gmdm2

well, thanks to bewbies we have a dedicated server for gmdm2... so why don't we use it?? :biggrin:

we should organise regular gmdm2 games. starting ... NOW! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Maybe because its a Lan server. Lan restrictions are to local class (C).

brraaawrg! every time i restart it, theres a chance that my lan card takes priority... btw im about to make it a HLDM server with all the competition maps =P

[EDIT] eerrg... i only have like 2 of the competition maps lol

can i get some links to all of them?

it's not a lan server you @#$^*

i connected to it before, but only by following gollum in steam (right click on his name, join game) but i cant connect to it ..... ip 61.81.84.181:27015

by the way bewbies, a koala is not a bear :razz:

I tried to add the server at different times over the last couple of days and it didn't show up. What's it called?

And when I try to connect to steam servers (I don't have steam) it gives me the LAN error.

Er....I imagine you need to have Steam to connect to a Steam server.

i'm going in for a bit of exercise.. anyone else???

servers up :biggrin:

I'd go, but my internet comp is s**tty and bearly runs HL. My good comp isnt on the internet.

And I havent played online in forever either, all this new stuff I dont have a clue. Including steam. I should really start reading up on this stuff someday.

I've just cleared out a few gigs on my HD and am downloading steam. Grr I never play DM but I want to play gmdm2

Estimated time left: 3hr 21min | 121MB of 723MB copied

:eek: why the hell is steam that big... err... what is it really?

its kinda nice once its installed.

it crosses many programs into one.

its like ICQ and Gamespy, and a bit of won thrown in..

you can talk ingame to people outside, and vice versa..

It's been a bitch to my C (windows) drive though. The D/L keeps leeching space off C and I have to keep moving/uninstalling files from drive to drive and cleaning them up too.

W3 Schools joke

The reason why it is so big is that instead of operating off of your current HL installation, it copies all your game files and archives them into steam content files. you can choose to let it delete all your old HL stuf afterwards, thereby saveing discspace, but DON'T DO IT.

/me hops into server for a few minutes exercise..

servers UP!!!

yeah i've connected twice now... it definately works. though i haven't connected through steam servers or through ip, i just connected by following gollum or kornflakes ... everyone, it's great fun. play it! :biggrin: btw if you're used to winning (like me) then be prepared for gollum ownage!!!!!! he rules at gmdm2

I've only gotten into the server once. it's usualy been "not responding" when I've hopped on steam to have a go.

Apparently my client.dll differs from the server's and refuses connection. Haven't tried any other DM serves yet.

EDIT: works fine on another server

errr... you DO have gmdm2 ?

Oh, I see. Maybe you've been trying to download the map from the server. Well, don't do that, as it's actually a complete mod. Download it separately.

No I've downloaded the MOD and tried to join via steam. Am I meant to do something to make it load the gmdm2 mod instead?

Well it should appear on the "third party games" section, underneath all the official games. If not, you've installed it in the wrong place and Half-Life will not be able to find the mod dlls when it tries to connect to the server.

I got the option of installing gmdm2 when I installed steam (I had it before I changed) and I ticked the box. In the games list it has the mods there and Dedicated Server at the bottom (what's that one?) I can't see and third part games section.
By the way, I'm new to steam.

If you don't see any third party games, then the mod is not installed. The only mods you'll see listed are official valve mods. Move the gmdm2 mod folder over to the steam location. C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\name@site.com\half-life and toss the gmdm2 folder in there. Steam doesn't copy mods/files over correctly, for some unknown reason. It woulda saved Valve a LOT of bandwith if it did, since tons of people had to redl CS and TFC and such completely.

Thanks Cash, that's fixed it.

will the server be running the competition maps soon ?

I kept saying i would, but then the server stopped having problems with gmdm2. It hasnt crashed in over 2 days! Though, I'll leave it up to you guys.. maybe we could have a poll? I'm a very big believer in democracy =P

HAs the IP changed or somthing? I can never find it.

IP:

64.81.84.181:27015

Er, you can probably guess my vote :biggrin: But playing the comp. maps would be cool too.

depending on the rotations speeds, why not leave GMDM2 and add the comp maps as well?

The Gmdm2 mod. may unbalance other people's maps - things like double-value healthkits and extra ammo in the guns (as well as doubled ARgrenades and 5*gauss ammo).
