24/7 Server Status Updates

[Atariangamer]

Good deal! So we're actually going with an Ubuntu rig this time, no WinServer'03?

[brain candy]

Yep, that's the plan! Hopefully Ubuntu will be nice to us. Since I did a Mumble server in WinServ3k I've got my mind wrapped around the process a bit more and can recreate it in Ubuntu. Skulltag was also pretty straightforward since I had managed to get it running in Ubuntu during our very early beta testing. The only snag I can see is remote access. Supposedly, it's easy, but we'll see.

Sweetness, we get remote access to a Linux build this time! I'm pumped.

[brain candy]

Me too! I'm downloading the new Ubuntu right now. I already installed Netbook Remix on my Sony yesterday.... tis sweet.

I'm a bit behind though because my Mom sprung a trip to Houston on me at the last minute and needs a house and pet sitter while she's away. I'm not in school and am not working yet, so that responsibility defaults to me. I'm thinking the new semi-launch date for the server itself is Monday or Tuesday. Sorry guys. 

At least we've got this awesome community of willing hosters that set up fun matches. I figure I can supplement them a bit with this 24/7 thing.

Edit: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is up and running, the router and firewall are all set to go, and I have Mumble up as well. Need to set Mumble/Murmur up all pretty-like before I can allow public access though. I'm leaving for the weekend, unfortunately, but I'll be back on Sunday or Monday to get the rest done. Catch y'all then.

EDIT (as of 5/22/10): The 24/7 server is now up and running. -CC

err to whoever is incharge of this joint can we get the skins, CQ arena, and the lounge added as pwads? (and possibly Chex quest 3 as a custom I wad?)

[Atariangamer]

We've been looking at ways to get files to addon...the dedicated server package is being stubborn.

I could help out by making a server whenever I am at my Dad's. 

[brain candy]

The server will be offline until the middle of August.

Not sure how well used it was, but the 24/7 CQU server is going down for at least 3 weeks. It will be back up in a new city, with a more reliable connection, and with Mumble enabled.

bummer, I just downloaded everything.

I can host games after 9 PM pretty much anytime if I'm not busy/in class, let me know if you're interested

It's going to be down for a while. We're still moving in and do not have any internet yet. My furniture doesn't arrive until the middle of October.

How's the move coming, BC?

any updates on the server?

[brain candy]

Hey 75, sorry for the lack of updates. 

My move southward has left a lot of my equipment split between my apartment and my parent's storage. I'm hoping to collect all my things and find a proper table to put the computer up on sometime soon. I'm very eager to start back up again and if I have time, I may try and boot the sucker tonight in a temporary location.

I will have to redo a lot of our settings in the router because I switched providers and Uverse uses this joke of a router/wireless access point combo made by 2wire. It offers practically no options for port forwarding and QoS. I set it up so that I could put my personal router back on the network and have it be the access point, but in the process had to put it out in a DMZ zone and pass packets over the WAN port on the 2wire. I don't know if this will bottleneck things yet, so I'll definitely need y'all for a test run. Also, I'm curious if AT&T makes a fuss of it.

I've been seeing that you've been hosting a ton of games in the meantime. That is so awesome of you... I know everyone really appreciates it.

I'll be sure to make an effort to keep everyone up to date.

It's been fun 

I can't host very often or for very long, and sometimes it lags, but it's a good way to test my mod and have a bit of fun

Your servers are pretty fun indeed. Will there be a 24/7 server for your mod eventually?
