mapping contest server

 Hey all. I have been running around a few of the contest entries and I am very impressed. This caliber of maps has been thin of late. I am therefor re-offering to use my server as a host to preview these maps if you should so desire. I will make a snarkpit friendly password and a custom motd with updates . Lemme know what you decide. It would be my pleasure.

Why passworded?  The more players the better, as I'm sure DocRock would agree.  :biggrin:

i would consider playing myself if..

1) it was open to the public..

2) downloads were turned OFF, with a suitable link to the maps..

3) if i were allowed to play :smile:

juim, your offer is a noble contribution..

Yah all that is good. No password, no downloads, and a huge finger pointing to maps in motd. I would also post them(the maps) at the diner should the authors have no problems with it.

I hope this goes through. Though when I tried talking to you you couldnt hear my voice comm :/

Is your server Steam only, or do you have a steam and a WON server?

cuz I don't think some of the fellas here have converted over to Steam yet...

[edit] hmm seems doc posted my question while i was typing.. still i am interested in knowing..

 

i hesitate but have to ask, do we have to have steam installed to frag now online?

i have as yet, not done so, its downloaded, but waiting for me to make copies of all vital info (wads and such)

if i have to install steam, i may decide to not show.. unless its like Saturday night, then i will have had time.. but today is already ear marked for other tasks, i will not have time..

/me hopes playing is not dependant on steam, yet...

I hope its a WON server as I doubt i'll update to Steam unless its on a magazine cover CD some time soon. A file that size would take me at least a week to d/l :sad:

Alas, but I have converted to steam. It's inevitable that all will have to sooner or later. I can't even play on won servers anymore as steam converted and overwrote all my Sierra directory listings. I realise this may cost me tha ball game.

On a more positive note, steam is quite stable lately so since your gonna have to why not go ahead and get it now?. I suppose I could keep a copy of Sierra based half life on my second hd, but what a chore!!!

bleh, keep it to steam juim m8.

I can run it on my server...it's still WON....

offer remains....

 

 

If you guys want to run something that would be great, I can put something up on the front page... I'm really busy revising for a big exam next week (oh what a time to end a map competition!) so don't really have the time to do much more :/

sounds great! it'll be fun to see all the comp maps. Plus I've never fragged with anyone at SP before :smile:

I installed Steam, and can still use WON as well. I figured out how to get it to be able to use both.

Im not to keen on switching to steam, because if I use steam-only it makes it very difficult to set up the resource paths for mapping, and also now that valve has been hacked I'm not too keen on using their new stuff until they get it all sorted out.

If you have the HD space, steam lets you choose to keep your original HL installation...

does it cos it never asked me It also never asked me to put a cdkey in
