UT2k3 DEMO server

[CADsortaGUY]

Incase you only have the DEMO you can just dial in the mysterymachine.hn.org:7000 server and get your frag on.

Let me know of any problems with the server or the settings and I'll try to get it worked out. This is the first time i've setup a game server so I'm not 100% sure I have everything right. Mech and I were playing a bit last night and it seemed to be fine though.

Sweet!

 

[mechBgon]

Woohooo! Must... try!

 

[RaySun2Be]

220 Ping, slightly laggy at times. The only weird thing was that I couldn't jump. At least not very high.

It was fun though.

The really really weird thing is I actually won a couple of games. :Q

 

[dmcowen674]

Works great CKG. I was actually able to get Tom once

 

[ViRGE]

Ok, what am I doing wrong here? What do I need to type in the console to open a connection?

 

[mechBgon]

ViRGE, type

mysterymachine.hn.org:7000

and press Enter, it should hook up (unless the server's down)

That was fun and very challenging... I was getting smacked down all over the place, although I did manage to get up on top of a rock and persecute people with the Lightning Gun a couple times Outdoor map + no translocator = lots of mechBgon gibs scattered about

"open mysterymachine.hn.org:7000" (without the quotes)

Yeah - Mech was kickin our @ss from above a few times

Anyone know how to get this server to quit doing this:
"Sending GAmeSpy heartbeat: \heartbeat\7010\gamename\ut2d"
it reports that over and over ane over - Can I get it to stop? It isn't a "listed" server.

Thanks,
CkG

*cries* /me doesn't have UT2k3 yet

 

[mechBgon]

This is the free demo, so you can download it (assuming you have enough bandwidth to download a 100Mb demo).

Ah, so that's the secret to it.

So CADkindaGUY, what would it take to make sure the translocator stays off your server?

<------OGWEG

 

[mechBgon]

Haha, you'll be wishing Translocator was enabled, the first time I snipe you from on top of a rock and you can't come up and get me *hugs useful Shield Gun*

(oh, and I'm sure CKG would accept most common forms of payment, such as WUs or DPs )

In the UT2003.ini file, you will probably have to add the following lines:

[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]
DoUplink=False
UplinkToGamespy=False
SendStats=True
ServerBehindNAT=False
DoLANBroadcast=True

Or if that section is there, then edit it to be that. This will stop it talking to the master server, won't advertise it across the net, but will allow you to see it from your end (on the LAN).

Edit: Remeber that [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] is different to [IpDrv.MasterServerUplink] It took me a few mins to realise that after looking on the UT2003 forums


This is how i've got my retail server set up

[CADsortaGUY]

Thanks Confused!

I read through their site and forums and thought I got most of it but it was a tad confusing since I'm a noobie

Thanks

Didn't seem to help ya much last night.

...said the guy with the 100ms ping advantage That does it, I demand a recount!

Says who?

Sure, blame it on the ping.

When I checked it was 220 ping for me, 260 for you, pretty close if ya ask me.

(I'll take what I can get, and run with it.... )



BTW, is the server down? I can't seem to connect.

 

[mechBgon]

No, I was playing just now (and having my gibs distributed in fascinating patterns all over the map!)

 

[RaySun2Be]

Did CKG up the difficulty level of the bots today, or did I suddenly become terrible? maybe it was bad lag, but I couldn't kill a bot to save my soul tonight.

 

[CADsortaGUY]

I don't seem to be able to "set" a certain level for the bots - everytime i change the setting it goes back to "novice" so to compensate i had the "adjust bot strength" setting turned on.

Yeah - I got my ass handed to me by the bots quite a bit today. Mech must be playing too much

CkG

 

[mechBgon]

They were roughing me up too They play pretty smart and I'm pretty lame without my precious Translocator. The non-level terrain makes the Rocket Launcher a double-edged sword, too... I do a lot of splash damage to ME, trying to knock down opponents who are circling me on the rolling surface.

The bots also have magical, superhuman knowledge of where the other bots or human players are, no matter how far away. The bot can be at the far side of the map, and if there's a direct line of sight, the bot will usually open fire unless there's a closer target. Wish I had that kind of prescience

I did discover that a properly-timed elevator jump theoretically saves me one of the two Shield-Gun jumps needed to get on top of the rock pillar to snipe. Theoretically, because with a ping of ~200-260, I usually have to take several tries, by which time I've been discovered by some of the WonderBots Ah well, practice makes perfect...

 

[Confused]

CKG,

If you're configuring via WebAdmin, the list box will go back to Novice when you've set it, even tho it is set at whatever you've actually changed it to

I had to find that out the hard way too!

Will definately have to try up against mech without the Translocator, i was doing pretty darn well at the weekend against him...and i wasn't using the TL, and he was!

One thing everyone might like changed is the "Weapons Stay" setting. Right now, when a person takes a weapon, it takes about 30 seconds to regenerate. This causes a "rich-get-richer, poor-get-poorer" situation.

I found that frustrating too - It'll be changed at noon (central time)

CkG

 

[CADsortaGUY]

Weapons are set to stay and the bots are "average"

I also threw a little "kink" into the map. Have fun - if the kink becomes annoying then I'll change it back tonight.

CkG

EDIT - nevermind - the "kink" doesn't stick. I tried to set it to "low-gravity" but i can't get it to take.

Frag on.
