1.00 Server?

Soylent_green · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">any one interested/willing to set it up?</div> The oldest server I can find is 1.02.

I've got a dynamic IP address and I cannot put up a dedicated server and join it from another machine on a lan(only one PC here) or I would.

Is there any kind person out there who would keep a NS 1.0 server up for the remaining time until the realease? preferably featuring no stuck plugin to get that old nostalgic "omg I'm stuck in teh ******* wall"-feeling with fades etc?

Is anyone except me at all interested in playing ns 1.0 for the sake of nostalgia seeing as how it is probably the last chance to see ns 1.0 for those who haven't and a nostalgia trip for those who have?

If no one shows any interest there is, of course, no need for anyone to setup such a server. comments?

edit: "ns 1.00 the bad old days" might be an appropiate name for such a server <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Hello I'm awake now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>. In non-dedicated I have no trouble starting a server either but hey that isn't too fun for anyone but me...

I'm having problem hostings, you try and host one.

I'm going to put up dedicated server later since I have some light(computer usage wise) work to do(bugger!) and I want to have it done quickly so I can play 2.0 till my eyes hurt after it is realeased. I need to get some kind of server restart plugin/program(uses metamod?) and at least figure out some of the admin commands(like how to make a message from the server operator appear on the screen for all players. The server will probably use CD becuase CD is teh r0xorz.

Since I know sod all about administring a server and configuring plugins and welcome messages that might take an hour or 2 I guess. I have a 10 Mbps connection(but I live in Sweden so your ping might still be shot to hell if your in the US...). My PC is a 2.4 GHz p4C which seems to easily overclock to 3 GHz(very stable but I have no reason to keep it at that speed because no programs I use need it or benefit that much). It is currently set to 2.4 GHz. Memory is 512 MB dual channel DDR400. If I set the priority of the dedicated server to high or the priority of my work to low(mainly light matlab/text editor stuff) I think I can pull it of without to many hickups.

Right know I am going to squeeze in a few hours of non-dedicated server time so I get to play a few rounds. Going to try to get a server up and running first since you had trouble with that. Then I'm going to shutdown, post my IP and restart it and see if any people would like to join.

Please note that while 1.00 will give "true" nostalgic value for that grand Halloween night, 1.01 fixed much of the lag that discouraged people from playing at first. If you're getting server performance problems, you might want to try at least bumping up to 1.01 (if you can find that server-side patch anywhere)

Soylent_green · July 2003

righto, seems fine. 14 person(it seems to be unbalanced in favour of the marines allready, even more so on with more players, I'll be glad to see even 2-3 players join seeing as how the server is not going to be dedicated while I am playing :/) non-dedicated server namned "NS 1.0 the bad old days". Turrets don't stop firing when a TF goes down so I guess you can expect über-spam of turrets.

My ip is currently 213.114.195.157 , I newer bothered to check but I think it is changed only when I restart my computer(I know it is replaced by some other IP by the form 213.xxx.xxx.xxx(maybe even 213.114.xxx.xxx) something EVERY time I restart my computer).

I have am not running CD because I need to install the server side CD version and metamod etc. I will not bother with this know, so you will have to trust my "elite"(*cough*)admin skills in spoting cheaters <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> while the server is non-dedicated. Server should be up and running in 2 min tops.

marik I have the 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 and 1.05 unoficial server side patches as well as ns 1.0 installer lying around in a backup folder. I never played 1.0 or 1.01 so I can not comment on server side performance but thank you for your advice I will use 1.01 if I have performance problems.

Soylent_green · July 2003

no one wants to play on an undedicated server... a well, I guess I didn't pimp out my server enough(never could stand people who do that). Anyway,

I'm going to give it a try setting up admin mod, cheating death and an automatic server restart plugin on an undedicated server with 1.0. That should(hopefully) get more attention. Maybe if I should pimp it out just a little in general discussion if I get it up and running smoothly?

edit: I now have a new found understanding of what makes maps look good. I ran around inspecting Nancy, it has horrid texture work, really just plain awful in places. But it does have interesting geometry, a large number of different textures and beautiful lighting... What a pitty that I can't get away with just making a map with horrid texture work like nancy and ignore all the lights and neat bakground sound and flow of the map and gameplay etc <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>.

I tried to get Epoch from "The Doom Brigade" now sadly R.I.P to make his server 1.0

Alas it never happened.

I can't help with the server but I would definately like to give 1.0 (or 1.1) a shot.

I now have a dedicated server up and runing called "NS 1.00 the bad old days(CD4.1-required)", IP is 213.114.195.157.

I don't own 2 copies of half-life so I can't connect to my server from the maching running the dedicated server to test if CD is running correctly in required mode for CD 4.1 but I think it should. I cannot test if the motd.txt or cheating death is required on this server message is working either or if the "log on" to log commands to the console is working in the way I think it does unless someone joins. If anything is the matter you can post in this thread or try to tell me by saying it to me in game(it should turn up in my console).

1.00 Server?
