Okay ya'll, the server is running and ready for ya. The name of it is {MOB} Best Custom Maps at 8.9.4.78:28960 . I added a couple more maps too that I thought you might enjoy - Foy West Night and Downtown Stalingrad. And I spiced things up with a bit of extra blood and some other goodies. Frag on!!

Wow, is that a wad of dollars on the horizon floating our way?

Someone get the fishnet.

COME ON GUYS,steel and omm went to all this trouble ,lets play the server and make suggestions to make it better. in rotation is it possible to add barb and smolensk?

we were in there today less then 40 mins ago,and everyone got kicked out and couldnt reconnect.

PM sent to Steel about it.

I'm looking into it. The vitebsk map seems to be the one causing the trouble.

Played Foy Night with Steel, Shred, Overheated, McCoy and Parts of BC last night. Was good fun until the server crashed while loading Smolensk.

Can I suggest adding Tuchola Forest to the rotation so others who haven't played it and/or don't know about our TF server can see the map?

Will definitely be stopping in there regularly

I think I've got all the bugs out now. But I see now that the reason for the problems will limit the maps we can run on this server. The thing is, some of the custom maps require certain mods running with them, e.g. the azh_vehicles mod. However other of these maps will not run with any mods at all on the server, otherwise it goes over the max_gamestate allotment and crashes the server.

So for now, I've got in there just the maps that do not run with any mods (except I do have my custom compass etc mod in there, but that's okay): Kharkov_bas_beta, mp_foy_west_night, downtown_stalingrad, mp_ex_nihilo_uk.

Later, if you do want Tuchola Forrest and also smolensk, ardennes1944, and vitebsk, I'll have to take off the current maps, put these on, and also the mods it takes to make them run right.

I never knew that BAS maps are so much more finicky and close to being maxed for gamestate as they are. Learn somethin' new everyday!

Thanks to all the guys who played tonight and helped catch the bugs. We'll know more when the server gets even more players.

Great job Steel! Surely a server to visit.

being kharkov is my favorite i hate to say this-we should take it out,it always has problems where ever i play.

when i was in 1stad, one mod if loved playing was a sniper mod with a scope. That was the only gun that you were allowed to use. The thing was the maps were really big and axis had to stay on one side and allies had to stay on the other, you weren't allowed to cross over or you blew up, unless spawned on the other side. The thing about the sniper rifle was that you could zoom in 3 times by hitting the "M" key, is was so funny you could just about see the wrinkles on there face. I would at least like to see that gun in some of the modded servers for people who just like to sit back and snipe. there was also alot of blood with it and it told you were you hit them and how far it was.

i have to agree with you cero,ive been a long time player at red skies tonight which is sniper only with no run and gun ,pistols etc.. i was recently banned from there when a guy came out of a wall and shot me , i typed "wtf" and was banned.i liked how strict they were about language and the run and gun because sniping is about patience not running around like a little kid,but im speechless for being banned for typing wtf.

i miss the sniper server ALOOOT ! they have 10 slots and its full most the time.i would log on every morning at 10am and it would still be full at 3 am . you need one guy to log on and within 5 minutes you got guys coming in .i would suggest checking out what they do , if you can get on , its alot of fun. ps- its under deathmatch.

maps they use-
pavlov-the best
valley day
valley night
hutrgen
ponyri
berlin -by far the best sniper map evr
kahrkov
a few destroyed city maps i cant rememeber the names of but very competitive.i dont think it would be huge for mob but it would fill up. oh and they used tripwires but it was hard to get a second nade and it was the normal cod uo settings for scope ,weapons and firing.

Wow Steel what a great job. Last night we had a packed server..... we brought all the players from the barb server over. The map was Foy( night)... how amazing was that. You should look at the comments in the logs, players stated they felt like they were in a whole new game.. it was so awesome. The one thing that may be a negative at this time is the time length on the games. A bunch of us were talking and someone suggested it be changed to 30 mins per side.

I think right now you have it set to 60 mins per side. If the time limit was lowered people could cycle through the maps a little more. I enjoy Foy, but playing 2 hours was a little much. I love the way you opened some of the closed building and had the availability to get on roof tops. Thank goodness for that, because I needed to get Pain and Krueger off the 88 lol .

Great job Steel

More feedback to come as I continue to try out the maps.

You're welcome. I'll set the time to 30 minutes, no problem.... ignore my pm asking what the time should be.

I'll be monkeying with the German Front Mod server next. Gonna make it a rockin' server too in the next day or so. Stay tuned...... :-)

yay! i love the sounds already can yo add blood and some germans bitching when their shot ?

1 question.I thought our uo servers were very popular until the problems that some members created.Maybe I am wrong but that is what I thought.Our CoD2 rifles server is doing well.I say make the stock maps a 3 or 4 map rotation of the most popular and see how it goes.I say drop uo and everyone play CoD2 and our servers would be full all the time.lol
