08/06/2009 16:47 xellios#1
Do you have a slow computer left somewhere in the crappy garage or w/e?
Then this development is Definitely something for you!

How and what is this :
You can burn this on a cd or boot it from a usb if thats possible on your old pc.

What is this:
It's a boot file for windows, Like if u ever formatted your pc yourself you do know if it boots the setup.exe well this is the same only this boots the serverfiles it will use less services and reduce lagg and unnecessary use of ram and your CPU.

Is this free?
Yes rofl..

For what sources can this be done :
TQ binarys
LOTF
CoEmu v2

Yet ATM.

When will be this done?
IDK Yet i'm still making the boot file, not too long though.

Note :
It will load your network drivers.

K'thx for reading,

The proper way is to make your server a Windows Service when you select a project type in C#. You can configure services like any other to run automatically.

But you still will use way too much ram and CPU so the proper way still is bootable cd :P
1mb wont hurt it but around 30% + CPU Usage will..

You have like 5 projects going on at once. Just stop and finish one.

What do you care if it gets done?
The first project is not getting done for a LONG Time. (Narration)
Second project ( CMS ) Almost done.
Third project is this one ^.^ And wont take long either so my point are:
- You are wrong they are 3 ^^
- my projects , my devs mind your own business

How is booting from a CD going to solve anything? If anything, you have additional overhead because you need to load the CD contents into memory rather than using hard storage. I have no idea what you're actually trying to do.

LOTF and CoEmu use the .net Framework and a lot of components of Windows... Your CD will have all the Framework and it will work properly?

Only the needed things will be loaded :P

Why not just use Windows Server 2008 in "Server Core" mode with PowerShell and minimal services running, but include your own server as a service. Can't get any lighter than that.

It's not that I have "no interest" in this. I'm just giving you a bit of advice.

You are the first person I ever saw that somewhat questioned sparkie and refused to use his advice.. Odd, but a bad decision.
