    For some reason the .bat file stopped working, some dll file stopped working and the fmod file is messed up too so that I've got 3.2 working and 1.04 not working. What's also stranger is that all this caused because I created a shortcut on my desktop to the .bat file.

    What that all means is that I need to reinstall 1.04... bah...

    EDIT: Now I reinstall and it doesn't see the 1.04 server! Not only that but the link to natural selection on steam doesn't work, only the link to 1.04 for both games (depending on when i switch with the .bat file).

    oh yea, this problem happens fo some reason... go to ur half-life folder

    look for duplicate folders... like sometimes t heres an ns folder with nothing in it..
    like nsbackup or something. in total u should only have 2 ns folders, find the empty one delete it and run the .bat again

    Thanks, I'll try that out, it has been saying something about duplicate files but I thought it was just being a pain.

    I might be later. Should set a time. It's Father's Day, though, so I might not be here.

    Ahh... I played 3 matches.. the memories.. was great.
    Although I forgot we did not have a map, and the comm interface blatently blows, I forgot that to.

    I am surprised we won 3rd match, another of those lovely comebacks. We had a idiot who was double gorging. But after the rines wasted res on JP (and failing by lerks and OCs) we pulled out a win. (Ok I had to go, but there was no CC, no ip and one rine so... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)

    But to the serverhost.. can we PLS PLS enable friendly fire so skulks can atleast kill any idiot who either can't gorge or double gorges k txs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> I know this leaves open abuse to kill gorges who do there job, but still. (Or there was this plugin only allowing one gorge?)

    hehe.. this made me remember why it actually is correct that most 'vets' or better said players from that time are good. Comm was a ######, so if you could do it then, ya can do it now. Gorge was alot harder aswell, making pure gorge skill.

    haha.. I remembered gorges needing redemp so of course we got DC first and I grabbed redemp quite fast. Saves me a good amount of times. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    the server has moved onto a powerful processor, so hopefully less lag.

    Yeah I'd be interested in that, I'm planning to play right now if the server is still running. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    I played 1.04 last weekend for a few hours (maybe some recognize me). I also brought in 4-6 others at various times of day. I have to say that although 1.04 lacks a lot of lexuries the newer NS has (comm interface, minimaps), I think it's still worth playing.. almost like it's a different game in some ways.

    To the point... if people are interested, I can run a 24x7 1.04 server in texas. Due to the small number of people who would even consider playing 1.04, I don't think it should be 24x7, or if it is (doesn't matter to me), I doubt you'll be able to get enough people on it for an enjoyable game without first scheduling times to play.

    If anyone has ideas/suggestions on how to arrange these sorts of things let me know and I might be able to make them happen.

    Asmodee is that evo guy IIRC

    yeah, totally set that server up bra!

    we just need to fix commanding hotkeys, as that really hampers the rines

    [edit]
    I like no minimap, requires teamwork from comm to tell rines about structures under attack.
    [edit2]
    I can't wait to comm on bast with engine hive... Drop TF in corner of MS, upgrade it to seige, send rines into vent that you get into by taking elevator down and getting into vent when it's halfway down, have them buildseiges in vent next to engine, seige engine @ > 1:00. GFG

    oh and some comming on hera, with proc double hive siege lockdown relo =DDDDDDDDDD

    BTW, if you drop a chamber or oc, and build it you can take direct fire from multiple HMGs on said chamber without it dying

    Pity I missed this event. It'd be great if someone could set up another server, even if it was just for the weekends.

    Good news to some hopefully. All of these servers are hosted in Texas:

    NS v3.2 No Game Altering Plugins (except late join XP). Switches to classic after 9 players: 72.36.154.226

    NS v3.2 XMenu. Classic optional after 14 players: 72.36.154.227

    NS v3.2 Scrim server (usually put ze_marinebhop and remove the pass when not used for scrims): 72.36.154.228

    and now the one you've all been waiting for...

    NS v1.04 No plugins: 72.36.154.229

    Perhaps I'll setup an NS v2.01e at some point as well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />


    tbh I think that an NS v1.04 server should not be run for more than one weekend a month simply because of the small player base this would force people to show up the short time that it's up and thus ensuring there's enough people to actually play a few games. Additionally, I think the nostalgic factor will wear off if it's played too frequently and won't be as appealing.

    So unless there's a large number of people who say otherwise, I'm going to shut this server off on monday, but I will turn it on the first weekend of each month. To be more clear (hopefully), whatever weekend (fri/sat/sun) includes, or comes after the 1st of the month.

    Misfire if you intended to continue to run a v1.04 and I'm sort of invading your territory just let me know and I'll take mine down. You did it before me, and I see no point in having 2 competing servers.

    Quick question, where can I get the 1.04 server files?
  • That_Annoying_KidThat_Annoying_Kid Sire of Titles Join Date: 2003-03-01 Member: 14175Members, Constellation
    Asmodee, you should run /stuck for sure, and maybe try and find the "1.05"

    IE jp nerf, umbra spawn, etc.

    I'll try installing /stuck later, but it may be hard to find a version of amx compatible with it. We'll see.

    Btw I got my server files from brywright's site and he does have some older plugins and such, so there may be a chance.
