Once I get a second computer I'm going to try this:

I just don't have the HD space for a full linux distro at the moment. (I play with live cds though).

Thanks 1bad, I'm glad I have such good maps to host. I'm going to post something tomorrow in the server forum about the server finally, along with a weekly schedule of what maps will be on each day.

Hey 1bad, I'm using the current map as an FFA with like 30 wings in my config. Should be fun. The way the rotation's set up we won't see it for like a week though, lol

Ok, tried to create the userdb file and add it to my config. Still didn't work. Since I have been wrong almost every time I posted, its probably something on my end. Are all of you sure about needing userdb though? I've tried going to other servers where I have never been, and not using my password ...

Hey 1bad, could you make a version where it's easier to get from level to level in the pyramid? Like with 2 teloporters on each floor, one leading to the level above, the other to the level below.

Thank you DW. That's it!! Actually this version isn't hosted anywhere. When Hepcat shut down I went through every server hosting the Babel Grassroots map looking for this one. New servers crop up all the time though, I could be wrong. I'm keeping the Hepcat version up 24/7 at 4201 and this one will ...

Umm, I don't want to say you are wrong, but I've been to a lot of servers that only use central and they don't have a problem with the "-" mark. Also I believe it should still work without passdb and userdb the way it is coded.

Anyone have the later version of the Grassroots map?

Right before Babel shut down his server, he made a new version of his map. It had a camping spot in the center with a teloporter. Anyone have it?

I've moved my grassroots map server from port 4200 to 4201 for the 5 of you who actually have been to the server since its been up. Guess it isn't as popular of a map as I thought. You could make it a rotation between overlord and babel/grassroots to boost the popularity. just like the old hepcat. ...

The '-' sign isn't displayed

Hello all, I have global login set up correctly on my server, but if one logs in without their password, there is no '-' displayed. (People's groups do work, with a password it recognizes Admins, regged players, and other groups) There seem to be some permissions that don't work either, such as the ...

By the way, your first map should get the prime spot in the rotation IMO it seems to be everyone's favorite. The others seem t...

BZadmin logs off on its own

Hello all, I use BZadmin as a logger on my server by piping its output to a textfile. This all works very nicely, but BZadmin seems to be able to log off of my server at random times by itself. I have no idea how it does this, but anyone who plays at my server can confirm this behavior. Anything I c...
