Auto kick and more then 1 server

[Genbash]

Is there anyway to get autokick to scan more then 1 server.I tried installing a second autokick but it says there is a port conflict.Any suggestions

You have to trick AK by doing the following

Start up autokick,
after one scan,
click stop,
click options
click settings,
Where it states Local Port Base and change the port settings
Example if is say's 1245, change it to 1250
Click okay,
Click on Start ... than "click stop again"
Minimize the program then,

Start another incidence of Autokick
"I change the Local Port Base number on this one also" But don't think you have to.
Enter the server IP, then click start, Maximize the first incidence, and click start on that one.

I have had up to 5 incidences going at one time.
This does work .. but it could take you a few trys to get the hang of it.

NOTE: Autokick will only record the log file on one server only. I believe the log file will record the logs of the first incidence, but in all cases .. check for yourself, to make sure your recording the server you'd like information from the most.

Hey that's good info for those of us running more than one server. By the way, one question you may or may not know the answer to. Our two servers run off the same machine. Do you know what the impact is to the machine to have multiple instances of autokick hitting the server at diffrent and sometime the same time?

If it is a good mechine with a good high speed processer then it should not impakt the mechine to much. The one thing that I recomend is that you set the ip to the computers ip and not the out side one, so insted of 64.55.44.11 it would be something like 192.168.1.100 so that it does not use any bandwidth by going out of the internat connection then coming back in. This will also incress the reaction of autokick. I am working on a guild to AUTO KICK on COD. I hope to have it posted soon, I will be working on when I get home and update my sites. Version one should be posted sometime this week.

I’m not sure I understand your question fully …
It appears to me what your saying is your wanting to run AK on the same machine as your game server. I wouldn’t, but CrowKing might advise otherwise, so I’ll leave him to chim in if he feels his program is capable of doing that without interfering with the CPU or games performance.

You can run AK on your gaming computer, however my experience has been while playing MOHAA, I had dropped packets, which increase with every incidence of AK I ran. Now, I run AK on a laptop computer separate from my game computer. I have not noticed any performance or line quality issues while running multiple instances of AK on a separate computer, playing COD.

I should have been more specific on the fact that i due run the autokick on the server machine too.So far it hasnt impacted the server performance.

No problem Genbash .. thing is, I was actually answering Mamma's question, and I should have directed my last post to him. In any event, when you get multiple incidences of AK running on your Game server, would be nice if you found this thread again and posted your experience for Mamma.

Ref; Does running multiple incidences of AK affect server performance?

IcIrIs, stated that it should not impact the performance of the server, but he doesn't say he's running multiple incidences of AK on the same server. I'm left to assume he's running one incidence. If this is true, I than it appears based from his experiance, that one incidence does not impact the servers performance to a noticeable degree. Running multiple incidences would however, based on my experience does, and therefore "I" wouldn't do it.

It is my understanding that although brief .. AK does utilize 100% cpu during a scan. It was my experience with MOHaa that when AK did a scan, I would lag for about 1.5 seconds, every 15 seconds. Running two incidences ... my game would lag 1.5 seconds every 7.5 seconds ... give or take (unless I synced both AK's), by clicking on start, one after the other in quick succession. COD is another ball of wax though .. so one may not notice this lag at all (??).

I have AK running on two puters at my home for two CoD servers on the same box at our co-locate. AK uses 100% cpu every 20 seconds or so. I haven't tried using two incidences of AK on the same machine yet.

Wow..that's a lot of CPU usage. I will have to check mine tonight and see if it does the same. Since i run it while I'm also paying CoD, Trillian, a couple browsers, Firewall, ASE, HLC RCON and probably a few other things I would think I would notice an impact but it's been running since the day it was offered for CoD almost with no problems.
