50 Player Market Garden Server Launched!


(Locki) #1

We’re now testing our 50 player Market Garden server! :banana:

It should be visible in All Seeing Eye, GameSpy and the in-game server browser. It’s named Splash Damage Market Garden Server.

If you cant find it, try connecting directly to frigg.splashdamage.com:28960.

It’s hosted on a dual-processor server sitting on a full duplex 100mbit connection, so performance should be good.

Right now it’s running vanilla RtCW, but it’s easy for us to change it to OSP or Shrub - just let me know what works best. If there are other settings you’d like to recomend, feel free to post them here too.

I’ll leave this topic as sticky for a while. Please let us know if you experience any problems.

Excellent - will visit it for testing over next few days…

We have a battle on MG Soon - A lot of the Ex GD regulars versus a group of finnish clans are having a “Battle Of MarketGarden” just a fun thing - but may become regular event ;D

We have been experimenting on Jolt servers with shrub and it has worked well so far.

Limiting Heavy weapons to 2 of each per side has been good so far but is not essential.

just even purely for the added stats etc it can be a bonus… I mean who doesnt like to se their name in lights? espescially if aplayer has had a poor game but can v57 at leats for being a 1337 collector of binoculars…lol

Some of the other possible options are deffo no go areas. Underwater revives bias the map for allies in river and lead to pf’ frenzy in river area…

:banghead: Will get everyone to try it and get feedback posted here for you.

Once more can I say thank you for doing this - It is great to play MarketGarden @ home so to speak… Maybe even do a map rotation featuring a couple of other Splash classics? Did eagles nest ever get released?

Let us know…

Thanks

Greets.

I’m the Admin of =TSG= Marketgarden… one of the “Original” MG servers running outside of gamesdomain.co.uk.

My suggestion: Shrubmod w/limited lives. I will be more than happy to submit a config file for such; we have found it to be balanced, fair, and fun. =)

i.e. 1 panzer per team; 20 minute time limit - sliding latejoins (join later… get less lives)… plus use of smoke grenades, ammo giving, and all those great features that shrubmod allows you to do as a player; and as an admin.

I highly suggest SplashDamage take a look at shrubmod’s “feature set”; and please endeavour to ensure that these items are not overlooked in the new RTCW:ET game (ie. medics can revive underwater, helmets actually protect your head etc… =)…

I have found MarketGarden to be pretty much the best map / gaming experience I’ve ever had (ie. Limited Life Marketgarden w/Shrubmod)… and I do hope it (or something simmilar) makes it’s way into RTCW:ET.

Feel free to contact me via e-mail as well - I would like to setup some servers for you guys in North America for the new RTCW:ET. (Multiplayer games aren’t any good unless people have a fast/low ping server to play them on… =)…)

Cheers.

You might be attempting to play RTCW “in a window” instead of in “Full Screen Mode”.

When RTCW loads, hit ~ (tilde), and type “/r_fullscreen 1” (without the quotes).
