How to configure replay size for server?

by Denn » Sat, 24 Mar 2001 00:52:47

I need help! I manage a italian racing online league. I try to configure the
replay size in the core.ini  but my server crash quite immediately i start
the race (in the Glen for example crashes at the finish of the first race
lap).
So which value i have to put in

[Replay]
replayMemoryOverride=0????????            ; Kbytes of replay memory to use

if i want to have a raplay size of 150 mega?

This the chapter in server.txt about the replay size.
...AUTOSAVING REPLAYS

You can edit PLAYER.INI and change the auto_save_replay=0 to =1 in the
[SERVER] section, causing the server to, well, automatically save the replay
(you better have a lot of free disk space!).  Note that by default the
dedicated server will only allocate 512KB for its replay buffer, so if
you've chosen to auto-save replays you will also need to specify a
replayMemoryOverride value in the [REPLAY] section of CORE.INI....

I'm not sure you can use 150MB there might be some upper limit, but try
150000.

[Replay]
replayMemoryOverride=150000               ; 150Kbytes of replay memory
to use

[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 16000              ; For 16MB of replay space.
This works.

Then your hitting a maximum replay size limit.  Allocating 16000 should
work fine, since its only 16MB.  If that succeeds then try something up
to 64000.

Your max replay size will be determined by the amount of memory you have. GPL
needs about 32Mb , the rest can be used for replays. My replay size was 30000
when a had 64Mb, now is 60000 with 128Mb, and could probably go higher.

The average size of a typical N4 replay of a league race is like 50-80 meg.
16 meg wouldn't even give you half the race.

What I mean by Boom is every time I try to set the replay value to something
useful the server crashes. This is on a server with 512 meg of ram and one
with 1 gig of ram.

Unless Papy has dractically redone the replay functions, a 50-80 MB replay
shouldn't be a problem.  I have a GPL server with 256MB ram.  My replay in the
.ini file is set to 128MB, I believe.  I've had replays of 90+MB with no
problems.
