Darkplaces on Linux - niceness

[slackhead]

Does anyone know what value the darkplaces dedicated server tries to set for niceness?

Output in server console:

Current nice level is below the soft limit - cannot use niceness

It seems OK but I've only had 3 people on it so far. There's a bit of a bug with ulimits in Slackware so the only way to change the soft limit would be edit a file and then reboot, as far as I know anyway. Still looking into that.

If you need someone to run around the server making noise and blowin shit up,I'm 1 of your guys. but we'll need an IP etc to hop on and cause some ruckus!

It's up at r0t.co.uk:26000 at the moment. Might move it, but it's easier to test there.

I started on nightmare level and left it 3 or 4 maps in.

Incidentally, in case anyone else if looking for this, it was solved by the following:

Add:

ALL /home/david/quake/darkplaces-linux-x86_64-dedicated nice=29
max_rt=-1
max_mlock=-1

to /etc/set_rlimits.conf

and then use

set_rlimits darkplaces-linux-x86_64-dedicated [etc...]

in the startup script.

Why bother setting it to 29?
Not only is it out of range,but is so low as to reduce CPU time to nothing even if it was.

It's a different scale to normal nice or renice command. (I've no idea why set_rtlimits does it that way). 29 is -10.
