etded vs ettv

Bani

Did you optimize things in the ettv.x86 binary ? I would like to know if it was better to use ettv.x86 or the normal etded.x86 ?
I saw in the forum you improve the cpu management in ettv.x86, is that right ?

Thx in advance.

yes, the optimizations should work for normal gameservers as well. it would be nice if it got tested.

I thought running a gameserver with ettv.x86 just in turn called etded.x86, like a wrapper?

( I've always started my servers with ettv.86 - just in case I need ettv sometime )

Or does ettv.86 actually completely replace the functionality of etded.x86?

ettv.x86 is etded.x86++

Ok bani, I'll test for you. All my servers are running ettv.x86 and it seems to work fine. The CPU consomption does not seems to be greatly improved but I need to look further.

After having some testruns with this I can say that average CPU consumption went down from 25% to 18% on a full 24 slot server PIV 2.4 GHz. That's an ETPub server by the way

. So that answers the question that ettv.x86 accepts other mods as well.
