Basic services running on the DGA server/s

DHCPd runnings a 192.168.2.0/23 subnet (not 100% sure till I get my hands on it)
DNS

So this machine should be setup correctly for when DGA gets its internet at some stage in the game.

Games:

BF2: With or without bots
POE2 (BF2 Mod) : <== This mod doesnt come with bots
The Hidden: Source
Halflife2 Deathmatch
CS:S
ET
UT2004
F.E.A.R - Fear combat is a free download, don't forget to signup to the website to get a key if you wish to play this.

Also note that I don't play half of these games and we have set them up to the best of our skill :p with that in mind CS:S is installed but because I don't play the game I have no idea how fusspot CS:S people like this game setup:p .

Cheers

Also a side note: not all of the games are going to be available at the same time, the server is only a 3500+ and the other is PIII 1.4Ghz

BF2 currently has all the 16player versions of the maps in the cycle with bots turned on. Im looking forward to checking out jalalalalbad at the dga.

POE has been setup and although it is a superb mod, it will likely be a rather lonely server without bots. :(

Sign up for a Free FEARCombat key here --> http://www.joinfear.com/main

Since it is nearly a 2gb download it has been downloaded and will be available at the DGA via FTP. Unfortunately we havent been able to get the awesome FEARcoop mod to work with the free release as of yet so there are no bots (unless someone can figure it out of course.)

Rumour has it that Lothar is working at getting a hl2stats server up and running for all you CSS players to compete on.

There has also been an IRC server set up for people to idle in :P .

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. If anyone knows of any good games that could prove popular with the masses (and has a dedicated linux server of course) be sure to post up some links to it and we (Rip :grin: ) will see what we can do...

Mat.

P3 1.4. Is that the G2. How did it go if it is and does it run fast enough?

Post 12

Yeah the install and everything went fine on the G2, should be fast enough for some of the games, not sure about BF2 POE but its a good test ;)

If the admins after this dga, or need a quick update of the servers during this dga of games remember I live about 1.3k from the Bridge club and have 10,000mb @1.5 Mbits/sec for use at home.
