View Full Version : New servers

All our servers have moved. We are now hosted on a DDoS protected network. We may still get flooded here and there, just had one today but it last for the most part for a minute.

Anyhow, this post is not about any of that. I'm posting because, combo is getting crazy popular, BT is also getting very popular. Siege has already made it to #1 on gametracker within 5 days of opening the new server...

I am thinking of opening an NW server. Not sure if CTF only. For now, I need suggestions and people's input, where should the NW server be located? NA or EU? If NA, we will be hosting where all our current servers are. If EU please post location. I have in mind that if we go EU route I would go for NL. However, everything is relative. Post up. This is your chance to speak up.

Maybe you could make it east coast U.S.
I dislike playing CTF-Face all the time on publics here in the states, and I get 250 ping on euro servers and feel useless :mad:
if it's east coast maybe euros won't have ridiculously high pings, they will be in the 100s im sure, but hopefully not like 250-300.
as for how its setup, blaze should know what to do. Please just make it weapons CTF only with no DM column etc :p

SAM
06-18-2011, 05:21 PM
Well, if it was NA it would def be on east coast ;)

SAM
06-19-2011, 10:14 AM
It's meant for everyone lol but yes the target audience would be NA, latinos etc anything more is a bonus.

It's up seems to be popular already lol um maps please. We are running stock ut CTF. I'm gong to add the LE maps.

Oh damn, didn't notice this, I would have voted for EU server xD

Me and kron do somewhat decent in EU CTF servers...non zp 100% spd is my favorite kind of server.

Also, it would have been great to keep the Grapple instead of the Trans...kind of like how ND was back in the day!

Map: SniperFortress (its a must!!!)

server seems pretty good, only thing to do is edit in or out a few maps! no rush though, i will try to play there and get people too, we can go from there. :)

SAM
06-19-2011, 02:31 PM
Edit in or out which maps?

|uK|Rays
06-19-2011, 03:28 PM
I would need some help adding maps, but let's try to add maps that aren't completely cheesy, kthx. so far i just focused on what maps are already on the server, weeding out duplicates or maps that are out of place IMO.

Infested UGL whatever > Infested CE whatever
reason: Infested UGL version cleans up that hole above the flag room nicely, and has a nice amp/sheild going on in mid. powerups in the other version seem poorly placed.

November CE > November
reason: it's just better all around, November CE is smaller, simpler, and much more exciting, just don't fall into the water!

Remove LostTime
reason: overcomplicated and too big if you ask me.

Remove Face
reason: there's already CTF-Face ONLY servers. Face has no business being among already better maps.

Remove LiandriDocks
reason: oversimplified, it would dissolve into dming/spawnkilling.

Remove EternalCave
reason: I think this map is better suited for IG. It doesn't have that weapons CTF feel, maybe it's just me?

Remove Niven & Dreary
reason: You can barely throw a trans in these maps, very tight and crowded maps. Again, it might just be me, but I think these are more suited for IG.

Add CTF-Bolwerk & McSwartzly
reason: both are good maps that weapons players should already know, i don't have a link right now, but they are popular maps that shouldn't be hard to find.

Fair point, removed.

This one is staying I think....


Remove EternalCave

Again, this should stay until there is more input.


Remove Niven & Dreary

Again, should stay lol


Add CTF-Bolwerk & McSwartzly

Added McSwartzly, bollwerk on the way.

make the server no zp 60-100 tickrate and it will be fine

terminator
06-19-2011, 06:21 PM
No zp server ... i don't care about ping just don't put it ZP .. i speak in the name of eu players :P
and i agree with rays xcept liandri and face since it's server in which we'll come to play for fun

|uK|Rays
06-19-2011, 08:08 PM
Can we have redeemers off on the server please?

|uK|Rays
06-19-2011, 10:04 PM
everyone got together on teamspeak and filled the server up for about an hour, it was a ton of fun, thank you for the server SAM!!!

one thing i noticed though, there are two versions of mcswartsly, i think we should only have the original one on the server.

|uK|B|aZe//.
06-19-2011, 10:17 PM
put redeemers off take out the extra hud layout its not useful at all make it nonzp with a higher tickrate if not leave it zp i wouldnt care less just easier to own

|uK|chiseller
06-20-2011, 04:52 AM
You do realize that higher tickrate makes it even easier for LPBs?

