Hey there,

I got some servers up and running for some weeks now. This thread I'd like to use for some news ... as there might be some in the near future.
As you might have noticed I got the statistics-scripts from DCC and made the setup lately.

As for this I too have a list for map-votes. It is located at http://stats.nwn-server.de/maplist.php
At http://stats.nwn-server.de there are also some stats about players, gametypes and matches.

Depending on these votes I perhaps will remove some maps, as they might be voted for not suitable for a game mode.

rocketarena_nex was removed completely yesterday as it seemed to be not playable (no skins seen at rocketarena_nex - everything black, except of players and weapons/gadgets)

In #nwn-server.de @ QuakeNet-IRC-Network there is a irc-channel for chatting and contacts. the live-message-bots are in #nwn-ctf, #nwn-dm, #nwn-dom, #nwn-rune and #nwn-fun on the same network.

If you would like I would be glad for some company in there.

Nice work ZyanKlee, I heard them serverz run very well (odd however I don't play even one of the gamemodes you provide)

How about setting up a nice 1on1 Server instead of the DOM one?

And it would be great if the servers would appear on the global server list...

I put your channel to my auto-join list

Thanks a lot, this is really apprectiated!

I would not consider to replace the Domination Gamemode server actually, it can be quite funny. Runematch, however, is really rarely used, and could be replaced with something different. Maybe a 2on2 server with ladder-rules ? (there are so few of those)

Very nice !

Good work.
I'll always be interested in the map-rating

that's funny ... TDM is the least played server ...

current Match-Stats:
TDM: 12
RUNE: 32
CTF: 35
DOM: 38
and last but not at all least DM: 140

I really think about setting up a LMS or (M)Instagib server instead of the TDM.
but I will wait some time with this decision ... there should be at least twice as many matches as there are now, to see which game modes are REALLY played most.

What about a fun-map-server?

... and what maps would be available there?

YAY! Great idea!!!

Just ask div0 for his Augenkrebs Server's maplist and other maps could be added lat0rz

yeah that would be sweet.

Don't forget to put splidfisk mod on there for some serious fun! @sarcasm

dm_acid3dm5
dm_augenkrebs
dm_gleeb_geocomp3
dm_o-fun
dm_pyramid_fight
dm_q3skoredm1
dm_suicidebooth-0.1
dm_weird_towers
dm_sierpinski
dm_blueamuse80
dm_dastower40

Still I'd like to know why the nwn-servers don't appear on the master server list...

actually ... they do!

they are named:
nwn-server.de DOM
nwn-server.de DM
nwn-server.de FUN
nwn-server.de RUNE
nwn-server.de CTF

This is the global server list:
>> Link to Serverlist
there you could look them up for yourself.

weord

I always use http://delight.vapor.com/serverlist.php, where they don't show up...

really strange ... perhaps delight.vapor.com might be banned at my firewall ... when scanning my server on ports that aren't used, a script adds some iptable-rules. I'd have a look into it.
But ingame the servers should appear. otherwise please use the direct connection at the corresponding ports:

DM: nwn-server.de:26000
DOM: nwn-server.de:26010
CTF: nwn-server.de:26020
RUNE: nwn-server.de:26030
FUN: nwn-server.de:26050

[EDIT]
Found the entry ... and removed it. Perhaps I'll find a solution for allowing scanning from delight's

hey you all out there ...

I did it - TDM is down. FUN is up ...

at present there are only a hand full of maps running there (dm_augenkrebs_alpha4, dm_weird_towers, dm_pushme, o-fun, dm_rocketarena_nex_2 and dm_loof) - suggestions for others are welcome (perhaps with a download-link?).

what about a modificator?


FUN is reachable through nwn-server.de:26050 or as "nwn-server.de FUN" through gamebrowsers

added them ... except for the last two ... couldn't find them

Hehe... but THAT was a coincidence

You do not want to have those two maps.. simple as that.

found the corresponding thread on dastower ... but whats up with "blue amuse" ?

same guy same bad map imo.. its WAAAAYYY to big, has not clues about were to find your base, way too small walkways that are almost impossible to get into, too many too dark areas were one can hide making it a DM map with flags. Both are just stupid maps. That tower map is just as bad as ctf version.. half map is unised in ctf at the flags in on top and beneath it (not directly but a bit outside) so all the funny pickups in the huge plane are worthless to the basic ctf gameplay, it again has no visual clues as were to find the bases, and it also performes bad, but it gets better and better with each nexuiz version anyway as each version improves

ok.... had a little meeting with Diomedes yesterday at "loof" - fps is baaaaaaaad there ... ok, the computer I was using isn't the best one for fps ... but 2fps (sometimes, looking up/down) is way too low. (I used "exec low.cfg" before playing it)

but, ok ... will test it on my computer

another error was on "rocketarena_nex_2" - everything except for the weapons and items was black ... does anyone know why this occurred? are there any skins missing? how to fix it?

ZyanKLee wrote:are there any skins missing? how to fix it?

No, the map is missing Check if the download link your server send is correct (or if it does send a link at all).

I guess it downloaded the file correctly ... or else it would not have been loaded, would it?

perhaps the pk3 is corrupted?

It was not only at my computer ... the others were complaining about it too ...
does the name of the .pk3 matter? it is called map-rocketarena_nex_2_1.pk3

ZyanKLee wrote:does the name of the .pk3 matter? it is called map-rocketarena_nex_2_1.pk3

No, as long as it's the same filename on the Nexuiz & http server.

so, then this wasn't the error ... what else may it be?

Hi

I dont know, but have that on other maps too.

E.g. pb-knights

I've just checked map-rocketarena_nex_2_1.pk3: there seems to be a shader that's broken. delete scripts/rocketarena.shader, rename the pk3 and everthing seems to work fine. However i have no idea why that shader isn't working anymore (i don't know anything about shaders, but that shader seems to do just basic stuff).

there is a need for more "proper" CTF servers imo. your server isn't one of them due to altered gameplay settings.

IF you want your server to become more popular, consider not to change gameplay settings, e.g. ridiculous things like low gravity.

If you insist on changing gameplay defaults, then reflect this in the server name (eg. "fun server" or more direct "lowgravity", etc.)

Just a hint

The Loof was updated yesterday and the new verion performs much better, FPS-wise. Had some nice rounds on The Loof just now, but two things popped into my mind:

- will the new version be there? [I've also told some players about "r_showsurfaces 1" and that using it can enable you to play at a decent framerate]

- what about setting the frag limit just a bit lower on this map, as it harder to score here so matches are pretty long? [just an idea, it's ok anyway]

I will update the loof on my server soon - as soon as I get home again. (next week)

the settings aren't modified by me - they are map-defaults ... but during update of the loof I will also look through the settings and correct them according to the ladder rules.
