First- Rar the debug
Second-Gotta have mysql and such
Third- he must change the Config to his ip
Fourth-The registration must be set to his ip

FINALLY make sure u do not WHAT SO EVER send the whole source

will sending him the mysql mean a server wipe?

or how do i save the current info to a mysql doc?

if you have phpMyAdmin, you can go to the database; then at the top, with the links, you click export. And then save it as .zip or whatever is available.

4GB of RAM?

Hell, I've run private servers on a 256MB machine (600Mhz processor too, FTW)...and the system never lagged...even when about 117 people were online once.

It really comes down to what server source your using, is it TQ binary ?? ( *** i hope not lol ) or is it lotf or other ??

Binary is a resource hog from hell it uses up about 800mb- 1gig of ram without even anyone connected to it yet and if you only have 512 ram it will run it but will use up all your memory and crash after a while or other problems will accur because of insufficent memory.

If your using lotf or some one elses source it most likely will run fine on 512mb of ram and a slow cpu until ya get alot of users on it but that won't matter because lotf crashes before it gets a heavy load of peeps on it anyway lol.

What really matters is there upstream of bandwidth if it is not enough upstream your players will start to lag like crazy.

yep you can run lotf off basic cable and get away with it lol not a big deal he just needs to get off himachi and open ports on router or w/e so he can run server without himachi then he can ip ban people.
