Fuels/ lollerskates/sailsnows...whatever your name is...

Just take it on the chin that you got caught...once you start lieing there is no road back....repent and beg...beg...and beg again & you may get a soft admin that may give you one more chance. Keep denying man and your a tumble weed from site to site.

Thanks guys for your help.

R1ch,

Can you let me know what the best setup (connection) would be for a server where I would be able to keep a static ip addy.?? The server would be a dedicated server in the way that I will not be using the machine to do anything else other than Quake2, running 24hrs a day. How do all the other servers keep their I.P addys ?? Whatever it takes I will probably do, unless it was way too expensive.

This the part where I need an experienced admin to help & guide me.     

Bob.

Hi Toxic.

Yes mate, a WELSH server would be a good addition to my area, at the moment most of us Welsh players are playing on Fusters servers only because of the ping factor. I'm sure I could get a server well populated if I advertised it well.

Thanks for the info regarding NTL...yes I am with NTL receiving 10 megs but in the process of upgrading to 20megs.
Can you go a bit further in depth as to what would be the best setup (connection) for Q2 servers with the ability of the server running with no effort with say 15 players. Going back 10 yrs ago I used to play on a server that had half a meg pipe to the outside world and 15 of us used to play with no problems....remember the dial up connections...lol..lol how the world is changing and shrinking.
I know the game and maps inside out but to be able to setup and run a server is way beyond my dreams, Its easy when you know how....but i dont know how...lol..lol. One thing I can do and thats  do a basic config

QuazyWabbit

Thanks for the tips regarding  where to populate...I will also take into consideration your advise regarding letting an idiot run the server. The server will have nothing on it except windows & quake so it wont be difficult to keep an eye on who's running it.

Happy Friar.

"running the server is really really easy"  It sure is when you know how...lol..lol  its something I should have learned when I first started to play over 10 yrs ago, but never got round too. My problem is not setting up the server but all the mods that go with it, mod for this...mod for that It would just do my head in trying to figure it all out. 
I'm just hoping I can find the right guys who want to do some admin but dont have the server to do it with.

I'm sure glad I found this forum, it makes good reading with all issues regarding Quake....keep the good work going "Admin" your doing such a good job here maybe you can run a server for me too....lol

Thank you all for your advise, it is appreciated.

Bob.

Trouble Shooting / Wanted, Quake 2 server admins

« on: June 17, 2008, 11:29:43 AM »

Hi Guys.

My name is Bob and I have been playing Quake2 since year dot .
I have a top end machine that I wish to use as a q2 DM server & possibly a CTF server on the same machine. The problem is I don’t know how to admin q2 and I’m knocking on a bit in age which dont help when you cant retain as good as when you were much younger. (57) lol.. I’m looking for an experienced server admin that can have full control over my machine and really do as they please with it as long as the end result is Quake2. I’m not looking for someone to just set up the server but someone who will keep it running and promote the server as far a field as poss. I live in South Wales, UK and there are not many..if any, servers in my area so I wish to be able to draw as many local peeps as poss.
There would be no running costs to the admin so in effect they would have their own personal server for free.

I was wondering if you or anyone you can recommend, that would be able & want to do the job.?? Or even let me know where I can post the vacancy other than on this forum.
Maybe the Quake 2 admin can use this server for the benifit of its members.

Looking forward to your reply, 
Many thanks in advance,

Bob.
