Ive been thinkn of makin my own server but i need some help

Post by D is for Dangerous » Mon Sep 10, 2007 3:20 am

Ive been thinkn bout it a lot lately and i decided to make my own server
Im not new ive been playin for 3 years now and have never attemted this before

Well all i know about how to make one is that on the main menu it says start server and a list of things like shot count and everything like that.

i know how to make a Basic server with just the bare essentials but i want to make it a little more interesting than the default map they give me
And im having a problem of making it not just a local server cuz then nowone else is gonna ever find it.

Can anyone give me advice on this? :|

There are a ton of good posts and articles that outline how to set up servers. Here are a few that helped me when I was messing around with running a server.

As for the Start Server feature in the game, it's not good for anything else than a quick LAN game, assuming you get it to work in the first place.

That just starts a random map. Maps that are randomly generated are hardly ever seen on first page of the server list, for obvious reasons.

Starting a server of your own is a big task. Study hard! Goodluck :)

What would your server offer that no server on the list currently has to offer???

There already are more servers than players... Just a thought.
...This has been a recording.

it would be a 3 shot 1 second reload with 2 times normal shot velocity and distance
the map is for those who r very skilled at reco and there will be many many many many walls all over the place
tank speed will also be about the same on pythonians server if uve ever been there u know what i mean
im deciding whether it should be an ffa with rogue geno or a ctf map

I wouldn't do rouge geno if I where you :) I know lots of people who really hate it. Have you thought about the layout of your map? Usually the CTF maps that keep teams separated by walls are usually the most popular, like missile war and the two castles. If you need any help with the actual making of the map just pm me, or ask a member of MDG, they know a lot.

Good luck, and remember to take your time.

Idunno PETER, I find that rogues are the only ones upset with Rogue Geno, so if you're going to be nice to the whiners, why not just remove Geno altogether? Rogue Geno plugin seems to make it a little more fair. However, you could also use a plugin that makes it so Rogues can't have the G flag.
