h8/1911 Pub Server

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Fri May 27, 2011 10:42 am

So I'm not sure if this will ever get used on a regular basis or not but I figured why not since most of the pubs out there like to ban us and even though there is a good pub or two left...they still play some shitty maps. I decided to purchase a pub server geared towards league maps and competitive teams. Hopefully it will help revive some competition and maybe we can attract some random pub teams to join in on the leagues. The more competition the better in my opinion. The server is also advertising 1911 so we can get the name out there even more than it already is. This may be a horrible idea but it's worth a shot. Good maps. Good server. No fear of getting banned for stupid reasons. More advertisement for 1911.

I'm still working on getting in-game stats, map voting and hltv situated. Any suggestions are welcome.

Name: h8 Gaming - DoD League Maps - www.nineteeneleven.org
Server address: h8gaming.game.nfoservers.com:27015
Player Slot: 20(I will open up more slots if needed)
Server Type/Loc: Nuclear Fallout, Chicago, 500FPS

Map Rotation:
dod_anzio
dod_donner
dod_harrington
dod_lennon_b2
dod_railroad2_b2
dod_solitude_b2

eric you should give me admin to the server

seanality · Post by **seanality** » Fri May 27, 2011 11:21 am

Thread should be stickied.

Should also add Dod_Emmanuel_b1 to the mix.

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Fri May 27, 2011 11:49 am

We can talk about admin access for sure.

I'll add dod_emmanuel_b1 to the server rotation as soon as I get home from work. I'll update the rotation list once I do that.

Thanks!

Don't give ceebz admin..

The server will always be empty..

He will ban everyone better than him..

Which is about 100% of the existing population of the community..

not to be mean but narc already tryed this and it didn't work. nobody is going to go in the server and sit there by themselves waiting for people to join it, they would rather just go play on a different server (GSR) bots are better then nothing. try adding some bots maybe it will help.

1. Install Psychostats
2. Start 1911.org Pubclan.
3. ?
4. Profit

It's really not that hard to figure out. If you want a server to establish a user base you have to actually put some effort into it (bots won't work). You have to be willing to play in it with just a few people on a regular basis until the population starts to grow.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Fri May 27, 2011 3:11 pm

A 1911 pub clan or a pub clan administered by league people is actually an excellent idea. Would help incorporate pub players into league play. Dunno who wants to put the time/energy into that.

Sears · Post by **Sears** » Fri May 27, 2011 3:15 pm

I don't think a real "pubclan" is necessary, but if you have forums (check), and psychostats and the like to keep people coming back to a community (a la mamma jamma), it could be a draw for pubbers to make their way 1911 and eventually learn and understand what competitive DoD is all about. You just have to actually put some effort into it and spend time playing there and building a user base. The problem being is that people don't want to do that, they would rather just 12 man.

Schmiggs · Post by **Schmiggs** » Fri May 27, 2011 3:42 pm

If you do bots, limit them to 5 per side before removing them from the server. Make them as non-retarded as possible. I like the league map rotation. Don't give admins permaban rights because some people are fucking retards and will ban anyone for anything.

Also, give me admin because I am the DoD Godfather.

Thx

As far as the server goes, i don't want to sound like a debbie downer, but don't be upset if this thing doesn't take off. This has been tried eternally. #dodscrim, #scrimdod both had one, theres been a cal league one, and a tpg one. They've all failed due to lack of use. You cant just expect competitive players to use this, because lets face it, who here wants to take the time and energy to populate a server on a daily basis. Really, this can only be done if you have a community of public server players that someone mentioned above.

As someone who runs a pub clan, let me tell you, its a lot of work and sometimes very annoying. If you don't go into this 100%, don't go into it at all.

we can start a 1911 club, like all those vent crews, except all you need to do to be in it is be involved in this community

time to start pubbing with [1911] at the end of my name yea?

acetamino · Post by **acetamino** » Fri May 27, 2011 6:33 pm

I like pubbing on BAW because it's custom maps. I get enough of league maps in scrims/12ms/matches.

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Fri May 27, 2011 9:28 pm

I don't expect this server to be an overnight sensation or anything like that. Yea keeping a pub running and populated takes some work, but the way I see it... what our little community here puts into it is what we will get out of it. Believe me, I'm not going to lose any sleep if by chance this whole idea is a complete failure like the #scrimdod pub and I end up canceling the server after a few months. It's worth a shot is all I am saying. What is there to lose exactly?

