Title: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: digiholic on October 14, 2010, 06:13:18 AM
I'm the admin of the "Mega Cool Story Bro!" server. The server went down earlier today due to an internet outage, but it's back up now.

In case you don't have Doomseeker, here's the IP:
64.106.94.237

I like your server!  It's fun!  I can't play due to my crappy connection, but it's still fun to watch!  Good conversation from time to time, too!

Yeah it was, this time the problem was on my end. Host computer crash.

It's back up again. Hopefully it shouldn't go down again.

Is there any chance of Duel, LMS, or Terminator being played on this server?

I don't know how you could be, was it a vote thing? I don't see anyone on the ban list, so I can't remove anything. I've never hosted a Skulltag server before, is there something else I need to do to unban people? I hit "Clear Ban List" anyway, maybe it works again?

I was thinking of that. Perhaps every day or so I could change the gametype? Or is there a way to set up a server to automatically rotate so I don't need to keep remembering?

EDIT: Server is set on Team Deathmatch until further notice.

Was playin the server earlier today and people kept complaining about the tiny (20) frag limit. They also complained about the team deathmatch.

Edit: Later in the same day, I actually managed to do something constructive.

Managed to teach a few newbies some skills essential to survival... We had fun, surfed on water-speeders, jumped in pits... and got dizzy with the top-spins.

Yeeah this is probably the best server, since 1) it has the most players usually, 2) i have a great ping to it, and 3) it doesn't have super spiky lag like several other servers, even with 32 people.  Thanks for running it!
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: TrueTenguMan on October 24, 2010, 10:48:00 PM
My problem with MCSB ((Mega Cool story Bro)) is mainly the Ping on a few maps; Gyro Man's stage as an example.

Other than that, it's the most played server i'm on...

You can vote to change the frag limit. I have no idea how, but it has been done before.

Sure. I was thinking of rotating it every week or so.

Glad you enjoy it! It's got a lot of players because it's become the official /v/ server, and it's fast because I'm leeching off of my university's super fast internet.

I just realized that this means the server will not be up over the winter or summer holidays. Sorry guys.

I think that might just be the stage itself, I've noticed lots of lag playing on Quickman's stage, and I'm hosting it.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: TrueTenguMan on October 24, 2010, 11:05:11 PM
Not exactly. Just today I played on Gyro Man and Quick Man stages on a low Ping server and the frame rate was smooth. Course when I play them on High ping servers, the FPS goes to hell 0_o. Quick Man's stage is bearable, but not Gyro :/

Of course it all depends on the Host's connection I suppose...

I love this server because it's almost always has a big load of people on it. Great for spamming to release your stress  :mrgreen:

Bro, this is hands down my favourite server. Just way too much fun. There is a lot of funny drama that goes on around here too.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: RenegadeX5 on October 28, 2010, 07:51:46 PM
BE ADVISED!! There's a new MM8DM version out. I have it and I'm unable to connect to the server due to some outdated networking.

[Mostly because it's using the previous version. Can't blame ya.]
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: digiholic on October 29, 2010, 03:18:56 AM
Didn't realize the update was already out. Updated the server, you should be good now.

Post by: Snake33AU on October 31, 2010, 05:57:27 PM
Downloaded the new update and started again. I just passed MM2!

Am up to my own stage now, but I'll play it one chapter at a time.  :D Really digging this game!

Just letting everyone know, there seems to be a Skulltag bug that's causing my server to crash semi-occasionally. I'll try to get the server back up as soon as possible when it goes down, but if I'm away from my computer, I might not notice. If the server dies and isn't back up after about ten minutes, feel free to post here and I'll see it.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!

Hey uh how come the server's not up? o.o?

It crashed sometime yesterday and I didnt see it come back up.

Hello! I'm brand new to MM8BDM as of a couple days ago and I just want to say so far this has been my favorite server! Any chance of seeing some ctf or tlsm in the future? Thanks again and happy fragging!

Might be related to this PM I got earlier

I noticed something strange today in a "roboenza" server.

