AFAIK, it varies from player to player. The engine, again afaik, detects what speed of connection the player is running at and then assigns XX amounts of bandwidth to that player.


That's how I understand it. ^,^

wrong

The server will then send that amount of data per second to the client.

Last day on St0rm server was 50 players and bandwith usage was around 7000 kilobits per sesond (it is 875 KB/s).

But it is variable. It depends on current action in game, in settings on server side and also it depends which connection type is set on client side

56k is 56kb per second, so a minute is 3360kb (approx 3.36 mb).
So half an hour of testing would be approx 100000kb (approx 100mb)
Does this have to be doubled because I'm hosting the server? (The information is sent and received)

Would be a lot easier, cheaper and faster if I can set up a fake WOL on my computer and use a LoopBack connection. In fact I might ask XWIS.

EDIT: No wonder I burst my 2gb cap last month!

you can use directconnect and set your server to LAN... That should work.. Though I think that all remotely smart routers will rout your connection just in your LAN, if windows doesn't do that automatically already.

Please explain that in laymans terms.
What setting do I have to edit?

I'll give it a go...
You set the server to lan mode in the server.ini
then you'll have to make a new shortcut to the game2.exe or game.exe (game2 if you're using renguard). The link should be edited to something like %renegadedir%/game2.exe +connect <lan_ip_of_the_server>:<serverport> +netplayername "<nickname>" +multi

Fo for example:
C:\Games\Renegade\game2.exe +connect 192.168.1.10:4848 +netplayername "EvilWhiteDragon" +multi
If your server runs on 192.168.1.10 and on port 4848...

Doesn't show in lan list. Will try your method.

EDIT: Tried both my local and my real IP address. Won't work.
I think I know why, I need to use my nick, not the servers. But then where does the password go?

Used local IP and My own nick, rather than the server's, and it works! (I'm guessing the password is only needed for WOL)
Thankyou!
