Giddamon Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hello, I'd like to rent a Jedi Academy dedicated server for my Clan but I've never been server admin before so I need some help. First off, I need an euro server. I was thinking about buy from jolt but their prices are quite high even if, from what I know, their servers are very fast. Are there other good servers rental in europe (better if cheaper ) or is jolt the only way to go? Second off, the server is going to be used mainly as FFA FF and I'd like to upload an admin mod. Could you suggest a good and secure mod for such a server? Thanks for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Try http://www.GameServers.net or http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ JA Plus Mod is by far the most popular mod http://japlus.fragism.com/index2.php Other choices are xmod2 http://xmod2.cat5camp.com and Jedi Academy Reloaded http://jamod.ryanmh.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddamon Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Thanks for the links, I think I'll go with the GS solution BTW, few months ago I set up a dedicated server using and old home computer of a friend of mine (and the sticky thread about how to configure servers helped us a lot ) but I've never been admin of a hosted server so now I'm quite confused. For example, to upload mods and run them do I get access to a special file manger once I've made the payment or do they send me username and password and I'll access my server with a standard FTP connection? (i.e. CuteFTP) Sorry if this may sound as a stupid question but as I mentioned before this is the first time I try to run a hosted ded server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 You would be better off asking them. When I used JediServers, they gave me an FTP address, login & password and I just entered the info into my FTP programs (Cuteftp and Filezilla). Check with your provider. PS: As far as Admin Mods go, Xmod2 is the best (and it's secure). ; ) Learn Rcon too (built in remote control feature of being an admin in Q3 engine games) it will help you a lot!

Giddamon Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Thanks for your help, Amidala and Kurgan. It was very appreciated I've bought the server today. Can't wait too see how good I am as admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
