Hello Alientrap : Introducing a New Nexuiz Public Server

[Fisume!]

*evil laugh*

A server where I will have low ping!

Heres a quick list of ctf maps you may want to have off the top of my head:

hydronexb7
symdusty_v2r1
mentalspace
greatwall_reloaded3
dance
resevoir_r4
moonstone
facing_worlds_nex2

You should be able to find all of them here:
http://maps.nexuizninjaz.com/

NOT facingworlds, greatwall_reloaded, mentalspace!

FIne greatwall_revisited then. You know they are all extremely popular maps they are going to end up on it one way or another. The noobs demand it!

Don't forget to mention ctctf6_nex_r2 map too! (it can be found at maps.nexuizninjaz.com) That's a must-have map, looks cool, and the buildup and size is for very intense actions (the terrain at mortar still should be fixed though ) Do consider it!

great stuff - cheers for the replies fellas. Just had a good few hours of DM then CTF. We're going to get on the case and upload recommended maps.

Whilst it's most of our communities first day on the game, it's received a really great response! Especially from those whose OS of choice is not Windows - but also from the windows players.

We increased the server to 24 slots. It's called Playportal.net ......etc.

With regards to map priorities.....we've alot of mappers, and an affiliation with TF2maps.net, so we appreciate a well made map. Our priority is not filling a server so much as making sure friendly peeps get to play the maps they think have real merit. We'll get some admin sorted soon and hopefully tweak everything so it runs nicely.

oh, and sorry about the spelling, me brains gone
Cheers again,

Colt

I've stuffed the server with the official 30 map map pack along with those recommended by Sepelio. I havent adjusted a map cycle yet....though it is set to CTF so i'm wondering if maybe it will know which maps are ctf and include them in the votes.

we've tweaked the config a little - including optimising the FPS / tickrate of the server.

I'm not sure if 24 slots is a little large - we're after the best experience of the game, rather than a total frag fest (when playing with small numbers i notice you need to think alot more, which i like).

If you haven't already, go add to the article i've posted and give it a DIGG http://www.playportal.net/node/840

All the best and hope to catch you in game soon,

Colt

Most CTF maps aren't designed to support that many players. I was doing 22 player slots and it felt like anything above an 8v8 was a total mess (with the exception of very few maps). If you do decide to put your player slots that hi, you should use the g_maxplayers cvar which allows your to set # of players that can PLAY. So, maxplayers 22 with g_maxplayers 16 would have 6 people spectating.


DM, LMS, DOM, Minsta and Keyhunt you might be able to get away with more... but not by many ^_^

2.4.2 Searchable cvar list, svn/2.5 has one built in but there is also a web one here for svn / Nexuiz 2.5 when you decide to upgrade.

Don't change sys_ticrate cause it affects default physics. Higher ticrate -> higher jumps.

The planetnexuiz.de ctf server currently has this maplist:

Code: Select all

sod that, just put good maps only!


and new UK server, even i will try this new one out after all i live in the Uk

[Colt Seavers]

Ok. Server reduced to 16 slots for now.

The maps are all working and we've used the rotation k0jak kindly recommended, with the includsion of Sepelios.

Our reasonning is that we don't know any of the maps at all yet - so want a wide-ish choice to see what floats our boat.

Love Dance btw - although that may just be cos i've been playing it alot : but it runs at 300+ fps on my system, which is unheard of for an fps!
