This sounds uterly amazing can't wait.
Need new sig, what a shame .
James and i just beta-tested, worked.
Need to edit the playlist a bit more, and we will open the beta
guys read my suggestion and tell me what u think about it?
its on page 8 on this thread. btw do the same thing what AlterIW does move TDM to the bottom or something so not as many people play TDM and also make Killcams work on Hardcore instead of entering a command to do it, cos some people dont know the command, also add myip into the console so it says your external ip and port saves people time getting the ip.
boo!! I fully support Archangel in this, and its easy to see it will be a success to at least start.
My suggestion for when it first launches is to somehow make it password protected so the servers aren't totally strained the week it goes out. Custom passwords for members of MPGH.net that they set themselves (they get added into a file perhaps that is checked by the server each start up...maybe in brackets before the name in the configuration file or it's own line if possible) and limit 2-3 accounts per IP, and an account may not be used concurrently on different computers. This way accounts may easy be linked back to MPGH (well IP would do the same thing..).
I know you can't sell access to it so my next best suggestion is to set a donation button and add a link to the client with your monthly donation goal (click to launch the default browser if possible) to cover server costs. Advertise that every dollar counts and I'm sure several will donate.
Good luck on your endeavor.
First, VIP option is really easy, just add IP or GTs in .gsc modding and we are good. Of course, we are going to need an impossible, private MPGH weird name, like ŃŃŃŃ or even IP if i can get that to work
Also, If you guys want i can chip in the first month payment
PS: Any un-official "release" date?
I completly support this! But one thing too consider is making some kind of anti cheat because otherwise it will be a hack fest and it would take forever to record all the hackers and such soo.. and no updates. Thanks for this though anyway i can help PM me.
Anyone who knows something about linux serverhosting, contact me
I'm contacting you. Would you like me to compile and set up a host on one of my dev box's running unbuntu for the match making server? Let me know Arch.
I was actually thinking about rewriting the match making server in python, that way it would only cost $3/month US to run the matchmaking server.
