After talking to the resident wolf, I think having some game servers would be good advertising, and give people here with the games a place to play together.

A few have been suggested so far, TF2 and Minecraft probably being the two most prominent ones. Any other suggestions?

[Wolf]

Garrys mod, spacebuild mod

boldly go where no nerds have gone before, and whatnot

[SpleenBeGone]

I believe I have to pay for Gary's mod, don't I? And I've never heard of the other.

Also, didn't you mention advertising profit from some?

[Wolf]

Yea, I think Gmod still costs $10,

and spacebuild is a Gmod mod where you try to build a spaceship without killing yourself/everyone else with the fusion reactor

at least that's what it is when I play >.>

Source games with a motd, and some other games with server splash screens can generate ad profit, also

[SpleenBeGone]

That sounds awesome. <.<

Hrm..I might have to look into that. Possibly make enough at some point to actually have a dedicated server rig.

[SpleenBeGone]

Hrm. I seem to not be able to get game tracker to connect to the TF-2 server. The console is running fine and ports are forwarded.

1. Reboot
2. Make sure everything is right [it probably will be]
3. Profanity
4. Throwing things
5. More profanity
6. Check steam forums

also, I've had the game tracker site be a little slow on the updates before

anything yet?

[SpleenBeGone]

Haha, I tried all the above.

Nah, I just got an error on their submit thingy. The L4D2 server worked flawlessly though. Time to tinker. >.>

[Wolf]

I like Left 4 Dead better anyway >_>

that's a really oddly specific problem... check the server variables? [all variables with sv_ in the console, there are some oddly specific ones]

[Löwe]

I know plenty of people on Blacklight that would be into this site.I've been advertising on my FB account and other sites I use.

[SpleenBeGone]

Awesome, thanks.
I'll look into a blacklight server as well.

We talking L4D 1 or 2? I plan on buying both but I wanna know which one your settin' up first so I can buy it first.

NP! This place is awesome thus far. :3 Yeah I'm not sure how that would work with BL but it would be kewl to play with people who know how to actually play CTF like CTF instead of like Death Match. XD

You mean the flag serves a purpose?!

Get a minecraft server up! I miss mine, but don't have the spare cash to host it anymore.

[SpleenBeGone]

I'll see what I can come up with.
What's the limiting factor on a minecraft server, as far as how many users it can hold?

as of 1.3.1, 1-2147483647

I recommend 20-30 though

http://www.minecraft...rver.properties

if possible, run a cracked server too

[SpleenBeGone]

I meant, is it heavy on processor, ram, bandwidth, etc.

[Löwe]

I'd be willing to pay for a Nerd Forum Guild on Blacklight. If enough if you are interested. I'm dying for good team players. X /

[SpleenBeGone]

Is that in game money, or real money you have to pay?
