MM8BDM Best-Ever Servers

[Orange juice :l]

A few Best-Ever serves have been put up for your MM8BDM'ing needs. If you have an idea for a server you're certain would get a lot of traffic and enjoyment, feel free to suggest one. If you have any questions, complaints, or death threats, post those too.

These servers are made with new players in mind. Doomseeker is highly recommended, but here's a tutorial if you want to use the internal browser for some reason. Download the mod files highlighted below, put them in your MM8BDM folder, and select them with the "add file" button on the launcher. Once you've got the game loaded, simply A. Type in the console "Connect [ip address of the server below]" without quotes, or B. Locate the server through the internal browser in the Multiplayer -> Browse Servers menu.

If you have the address http://static.best-ever.org/wads/ on your wadseeker list [Requires Doomseeker], all wads will be downloaded automatically when you connect!

Red Signifies Servers that are down.
Blue Signifies Servers with a known issue.
BEST-EVER servers are wiped often, so don't panic if you don't see any or an old IP suddenly doesn't work. If this information is outdated and you would like to connect via IP and obtain your wads here, just post and I'll recheck the info.

Anyone know where I can grab the Sharp v2A packet? From the Google search it looks like it's still being worked on.
Zandronum keeps crashing on one of the duel servers also, and I can't figure out why.
This is help and editing, right?

On topic, I'm wondering why there's no standard DM server.

[Orange juice :l]

Sharp's right here

Duel's still having stability trouble with MM8BDM from over a year ago. I suppose if it keeps being an issue we'll change back to 2-man-dm. I recall there's going to be an add-on that implements a proper line made eventually.

There's no standard DM because there's already a dedicated Deathmatch server or two.

We need more Classes TLMS (all classes, daily rotation) and CTF-to-KOTH when that's updated, which totally should.

[Shade Guy]

Just a heads up that SHARP and AMP maps are not in the TLMS server's map rotation, despite being hosted on the server.

[Orange juice :l]

I don't have the RCON for the TLMS server currently, so I guess we're waiting on KD to surface again

[TailsMK4]

A BUNCH of maps are missing in the Saxton Hale server. I think only the MM1-MM7 maps are being used, and the mappacks are just sitting there.

[Orange juice :l]

The TDM and TLMS servers have been fixed rotation-wise. We're waiting on the host of the Saxton server to either give us Rcon or fix it himself. He's been informed.

[Galactan]

Can we get an IP for the Saxton server?

[Orange juice :l]

Done, I'll update this for any other BE servers that pop up.

[Rozark]

What about, say, a Screw Scramble Server?

I remember playing that online only once. It was quite fun, and I really don't see why it isn't hosted alot.

[Korby]

Because it's the second most rage inducing mode, behind only CTF.

[Galactan]

For some reason, every time that I try to connect to the Duel Arena, it says that I need to make sure that I'm using the same wad(s) as the server.  I loaded 2mandmv3a, but it's just not working.  Any suggestions?

[Orange juice :l]

Try connecting after moving your skins folder. See if there's anything in there that shouldn't be.

[Galactan]

I'm still having problems
