Games to be played

Ok people. This is a thread for a response, not by dicks, but by people who want to have a say.

I want you guys to name some games that you want to play in a comp stlye. Now I dont want 30 games from people as that is just stupid. What I want is 1 or 2 games from people who would like to play those games. I dont need explanation I just need a game name.

cheers

well i wouldnt mind a got at AOE

umm i get a max of 3-4 people on the server at 1 time...wow fun approx 80 people at the lan and i can get a max of 3-4 to play at one time.

Ok dont make this as a attack vorly I am using you post as an example.
On the GU servers what games do we have hosted?? CS .. BF42 .. And why, because every night people are cramed into the CS servers because they like to play them.

I know at DGA we try to accomadate, we had spero do a war3 tourny. that went well. We try to accomadate for what people want to play the most. There will always be those who want to play other games.

Quote:
How do i fix that? I can't because every new noob comming to the lan gets fed CS+BF1942

This again comes to the above post. Most of the DGA people that do attend play here. They are subjected to CS before they even reach DGA. Hell I give new games a try. VGA played q3 absoulutly hate the game but played it. Got my arse kicked but hey it happens.

Quote:
a different competition. Not a CS (like always), not a BF1942 comp (its the next CS...), but a comp with one fo the games stated above.

This may sound dumb but why change when people fill servers?? DGA or the FITS server at DGA16 was full up until 3am. Meaning people wanted to play the game.

Vorly I hope you dont take this as a attack as it was not ment to be like that at all. I was just using your post as an example of whys etc.

In upcoming DGA Lans, Echelon:Designs will be hosting a variety of games, including UT 2003, Jedi Knight 2, Ghost Recon, Quake 3 (undecided mod) and investigating the possibility of others.

i say up tha Q3 RA, that game fuckin rocks!!!

i dont like Q3 its self that much, but RA is uuba skanky

Yep
Me and Sparky are both up for Quake 3: Rocket Arena , and im sure Vorly will have no complaints there as well.

Don't want just plain Quake3 all that is is spray and kill, you need a game where some skill is used and Q3:RA is it. It's also very good for those 1vs 1 wars, that you have as competitions.

i love the compitions, soooo... i guess if someone makes a RA arena i guess i culd come to dga.

so please post if ya ganna put up a RA server. LOVE THAT GAME!

so are u comming to DGA 17 than timmmy?

Ok, will have a Q3:RA server up.

Warcraft 3.

I may put together a server box to provide an SF (Stellar Frontier) server aswell, perhaps with some duels.

However, I don't expect enough interest in the game to get a full comp going.

We have a RA and Q3 server running, (on linux) thoses two server are always running at DGA LANs.

Yeah I know Tn1, i was talking to Unseen a while ago and you know how you have the Quake 3 comps, well it would only make sense to make it a Rocket Arena comp, thats what the mod was intended for and it does work much better than just stand alone Quake 3. Rocket Arena is not harder it may need a little more skill but its certainly enjoyable for wars and stuff.

List bumped to 3rd page

yeah night i might come, check what im doing on that weekend.
also see if i can get my bloody graphics card drivers working :(

definately ut!!!!

hell i got sin and q2 on my machine lol... LEGACY LAN!

Go Quake2!

And, if anyone wants to give it a look, Stellar Frontier

Not a game with good graphics, but its got its own arcade-style charm.

Jay: Definately UT2k3 - the game rocks

i'd be up for some JK2, RA etc.

another few suggestions, although not many people would be that interested is: MOH:AA team battle. DoD. RtCW. they are all ok and it doesn't have to be a overly formal competition with a lot of clans playing. but all three games are good and popular alternatives to the norm.

also, as vorly suggested:

Serious Sam 2 is an awesome game and can be played with multiple cooperative players against others.

AvP2 would be soooooo coool. for the first ten rounds or whatever one clan is humans the other is aliens. after those rounds end it swaps :D :twisted:

mmmm yummy :)

Ok so far what I have read is a list of games that 2 or 3 people want to play .. So what about the other 70 or so at the LAN.

