Hi B-Man, I tried it from home and I had something between 30 and 40ms on Wireless. I hope I'll see you on the server

Sweet I'll give it a bash at the weekend!

Just added the servers on my xfire, should be on over the weekend

Getting a ping of 46, sweeeeet

Steffano2002

I'm on the CoD Deathmatch (83.147.161.92:28960) and my ping is great (even though my IBB connection is far from healthy at the moment...). It varies between 10 and 15ms. Went up to 20ms a few times but mostly between 10 and 15ms.
Got all my team mates from France to connect and they had around 50ms and signal was really strong, no lag/packets lost.
Then some German connected. They had around 90-100ms. One guy from the UK had 35-40ms.
At one time, 8 players were connected and my ping didn't increase one bit. Proper server that!

So, tell us about Gamejet! Are you going to be renting servers soon? The good news is, you have absolutely no competition in this country and an affordable provider is definitely required!

Hello Steffano! I'm glad results are great on the server, we were not expecting less So far we cannot really reveal all the details about the server as we didn't sort all the small details yet. I am more involved on the technical side myself so if you have any technical questions about the games on the server etc. At the moment we have only enabled CoD but I will probably start HL2: Deathmatch, CS SOurce and AA as well during the weekend as it gives us vital information about loads etc and what needs to be done to improve if necessary. So far so good anyway
I won't be around the forum all weekend due to personal reasons but I will certainly be playing at some stage and maybe meet some of you We are also working on TeamSpeak at the moment so wait and see

Nice pings well done

ill be on over the weekend! [CodUO]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone had any other feedback...what enhancements etc would be good, what is bad etc etc...be brutal

Steffano2002

I have no negative feedback for you as of yet crawler. Obviously when your company decides to publish their prices I will be completely outraged! But for now, nothing negative to report...

What do we expect from good servers?

- Excellent latency at all times, no slowdowns. Ever.
- No downtime (don't you just hate it when the server crashes in the middle of a clan war?).

And so far, that's what these servers are doing.

Now if when you start renting your servers and they start getting busy and lag starts appearing as a result, that's when the complaints are going to flood in. But how can we know how your servers will handle heavy traffic? So far, all feedback is positive AFAIC.

spooky donkey

Oh i`ll have to give these a go my pings are bad enough going to the UK anything that helps is apreaiacted!

Drapper

A few mods would not go astray ! look at jolt.co.uk they have a mixture of :-

DM/TDM/S&D/CTF/DOM for each game.

with,

German Front MOD / Heat of Battle and Revolt are very popular mods at the moment.

Key is to restrict the slots and give people good latecy.

I'd even restrict pings to 80 and below.

Also a welcome note is good with good regulation of the server i.e No TKing / AutoBalance ect if there is no admin on the server ! And a fair rotation of maps! Incluude vote enable!

Hi Drapper! Originally I had a mix of Game types but then just used DM and TDM just to make things simple for the time being I will create a couple of servers, try not to mix too many maps and Games types all in the same process otherwise the rotation will take forever, I'll create a few processes instead
One of my colleague is really into the German Front mode at the moment and is planning to install it, for my part I haven't tested it yet. German Front Mode is definitely coming in soon, Heat of Battle I don't know yet, I'll have to test it first as I only tested a version from a couple of month ago.

Pings are restricted to 300 at the moment, I'd like to give a chance to everyone to enjoy the server for a while you know AS far as I heard from the feedback people with higher do not seem to lag the server so much but it is probably there is not much people at the moment but the more people and the more regulation

Autobalance is yet setup to maximum of 3 players difference per team and vote is enable for maps, kicking players etc. already

I can't really say yet what we will do but we have the idea of maybe allocating a few slots per server fr some designated admin, now I won't have time to play all the time on it so the choice of the admin is yet to be decided but we could actually ask for interested persons but it is not for now

We will probably also put some portal available to the players where they will be able to vote for new game son the servers etc.

Hope you like the answer

I have checked these out for COD and COD UO and pings are great !!

Anytime I check though - doesn't seem to be anyone on (early evenings...)

As Steffano says - lets see what things are like when there are a good number of users on-line

BrokenArrows

ok seen as there is never really anyone on these server you cant really test it. How about we organise a time where everyone can meet on the server at one time and have about an hour of gaming to really test the server.

I propose Sunday 10th July 8 PM Irish Time (7PM GMT so you international users can find the time)

We can use 83.147.161.92:28960 and if it fills up we can use 83.147.161.92:28961.

If you interested in playing post up here and get your friends to come too.
We want a good match and a good test.

Good idea, I should be able to make it this Sunday

jonski

It is certainly a good idea , as we have spoke here often about organising a night when we could all play but the server has been the stumbling point , now it ain't anymore . Sunday night though is usually a war night on CB so you might find ppl not able to make it .

Hiya lads,
takin' a wee break from COD OU and the wonderful GFM at the moment. I downloaded RTCW Enemy Territority for free 2 weeks ago and I must say its not bad. It's a bit more arcade-like than COD OU, weel a lot more but still the teamwork element in the Campaign mode is only great. Its a free download too...

How about you run this on the server as well perhaps? Anyone else playing it?

I'll try to make it but I have a wedding in Cork on Saturday so not sure what time I'll be back at exactly... If it's before 8 P.M. though, I'll definitely connect to frag you all!

Vin, will you get your clan of homosexuals to connect also? Had a great time last night playing UO (never thought I'd say that!). We should do it again soon!

crawler

Thanks all! We will keep logs etc running.

pingoo

Zeroy - Can you make it this week end?

Steffano2002

Crawler,

Do you know when you will start offering servers to the public? Any news about prices?

Thanks!

Want to make sure it is rock solid first.....on pricing - lots of things being looked at, open to suggestions?

