Snark Pit Server

I'm going to make a server dedicated to Snarkpit Maps. A little continuation of Orpheous's "favorite map" idea. Shoot me a map request and we'll make a custom map server. Currently its running fairytale b1 but if you guys want something else, just post it.

Ooh, maybe at the end we can play all the competition maps together or something. :smile:

EDIT: omfg ferret h4x

just cause I rocked you

HLDM?

Yea, let's load up the "white box map" and see how fast a riot can occur

yeah its for HLDM

man, i wish i could run steam and aol at the same time, cause this looks cool

For the moment, why don't you run only some of the best snarkpit HL maps?

Torrent and some of the others form the old "contrasts" comp spring to mind.

thats what I had in mind tracer. YOu guys tell me what maps to load and I'll make them cycle.

Broken Palace.

Apotheosis (gmdm2)

One of Adam's concept art maps, either dm_rampart or dm_osiris, would be nice. Perhaps Jeff's castle map too, would be good to see how it plays as I think it should be good fun.

rightio I'll upload them. Maybe there is a way we can coridnate playing sessions? Its a 10 person server hosted on cable so its not great but its something before I go back to school and get a t1 line.

I tried to join but it said I needed dm_fairytale's wad.

Did you download the map from the map's thread?

I think Apothesis requires a special GMDM2 mod that has SoHL enabled. Which means we probably can't play it?... :sad:

Not on an HLDM server, nope.

I stole a new computer for the server to be on. It'll be upgraded to a pentium 3 with hopefuly 512+ of ram. This'll give the server a boost in power. Plus it'll be soley dedicated to running snarkpit maps and nothing else will utilize the computer's power. So wait for that, maybe a week. I'll get the maps uploaded. It would help me if you put down the map d/l link with the map name so I dont have to go searching and wasting my time when I can be finishing my snarkpit comp entry :razz:

You must live very close to me Ferret. I'm getting a server ping of 50-60!

Looks like you, me, and Crono will be kicking ass, particularly when it comes to our european bretheren. :biggrin:

Ok we are getting a definent Snarkpit server.

It'll be athlon 1.4ghz 512mb ram Gf 256 with much higher upload and download speeds for you guys in all areas. (my cable wasn't doing it was it? LoL) 60-80k/s 3mbit/800kbit

is that good?

Nobodies gonna play on your server IF YOU DON"T INCLUDE THE WAD!! ARGH!

rant

Yeah, we could all play Thursday nights or something. We could get a regular HLDM clan going :smile:
I guess I should get to work on a real map since it'd have a place to be played. Also, you left off Broken Palace!

How are people who don't go to the Snarkpit supposed to join the server...?

there doesn't seem to be a dl for it there. Maybe he took it down?

http://ferret.hl-nightwatch.net/dm_fairytalesb1.zip

To teh snarkpit clan!

pst! Need anything hosted jsut give me a call!/pm!

the map dl was never taken down from the thread.

cmon guys, use your heads.

Am I blind? I really don't see it there, unless you have the link buried in the thread somewhere.

yes, you have to read the thread for the release information.

ok by "read the thread" you guys meant the map thread. I gotcha now, I thought you were referring to this thread.

Would this server be available for some competition map playtesting, by any chance? Or anyone else have a decent, fast server we can use? :smile:

Woot, we (CJ, Reno, Ferret, Gwil, Ding) had a little playtest on
Persia, Fairytales, and Flatshaded. Much fun was had. Except Persia,
because it sucks. But the other two had a lot of hectic fragging and
stuff. :smile:

I'd like to play, but I'd have to download Steam.

If you have broadband then you can get steam fully downloaded and setup in a few hours. Just download the installer, start it running, bugger off and do something else. Come back half an hour later and start it downloading the games you want, then bugger off and come back again later. Easy :smile: You know you want to get in on the official playtest whenever that happens...

I think cass' problem is he doesn't really like steam. (he hates it, in fact)

isn't it ?

Just saw the list of competition maps... very nice stuff! I wish I could have participated in this one, but I'm just too busy being unemployed right now. I would really love to play these with the snarkpitters.

what, when, where is the server?

Ferret has a server up at this IP...

24.21.243.144:27015

It runs, I believe, dm_fairytale as standard but also has flatshaded and persian letters on it at least. Monqui was also trying to get a server setup to run the contest maps, but the details of that haven't been released as of yet...

Yeah, my SSH thingymawatchie is being a total whore and not wanting to let me upload some file from CJ's map...

But once I get that worked out it should be ready to go.

Err... One has to wonder why my map is causing all these problems... :razz:

The ZIP file has it's own \persia\ directory for some reason. You'll have to open that and extract the 5-6 folders to \valve\.

If you have broadband then you can get steam fully downloaded and setup in a few hours.

That's odd... I don't know where you get your time estimates, but I have broadband and yesterday I downloaded/installed steam + DLed/started playing HL, all within a time period of 10 minutes at the most...

I think it actually must copy over some of your old HL files that you have from your cd installation...

Oh right yeah, I didn't have HL installed at the time, so I had to download everything from scratch.

It's the mbken_bowls_jugs.txt file in the models folder- it's 0b, and apparently my SSH prog goes into an infinite loop when it hits that and never finishes that one file. And the program is a bit of a piece, since it won't let me just cancel one file, it cancels the entire queue. I think I have it all worked out, though, and I'll upload all of the other files once I get off of work.

I will get some kind of plugin into the mod to get it to have map voting and I will install all the contest maps tonight around 6 PM PST. SOrry for the delay but I got held up at work yesterday.

Uh, that's 2am GMT isn't it? We need some East Coast servers going, yo

The server will be an Eastcoast server at the end of august or early september as well as change to a faster connection.
