So how's the server doing?

[Razz]

Hi monkees,

Just curious as to your opinions of the server that's up atm.

I know there's some peering issues with certain ISP's and Wireplay (BT, Freeserve, Tiscali) but I was wondering what you all thought of the actual settings on the server. Is everything ok? Do certain things need changing? etc

Post your comments/thoughts below


Cheers in advance :)

generally it seems fine razz, myself, mikkk and elwood managed to get a few peeps in the other night, filled it for 5 ot 6 maps till sicily then loads of bods dropped, myself included.
ping wise for me its ok being a modem wallor, around the 180 200 mark which is usual for my bt connection but other wise ok...dunno what you want to do about maps etc because of ver 2 coming soon (i hope) so ill post bout that if 2 never appears for at least 2 or 3 months.
ps...gimme admin so i can change maps hehe, cant stand dod_dam!

[Fluffy Bunny Feet]

Someone actually played on it!!!

Everytime I check, its empty. :(

Still if it helps it works very well with just me on it and I get a really good ping:)

[Briggerz]

there are a few things id like to bring up about settings, although its probably not worth bothering with as beta 2 is so close.

anyway like bloke said, the map rotation needs sorting, sicily and dam should be taken off.
and as FF is off the command "mp_teamplay" should be set to "21", its currently set to "1" this makes you go slow when your teamates shoot you, this shouldnt happen and was fixed in beta1.3b by setting it to "mp_teamplay 21"

as for performance i find it quite good, playing on it once with someone sharing my net conn and a full server we were both pinging under 100(i got about 70 and the other 90).

im on isdn with bti as my isp.

got to say ive been getting nice pings on my own too, better than the 100+ i sometimes get on BY when their 16man servers are full.

[Briggerz]

right im gonna take it back now.

i just went on and was getting a constant ping of 300+ WTF is that all about?
i left and went on BY and got my normal ping on there.

something must be wrong, its usually good. :(

[Briggerz]

back to normal again :)

tbh FF off just doesnt intrest me since its a totaly differnt game greandes have such a big blast area that people now just spamm them in an atempt to kill some one but the other team has to run like feck to get away while the other teams wades through all the grenades going off sucks ;(

its loads of rushing and spamming where as FF on means peeps are a whole lot more carefull and dont spamm loads and if they dont you wont have 6 axis running through the grneades to get the flag and your unable to stop them

Beta 2, FF on, Server spy and Adminmod

[Razz]

Adminmod's already on the servers :P

All read and received.

Thanks monkees!

Will start tweaking today :)

[Easileigh]

if adminmod's on there you might consider making some popular custom maps voteable

probably a bit too much to ask at the mo :P

[NumbNutz]

Only on person on the server this moring, so I joined to say 'Hi'. By the start of the next map, the server was chocca & myping was sub 70 all he time.

[Razz]

All maps should be votable m8 :)

FF is now on so watch yourselves :P Anticheat stuff's been updated :D dam and sicily are now removed from rotation (any maps you lot want on there? There's only the standard DoD maps there atm)

[Munro]

Ping is a little unstable still.. sometimes going up to 400 for a second :O But anyway.. I don't want to test it but what is the TK limit for the server?

Good custom maps for the server:

dod_belgium3
dod_cr44_b2
dod_devastation_b5
dod_fakedawg1_b2
dod_fortzwei2
dod_oslo_v4
dod_roughlanding
dod_volonne_b2
dod_nijmegen
dod_falaise_v5
dod_avesnes
dod_bridge
dod_brick
dod_dog1_a04
dod_dog_green_a07
dod_mountain_b2
dod_invasion_b3
dod_zeppelin3
dod_dune
dod_rubble_v3
dod_thunder_b3
dod_odenwald
dod_ramelle_b04
dod_radar_beta1
dod_gondsroth_v3
dod_goldbeach_FINAL
dod_spb_omaha
dod_opkom1
dod_field
dod_633_v1
dod_zafod
dod_bremen_b1
dod_wolfbeach_b1
dod_norway_b1
dod_d-day_invb4
dod_warsaw
dod_2fort

I'm sure theres a few others people would recommend.

[Razz]

Got urls for all those? :)

[Bloke]

with regards to the custom maps munro, are they all working with ver2?... i dont wanna spend hours getting a good map download on the go to find they arnt ver2 compatible...me poor modem will die if that happnes.

[Bloke]

oh and the TK limit seems set at 6...think thats how i read it.

[Munro]

I don't think any are compatible with b2 yet. You can download the maps from www.fakemaps.com and www.fastclan.com/dod/files/maps

[Briggerz]

alot of them maps are either not finished or totally 5hite.


id say just go for the first 10 and dod_norway too.

[Bloke]

or we can just put up with the boggo maps till ver2 is released...gotta be this week surely hehe:naughty:

[Razz]

Maps added that can now be voted onto the server:
dod_belgium3
dod_cr44_b2
dod_devastation_b5
dod_fakedawg1_b2
dod_fortzwei2
dod_oslo_v4
dod_roughlanding
dod_volonne_b2
dod_nijmegen
dod_falaise_v5
dod_avesnes
dod_bridge
dod_brick
dod_norway_b1

and you can vote the normal dod maps on too :)

If there's any of these maps that are really popular can you let me know and i'll add them to the rotation for you.

Anything else you'd like done? :)

[Bloke]

aye stick them maps in a map pack on the wireplay ftp so i dont have to go trawling round the map sites:naughty:

[Razz]

They're all on http://www.fakemaps.com/custom.html :)

well you can always set FF off and have grenade FF on.

if you set "mp_friendlyfire 1" and "mp_teamplay 13" i think that should work.

this way you cant shoot your team but your grens will kill your team.

[Briggerz]

btw, nice one razz
