The CSS Servers.

  1. The CSS Servers.

    Well i would like to point something out regarding the CSS servers.
    You may or may not have noticed their emptynes. (i am well aware thats not a word ;) )
    The thing is, there are literally thousands of servers just like ours, so unless you already have a large group of regulars there is no way to get people to join the server.
    Why join a GM server you have never heard of? Right.

    The only real way to 'promote' the GM servers is by getting a good reputation.
    When there are no people playing it, obviously, is impossible to get such a reputation.
    What i suggest will sound infinitely selfish but hear me out! :lol:

    Make one of the servers -be it temporarily- scoutzknivez 24/7.
    Right now there are barely 2 decent sk servers, a new one with perfect settings is sure to draw attention.
    Once people know theres a new good server, and i would make them, the server is sure to fill and stay full most of the time.
    On that server you place a message using mani admin plugin giving the IP of the normal map server.
    If possible, you can even have people type a message into chat to send them to the other server immediately.
    This might fill up the other server, if people are having fun they will add to favs and play on it more often.
    After a short while you could then change the scoutzknivez server to normal maps and promote it on the other server (which by then will have regulars on it). That way both servers should be in use, as it is rather pointless atm because they are both empty all the time.

    There, i have spoken, as a scoutzknivez player its obviously really cool to have a GM sk server, but thats really not what im trying to get done here. :lol:
    Scoutzknivez is a really popular custom map, but atm there are just Loads of 150 grav servers with low airaccel and the 'pro' (god i hate that word) community is desperate for decent servers.
    This plan could work, i think.
    Greets :)
    PS. Sorry for the horrible lay-out, but i really cba to do any better at 1.10 am :)

  3. Re: The CSS Servers.

    well server #2 is off ;)

  5. Re: The CSS Servers.

  6. Re: The CSS Servers.

    screw everything :D
    server 2 is on, CSS scoutknivez 24 players on the one, and the 64 players dust2 CSSDM is still in place.
    2 maps on the scoutknivez server so far:
    http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/26278
    http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/44540

    if you know better ones, post them. Also, you are more the "sk-pro" :D means:
    which gravity (700 set atm, more, less?)
    airaccelerate stuff

    others?

    IP to join:
    81.19.221.7:27030

    your time to fill it :D

  8. Re: The CSS Servers.

    Someone is needed to change some stuff.
    First off it would be nice if i had rcon access, some settings need changing and i cant make the changes :)
    Perhaps a bit (a lot of) work, but we need mani admin plugin. Its far superior to sourcemod for CSS.
    SM doesnt support rate-checking and has, in general, a rather limited collection of commands.
    Sorry for giving you a lot of work :)

    EDIT: just found out noblock is on, Please get rid of it ASAP :lol:

  10. Re: The CSS Servers.

    sm_cvar sv_gravity 800
     
  11. Re: The CSS Servers.

  12. Re: The CSS Servers.

  13. Re: The CSS Servers.