And so far I have not heard anything about comps?? Vorlys post was commenting on the comps? So you guys need to produce the numbers that back the games so that we know it is worth making a comp for these other games

i dont think we were asking for a comp unseen

and also its been said b4, not all 70 people are from GU, im sure others will relise how good RA is :D

btw im DLing drivers right now, so in bout 10 mins i'll know if i can come dga

half price for a noob :D

u aint a n00b arnt ya?
i swear u aint :)

Here are some old ones:

Death Rally
Outlaws. - old style fps with chickens that move and fly and explode when u shoot them.

Quote from Timmy:

Check the rego page for your answer !

id love to see an america's army comp at DGA and a black hawk down server running

If we do get some Ut 2k3 happening in a tournament situation....

i think it should be played in bombing run mode...

or even have a round robin tourney with different game modes each round...

is any-one willing to set this up... if not (I know i am gonna regret this) i will try and make some time and draw up a game sheet/map

is Q3 RA ganna be at DGA 17?

and are people going to have the latest patches, and the latest patchs for RA

i have the CD version, i jsut installed my bros version

so let me know please, coz if people do i gotta register soon

It'd be great seeing some tribes 2 being played...and an irc server would be cool

The FITS Server will be running.

CS
JK2
SOF2
Q3RA

So if you want to play these games, they will be dedicated under a Linux environment.

Quote from Timmy:

There has been a RA server running, for the last 6 LANs,

Quote from Daughter_of_Misery:

can i ask why you would like an IRC server ? or would ICQ be better ?

tn1.

i would say IRC, coz not everyones got ICQ

so will anyone have the RA file that i can steal them from?

also i palyed a Q3 mod ages ago called FreakBall, its rocks! like lacross but not.... anyone interested?

Quote from Timmy:

Have you even read the DGA FAQ page ?
most of the answer to your questions are on there,

DGA FAQ For you know who.... :x

hey Howie - Natural Selection is a must dude - I wanna see how 1337 your command skills are :P

Sounds good.

Done, i setup a dedicated server last night, just need testing now, and tweaking :)
NS should be at the next LAN.

hey you anus, what about the 2 bm-servers..... grrrrr

ok ok, bad ram is not good....

o sorry rain i aint never played on them servers before
u getting new ram for the servers?

new ram is gotten.

both bm-servers will be at DGA 17. one will serve CS, the other bf1942.
Edit-tn1.

damn i just came back from the shops and saw that... lol [rainwulf]

Can I borrow your time machine for more usful things? :)

So post up the game demands and we'll see what we can do in terms of extra serverage (provided the DGA gods accent this). Also my server box of the Echelon-Designs server farm will not be running any form of Counter-Strike in any incarnation.

Will have dedicated of any requested games - Echelon Designs

List so far: ! - assumed game wanted ; ? - Unsure on demand need opinion ; X - Other servers providing/not needed

- Soldat !
- Half-Life: Natural Selection !
- America's Army !
- IRC Server X
- Jedi Knight 2 X
- Tribes 2 ?
- Bridge Commander X
- UT2003 ?

We were already planning to bring along a couple of extra servers to lessen the load on other servers.

Maybe a little more colaboration on who's hosting and what's on could be good.

IRC would be a better choice if we can get it running. It's more of a room chat feeling, than Person to Person only chat.

----------------------
I took on the liberty of chucking the list of game servers on the same page and post. DGA admins just edit my post and chuck your game servers up.

The FITS Server will be running.

'Excellent.

Would the person writing the chat program happen to be any of the other engineering monkey's on GU?

ra3?

Gloom Quake2

Edit: I may bring my own dedicated for this, will take further investigation.

ra3 = Q3RA

Rocket Arena 3

Quake 3's Version of Rocket Arena

Vorly's Game

Shannow's Game.

FITS Server Dedicated to it

Nuff said :D

Sif looks like MoH:AA :evil: MoH:AA looks like DoD :twisted:

i got the demo for Return to castle wolfenstien
i like it. anyone got the full version?

