Im setting up a server for old games at the moment. Would anyone here be interested in the details once its up and running?
At the moment weve got the following games suggested or conformed ::
Confirmed ::
Unreal Tourny (Original)
Suggested ::
C&C Tib Sun
AvP 1
SOF 2 - not keen as i know my website members, and theyll scream all day long about, and theyll kill the scheduled games so they can play it.
Wolfenstien Enemy Territory.
Mech4 :: Mercenaries (Using Team Banzai NFMs for anyone that has played the game a lot).
any other possible games that would make a nice addition? Or some alternatives. UT1 is a definite, the others are pretty much up in the air. The machine itself wont take new games, its only a 1.8 P4/1Gb machine, and im looking for a low-profile AGP card to go into it so i can actually get a couple of the games installed because ive found they wont without a 3d accelerator installed. Machine will be sat on an ADSL line with what will be about 16Mb/2.5Mb on the line (gotta love Bes Pro Package.)
Comms will be via TS2 as in the past we tested and found it was lighter on bandwidth than Vent.
yeah im game. would be awesome to have a game of UT :)
deffo intrested in UT.... oither than that... nothing else really jumps out at me :o
maybe Red Alert 2 ?
+1 for UT, maybe quake 3 too?
Defo in for UT - how about C&C Generals? Much prefer it to Tib Sun/RA2.
I would need to find game disks or some supply but I would be interested, havent network gamed in a long time so very rusty. I will probably make good target practice tho :mrgreen:
id play ut, be ubernoober tho. I think one of my rl friends would too.
RA2 would rock.
UT and RA2 :)
If i remember correctly I couldnt get AVP1 to run properly last time I tried on XP (now on vista)
Mech4 and even MechCommander sound good in my books :D

If i do put Mech4 on then itll be running the Team Banzai NFMs. I used to be a member. Just think, PeaSoup Fog + Big City + a Daishi with 1xCUAC20 and 2xLBX20. Its Leathal, knocks other assault mechs over!
Didnt get into it online that much to know what Team Banzai NFMs are :)
I used to always go for a thor or baby thor (hellspawn?) wack up full speed, add a few flamers and go join the big matches :D
How about some HL2 mods?
Ive been playing some Hidden : Source (http://www.hidden-source.com/downloads.htm) recently and its great fun. :)
Source Forts is one of my favourite free HL2 mods. Very good fun.

But any classic game, Red Alert 2, UT would be cool.
Ooo might have to give Source Forts a try at some point, looks quite funky.
Think if you are doing a game server you should ignour the HL2 mods as there are already thousands of places around that you can play them where as its alot harder to find the old game ones,.
been a while since I played anything much so I will suck big time, but would be well up for some UT, C&C Generals or RA2
Server is now up with UT1 installed on it, with a CTF cycle running though the complete map list. Settings are for 3 flag caps.
IP Addy is :: 87 . 194 . 180. 131

Take out the spaces in that lot to get it. Ive just tried playing it from work, and this Vista lappy hates the damned, game, but it did let me connect. TS Server will get done Tuesday evening.
Edit : If any of the Admins or Mods want admin access on the server then give me a shout, its got LogMeIn installed, so its easy enough to admin.

Try vent with version 3.0 better then ts in my opinion
Cool you setting that up though, wd Shame I was randomly banned from steam when Valve did all those cock up bans and they never sorted me like many other people (as many though on purpose to make you buy a new key)
I would say do vent 3.0 instead of TS... I hate TS :P
Cool thing about UT1, going to have to dig out the game and see if we can get a match sorted over the weekend :)
cool, ill install it when i get home from work !
OK folks, it seems to be working OK. Had a few folks playing it the other night trying to kill it.
IS CTF the best gametype to play for now, or would something else be better?
CTF is good when more people get on board. I cant believe I missed this first time round, Im well up for some UT action, Ill try and get on board this weekend :)
At the moment its still UT, but ive changed the settings to Team Deathmatch.
Ive also after some tinkering managed to get TS2 working. The limits that are aparrently on Vent unless you pay mean TS2 is what im using.

If anyone notices any problems or has any issues then please give me a shout. Ive used no Special Maps or similar, its a default install for UT and TS2.
Im getting utterly owned! I knew i was rusty, i didn;t think i was THAT rusty!
Quake 3 would be nice, I found my cd code and stuff the other day :)
