How to add server to TastySpleen.net server list?

[Ciph]

Hi there! I just created a brand new Q2 Weapons of Destruction 6.08 Team DM server. How do I add this server to your "TastySpleen and Friends" server list?

Server IP: 67.222.138.12:27910

Thanks in advance.

Hi, what would be a good nickname for the server?

Possible examples:

  ciph-wod
  hardknocks

...or such?

Regards,

quadz

Hello,

The server name is:

Ciph's School of Hard Knocks (WoD 6.08 Team DM)

Do you need something shorter?

Hi,

Yes, our server list is set up to assume each server is reachable via the 'GOTO' command in our network.

So it will need some sort of compact nickname (no spaces) -- ideally something easy to type.

Such that if a player types (for example)

    goto hardknocks

or

    goto ciph-wod

or whatever the nickname is, they will be teleported to your server.

Players on any server in the network can also broadcast 'invites' to request other players come join their server (via GOTO.)

Example of some invites from this evening:

[2016-07-06 Wed 16:52:29] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! beav INVITES YOU TO GOTO MBRWZ - need 1 for 2v2
[2016-07-06 Wed 17:51:51] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! RAILINADER INVITES YOU TO GOTO RAILZ - railguns frenzy !
[2016-07-06 Wed 17:52:38] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! berraco INVITES YOU TO GOTO DM - cum get some newbie
[2016-07-06 Wed 17:55:19] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! beav INVITES YOU TO GOTO MBRWZ - mb.clan Railwarz.CTF.Chicago !
[2016-07-06 Wed 18:02:47] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! berraco INVITES YOU TO GOTO DM - come get some
[2016-07-06 Wed 18:11:16] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! Fatal[KiD] INVITES YOU TO GOTO MBRWZ - mb.clan Railwarz.CTF.Chicago !
[2016-07-06 Wed 18:16:29] WallFly[BZZZ]: YO! beav INVITES YOU TO GOTO MBRWZ - big games here join Railz CTF instaGib +hook


WallFly is our Q2 server bot (similar to an IRC bot.)

If you'd like to add WallFly to your server (which opens it up to invites and GOTO movement within the network) your server would need to be running the q2admin mod.

[ The q2admin version we use on our own servers is here: http://tastyspleen.net/~quake2/q2admin/ ]

Thanks for the info! Let's do "ciph-wod."

Currently, my server is running the r1ch.net enhanced server. Is that the same as Q2Admin? If not do you have a readme I can look through some documentation to set up, I didn't find one on that link you sent.

ciph-wod is added to the server list.

Q2Admin is a separate module. It gets installed as the gamei386.so (or gamex86.dll on windows) and then your real game module (wod in this case) is named gamei386.real.so (or gamex86.real.dll)

I'd recommend using our build, as it has some unreliable bot-check code turned off:

http://tastyspleen.net/~quake2/q2admin/

The .txt files there go in either baseq2 or in the game directory (e.g. weapons)

(In order for WallFly to function on your server it will need your rcon password. If you'd like to set that up, we should switch to private messaging. )

Hi quadz,

I sent you a PM, but I'd like to get WallFly set up on my server. Any help would be appreciated!

I could help out with that this weekend.

As a prerequisite, your server will need to be running q2admin (see earlier posts above for details.)

Hi there, bumping this. Q2Admin is running on the server, can you assist?

Yep! I'll follow up via PM.

Hi Quadz, I sent you a PM about adding maraakate.org to tastyspleen list with goto and wallfy.  I don't see it in "sent items"; so hopefully you received it.

I did indeed receive the message. Sounds good. I'll have time to set things up within the next few days.

Thanks for getting me added so quick and helping me test out the server.

I fixed the blue hyperblaster parse err_drop on R1Q2 clients btw.
