I am currently paying every month for a server that can host probably a 16-20 man server. I used to have CS:GO running on it but now I don't. Any suggestions for imp games to run?

OK so I guess I have an 18 man UT2K4 server running onslaught with the current maps:

TORLAN, ARCTICSTRONGHOLD, CROSSFIRE, DRIA, SEVERANCE

Let me know if I should make changes to the rules or whatever or how it's running performance wise, I have a job again now so I'm debating upgrading it if it can't handle an actual amount of people.

SERVER IP: 162.208.48.226


Edit: I can set it up with the specialists too and we can maybe swap nights or weeks between games or something if there is interest. I would be down to have it rotate games periodically regardless.

Ok I am adding the ability to vote on game modes, just CTF and DM for now. It seems to sometimes freak out on me about webadmin so I might have to restart the server. It might be a little rough for a day or two until I get it all set up guys, it's been a while since I've done anything but lans for ut2k4 :sweatdrop:

I actually got my server because I wanted to set up a Ship server, but the linux stuff is all hosed and at that point I decided to just through GO up on there for a while. I would love to figure out how to set up the Ship properly, but it involves like editing registry files and poo poo, and the info to update is apparently no longer current or something :/


I would be down to Ship it up some night anyway though.

Is the UT2004 server still up, surc? Would like to play some later.

Sorry, I was at work. Should be up 24/7 until people demand a different game. (If it's not up drop me a pm or through the steam group or something) It's a dedicated server I got to do The Ship/Patch a clan's server hole then the ship didn't work and the clan got their server fixed so now I don't do a lot with it.

E: oh lol you guys used it. I don't even recognize my own IP.

Yeah. Dolphin/Project64 netplay.

This requires you to have one of the players as the server I assume?

E2: Oh wait looks like maybe I could maybe host it and have the connection from the server be a spectator, I will probably try that at some point.

Sorry guys, I had to go to dinner and clearly nobody wanted to play ut without me there. :(

Also whoever was saying put map packs up there should post telling me which map packs.


I also like the way of creating events in the steam group to announce game happenings, definitely got me in when I would not have even been aware otherwise.

Why are you choosing to play games in a way that you yourself believe aren't the best. Like start out with the good CTF maps instead of the bad ones and coming back to the thread and saying "Well we didn't do the good ones." Or like FFA in QW... Just find a TDM server.

yeah this is a good point, we were just mapvoting, throw up a good one and tell people to change their votes. Unless it wasn't on the server in which case tell me some map names to get already.

I'll get some more maps up before the weekend. If people have opinions let me know, otherwise I'll probably go with that link the second person posted, or maybe even do some research on my own if I am feeling it some evening. Also let me know if ut2k4 gets old.

Also I did not realize anybody else played HD dJablonski 3

E: Jesus Christ, loving you samsung. HC Diablo 3.

ok game modes added I might have to restart the server for it to take effect I'm not sure. People in there so I might restart or not if needed depending on if they care.

E: You can also add the server to your favorites if you don't want to have to keep typing it over and over in the console. :shobon:

Ok, I'm actually looking into how to admin a ut2k4 server well now, and so things might break while I'm fixing it up. If they do please let me know, especially if the server goes down!

Sorry guys, I broke the server :( and then was at a baseball game all last night. I'll start in on it now, but might not finish it before I have to go to work, might not be up until tonight in PST.

I'm probably going to throw something besides UT up on my server this weekend I think, since we don't really need two sets of the same game. I was thinking maybe some Q3 or some CS:S, but I'm open to suggestions. If anybody knows how to get The Ship server actually running on linux I would do that in a heartbeat.

Surc, we need a quake3 server, stat.

ok I will try and get it set up tonight, but I pretty much spent 42 of the last 48 hours fixing engineers gently caress-ups last minute for customer updates at work, so it might be a saturday-morning thing if it's too much of a pain to install Q3 remotely tonight.


E: Oh I found a guide that actually tells me what files I need to put on the server instead of assuming I remember things from like 15 years ago, I will probably get Q3 running tonight.



Also gently caress the haters, not all multiplayer games have to be purely competitive in nature, CS:S is a nice mix of being able to have some competition while also getting some nice internet social activity in and I thought it would be good for imp zoners to get some practice actually speaking to other human beings.

I'm gonna start off with no Mods because I can't remember if there are any good Q3 mods, it's been a while. As always, suggestions are welcome and as long as they aren't super retarded will probably be implemented.

i slapped a q3a server up on the same ip

i put that mod on there but gently caress if i remember poo poo about quake server exec scripts, that poo poo has even worse documentation than ut does now

voting is enabled, so that should work

:hfive: You da man, I started the files copying and then I woke up and it was 3am and I was slumped in my chair. I am glad this has not prevented quake.


E: The mod thing is just a flag, I don't know how you're starting the server, but if it's a shell script or just command line you add +set fs_game cpma in with the other arguments, and if it's just an .exe on windows you create a short cut of q3 for starting with CPMA, right-click and add +set fs_game cpma to the end of the target.

E2: Apparently for the windows shortcut it goes outside the quotations in the target. Be more consistent windows jeeze.

Ok my Q3 server says it's starting properly but I'm unable to connect from my local machine. If somebody could check for me and let me know if they're able to connect or not I would appreciate it.

162.208.48.226:27960

E: I assume ZDR's server uses 27960, or somehwere around there since that's Q3's default.

E2: Server is now up, running CTF at the moment.

My suggestion is to do what you like, after all it's your server. Wormskull is probably going to bust your balls and have you running in circles regardless.

Well yeah but I'm not going to go out hunting for map packs or anything right now so if anybody would like other maps that's cool. I'm not going to remove the map just for wormscrub though.

I need to invent a drug that makes game time seemingly as long as work time. Like LSD but where I can actually play and not die.

I used to wreck fools at 1.6 on acid occasionally. I usually did not stick around for more than a map though, because the Counter Strike community is usually pretty toxic and that's not what you need around you.

Thank you for reading my story about wonderful hallucinogenic drugs, and also video games.

I've been pretty busy so I haven't done anything with my server lately like a jerk, but people should play Driver SF multiplayer with me. Nobody's on it any more and I would like to try it some time. Also I need to get dumb ubisoft points to unlock challenges in the game and one requires being level 5 in multiplayer. Gonna smoke a bowl and play for most of my evening tonight, I'm in the steam group friend me if you want to get your Driver on.
