island55's Servers
« on: March 26, 2011, 09:54:53 PM »
island55 has been kind enough to donate some servers:

208.100.42.52:27910 Chicago Illinois (US)
89.149.242.101:27910 Frankfurt Germany
87.117.203.203:27910 London

What maps, settings, and such would you like to see on those servers?

Set one up with airaccel off and g_autofire 0,  and fill it full of barrels/speedball maps. Only 3 people will ever play it, but it might be a nice experiment.

I would like to see some older maps without the ice-jump parts.

And of course, enable guntemp :)


Btw, they (and the ev1 servers) run with b31 instead of b32.

Well, I'd prefer the Chicago one to be a faster revive (30 seconds) server, with relatively simple maps (Shock - Kalcastle - I can list more later if you decide to listen to me)... and obviously no guntemp. No maps where you have to pick up anything.

When people run Pubs like that,  (Superman's / SeXy's etc..) they draw the most attention from new players, and they are usually more fun then a regular pub. Most of the American pubs get empty fast because of bad map rotations. A pub does not need to be 60s revive, just like in most games, Pub's spawn faster then Matches. (Although, no-revive in matches would probably be better anyways) --- But that's besides the point ----> Faster revive, simple maps, is what draws attention from new players, and when a pub has attention and always has people in it, older players actually pub.

Euro ones you can try different stuff probably, since OTB does have a good, active Speed server, as well as a Public server that have good maps, revives etc... So they are probably more available for putting older maps and stuff, but keep in mind, old maps wont draw much attention, finding ammo isn't enjoyable in a pub, and confusing maps aren't either (which is why a lot of ice maps or larger matchmaps shouldn't be in pubs).

I completely agree. As for the euro server there are a lot of the older and newer maps that are pretty cool but don't get played. If we could introduce or reintroduce these maps into the game it would be great, the same old maps over and over again get boring.

It keeps people from lining for very long -- forces them to use some skill.

the euro server can be a match server :)
The otb's are most of the time full... and ic3y server's too. So, it would be nice, if there is a server more.

I can set them up so you can use the "match" command when they're empty - let them be both pub and match servers.

Yeah, if I ever got that done, I'd use it on those servers.  Lots of other things to do, though. :-\

Actually, that might just be a case of applying some e-pliers to sk89q's server reservation script so that it stores each request as a vote and tots them up/applies settings as a cron job at the end of the week.

I'd like newer more nice looking maps without much speed which, is very limited but, I think we need a server with newer maps.
