What are you talking about?

If you managed to see thru all the crap

Our good man pdog is getting the linux dedicated server. You reckon you could have it up and running tonite pdog?

Cheers

44 % downloaded on the server

CS 1.6 or CZ 1.2, i'll play either of them

it will be 1.6, i'm printing the CS linux server install guide now

Name it "Neowin CS Server" or something like that...

Can I be admin, since I somewhat started this idea (I'm sure ppl have asked this b4 but yea)?

dL

Well it will be something like that. Once I get it up we will decide about the admins. You and I will probably do it. You need to be active in CS though.

Of course

c'mon cs is old school
for your convinience read these links : http://www.s o methinga w ful.com/articles.php?a=395 and http://www.mydestiny.net/~magus/oldies/art...s/article8.html and http://www.geocities.com/phileosophos/essays/cssucks.html
better make an ut gold server

Did you say were the server is based?

I traced yuriy.net in your sig and one of the last few hops was los angeles.

149 ms 151 ms 152 ms

I can live with a ping of that, not played with ping that high in ages. Usually just stick to uk servers, get a nice ping of 10-20ms

well we can make one later. You can start a topic if you want something like this. The only problem is that much more people play CS than ANY UT game. (Last time I checked)

info at : http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/DataCente...1a?__frame=_top

server is at a0nycc2.gw-core-a.nyc.schlund.net i guess thats New York city

49 ms ping

So is it up yet?

If so, give us the IP so we can try it. Thanks!

dL

Server isn't showing up for me. At all.

doubt its not sommet you have up and running in a few seconds

he needs to sort out the rcon, map rotations etc

True, pdog, need some help for map suggestions?

dL

I'm up for suggestions, already helped set up another server running CZ with some sweet maps here for Neowin

eh ied rather have a ut2004 server but thats just me. cs is kinda old but still good.

yeah i know we have to have dust, but what else?

This would be quite the addition as I would love to frustrate all you neowinian cs'ers! HS HS HS

Dust?

I dunno how everyone else feels, but personally, I'm the kind of guy who likes 'funmaps'.

Would be nice to have that stats addon were you type /rank etc
been so long since i setup a lan i've forgot the name of it, its pretty easy to install.

As for maps i think its a good idea to just have the popular maps in rotation and the older classics/fun maps on so you can vote them on.

You mean amx mod Lightfast? Or you could use admin mod.

I vote myself to be an admin and that CS_Assualt is included

de_dust4ever
de_dust2002
fy_iceworld_arena
fy_oasis_x
fy_dinoiceworld
fy_snow
fy_bloody_snow
fy_pool_day
fy_dustworld
fy_stoneworld
scoutzknives2
awp_map (1, 2 and 3)
awp_city (1 2 and 3)
fy_supershotty

There's a million more. Enjoy.

Also, run amx, have several reserved slots for Neowin members by SteamID, uhm, a few other things.

(Yes, I help run a couple servers and admin on a few so I know all this crap by heart, I'm a geek sorry)

Um let's stick with the default maps + like

cs_deagle5
fy_iceworld
scoutzknivez
awp_map

the others... nah.

dL

that would be awsome if there was a CS server.

Well said. Those are my four favorite maps.

ok guys, this is my first time to set a linux server up, but it will be up before midnight -600 GMT or CST. If any of you know linux and can use SSH, I will be glad to hand over the busy work to you. You can use my server for CS stuff if you like.

I play CS all the time, this sounds cool. Whats the IP of the server?

They may be your fave maps and all, but having the other maps and some nice plugins brings in people.

While Iceworld itself is probably the most popular, Oasis_X is an amazingly fun map, as is snow and several of the others. Having them available either in the rotation or for voting helps the server. If you make it a funmaps only server, you'll see alot more people, especially late at night.

Sounds good, although I'd like to include:

fy_pumpladder
ka_roadwars_v2
fy_repub (Great fy_)
aim_aztec
cs_assault2k
scoutzelitez


And some Nipper maps, he's best.

blahhh
gahhhh
Hide_n_seek
cc_club_breakin
cspaintball2
clue3
usp_ninjas

Edit; YOu might want to get some kind of nomination plugin.

Lets go CZ server! CZ 1.2 made it a good game... CS 1.6 is soo old...

But of course there could be both CS and CZ . . .

Yeah there are a TON of awesome funmaps these days. I only named a small fraction of them. The ones you posted are just as good especially repub and gahhhh

There's already a CZ Neowin server setup, http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=191544

How you gettin on pdog?

We should just concentrate on getting the server going and getting it configured, custom maps come later

right now i'm uploading the steam server. it will be a while because its only uploading 48 K. It's a .bin file so i assume that I just do #sh steamserver.bin and then follow the installer?

Heres a nice guide

http://jap.servicez.org/steam/install.html

edit: might not be the best actually have a look thru google there should be a few

i followed the guide (although its a little outdated) and I am currently installing cstrike server on my server


I will DL and set up the maps later, for now it will just run dust until I get used to the program! If any of you want custom maps, or know how to use the server at the command prompt, please reply.

If your going to add reserved slot for Neowin members here just let us know.

Are you actually on Linux yourself, or Windows?

(And if you need admins I'd be more than happy to help out as funmap servers get a tad, uh...interesting)

Should password the server and leave the password on neowin here in PMs or the first page of the thread. That way it is neowin only

I can't say I agree, it would be pretty empty at times if that happened.

Yeah you're right I guess the reserved slot idea is definetly better.

i use linux and windows, i used linux for about 3 years + i did a gentoo install recently, so that counts for something! I think that we should leave it unpassworded.
