hello all,

My clan and i will be purchasing a server soon, and since i know theres some members of the forum who would like to use admin powers on server *cough* twiz *cough*

So im offering a sort of half admin, you get the fun admin powers like slay slap, freeze, blind etc, and some basic player managment, like kick and switch team and map options. This only applies to members of this forum, and i would prefere it if you were more of a known member like twaty bolloks, jimmeh etc

It won't cost the Earth, its looking like under £5/month, maybe even under £3.

I will opperate a selected first come first serve method.

(by the way i only posted in here cos well i dont know)

I would like to formally apply for this position.

I am a reasonably good player, and I know the game inside out, having played since CS version 0.7

I will not be available 24/7 (not even close) so if this is a requirement then sorry. But I do play for a few hours on most evenings and weekends, and I know how to tell the difference between damn good players and cheaters.

Please consider me.

Plussage as bribery.

/edit I just read again and noticed the money bit. That's no problem, but how would I pay you?

We sorting out way of paying money.... We are considering opening a bank account with natwest so people can write cheques and transferre money.

Dont worry about not being on there 24/7 we will have more than enough admins (trust me)

so playbus goes on teh list

Edit/

There are only 2 postitions avible. Playbus has one. I give it another day before i award next to pebble, Its not that i dont like him i just dont think he can pay...... :p

it will be a 24 man server and £2.88 /month

Lewiji
15-04-2005, 07:49 PM
I could do it too.

I have my own server but it's only a little 12 man that minds itself, plus we only really use it for training.

Money is not a problem, I have a Natwest account and I'm on Paypal too.

Stop whining ya cheap bastard :p If you really want it have it-I dunno what the huge appeal is, I know from experience (ie mates) that they only want admin powers so that they can slap each other, which isn't fun. The idea of being an admin is to sort out any problems, and kick any cheaters.

Looks like I missed out on this but if you want be to be a part time Admin then I'm in. I have a paypal account and reckon that would be the best way to pay!

Ok this is good, ill put your names forward to my co-clan leader. He knows most of you on CSS as well (part from playbus but im giving him one cos he was first to post) so it shell be teh interesting.

And twaty dont worry you wont get banned and called a cheat on our server. We aint dickheads

It's no problem for me to send someone a cheque, or to pay money monthly into a bank account via standing order (this would be the best option for me as I can then set up the direct debit and forget about it) - of course I'd need the bank details to achieve this.

Please PM me with whatever arrangement you would like to make, as well as
any other details I'm going to need.

I'm OK either way, I have a Natwest account, but I'm not sure how to transfer money...

Also, drop me a PM/tell me on Xfire what sort of things you want so I can get them prepared to install (admin plugin, quake sounds, that sort of thing) and also if you want any custom maps installed.

I've got a couple of good custom maps. When I get home I'll put them in my webspace and post links so you can have a look.

It's also possible that I will make some maps for the server, it would be a great
channel to actually test my stuff with real players. (I'm still learning mapping for HL2 games, it's a wee bit tougher than HL1)

I did a W&B map some time back, but it was for CS 1.6. I could convert it to CS : S fairly easily but it wouldn't exactly take much advantage of the luverly graphics or physics!

As long as there's no UT sounds in there (HEAD SHOT! ETC) coz I'm getting real sick of them. Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, Family Guy...stuff like that is cool though!

When do you think it will be up & running?

Lewiji
19-04-2005, 03:11 PM
I will pwn all your shotgun with my M4. I've been doing some serious training lately and it is lethal...Although my friend Tom who's only been playing for a month or two is better and gets accuses of hacking by EVERYONE (although he doesn't, I've been round to his and watched him play)

Take a look at my server (it's in the "good servers" thread) and take a look at some of the custom maps we have-
1on1_h0ltz00r
he_dodgeball
scoutzknivez (obviously)
knas_speedcastle
fy_poolday
de_faultytowers
aim_usp_v2
awp_map_css_v2
ka_waterfall
rox_dust_tower

Those are all very fun maps.

Only trouble with custom maps is downloading them (I want a quick game of CS:S, not having to wait ages to download and then joining in when everyone's been playing for a few rounds) and not being familiar with them and everyone else is!

It would be cool if you could set it up so when you shoot one of your teammates you get Worf from Star Trek - First Contact saying, "If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!"

Zweee
20-04-2005, 11:11 AM
Most of the custom maps are very basic. A few boxes here and there and theres your enemy shoot.
A few others are a bit more complicated. I strongly urge you to get he_dodgeball. We have that on our server and it is a riot. No weapons no gravity. Just knives and nades. So much fun its unreal. de_dust3 isnt bad, its a kinda meld of dust and dust2. Not so original but makes a change.

EDIT: If you guys want any sounds from films i found a great site with little audio quotes from alot of hollywood films. We have sounds like Ace Ventura saying: "If im not back in 5 minutes....... just wait longer" Things like that. Ill try and dig up the link if you want it?

20-04-2005, 12:00 PM
If the admin is clued up he can mirror the maps to a http server and set it up so u download quickly in game from that.

Holy crap whats happened to the forums

Lewiji

I can set it up to download from a HTTP but you'll have to provide the hosting (My server is getting full and it's not exactly super fast anyway)

knas_speedcastle is one of the best maps I've ever played.

It's a fairly symetrical map with crates, fences etc round the outside and castle in the middle with 2 sniper points on each side. It is fast and action packed while still tactical.

Also, rox_dust_tower is very simple, crates around bottom, but it has a huge tower in the middle with a small point on the top-it's basic but it's effective, plenty of tactical play.

:D

Lewiji
26-04-2005, 05:37 PM
If only it was bigger...And slightly less laggy

Yes I will put countdown on yours if you want, probably gonna try and extend the sound a bit (stretching it in sound forge will do) because it seems very fast.

yeah coutdown or THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. I also got some small family guy files like IT GON RAIN and the one from the new series HE GON GET IT

Lewiji
26-04-2005, 06:09 PM
Haha, yeah any sounds can go on and any commands can be triggered by most events (bomb dropped, round start, player joins, bullet hits player etc) so there's a fairly wide range you can play/annoy with :p

We have some useful stuff like restrict scripts for shotgun only, knife only etc, however they don't work incredibly well for bots since using scouts only, the only command that can be used on a bot is bot_sniper_only which means they usually use AWPs :/ Plus match scripts that can automatically adjust settings (password on, fade to black) and there is a plugin which we haven't put on yet that can auto-manage teams in a match (you put in 10 rounds, it automatically switches all the teams after the 10th round)

Sorry, only just noticed this thread... before you join a server, rate 50000 cl_cmdrate 500 cl_updaterate 500

maximise the amount of data you can send to the server :).

Are you sure about that? Of the zillions of threads I've read about the subject no-one has ever suggested those! Saying that though, every bit of advice I've had on this says something different.

29-04-2005, 08:07 AM
Yeah, your rates govern how much data you can send to the server... so obviously high rates = greater download speed :)

depends on the sv_maxrate... and they work for me.

Cheechy
29-04-2005, 09:27 AM
Im not over familiar with hl2 stuff. I know hl1 inside out.

Unless they have raised the max possible values you can't get over 20000, 100, 100 regardless of what sv_maxrate may be set at.

Twatybollocks
29-04-2005, 12:13 PM
Some servers accept 250000, 101, 101 but that's about it. A lot are now forcing everyone a max rate to make the match fairer...I think this is how it should be.

Timmeh
29-04-2005, 02:55 PM
Enforcing a minrate is a lot more important in my opinion... I know some very nasty people who have a key bound to very, very, very low rates which they hit when they're being shot... cheating really.
