Suggestion for a server installation

Post by Pileyrei »

Hi UT legends

My DM/CTF server is poorly.

I'm going to wipe everything and build it up again.

It hasn't been very busy and so I'd like to install something else.

Any suggestions?

Do you think its worth putting LMS on? Maybe even Assault?

Thanks for any thoughts.

AS is online nearly unplayable. People turn this game-type often into a DM.
LMS can be fun ...but what about the people who lost all their points already? Many tend to leave the server then or if the match is already running they can't join... and leave the server.

With the danger of shameless self and side promotion about to take place here in mind, maybe a Food Fight with Ultra Gore might be a juicy mix.

This week I found a DM-Deck16 only server with NewNet and the gore mod in it, which at the time was populated with about 6 players, and the combo was really interesting, it was really a lot more fun to headshot someone there.
The only problem with it, is that you start with all the weapons loaded, and if there's no one playing at the server, there are no bots to play against in the meanwhile. This forced me to download my own mod and play offline with it for a bit, and then go back to insta once I got bored of it.

I suggest looking at the poll from the map request thread maybe...... the underplayed gametypes would be cool. Assault would be cool, as personal choice.
But at the backside of the coin, the most 'popular' is CTF at the moment.......

Make this also like FF a standard evening or monthly date!

Hi all

Thanks for the replies.
The ultragore mod with Food Fight sounds fun :)
I may add the ultragore to my Deck server.

I agree CTF seems to be the most popular. Therefore, I want to offer something else. I really enjoyed Assault. A shame it died. LMS too.
It seems difficult to have a server with lots of game types as you cant please everyone. Seems most servers should be dedicated to a game mode only if you are to get regular players.[/quote]

Sure! Would you mind popping on to the server and trying a few FF maps. Sometimes I can connect, other times it just stays stuck on "connecting". I'm wondering if its just me :what:

I just noticed that all the Food is gone... so... there is nothing I can test.
You have a Deck only server and a FF related, or am I wrong?

And Hank's server are also down. :| No food.

@Pileyrei -- Any luck getting your server working right? Perhaps you got some other 3rd party stuff conflicting with the food fight or something
misconfigured elsewhere?

@papercoffee -- We must have food. We need food to live.

*atm it is just mostly stock FoodFight DM server.
All FoodFight.ini settings left at default.
Default v4.36 server install.
Only mods are MoreBlood, MoreGore, DoubleJumpUT and an old Mapvote. (mutate bdbmapvote votemenu)
Swarmspawner is adding a few birds/bats/flying sharks/mobile tentacles but not a lot.
Just a few files to download. I got no redirect atm, so they are coming off the server at
a fairy quick rate. If everybody gets a lag spike at the same time, it is probably because
new player connecting is downloading stuff. It generally wont last too long.

Ah sorry!
I got fed up of things not working so wiped the server.
It has a basic setup for now and I've slowly added a few things.

Most of the time I could not connect - it would just stay stuck on "Connecting".......
Server log shows me joining successfully.
Remove ACE - all works fine.

Anyway, I'll add FF back again.

I'm convinced ACE was not helping! Currently not installed and everything is working nicely.
Just need to add FF back and something else but not sure what. Server has been empty for ages :(

Oh, didn't notice that something went wrong.
Ok ...then, I'm waiting. :mrgreen:

:highfive: :rock: YAY!!

Edit------------------
Tested it MrLoathsome ...nice ...even so, you seem to have a foible regarding cows.
Those random spawning monsters shouldn't count as kill point. The round was always too quick over because the bots don't care for them but often got a bird or flying fish caught in crossfire ...and those stupid laser fish is annoying as hell. :mrgreen:

I will be making some adjustments to it today.
Agree the matches tend to end too quick. Will either increase the score needed to win or
turn off the scoring on SP kills. (Maybe both...)

The thing to remember when fighting NaliCow players or bots, is to shoot at top of the gun turret thingy
on their backs for a headshot.

@Pileyrei: Sounds like Ace was your problem. Keep us posted.

It seemed to be working fine... Burger CTF was great to play again against a real human. :mrgreen:

I don't know... did you install all recommended maps in the "How to play Food Fight" thread?
I think the edited 300k maps were missing.

I look for fitting DM maps.

EDITED:

Thanks!

Remember that cave map that started up with normal weapons?
Its stuff like that which sometimes happens. Was all working before then. All I did was restart the map and it was ok again.

Installed the 300k and 512k maps. Two didn't work - "cant find file or package for food fight weapons" or similar message.
Added some default DM maps for DM FF
Let me know some good DM map suggestions.

Added the Chef skin for you too.

ACE will go back on last but if it breaks things again its coming off :(