06-20-2011, 03:54 PM
yay thanks sam :D

two small things i noticed though:
1. you can't steal enemy armor if your armor is already full. not a huge problem but since the servers new and there isn't a steady crowd sometimes you want to steal enemy powerups in small matches but can't :(
2. you can't tell how much armor you have for some reason, it doesn't update your armor count when you pick up powerups. :confused:

SAM

I posted the NW server on the MLUT website and advertised on their IRC and the response was pretty amazing. This server could end up being huge, everyone should give it a try! :)

But..but.bbutttt..... I love Eternal Caveeee. :(
Rays, why do that to me? :(

Anyhow, I had LAG.
And the server is SLOW!!

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I miss the 1v1 server, I loved that server. :(

Moko, you have no idea how bad CTF servers in the states are. This NW server I am (trying) to help SAM out with (settings, maps, preferences from other weapons players etc) has been received well by the biggest community of North American CTF players. Little annoyances are being worked out by SAM and I am trying to get people to keep it full constantly. It's going the right direction and I don't think it needs any extra gamemodes to divert the progress we're making.

I don't understand why you guys are having lag issues. Are all the other servers fine? Please go and try pug server. Also does combo feel laggy? Combo and nw are both at 100%

Browsing; i stumbled upon this post .. (which was posted about a week after playing my first playing Siege game (XXL2g)). Ironically; we DO have a NWADMIN server now, but no NW? .. I thought NW stood for NorthWest; why > no idea .. that's what NW means around my side of the globe.. anyways...

so @SAM (http://www.unrealkillers.com/member.php?u=1)? where's the NaliWeapons? would you like to chase that bug?

SicilianKill have it on his server. Just login as admin and summon those toys and play around with it. The nuke reward is pretty overpowered, 1 KABOOM near the core and the game end just quick, harder hit than a neutron bomb. Pretty serious stuff here.

Meanwhile I did test this offline before I decide to try NW3 + Siege on public server, it's not gonna look good as it is right now. I won't post that list right now as I can't find it but the NW3 can use some modification to work with siege (or siege for NW3? better to work with NW3 tho) because if you try to build a shield belt, the shield belt will respawn there. Same with damage amp in mid, it'll keep making the damage amp more often than having a random item. Meanwhile, cyborg and all that jazz, you'll need a harder map to work with this awhile we nurf the big nw3 nuke damage so core won't die in 1 shot or we'll have to take out some of the big one.

If this plans to be implemented there should be some serious buffs to the siege builds or serious nerfs to nali weapons damage, or just keep it the same and remove the hard hitting nukes, as im 100% positive theyll crash someone with low end PC due to them being HD. But then again, the lvl 1 nuke when hit directly to the core kills it, so it should take some time before everything gets tested and set properly. As for other stuff, Flame Tracker shouldnt set builds on fire, thats kind of a game breaker, the IRPR sniper can shoot through walls, therefore builds should be immune to IRPR damage if it goes through the wall (imagine killing nukes in clarion without even getting in). On the sidenote, id love to see how nuking looks like with razortrans. There should be alot to discuss about for this sort of siege, like siege mines and mines from the weapon called The Miner, how do we figure that out. Cybot should be a mid item, and could offer even more stuff then it currently offers, like EMP bombs. A battle on Face would be interesting, everyone will be using Graviton to throw eachother off the asteroid, but Graviton can also be used as a way of throwing a teammate on long distance, so it can be a nice alternative for boosting (if you can do it properly). And one last thing, I hope LC doesnt touch Vulcan :)

LOL! I thought you'd chime in somehow.

Well, I have the source to the NW3 package so rebuilding and ... obviously the download is gonna be another PITA so I'll try to reduce some package as possible that wouldn't be needed in siege.

Basically editing the source for NW3 to fit with siege can be done, with like everything you mentioned as well. Either NW3 can be a bit nurfed so the level 1 nuke won't destory the core in 1 bit... and the IRPR modified not to shoot through walls but allow the option to see players through walls (can be turned on or off or change colors etc) and so on.

Ps. NW3 have it's own lag compensation, so don't worry. :P

The game should also be even more spicier with The Oversurrector, although that too should be nerfed due to the amount of damage it can cause (depending on what weapon you sacrifice). There would also be problems with sup spam if you consider The Oversurrector because, lets say someone sacrifices graviton and shoots it right on the enemies supplier, thats some hardcore sup spam there.

One of my Son's nick's (the oldest boy) is IEvokeNerdRage .. maybe we could rename the NWAdmin server to this and do a Rebuild of the Rx and combine it with NaliWeapons 3 and create NaliSiege-Rx... speaking of qwerty's nerd rage .. but the idea DOES sound like fun.. bigger maps .. more powerful weapons .. and LOTS of EvokingNerdRage.
