Kurgan Posted July 1, 2006 Author Posted July 1, 2006 CURRENT STATUS: UP (July 2006 & until further notice) @ 72.5.248.212:29070 7/01/06 - We're back at a new IP! Have fun blasting and slicing away on the Meatgrinder this summer!
The Antilles Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Yes its back to basic sweet but kurg one thing we need some admins in there more some clans have been doing so hard core bug abusing so either stop by plz or something.
Lathain Valtiel Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 I just banned the single IP the idiots ofb the DSA clan were using to flood us. Server restarting soon.
The Antilles Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 thank lath now get on so we can kick ass and have fun
Lathain Valtiel Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 As a note to Meatgrinder admins, until further notice all DSA members are to be banned on sight for the crime of flooding the Meatgrinder.
Kurgan Posted July 15, 2006 Author Posted July 15, 2006 Good catch, I wasn't on the server when this happened. What does "DSA" stand for anyway? Do we have a list of members or a website/forum for them? We could send out spies if it gets too rough. Flooding the server? How immature. Good call...
Lathain Valtiel Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 They flooded us because me, Antilles there, and kron were ripping them apart in Holo FFA. It was comical really.
Kurgan Posted July 15, 2006 Author Posted July 15, 2006 So what were they doing exactly... chat flood, server vulnerability exploit or some kind of DoS attack (if the latter, we should report them to their ISP)? Sad that people resort to something like that just because they are losing. You guys must have really torn them a new one! LOL
Lathain Valtiel Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 They were basically connecting a flood of dummy names over and over. Actually, they were trying to hold some clan meeting,a nd we ke;pt shooting them. We also kept shooting them every time they tried attacking us.
The Antilles Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I <3 clanners when they lose to people with skills.
Kurgan Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 That's pretty sad. Kids think they own the place! Most clans have their own servers for that sort of thing. Besides, if they just wanted to chat on our server, they could have done so. If they really didn't want to be shot at, they could have gone into spectator mode, and even used the private chat function built into JA to avoid anyone knowing their secret plans. Ah well... !
ensiform Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 btw kurgan, custom maps, and pk3s belong in base directory not in ojp. also, the flood you are refering too, its where random names are spam connected? yeah, JA+ and my mod fixed that. the ja/q3msgboom exploit is fixed as well. hell, i even just fixed the hoth lift bug :nervou
Lathain Valtiel Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Yeah, random name connection spam. I had to log off the server, ban the IPs the jerkoffs were using, and then restart the server. Could you provide the flood protection code to OJP please? I for one would be interested in seeing it in the next Basic release to stop this from ever happening again.
ensiform Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 well it would require a whole rewrite of the clientSession code but it can work. but other than that, all it does is check ips of firstconnection clients with already connected ones. if that # is less than or equal to sv_maxConnections, then let them connect.
razorace Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I'll IM ensiform about this issue, maybe we'll come up with a fix for the situation to prevent the abuse in the first place.
The Antilles Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 DSA or should i say, Dark Skyes Academy 70.85.119.166.28070
ensiform Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I'll IM ensiform about this issue, maybe we'll come up with a fix for the situation to prevent the abuse in the first place. not really doable except how i do it by limiting the # of connections per ip.
Kurgan Posted July 17, 2006 Author Posted July 17, 2006 btw kurgan, custom maps, and pk3s belong in base directory not in ojp. You're right. I didn't even realize there were any like that. It should be fixed now.
Kurgan Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 Okay, a lot has changed in the past 3 months! The server is now running OJP Enhanced 24/7. I can understand this, as Razor is very close to finishing up the mod! This means different gameplay. I'm going on vacation myself soon, and I'll be back Jan 4. Perhaps I should look into getting us an additional server just for Basic, if Enhanced becomes the norm (which I can see it being if it's as polished as I'm lead to believe, but I've been away for awhile and a lot has changed). I'll post here as soon as I find anything out. I will need to update the info on Strategic Academy, as it is outdated (and I couldn't update it for awhile due to server access issues with JK.net). This week I'm studying for finals (it's been a long tough semester too, which is why I haven't been around as much as I used to). Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Kurgan Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Due in part to some glitches in Enhanced making it not stay up on the server, and in part to renewed work being done on Basic, the server has been running Basic lately, so back to standard gameplay (at least for the moment, it all depends on what RazorAce decides to do next of course and we all know how busy he is). Please enjoy!
razorace Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Eh? What's going down with Enhanced on the MeatGrinder? I haven't heard anything about it crashin'.
razorace Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Maybe, but I don't think CoOp was in the rotation. It could be the server itself since ET's been shaking things up a lot lately.
razorace Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Apprenently our server had some file corruption issues and then exploded. ET has been quick to fix the problem, but they lost all our data. Someone is going to have to reinstall OJP on the account to get it working. One of the admins, please email me if you're going to do it. I'll try to do it myself but I'm not sure when I'll get to it.
