A Few 1.04 Questions

Alright, so I hear that there's still a few good old fashioned 1.04 dedicated servers around... My first question is... Where are they? I am guessing they're non-steam but what are they called and what's their IP address?

Other question is can you join a 1.04 server with 2.0 installed? If not, can you have both 1.04 and 2.01 installed at the same time and how do you do that?

    rename your ns folder ns 2.0 then install 1.04 (when you want to play 2.0 rename your ns folder ns 1.04 and rename ns 2.0 to ns)

    I don't think there are any servers that are being left up, I think there were just some pug and temp servers up or something

    Download the <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>All Seeing Eye</a>, and you can create a filter in it that lists only the 1.04 servers that are up at the moment. If you're having problems, post here or email or PM me and I'll list out the filters.txt additions you need once I get back home.

    Filter by server name will do the same thing, provided that the server contains the words "NS 1.04" or similar. (Most do.)

    I wrote a batch file that toggles between ns 1 and 2 by using CHOICE to rename one or the other. It's not hard to do, so I think you can whip one up. HTH


    EDIT: I have a copy of the choice.com file if you need it, so PM me. There are DOS sites all over the place where you can get better versions too.

    All-seeing-eye is by far a better solution though.

    1) ASE is faster than half-life's built-in server browser, so ASE is highly recommended even if you're looking for a normal game to play

    2) Its filters are quite flexible, not just server names (which don't always follow the up-to-the-minute server changes). You can search for servers that have tournament mode on (friendly fire, woohoo! This is very often turned on briefly without server name changes), that have 2.01, 2.0, or any other very specific server version... sometimes even whether a server has a particular mod installed (eg. lerklift).

    3) You don't need external programs to change options or whatnot, it's all built in. This might not be a big deal at first, but I have 10 - 15 different checkboxes I regularly toggle to select different criteria, depending on what I'm looking for or how many servers are available at any given moment.

    ASE is the go man. Seriously i dont know what i'd do without it makes verything so much easier. 'Cept for the fact i keep losing my clan tag due to its naming tab but meh makes things so much easier, and works with so many games!

    I dont think there is a permanent 1.04 server that gets left up but maybe its an idea to leave in the server op forums.