I don't have the time to maintain a site, write articles, predict matches, run a league or anything like that. Me providing this server to you guys is my attempt at doing my part to revive competitive DoD, just because it's a game that I love and grew up on. I will set up the server based on all the suggestions I am receiving and I will give admin access to those that are serious about it(without the ability to ban). We will go from there. If after a couple of months it's still a ghost town, I will just cancel it. No big deal.

I think you should mix in a few customs and a voting system.

Any new pub server would be good, and a pub server ran by the community is better. I tried a server but honesly never put a whole lot of effort into it. put it up set up rotation thats it. noone used it. I wish they did, but they didnt, so i stopped paying for it. Im all for it and wish the best. If I can do anything to help besides playing in it, just ask.

Cory Cory! Price · Post by **Cory Cory! Price** » Sat May 28, 2011 12:38 pm

This is a great idea. I can't wait to start playing when i get my computer back up and working.

Pandemic_aim
Orange

should be thrown into roto.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:46 pm

I love pandemic_aim and orange when it's just a few people playing with certain rules (no nades, only no-scopes, etc). When you play them on a pub they become the worst thing to do on a computer ever.

acetamino · Post by **acetamino** » Sat May 28, 2011 8:30 pm

jules and I put in a good hour of pubbing this afternoon and got the server full for little while

yonderboy · Post by **yonderboy** » Sat May 28, 2011 8:39 pm

Well maybe we should decide upon some designated pub nights or something like that.

Get it full for a few hours, a couple nights per week, and hope others find it.

just a thought.

we had about 14 in the server then it went to 0 once the words 12man were spoken. I laughed at that.

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Sat May 28, 2011 11:42 pm

Yea it was good to see everyone making use of it! I'm still working on the bots and trying to work out the bugs w/ in game stats/ranks. Bots should be done by Monday. Apparently I have to set up way points for bots in custom maps otherwise they will just stand still.

I fixed the respawn timer. Respawn is now 3 seconds(the game won't allow respawn to be any faster). I added a map vote at the end of every map. I also added pandemic_aim, orange and emmanuel_b1 to the server. But I didn't put any of those in the rotation. I plan on setting it up where people can nominate it but for now an admin can change the map to any of those 3. Emmanuel was going to be in the main rotation but the server won't allow users to download the .wad file and it causes dod to error out. Everything else will download though. Like someone said earlier, pandemic_aim is fun but putting it in the main rotation might be a bad idea so for now they are there as an option whenever people request it.

It's getting there!

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Sun May 29, 2011 12:54 am

you can now "nominate dod_mapname" so that should work for pandemic_aim, orange, and emmanuel. I currently have rockthevote disabled. If people think there's a need for rockthevote, I can enable it.

Sears · Post by **Sears** » Sun May 29, 2011 4:11 am

You should be able to set it up so that we can have psychostats for it on nineteeneleven.org

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Sun May 29, 2011 8:07 am

Sean of course! :O

Sears would I be able to do that with HLStatsX also? I have the choice of Psychostats of HLStatsX and I'm willing to go with either or. If you have the time to work with me on this I'm all for pointing the stats to nineteeneleven.org.

Thanks!

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Sun May 29, 2011 9:04 pm

After messing with HLStats plug in and getting no where I decided to go with Psychostats because I found a pretty nice 3rd party plug in. Psychostats is up and running and in game rank commands are working also. (/skill /skilltop etc...). We can move Psychostats over to 1911 whenever you have time Sears. http://h8gaming.stats-ps3.nfoservers.com/

Time to tackle the bots.

Schmiggs · Post by **Schmiggs** » Mon May 30, 2011 5:29 am

when you get the chance, if you could add the ability to rtv it would be awesome.

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Mon May 30, 2011 7:47 am

rock the vote has been added. Two requirements have to be met for it to work 1- At least one player typing rtv and 2- At least 60% of the players in the server typing rtv/rockthevote. That way if someone is in the server solo and wants to change the map...they can. But with more players in the server they can't(unless everyone else wants to also).

Schmiggs I added you as an admin too. Without the ability to ban haha. But the commands you would use would be the amx commands for the admin mod... http://wiki.amxmodx.org/Category:Docume ... X_Mod_X%29

gh0d · Post by **gh0d** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:40 am

Thanks haha. I gave them fake pings too.

Not sure how the bots will work out. I can lessen the amount if needed. For maps like pandemic_aim the bots won't connect at all. As a player connects, a bot will disconnect and at 10 players all bots will be kicked.

Everything is pretty much set up and ready to roll now. Map vote/Rock the vote, 3 second spawn timer, league maps and pandemic aim, bots, psychostats and in-game ranks.
