Server Setup Questions

Recommended Posts

I have some questions concerning server setup.  

First question involves Bandwidth management.  What exactly does the variables MinBandwidth/MaxBandwidth do.  Do these values represent the the bandwidth each client gets or what is available to the entire server.  How do I balance the max client variable and the bandwidth variables?  I am configuring a server for both a T3 line and for a cable modem with 256kb/s upload.

Does OFP support auto-download?  I want to put custom maps on the server and I don't want to hassle the players by making them hunt down the maps.

Anyone have a few example mapcycle entry for a coop mission?

for the auto-download maps stuff i can tell you,

that OFP can handle it - this means, when you

playing a map (except maps in user folder - still

under construction / or not exported to MP) the

clients will download those maps automatically

by playing them.

Just be sure you don't have mission w/ custom (i.e. not official) addons because I don't believe those are sent with the mission.

I already read the FAQ, it's unclear. Please give some real world examples.
