Finally got my own server! w00t!

(amazinglarry) #1

Hahah, I picked up my own server the other day from Trinity Games. It’s a 20 person server with 4 private slots, located in Dallas. Though all my east coast buddies and myself get pretty impressive pings there (between 50 - 80).

At the moment it’s called AmazinGLarrY’s Magic Show. Hahah, corny right? :smiley:

The IP is 69.56.212.66:27960.

I’m currently in the middle of switching to ETPRO mod so at the moment it’s basically a stock server with little tweaks here and there. Pretty damn smooth pipeline though… tasty. Got a 2 panzer limit and such (I hope anyways, it’ll all be taken care of as soon as ETPRO decides it wants to work for me).

I invite everyone here to come play and check it out. I know most people here are experienced and good humored and that’s who I’d like to have playing there. Earlier I had a bunch of people telling me some pretty vulgar names and suggestions because I reset my server to load new settings after I told them I was going to about 5 times… some people just don’t respect the fact I pay for it and so on.

Read up on the server rules here…

Most of those rules are from Mr Donut’s Hole’s server rules but they’re still pretty applicable.

Just as a headsup… I think we all know my stance on Spawn Camping and as anybody would guess, Spawn Camping is ALLOWED on my server… anything goes, except what’s listed in the rules. In the end it’s all meant in good, non restrictive fun. So stop by and have a beer! ETPRO will be up in a day or less. :beer:

Reasonable, shame i’d be pinging bout 100ish… just not the same anymore… :smiley:

Ha, I’d be struggling being in Australia. I can’t even get on the SD server.

Christ the memories of pinging 600 with 75% packet loss to Ausfortress’s and AUS3D Q3F servers on a 56k modem… /me kicks termi, fuzzy and teddy for living over there…

Quit yer whinin!

:banghead:

(The_Jesus_Zeppelin) #6

wow! thats unbearable. i couldnt live without my avg ping of 50

are you on dial up or what?

Lol, I have 1.5 mbp/s DSL, but the amount of connection interrupts is still outrageous. (Hey, my Av. ping is 42) :smiley: :smiley:

(The_Jesus_Zeppelin) #8

but the amount of connection interrupts is still outrageous

i get those all the time, but its not my connection. my modem sits on the floor so somtimes when move i put it on standby.
im tempted to move it, but im lazy.

Well if you’re not in the states that may be a reason you’re not pinging too well to my server :wink:

I got ETPro up and running and all though nobody’s seemed to take to it yet… it’s been full a few times for a few hours then dies out… The Hole was never like that, it was ALWAYS full. Strange stuff.

(The_Jesus_Zeppelin) #10

i was there last nite AmazinGLarrY, there were like two poeple on and one was afk, you were in spec. its not a bad server by any means, the ping is great.

I got ETPro up and running and all though nobody’s seemed to take to it yet

it made me re download et pro 4 times so i finally got tired of waiting after each map and headed out.

Loads of watermark Pk3’s are being downloaded when connecting (one a ND80) and a load of other PK3s, so maybe that is putting ppl off larry

(amazinglarry) #12

Hahahah! Yeah I know that was all my fault. I somehow managed to move MY etpro folder (the one from my computer) into my FTP which overwrote everything etc… which is why it was forcing everyone to download those things a thousand times.

Believe me, I heard so many complaints from a few of my friends that they wanted to kill me (I wanted to kill myself too if I had to DL all that one more time).

It’s all fixed though like I said. :beer:

I’m thinkin of making it 6map though, since nobody really seems to like the standard 3map so much. I know I do but… it gets old playing 2 v 2 all day. What do you guys think? I want an official 6map and a mix 6map of maybe 3 or 4 of the better official maps and 2 or 3 of the best customs (most fun even).

(The_Jesus_Zeppelin) #13

off 6 map all the way.

(EvilBaga) #14

I wonder if theres a way to make a 6 map server but have the troublesome aspects “reset” after 3 maps.

For example Battle Sense Lvl4, Field Op Lvl4,maaaybe engineer Lvl4 and Soldier lvl4 too?

If you could make just those “reset” somehow then 6 map campaigns are good, because hey face it… Akimbo Pistols are cool :cool:

P.S By reset I mean you will need full 140 respective xp to get it again…not just a drop down to lvl3

(amazinglarry) #15

Well with ETpro I can jack up how much XP it takes to get each skill. Maybe that will make people appreciate them more? Heheheh.

Maybe start everyone off with level 1 everything, and just have the others double how much each needs to get another rank? I can’t think of how to actually “reset them” after they get it full.

Ahhh so Zeppelin are you PRO or CON 6map? lol.

shame you didnt get a EU server :frowning:

Pro! :banana:

Now that sounds like a good idea. Personally, I like 6 map campaigns, I like the ability to see my actions pay off for a while, but in a standard 6 map campaign, you end up with lvl4 far too early. So, incresing the XP it would take to get lvl4 anything would be good.
As for what 6 maps to use, I’d like to see 4 official maps with 2 good customs. And rotate those occasionally. I do like customs from time to time, but I just can’t stand spending an entire campaign feeling lost. I’ve been trying to play on the Terminal Insanity Custom server, to get familiar with the maps, but I still spend too much time playing Lewis and Clark the video game. Its nice to have a break from the lost feeling and just do some good old fashioned killing.
Also, some of the custom maps seem to be a bit lopsided. Temple, for example, I’ve only seen the allies pull this one off once, and it was on a server that seriously needed a shuffle, and even then it was a “by the skin of our teeth” win.

If you feel everything levels up too quick in a 6 map camp, doesnt that make you think that it was made for shorter camps? Hence the standard of 3 maps. :stuck_out_tongue: This, im sure, was/would’ve been one of the most important balancing issues during testing…
