GAME SERVER REQUEST THREAD, what servers would you like to see run at respawn ?? Options

[dead_man]

Ok so its getting to that stage again that i need to start getting game servers running.

what do you guys want to see run. so far im going to try and run the following.

2x Gungame servers. TDM and Deathmatch
2x CSS servers. one for defuse and one for hostage maps
couple of UT3/UT2k4 servers. need suggestions for these

the 32 player HL2DM deathmatch server will be returning for another run of pure awsome

TF2 will have a server running thats for sure.

also a couple of COD4 DM/TDM servers. maybe a cod5 server if i get enough requests.

one server i will have up to test. so dont bitch if it doesnt work properly is COD4 GUNGAME

anything im missing or you want run? post in the thread.

i cannot make any garuntees that the servers will all be there. but ill try my best to make sure they all run

if people want stuff hosted come and see me at the LAN or PM me on the forums with what you want hosted. if you can configure the server yourself and give it to me at the event would be awsome

thanks

L4D servers of some description. I can throw you the files if you want.

[Frookie]

cod 4 gungame comp this time?

also is HL2 running the same map as last time for the comp?

[R4N]

im thinking a custom map for HL2DM this time round

and COD4 gungame is not a "comp" at this stage, ill probably run a CS:S gungame comp tho

L4D for sure, and get 8 player survival/coop mod for it (requires metamod/sourcemod)

I saw that. It has quite a few bugs/quirks as a part of playing it, I don't think it's worth it. But, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

i brought HL2 just for respawn:P

[SirSquidness]

HL2DM is free.

... if you own an nVidia or ATi card.

http://steampowered.com/nvidia/

[R4N]

crap... i only have a GMA950... no free games for me

[SirSquidness]

well... tell me your steam user name and password... and I'll get HL2DM for you...

*whistles innocently*

don't bring that up:(

1 day after i brought it my mate happy who is coming to respawn, was like oh yeah ill just do that free games deal THE ONE I FORGOT ABOUT!

[SirSquidness]

Hey, Valve's an awesome company. They deserve our monies.

... so yeah... game servers... for the LAN....

For UT:

UT2K4 -
1. Just a DM (or team DM?) server on standard map rotation
2. An insta-gib server (practice for the tournament)

UT3 -
1. DM server on TITAN mode (one of the new features of the latest UT3 patch, trust me, its really fun), UT3 has a built in map vote system, so no need to set up map rotation.
2. Either Onslaught or Vehicle CTF - the only problem with these modes is that even on the smaller maps they are only good with a decent amount of players (12+). Tank Crossing is a perfect example of a very small VCTF map that would be good.

Battlefield 2. I know a lot of people prefer COD4, but i still love BF2 ^^. Some of the smaller maps on a rotation would be heaps of fun

Red Alert 3? Idk how you'd be able to do it, but it would be kinda cool if we could have an RA3 lobby or something

You could try Left 4 Dead, but every time it's been tried at previous lans, it's never ended up working

I agree on using a custom map for HL2 DM, all of the stock maps are just waaaaay too small for 32 players, i remember last times comp, if you lived for more than 5 seconds after spawning, you were lucky

Lastly, can we PLEASE have a dynamic (or at least, updated very often) list of game servers currently running and how many players they have on the big screen? I mean, if i looked up and saw say, that there were 12 people in the UT3 server, I'd definatley stop whatever i was doing and hop on

EDIT: An easy way to do this, at least for steam, is to have the steam server browser on the projector computer, and enlarge it so you can see all source games currently running

thanks for the info mate. ill try and get some decent HL2DM custom maps as 32 players i jsut insane.

on that note what would people say to a 64player gungame server

working on UT3 atm. and working on 2k4 later this week

someone recommend some larger maps for HL2DM please

Not really that complicated, start map as coop once everyone is joined you change to to survival and slay everyone so round starts. Only problem is peeps can't join once its started or go idle otherwise they lose there spot

Yes depanding on map's played..

[Duwom]

OH OH, ill do soem edits to my gun game map =D

Edit: or make another map in the space of one day

[Danog]

Can we get 1 server for The Ship?

[SirSquidness]

Can we get 1 server for The Ship?

Dude... It would be my pleasure.

FUCK YEAH.

(Seriously... why does no one ever play The Ship? It's a great game! At least, the multiplayer is...)

[Frookie]

somebody has to get cod5 zombies going

[LolSauce]

somebody has to get cod5 zombies going

+9001

2 of us had a small game going at Respawn... But we needed more players.

Just how many people can you get into a Nazi Zombie server?

[Frookie]

4..

[LolSauce]

4..

Any mods out for more?

[SirSquidness]

Can we just let Nazi Zombies die a nice peaceful death?

L4D > Killing Floor > Nazi Zombies.

[Frookie]

no such thing as peaceful zombie death, any zombie games a good game

[Ultimate_Sacrifice]

it is awesome the new 1.5patch goes off!!!!

There's a ton of Melbourne Uni people that have it. Would be great to have a cruise filled with people.

[SirSquidness]

Well, damn. We should also totally organise to have an internet game every now and then as well. Such a fun game!

[Harkonnen]

You could try Left 4 Dead, but every time it's been tried at previous lans, it's never ended up working

I disagree, we had 4v4 counter-op of L4D going for an hour at v12, using a cracked version + direct connect to my respawn ip

EDIT: If enough people show interest, I'll buy The Ship by v13 and try it out

[SirSquidness]

Apparently Harkonnen fails at cracking if that's the case.

Buy The Ship anyway. Multiplayer only is $10 I think. We can do a shoutout at respawn and be all "hey sup dudes, anyone wanting to play the ship, join HMS Respawn now!"

HMS Respawn - coming to a Respawn near you.

[Harkonnen]

Apparently Harkonnen fails at cracking if that's the case.

Perhaps, but this is irrelevant if you're win at organising games

[TheTacoMan]

it would be cool if we could get a server for Dystopia running.

This Mod is FREE for anyone with a source game (HL2, TF2, L4D, CSS), it is easy to install (it installs through steam) and dedicated server is fairly straightforward (it runs through a standard source dedicated server)

On top of that, it is also fairly easy to pick up (3 classes, 3 weapons each, and a smallish arry of 'implants'. Hacking is a bit to learn, but you only really need 1 hacker per team) and it is very FUN!

[SirSquidness]

TheTacoMan: We'll see what we can rustle up. If nothing else, I'll grab the files off you at the LAN and set up a server from that you can use.

[savage]

sorry if this is already mentioned (didnt read the whole thread... sooo longgg lol)

but from memory there was a monash uni gungame type of css server running last time =]

will this be on again?

yes its ready, however comp will probley play on a 64player server this time. we actually got it working,

we will need ppl to help test at the lan, as a reward i cans stab you in teh back and move up a level

[SirSquidness]

We dont' need to test - I was playing with 63 bots! What more convincing do you need?

your gaming skill?

[SirSquidness]

What skill? Where? o_O

(I got pwned... probably beacuse of the lag induced from running that many bots)

[GIARUS]

i would like 2 see a SA-MP Server up if u think u can handle it

[_47]

Can you put on Cod4: Obscurity Mod.
http://obscuritymod.com/

[TheTacoMan]

SA-MP is a horrible game. GTA IV is only slightly better, but it's such a bitch to set up. GTA doesn't really lend itself that well to MP anyway
