Of course, it would have to be Iceworld only. And buying grenades of any kind would be disabled. And running HLGuard, Admin Mod, and StatsMe. And someone that loves playing CS could have admin on the server...
Hey, I love playing CS. What a great idea! Thanks.
But seriously, it would be cool if we had an official server that we could all play on. Also, any maps that UGN users made we could put in the rotation for testing, and have them get reviewed and such.
Anyone with a box they could run a dedicated cs server on? Any ideas?

I have never played CS, but a nice UGN game server where you can just meet in IRC and get a few ppl for a variety of games. Would be, as Bill and Ted say, MOST EXCELLENT | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 Member | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 | Its a good idea, like what jon said if you can find someone to run it dedicated then nice.

It probably won't be able to handle 32 players, but we'll see. His probably won't be the UGN official one though.
I'm gonna install HLDS on the other computer and run a server when they aren't on for long periods of time, but it won't be reliable.
Maybe we could have a UGN Official Server for the most popular online games among it's users. Battlefield, UT, HL mods, chess, etc. It'd be cool to know there is a cool server you can fall back on when every other server is [censored]. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 UGN Elite Poster | UGN Elite Poster Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 | If anything, we need a Neverwinter Nights server. That game has gone to [censored], cause everybody cheats. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 574 Likes: 1 UGN GFX Whore | OP UGN GFX Whore Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 574 Likes: 1 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 553 UGN Super Poster | UGN Super Poster Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 553 | I love Neverwinter Nights. But after I spend a LOT of hours trying to build my character and trying to find the best weapons around, I found out (while playing on the internet) that nobody really does that anymore ... they just cheat. So yeah, [censored] cheaters ! | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 UGN Elite Poster | UGN Elite Poster Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 | Like I said, we'll start a NWN server, and if you cheat, we'll pwn you with the quickness | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 UGN Super Poster | UGN Super Poster Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 | I am down. From what I remember from IRC, its AD&D stylee, right? I don't play any games cept starcraft, but might be interesting to get into.
BTW, wasting countless hours of your life on a game is insane (but it happens). But who the hell would cheat and then waste countless hours?? Kinda beats the point of putting all the time into a game. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 815 nobody | nobody Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 815 | well the thing is NWN is all about scripting it yourself creating your own world, weapons, and characters. If you create your own server, you control what goes on in it. There are a ton of great servers for NWN out there. you just have to find them. Many people scripted thier own systems out of the NWN model and implemented new skill systems and crafts that you have to go out and kill things and craft the items into your weapons and [censored] like that, but that can really get very boring after spending hours and hours mining ore to build a suit of armor.... | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 574 Likes: 1 UGN GFX Whore | OP UGN GFX Whore Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 574 Likes: 1 | Reminds me of something.....oh yeah...
Build more farms. | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 217 Member | Member Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 217 | a cs server would be good but where would it be located? | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 Member | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 | It's an idea, in order to find out where it will be, it would have to have a host first. So haha, we shall see.

Like really, someone take the friggin initiative here for pete's sake. You got a thread with a whole bunch of people going "Gee, a game server would be really cool" but not one of you is willing to host the damn thing. And by willing I mean getting your hands on the equipment and hosting, or even pooling resources to build a machine that one of you will host. Either get off your respective asses and make this happen or quit talking about it. You all look like a bunch of lazy jackasses.
and before you say "Well why don't you host it Inf?" let me once again say that I am not a gamer and I don't have any desire to participate in this. On top of that, I think CS is a stupid game and I can't stand playing it :p (however if a NWN server was started I might show up once in a while).
So to recap, quit being so damn passive about this and make it happen, or drop it. That's my two cents.

Maybe a Warcraft 3 server, or a Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 server in addition. Of course no CS, cause it blows. | | |
