Organizing PC Game Competitions Among PF Members

[Dissident Dan]

We can play 2k4 at 7:30 and the original at 9:00 on Thursday, if that's all right with everyone. Maybe in 2k4 we can play Bombing Run (sort of like a sport) or Onslaught (sort of Battlefield-ish with different control points that you have to capture). In the original UT, we can play DM or Team DM.

::Note, it's the UT2k4 demo, not the full version::

The times listed are Eastern. I hope that no one was confused.

I have made an AIM chat room: DanUT

P.S. - Make sure that your Unreal Tournament (original) is patched to version 4.36.

If everyone uses his PF name in the games, that would good.

Here are some servers that I looked up for the UT2k4 demo:
Onslaught
66.7.164.198 (GibGames.com Dalls)
69.93.199.58 (DgS ServerForRent)

Bombing Run
69.25.21.14 (Atari/Epic Offical East 48)

Team DM
69.25.21.13
24.215.99.19

If no one has any objections, we'll play onslaught on the first server I listed [66.7.164.198 (GibGames.com Dalls)].

 

[jimmy p]

So, who won then?

 

[motai]

Bah, stupid AIM. Cant find my way around to DanUT chat room... and the match is starting. Not sure which server everyone else is on.

 

[Dissident Dan]

=me]We're playing UT assault on this server:

113 0 65.39.207.71 7777 [PURE] | StdAS | n AS-Deser assault 7 of 16

Scratch that. It's a custom map.

 

[motai]

Holy cow AS-Deser is 10 megs! Ill be there but itll take me a while...

 

[Dissident Dan]

New server: Team Deathmatch:

109 0 64.237.35.193 7777 [CSHP] +MF+ R'uusta DM-Agony teamgame 0 of 8

Nevermind, just go to the assault server.

 

[motai]

Gahh I am doomed to forever downloading components like that blasted "SkeletalChars" which is some 1.5 megs long. Finally got to the Team Deathmatch only to find it empty

 

[motai]

Blegh. I give up. Everytime I try to log on I am stuck with having to download a huge map file (which never completes and I have to reset it) or SkeletalChars (what in the world does this file do anyway?). Catch me later when there is a regular server with standard maps and mutators.

 

[iansmith]

I am finding not the sever, the server is empty or the server has people but nobody from pf. We have to find an easier way to play. Does anybody has gamspy arcade? That migth be the way.

 

[Dissident Dan]

We'll try again some other time.

 

[The_Professional]

I've played an hour or two ago but I didn't recognize any familiar usernames nor did anyone respond when I said hello, assuming that there is someone from PF playing.

 

[Ebolamonk3y]

Why dun you get a paid server for PF players? :) Or have someone run dedicated server on a fast connection at a unversity or somethign?

 

[dduardo]

Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. If anyone is interested I'm going to setup an Enemy Territory or UT2004 server on my linux box. Tell me which game you want to play and I'll set something up. I want to test the server at 6:00pm eastern and start the official game around 7:00-7:30pm.

Server Specs:

Gentoo Linux 2004.1
Athlon XP 2600
512MB DDR 2700
7200 RPM Segate
1.5MB DSL

 

[dduardo]

If anyone is interested I'm starting up Enemy Territory

ip: 209.42.34.118
password: physicsforums

 

[dduardo]

If you can't get on, don't worry, I'm trying to get etpro to work. It will be up very soon

 

[dduardo]

Please make sure you have the lastest Punkbuster Installed:

[Dissident Dan]

Thanks-a-million for setting up a server. ET rocks.
