will have CPU0, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3. Then, the bit values are : CPU0 = bit 1 CPU1 = bit 2 CPU2 = bit 4 CPU3 = bit 8 The way to set up the affinity is exactly the same as before, only now you have more CPUs you can use, so you can make different combinations like: CPU0 + CPU2 = cpu_affinity 5 or: CPU1 + CPU2 + CPU3 = cpu_affinity 14 Useful Linux tools There are some useful tools for Linux systems that allow to monitor the CPU usage and process-affinity. For Debian etch you can try the package schedutils. Installing this will allow you tu use the command taskset, that can get or set the CPU affinity of a particular process. To know the PId of a process you can simply use the command top in the Linux console, and then run the command: taskset -p PId to get information about the affinity of the process PId. Taskset also allow you to change the affinity of a process through Linux console, but WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO SET THE AFFINITY OF ET WITH THE NEW CVAR AND NOT THROUGH THE LINUX CONSOLE. The lenny package to enable this features is linux-util. Another useful Debian etch package is sysstat that will produce statistics about the CPU usage. You can print to the console this statistics with the command: mpstat -P ALL That will give you a lot of informations you can use to design you server's affinity settings. Note: Check if setting affinity on Windows Vista & higher really is an improvement. Some users reported fps drops if affinity is set on those OS.

Hey, welcome back StoerFaktor good to hear from your again. I think the NQ 1.2.7 mod did this but got removed for some reason, that was a few years ago, I'll go check out shitstorms site.

Try again now. What operating system are you using?

We do not move players from side to side, we only use !putteam to put a player to spec if they are not playing, we, has members have a responsibility to keep the teams even so everyone enjoys their stay, if that means swapping sides 3 or 4 times a map then that's what we do, myself and mini do it frequently, though it is frustrating it is our responsibility. If players are moved from side to side then they either spectate or leave and eventually the server empty, that is what we don't want, this is a polite reminder before the !putteam is revoked.

Sony has restored its PlayStation online gaming, chat service and music downloads services in Europe and the US following attacks from hackers. The company said the partial restoration of services, first pledged for May 1, would be extended to Asia “soon”. The Tokyo-based maker of PlayStation game consoles suspended the services on April 20 after the attack by hackers led to a breach of data on more than 100m users, the second-biggest online theft of personal information. Sony said it had boosted security for PlayStation Network and its Qriocity service by increasing the number of firewalls between servers and adding software to monitor intrusions and system vulnerabilities. The first phase of restored services will include: • Sign-in for PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, including the resetting • Restoration of online game-play across PS3 and PSP • Playback rental video content, if within rental period, of PlayStation Network • Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity, for current subscribers, on PS3 and PC • Access to 3rd party services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and MLB.tv • ‘Friends’ category on PS3, including Friends List, Chat Functionality, Trophy • PlayStation Home The company has also appointed Fumiaki Sakai to the newly created post of chief information security officer. After the attack: PlayStation Network Update 3.61 is out Online gaming, PlayStation Home and third-party apps back online in most territories PlayStation Store will be back “as soon as possible” Firmware update and password change needed to get back online on PSN SOE games and forums reinstated Sony has restored most of PSN’s services for most areas of the world. You’ll need to download update 3.61 and reset your password and then online gaming and PlayStation Home are back online, with many third-party services also working. The PlayStation Store is still down, however, and we’re still waiting for the full details on the ‘Welcome Back’ pack beyond two free PS3 games. Sony Online Entertainment games and forums are also back up and running, with a password change needed to get it working. In a video address Kazuo Hirai, president of Sony’s computer entertainment division, laid out the changes being made to the PlayStation Network following the hack that lead to 77m PSN accounts being stolen and a further 24m SOE user details. Hirai said Sony had taken “aggressive action” to address the issues. “We have greatly updated our security systems,” he said, laying out four main areas: Advanced security protection Increased levels of encryption Additional firewalls Early warning systems “What this means for you… is greater protection of the information you have entrusted to us,” Hirai added. However it looks like the pain for gamers who have signed up to online services isn’t going to end. Square Enix have confirmed that 25,000 emails and CVs were hacked into in an attack on the official Eidos website and the portal for Action RPG game Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

I shop there as well though I do buy most of my stuff from here just brought this last week though I dont think ET needs it!