For some reason, after the LMS warm-up countdown, jumping and falling down from ledges becomes very laggy and full of mispredictions. But during the warm-up countdown, everything is ok. I haven't looked into the code in detail, but is there something special going on online in terms of player jumping? Server gravity vs player jump height vs "mapinfo" gravity, etc. Perhaps there is something that is not synced properly between the server and the clients.

Do you happen to thrust the player in an ACS script somewhere?

Actually, it seems to work fine after every "changemap" map change, but after the warm-up countdown, things start to lag.

This definitely needs to be fixed or worked around before an official 98d release if possible.

Edit:

Perhaps it has something to do with the aircontrol setting in the "mapinfo" lump.

Edit2:

It indeed is due to the aircontrol setting in the "mapinfo" lump. I'll make a report at the bug tracker with an example WAD to it.

Sorry, I've been working all day and hadn't had time to get it back online.

Maybe I should consider switching off of Roboenza mode when I'm going to be gone for extended periods of time?

Sorry everyone, the server will probably be down tomorrow, I'm installing Windows 7 on the host computer and I need to do a lot of file transfer stuff. I'll keep you posted if I get it up earlier.

Post by: Bigruss91 on November 11, 2010, 05:09:46 PM
*Sigh* My server use to be popular in the demo and maybe in the first version of the full game. But since I don't leave it that on that much, MCSB takes over. I don't care of it being popular anyways. At least my CTF server Gets most plays sometimes.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: PressStart on November 11, 2010, 07:16:15 PM
Hey, it ain't easy keeping a server up 24/7! I'm glad there's guys both like you and digiholic, otherwise I'd have nowhere to play.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: TheBladeRoden on November 11, 2010, 07:29:24 PM
Yeah its tough when your server keeps getting 'fatal errors' whenever you aren't looking
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: digiholic on November 12, 2010, 03:57:14 AM
Server should be up within the hour, just need to redownload MM8BDM and reconfigure the server. Going to set it to CTF now, since that seems to be what a lot of people are clamoring for.

EDIT: Hey, looks like some of my games made it into the backup after all! Server is up right now!
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!

Much appreciated dude! Variety is the spice of life.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: Koal on November 12, 2010, 06:26:12 PM
Setting it to CTF was a bad move. There are several CTF servers that we can use that are perfectly fine.
We kinda need a roboenza server that doesn't lag like a motherfucker and this one is the only one I've found so far that doesn't cause me hardly any lag at all as far as I'm concerned. The only roboenza server that's up lags so badly that its practically unplayable.

Simply put, I respectfully request you set it back to Roboenza.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: KillerChair on November 12, 2010, 06:54:32 PM
I barely play on this server thanks to the amout of lagg it gives me... at least 200. So with alot of people it easily gets over 300.
And ive kinda had it with all the roboenza servers so that makes me want to play less on the crowded ones aswell.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: Mr. X on November 12, 2010, 08:32:44 PM
Well, it was a nice idea but it appears nobody will go in this server because it's on CTF.  That's just sad.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: Max on November 12, 2010, 08:33:26 PM
CTF is... not exactly my favourite mode.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: digiholic on November 12, 2010, 08:34:09 PM
Switched back to Roboenza, since there has been like four people in two days on the server.
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: Masahiro-Nitefox on November 12, 2010, 08:59:27 PM
It was set to CTF? And I missed it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Post by: CopShowGuy on November 12, 2010, 09:44:48 PM
If you're going to switch away from CTF, at least go to something besides Roboenza. :cry:
Title: Re: Mega Cool Story Bro!
Post by: digiholic on November 12, 2010, 10:00:15 PM
Eh, Roboenza fills servers. Maybe I'll switch it to something else, but I don't know what.

Post by: MASKDRONIUS on November 27, 2010, 03:21:02 AM
personally my favorite mode is one flag ctf though there is a server that does that, or at least there was. I haven't seen the legendary one flag ctf server in a while. aside from that I like plain TDM myself.
