Kurgan Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Kurgan's Meatgrinder, my "no rules" hardcore FFA/Siege server has returned, and this time it's with a professional hosting service. Check the server status here: http://strategy.jediknight.net/jka/server_status.shtml Thanks to the sponsorship of http://www.JediServers.com the new JA server now hosts up to 12 players and should be MUCH faster and more stable than before. It's currently running a rotation of Siege using custom bot routes (so you won't feel so alone during the off hours) and later FFA with more customized features and the JA Bonus Mappack: http://www.lucasfiles.com/index.php?s=&action=file&id=381 Since this is a sponsored server, it needs your help! That means you should visit Outcast Strategy: http://strategy.jediknight.net Strategic Academy: http://strategy.jediknight.net/jka/ ...and click on the http://www.JediServers.com banners! JediServers provides hosting for JK2 and JA servers, with a lot of nice features including trackers, mods, etc. Visit http://www.JediServers.com and take a look. Maybe they're the right host for you? ; ) A big thank you goes out to Astyanax of JediServers for all his help getting this setup! Note: there is no private password, so all are welcome, but I did this with LucasForums folks in mind (Psst, turn off your killtrackers!) So show your support, play on the server, add Meatgrinder to your favorites and click on those JediServers.com banners, and visit their page. Tell your friends!

Alegis Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm waiting on ASE for a space to open cause it's full, there are 4 bots in it.. that shoulda be fixed :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--ZeeMan-- Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 is the ip in your siggy kurgan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yeah that's the IP in my sig. ; ) It shouldn't change at all until around April 30th when I'm told they're doing some server shuffling. As far as the bots are concerned, I put those in because hey, it's Siege, and let's be honest, unless there's at least four people in there, people will leave immediately, they are so impatient. In addition to that, at times it seems like the game will be full then like 3/4 of the people will just leave when the round ends. So the bots keep it looking "full" so people keep playing. The only trouble is that the "bot_minplayers" thing (which is supposed to add or remove bots based on how many players are there) doesn't seem to work properly in Siege mode. So the bots basically never leave and no new ones get added. I can kick the bots, but that means that there's going to be periods of nobody in the server or just 1-3 people sitting there. When I cycle back to FFA the bots will work properly and won't take up any extra space, trust me. Update: The Bots are gone, the server is full. ; ) GG to everyone I just played, some real cutthroat Siege players out there! Very impressive!

Lathain Valtiel Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 *Cracks knuckles* Finally I can deal death and destruction on a somewhat normal damage server! HOORAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good game Lath, everyone. ; ) Players seemed to kind of drop off once we switched to FFA, so it's back on Siege again for now. Don't forget to thank JediServers.com! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ping tested it and i have a ping of 45.... wtf is with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master William Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Great, now let's see an European server too. US servers mean high ping in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeKatarn Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ah man I live in the US so I guess I can not join:( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hopefully I can get some time to get on tonight... And you have inspired me, Kurgan. I'm thinking about renting my own JA server. I got some extra cash. It might be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks for doing this, Kurgan. Gone are the days of Lag, cometh the glorious age of the REBORN MEATGRINDER *Holy light shines up server*: Stormhammer: Lagalicious baby! Kurgan: You know it ;)Good times, but even greater times are to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Restarted the server, man it was so packed and people were pounding us trying to get in and download the files (I turned off downloads for awhile). So it's all ready to go again for more abuse! Yeah, hosting rocks, lots more fun than just joining random games (especially with all the "honor" dominated stuff going on). And when you can actually play and have low ping for EVERYONE (and not just the host) it's really something special. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Sadly, I tried to get on last night and got the dreaded "Server is for low pings only" reponse. And I have a DSL modem too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 The server is located in Texas (I had a choice of that, New Jersey or California) and I have the maxping set at 600 ms. I could raise it I suppose, but I'll have to take care of that this weekend if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathain Valtiel Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Awww.. Why didn't you put it in New Jersey so I could have a glorious ping of 30? Hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
