Hey all

Finally got the server working.

Today Ace was saying he didn't see it in his server list. It wasn't showing in mine yesterday, but I was able to connect using ip.

It showed up here today and in the ingame server list for me.

Can anyone else not see it?

And do you think I should still run a space maps week now or not?

Congrats on your 10th RSF.

Yeah, you can easily have fun with 16 players on a space map, it actually works out better for me that way as when a server has more than that and the lasers start flying my frame rate drops down to 10 or less which obviously is a bit of a pain, but with around 16 players it usually remains at a manageable frame rate for me. Enough to hold my own in a dogfight anyway.

I'd say run each map at 32 player map size so you have a nice selection of craft to choose from which is sometimes lacking from the 16 player maps which obviously need to cut things down, only run Yavin at 16 because of the fact that the towers are tougher the larger the map size on Yavin, so it would be unfair on the attacking Rebels to have a larger map size than was appropriate to the numbers playing.

16 is plenty good for space. Twigs of course remembers 1v1, 2v2 T/I and knows that 3 players versus 3 other players is an INCREDIBLE amount of pvp combat in space.

Regardless, i'm having problems getting the server to work. Its all updated, I have it working with 2142cc but people get mod. content when they try join.

You're welcome. Seriously that server is good for infantry maps but not space. 16 just isn't quite enough for a good game IMO.

I have to update it manually, as its a gameserver server.
This complicates things as the updater won't run, so i have to make a server on my comp, run updtae, get files, copy them across.
And then i can't test if its working or not without help atm.

Some good ideas twigs.

Has the RSF server been updated then??

Well your server is 16p maps anyway right? I'd say 1 round per map with team mixing between each round. Keeps it interesting not knowing whos gonna be on your team next.

RSF server will be running spacemaps all week!

This is to celebrate our 10th anniversary (on Friday 20th March) which I find hilarious because, as some of you may be aware, a few of our players are only slightly older than the clan itself

Anyway, I'd appreciate input on how to keep this fun- particularly from Luke who ran Rebel Hell spacemaps back in release 1 when there was only 2 spacemaps available

Also- can someone check that its working? I an STILL without a gaming pc so I can't play FS to check myself
