Many server?

PiercingDegree · February 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">There will be some servers for ns?</div>I'm new in the NS community, so fisrt : Hi everybody !!!

Is NS will have some severs for the first release ? Because, this mod look REALLY great. I often see great mod with great potential but there is no server!

I think to have a lot of servers at the begining do a great difference on the mod popularity. You think like me?

FragHaus_Jabrim · February 2002

Well I am <i>pretty</i> sure I can have a server set up @ FragHaus. Once our main guy Ed sees about this MOD he will probably be interested as well. So hopefully you can add FragHaus to your server list.

Flayra · February 2002

I don't think we'll have a problem getting a bunch of servers up. I think that if the game is good, people will run servers. I can't think of an example where there was a great game that had very little servers.

We're also going to be working closely with the server admins to make sure NS is admin-friendly. It hasn't gotten going yet, but we will have a special group of server admins that will give feedback on the server side of things, to make NS easier to run, less cheat-prone and generally more easily accepted by dedicated server community.

wow, slow down a minute, sci. hunt is a great mod (i think)
and it usualy dont have any servers.

Moleculor · February 2002

That's because Sci Hunt has very few good maps, is somewhat buggy (or was last I played it) and gets repetitive after a while.

executor · February 2002

what do ya mean it dont have good maps!!!?
it has wonde... oh roght, i get your point now... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

but even dho some of the maps arent perfect, it still have several realy fun scenario modes <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> .

i challenge anybody who`s got the guts to fight me in sci. hunt!!! <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

but seriously, if your up for a sci hunt game, gimme a beep (thru ICQ)

Sgt_Bilko1 · February 2002

If the game is a good as I think it's going to be I'll have no problem dedicating a box in our university LAN center to NS. We have dual T-3's on campus, and I think I have a 700mhz athalon box sitting around here somewhere....

Spyder_Monkey · February 2002

Maybe you can set up a decent Sven Co-Op server while you're at it. It takes us forever to find one. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Now that HomeLAN has shown some interest in the mod, I'm fairly confident that they might do the right thing and dedicate at least one server to NS, but extra dedicated servers are always a plus.

Bob_the_Alien · February 2002

they can get rid of one of there 4,000,000,000 cs mods for a ns server -_-

Marvin · February 2002

if there is a Linux server program i can have one up on the day of release <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Comprox · February 2002

Im likely going to have at least 5 servers under my control in the US, and I will look into getting some in AUS and Europe if there is enough demand for them. Most likely I can get the US ones for free or very cheap, either via member of HomeLan Federation, or favours owed to me from other places.

Spyder_Monkey · February 2002

Comprox = Mafia connections. I favor the black market myself.

FragHaus_Jabrim · February 2002

Will there be a Linux version available for servers, since thats what most, if not all of FragHaus servers are?

pielemuis · February 2002

Hehe comprox sounds fishy indeed!
Could you set me up with a piece, i need a server badly!
Gonna knock Flayra on his head with the piece place monsE's fingerprints on it and voila me is running the show!
Then my army of Belgian servers will arise! Leaving no place for other servers, making the non-belginas not able to play NS (cuz of pings ranging from 1000-5000, they're belgian servers=crappy) cauzing mass suicides in the rest of the world leaving the way to emperor of teh world open for moi.
PS this is not off-topic, it's about servers. Anywayz i do hope there will be a linux port as a lot of servers run on linux.

Comprox · February 2002

*Squishes another body into his closet* Whadda mean, bad connections? <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Nah, favours from web design and other grfx stuff

Bob_the_Alien · February 2002

*is walking down the street and see's 4 swat trucks pull up to a house and then sees the SWAT team jump out to raid it*
hmm...
*waves to Comprox*
*yells*
COMPROX REMEMBER WHEN YOU GET IN PRISON TO KNIFE THE FIRST GUY YOU SEE, YOU MIGHT GET A MONTH IN SOLITARY BUT YOU WONT END UP BUBU's BEST FRIEND

Pedda · February 2002

If there are no deds, listenservers will save the day. That is, unless they aren't very unstable and buggy as in some other mod releases (no I didn't tell a name here).

Shuvit_Viper · February 2002

how will the release work? will it be 'when its done we release it, alltogether', or will it be planned, saying first giving the server to all interested in ded servers, then the client? (like cs)

pielemuis · February 2002

I think they should do it like that viper, that way there'll be aready soem server to play on, i do hope that some-one will put the ip of his server on the forum or on the net, cuz trying to find it with the hl-browser thing just takes to long and i deleted gamespy3d and don't want to fill in that form again to download it, just 2 much work <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>.

MariNe · February 2002

Well i could get my 24/7 server running again like i used to in Sven-Coop but itd take some time.I wonder if Admin mod will work?

pielemuis · February 2002

hmm i guess it will.

Sgt_Bilko1 · February 2002

A dedicated clan with 5-10 members could easily split the cost of a co-location service and host a dedicated server. That's what I'm planning on doing. Anyone have some rough ideas on how much bandwidth any type of half-life server takes up per month or per week? On average? Say, a 12-16 player server for instance.

I used to run a half-life server but I never kept stats.

Sgt_Bilko1 · February 2002

Scratch that one....I just found this while searching around the web.

<a href="http://www.recongamer.com/" target="_blank">http://www.recongamer.com/</a>

Clan server hosting.

MariNe · February 2002

Well well just see if admin mod works when the mods ready i suppose,hope it works cause itd make it easier for me to host my server and if any blockers or cheaters come in you can just slap em,kick em,and ban them.Itd make it much easier to host with admin mod <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

FragHaus_Jabrim · February 2002

Why wouldn't it? heh <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

pielemuis · February 2002

should be fun watching a bob getting slapped, just watch that sucker fly around the map.
BTW can anyone see my avatar? I chanegd it but i can't see it, its just an empty square with an x in it.

MariNe · February 2002

Lol.Poor bob gonna get slapped silly by Interfector. *looks to see if bob is watching**runs into the closet* <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

MariNe · February 2002

Well there will probably voting and stuff like that (as it said in FAQ)in Natural selection anyway but Admin mod has many more features so id never host without admin mod <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> By the way interfector did you ever have a Svencoop forum account?

pielemuis · February 2002

no, never even played it, but i'm going to download it now.

pielemuis · February 2002

Downloaded the game now, played on soem servers had a ping raning between 150-500 but i had fun, not many servers btw, i had like 7 servers in that list.

MariNe · February 2002

Yeah its usually just a small list but i had good times with the mod,now moving on to Natural Selection <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
