Quake Servers NewYork.

[=peg=]

Good stuff Monty!

[Polarite]

Just so the admins can keep track of changes to the server I've put a very basic and as yet unfinished page here. It's not great, was very rushed (so that we could at least have something to show) but it was better than nothing and hopefully, when it is complete, it will help players get to know what is available, get any files they may need for the other ports (Painkeep, or RQuake Map Packs for example), and get playing ....hopefully

All the admins are welcome to have access, just contact me through the usual channels

Kind regards

Monty

Good job Monty , just what we needed.

FFANY(newyork.servequake.com:26000) is also ffany.quakeone.com official dns for that server.

@both: as always I'm happy to help if I can, and it keeps a certain individual out of what's left of my hair
I've updated the little Webby with the FFANY connection DNS

Also, I'm looking for a copy of the BDA mod. Lefty emailed it to me years ago but I can't seem to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me to a working copy of the Beatdown Alley mod I would be grateful. I keep trying to catch Dolemite on Shmack but he's proving elusive

Lastly, I'm getting some requests for custom maps (for example wworld01 which I'll add to the server) So I'll see if this is a possibility. In principle it should be as the mod is based on RuneQuake but re-compiling has been a bit of an error prone headache previously
@Pol/Peg: Unfortunately I'm at work at the moment else I would check this myself but does the FFA "Magic" work on this server? I only ask as this may give us a workaround for custom map voting if the source proves to be problematic.

Kind regards

Small update: wworld01 has been added to the server and we played it last night with a "new" player called Dogmeat. Good fun!

I did speak with Dolemite (concerning Beatdown Alley/BDA) who said he would have a trawl through his files and see what he could find.

I've also tried to PM Wicked Lord/Striker concerning his post here in the hope that he could contact lefty and get a copy of the mod to me. [Fingers crossed]

I did take a quick look at the code for the RQP source in the hope that we could introduce custom maps and map voting. Time was a bit limited of late and I couldnt find it but I'll see what I can find ASAP unless someone more familiar with coding Quake mods (cough, *Rook*, cough) might offer to help


Kind regards

Friendly USA vs EU @ NY servers?

[Mr.Burns]

There has been some talk of another FFA friendly tourney just nothing concrete in terms of dates yet. I suspect the usual crowd (Pol, Peg, Confy, [A]Stalker, etc) would probably attend, is there any interest from the guys and girls in the US?

Just for clarity, I'm not saying this has been organized or even that it will happen, I'm just canvassing for the level of support.

Kind regards

At what times do you/could you freq NY servers?

I assume there's a 7 hour time difference or so...

if you guys are tooling around noon your time and 7am around my time or henceforth, i could tango...

[Mr.Burns]

Hi Rook

As I recall the last tourneys were kicked off around 8 or 9 pm GMT so that would probably be just after lunch to mid afternoon California time (PST?). There's usually at least one person (me/Pol [all hail]) Camming the action and another (=peg=) admining to make sure it all goes smoothly. As the formula has worked so well up to now I imagine the next one will follow suit.

Kind regards

Monty

[Mr.Burns]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the guys that turned up tonight to test some options for me on the New York server. So to Pol, Peg, Sir henry (sans ch�vre), Jer, Dude, Xeno (even with his 150+ ping ), Confy and anyone else i may have missed, many thanks for your time and patience.

Kind regards

Monty

ArenaX Map Request

Just a quick note to Mindzy and I think it was JBone (?) to let you know that the arenax.bsp map you wanted has now been added to the server behind the scenes. I'm not sure the RA mod on 04 needs any sort of update and/or recompile to make it aware of th map but at least the file is on the server in the right location. If you could give it a quick test and let me know how it turns out I would appreciate it.

Kind regards

Monty

Good work polcat

[Mr.Burns]

As some of you will have noticed we were recently suffering with a few ping ssues on the New York servers. This was due to the activities of the host and I'm therefore happy to report that after some considerable work from Polarite (all hail ) the New York servers are all back up and working on a fresh new shiny host.

After testing it with Polarite the other night the ping actually seems better but if you have any further issues please let us know.
Port 26010 is currently running the Deadzone2 WIP mod but as soon as we either get BDA through from Dolemite, or the updated version of RQP from IEEE we'll rotate the mods so that they all get there fair share of time in the sun

Well done Pol!

Kind regards

Monty