Quote from Unseen:

i'll provide an irc server in the mean time. so nobody else needs to worry about that.

Wouldn't NNTP work better?

NNTP? why would a news server be better than an irc channel for communication between lanners? i mean, standing up and shouting is possibly the only thing i can think of for now that beats irc. and probably only if you accompany the shout with a carefully thrown item, such as a coke can.

Any updates people?

What games/services are people's machines are going to be running. Echelon-Designs doesn't want to host any game duplicates.

see list above

Could the DGA chat proggy be configured to run ambience music for the LAN as a jukebox type request. Although I'm sure legal stuff would get into the way of this though.

Okay Echelon-Designs will have

Server 1 :: Parthril
XP2100+, 512MB DDR
- Half-Life: Natural Selection dedicated 20 player (-ns_bast, and a couple other maps which have seriously bad cpu usage)

Server 2 :: Paritian
Duron 1.3G, 256 DDR
- America's Army Dedicated
- Soldat Dedicated
- Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

Quote from Jay:

probably not, the way its designed is to do away with the need for any sort of server, this means all users are equal, and there is no concept of a 'super user' who can control such stuff.

Quote from Jay:

would there be a way of having a server transmit music? like windows media player server or something?

A streaming MP3 server wouldn't be that hard to set up.

winamp shoutcast works fine.

Latest Addition to the Frontline IT Solutions Linux Server.

Unreal Tournament 2003.

So Far these games can be running dedicated on the Server.

Game Max Players
Quake 3 Rocket Arena 24
Counter Strike 32
Unreal Tournament 2003 32
Solder of Fortune 2 32
Jedi Knight 2 - Outcast 24

Now I dont think that they will work so well running at the same time.
So as the demand for each game arises, some of the games will be brought up and down.

IF anyone has any ideas on making the server run more efficient and lag free please let me know.

Thanks all in advance and I look forward to having a great time at the next DGA.

nice server
u have been busy hay ?
looking forward to playing on it

me too :)

With ppl not just bots

GIR there already is a ut server...... 2 actually.

so

so now theres going to be 4 servers, .... *shakes head*,

Thanks Jay for putting this game on the better server :twisted:
I see more and more interest in NS, and personally any NS server at DGA is my friend! This game ROCKS.

well i am still running the UT comp.
I will make a loud announcment and tell everyone to come to me and i will organise the comp.

i am pretty sure we are only going to need 2 servers, 1 for the comp 1 for other ppl not in comp.

But more is always better. how many CS servers are there gonna be?
lol

i was talking to gobbles and we agreed that it would be lots of fun to play a big objective based match of Spearhead, any one else wanna.

oh and car racing games are always loads of fun.

Quote from Rainwulf A'Kahnon:

Rain, I have no problem with this.

Think that the games should be spend out among the dedicated servers so that one system isnt running too many, which will decrease performance and game play.

One server for NS
One for ut2k3
One or two for CS
One for Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 - Thats for you Dazza
Etc Etc

That way there is enough servers to go around so that everyone gets to play what they want when they want and not have a Full server.

I have only stated what can be run on the FITS Server, so the admins can advise the require of the server and run the games that are needed to satify the demand.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing and playing ppl at the 17.

See you all there.

I've already informed tn1 of this, I'll be bringing a dedicated server to serve the following.

Gloom Quake2
QuakeWorld TeamFortress

(BTW: I recommend giving QuakeForge a look, they really have improved the engine.)

What is gloom quake2?

PlanetGloom

Team based quake2 mod, aliens vs. Marines. I expect right now alot of you are thinking it's like NS - it isn't. There are a few significant differences

[list:693efd047d][*:693efd047d]The lower classes for both sides are more vulnerable, upping the fear factor[*:693efd047d]Buildings are limited[*:693efd047d]You buy the higher classes with frags[*:693efd047d]Quake2 physics[/list:u:693efd047d]

There are more differences than that, thats just off the top of my head.

There's a reason why I won't be playing Gloom.

Go Spearhead. This roxks for those that havent played it.

Definelty be interested in playing this on the weekend.
