Reviving [ZST] Clan Servers: Seeking Wisdom from Unreal Tournament Veterans!

[keyboardcowboy]

Hey fellow fraggers and [ZST] enthusiasts!

The nostalgia bug has bitten a few of us oldies, and we're itching to resurrect the glory days of Unreal Tournament 1999. Back in the day, we ran three servers strong with around 60 members, but it's been a while.

This weekend, we're dusting off the old hardware to revive one of the servers.

Here's the big question: should we stick with the original setup and perform some upgrades, or is it time for a fresh start?


We've had got two servers humming on Linux and one on a Windows server, and we'd love to tap into the collective wisdom of this community.

If you've got experience in resurrecting UT servers or have insights on the best setup, configurations, and any cool mods we should consider, we're all ears.

Your advice could be the key to unleashing a new era of fragging fun. Share your thoughts and help us shape the future of [ZST]!


kind regards

What gametypes do you tend to use?

We started as sniper/camper clan but in the last years we played a lot of CTF

Do you really use a Windows server? Or do you mean "an UT server on (client) Windows"?

Hello [ZST]Keyboardcowboy,
if you're interested in sniper camping, you might take a look at Discord channel "UT99 Camping Sniper Community" (CSC) to setup clan matches, join tournaments or obtain infos about new sniper mods/maps (see an example: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16191). the same "nostalgia bug" brought many players of the past to play again sniper mod and, probably, you might find old clans and friends on there.

regards,
Pietro

A dedicated server on a client windows machine.