This still up lads? I forgot about it and so havent tried it out yet. Might give it a go over the weekend as i`ll be in my brothers.

Free server for 3 months for testers! How's that?

Seriously though:

- I think you should offer free TS with the same number of slots as game server.
- I think the price should depend on the number of slots starting with 12 slots all the way up to whatever your max is (64?).
- I think there should be a reduction if server is rented for long periods of times (e.g. 15% off for 3 months, 30% off for 6 months, etc).
- I think prices should start at around €25 EUR a month for 12 slots servers and go up by around €3-4 EUR for every extra 2 slots.
- I think you should have a great support for your customers (an MSN contact would or some kind of live chat through your website with 24hr support be ideal!)

The above might be outrageous to you but that's what I'm hoping for!

just a few - 3 irish lads and a few guys from Poland !!

spooky donkey

ah i`ll try get on tonight. I keep forgetting about it. I never check boards when im at home.

BrokenArrows

i stopped into the deathmatch server 83.147.161.92 tonight. There were 14 or so playing and the server was running beautifuly. Got my self 63 frags for 38kills. I live playing on low ping servers. My ping was about 35-50 for the whole things.
There were a few from LA there and they had pings of about 120.

I hope you keep these servers free. lol.

spooky donkey

Ah man sounds great I have to get into this. I was looking for some good cos last night i ended up playing on some uk one with a taticial realism mod. twas a bit mad.

spooky donkey

OK so i finally went on the death math server tonight and it was great laugh. A bit intense. I think you should take ship out of the rotation as there was about 10 players on the server most of the night. I left for half an hour came back it was on ship and the server was empty. Tough it was 12:20 am. But on a friday night I thought there should be a few late commers. My pings were sh1te but im not blaming the server for this you see im on IBB, and any one who knows anything about IBB knows they are muck. I`ll try it again when im in my bro`s on his eircom connection should be good then.
I added it to my xfire fav`s anyway and I should be on again soon. I had a lot going on tonight so I dident get to play for very long.

BrokenArrows

server is still running great but the fact that you are not running PunkBuster has made this server a Hackers Playground. Every time ive joined over the past few days the are about 3 or 4 hackers on the server cheating to their hearts content. They openly admit that they are cheating and with scores like 60/10 its ovious anyway.

If you plan on keeping this server public for any long length of time please install punkbuster.

Thankyou.

I would totally agree - more hackers on today !

spooky donkey

OH i never noticed any hackers on it now mind. As i was doing fairlly well with out it. But then I was on the DM server only. I might try the others see what they are like this week.

Steffano2002

I love going on these Irish servers! I don't like DM and TDM but it's fun to just connect when there's a few people and go crazy with a PPSH!

I connected to the DM server to test my new ".LxG|S!las" tag and just started playing for the laugh... Managed a cool 37-2 with 6 minutes left when I connected!

spooky donkey

Now I dont think you are a hacker I just rekon you are good with photo shop.
Only joking ive been on that server and got some mad scores like that also. When ya see guys who dont even know how to change the colour of their nicks or even their nick you know you are on to a winner.

Exactly why it's running in test mode....best way to learn Thanks for all the feedback so far.

Hiya,
I've popped into the Irish servers once or twice in the last week, but all I see is bloody deathmatch...pointless stuff. Can we all lean more towards the TDM!!! (or CTF or something else team based and I'll be a regular) Hint: GFM wud be a dream on this server...

Pale Rider IRL
(now where's me gewehr?)

spooky donkey

I like GFM also but this is not a COD:UO server just normal COD but a bit of TDM or HQ stuck in the rotation would be nice as well as the plain òl death match. I still like the odd gae of DM just not all the time.

Correction: actually i see there is some UO there as well just Ive only played normal cod on the server.

Crawler would it be possiable to give a few of us responsable tyes some degree of server control to change map and ability to kick the odd cheater or repeating TKer when team games are up. I have used Rcon for the 1st-ib COD server. I also admin a BFV server, so I wouldent have a problem doing it on youre server if ya want. Im sure Stephano and one or 2 others could do it between us.

Drapper

Been playing on the server a bit! pings are solid at 20 from NTL !!

any chance in getting the GFM up?

also, as Spooky said get rid of Ship!!

any update on the server control / vote functions enabled

spooky donkey

yeah vote functions would be fine.

YEah np its a great server for us irish lads really enjoying all the killing going on all the same.

pingoo

Hello all, I'm finally back sorry I had to take holidays at some stage
I can see that the lack of PunkBuster is annoying everyone and I actually knew about it at the start, I just disabled it temporily because of one of our tester who had trouble with it, I won't name him ... I will be working on the server this weekend, mainly during evenings and nights so you'll see PB probably by the end of the night tonight (dedication isn't it ).

Spookey/Stefano> You've been quite responsive which is really good and I was already thinking of assigning admins so if you are still interested, just drop me a PM with your email address and I will send you the details probably tomorrow evening, might even be tonight I would probably go for you to as of now but if anyone else is interested just let me know by PM.

Thanks again for all the feedback, it's great that everyone is pleased with it. I'm repeating myself but we are still at the testing stage so far so there is probably a few things here and there that are annoying I guess (PB I know, I know ) but it will be sorted trust me

Keep on the Good Frag People!

Steffano2002

PM sent!

Hello all,

Sorry for the delay but I had unexpected things to do this weekend so I couldn't sort everything out for you guys but it is now done

Punkbuster is enable and I manually updated as well. I also gave admin rights to 3 persons who have been following this thread from day 1 and have given us constructive feedback. Those 3 persons are Steffano, BrokenArrwos and Spooky.

Enjoy people!

Nehemie

(EDIT) -> I also took Ship off the rotation and also at the end of the week I will enable TeamSpeak on our server I will give you more details on time
