8.9.4.82:28961



This is the new IP for MWCM, effective immediately.

steel can we put the other one back up for few days to help people find new one it didnt work and the server is remaining empty guess we need to give em few days to get the message that server is moving to be prepared

I was on this morning 5 am and couldnt find the old server ,the new one was empty but found all the regulars playing the fs server.

I turned on the old one, running only carentan, with messages all over the place to say to go to the new IP.

There were a few of us playing this morning, and right now there are like half-dozen playing. It will catch on, just takes a little time.

The new IP is a little wierd, I know, but that's just what it is. Pablo, make sure you go to the correct IP. Don't forget that it's 28961 at the end instead of the typical 28960.

So it's 8.9.4.82:28961

I'm guessing this replaced the cod2 mixed maps. No biggie. Just been missing my mixed maps

No, mwcm replaced the coduo German Front Mod server.

OMM replaced the COD2 mixed maps with the COD2 rifles-only server.

He had moved the mixed maps to another I.P. I thought it was this one... must have been .81:28961 nobody has played it since it moved that I know of.

my mistake

Yep. Sorry that I was on travel and had to rely on my Old Man memory when I recommended the server that could be replaced with MWCM. I wish that I had remembered that the German Front Mod server was on the 28961 port rather than the default 28960. I think it would have been better to start up the new server with an IP using the default port and would have rearranged things to make that possible. But I guess it doesn't make that much difference since a server becomes popular based on people saving the server as a favorite and the port number is transparent to that.

My other recommendation was that we do it in a gradual manner by slowly reducing the slots on the old MWCM server with a constant advertising of the new server. I also wanted to see how our box handled the load. Maybe the cold turkey approach is better - I guess time will tell. The payment to Gunservers has already been made for another month so we have a fallback if running on the dedicated box becomes a problem.

Anyway, I should be back home Wed evening.

I encountered a problem trying to download all the mods. It was pointing me to http://8.9.4.75/mwcm but that folder does not exist on the server. This might be causing a few people not to be able to join.

I found the problem and fixed it. No more troubles.

Thanks blk. That should certainly help things.

Yea i was on the New IP for MWCM server and it is a little faster and less laggy with all the same htings as the old one but i dont get why ppl arnt coming over that fast because it was a popular server before it moved.

Oh well

Well, we're probably doing some things that aren't helping, like leaving the old server up (when I moved the server last spring, I had to shut down the old one before anyone would look for the new one, even though I still had 3 months paid up on the old one... long story). Also, I think the 28961 is throwing people off, as it's not the default port for coduo. And finally, the server's just not staying camped sufficiently to draw players ... players do not typically join an empty or scantily populated server.

Plus, last spring when I moved it, MWCM was the first and only server running modern weapons and custom maps. This year, there are a dozen or more such servers.

they seem to have rebeled and are playing carantan all day on the old server,leave both up,hehe!

Tell me about it, I've seen some of us in there playing as well today! I went in and asked them why they were playing there, and the answer was that there were more people playing the old server than the new server. LOL!

i say roll with it .

hey steel if u want ppl to move to the new ip dont put carentan on the old server cus to many ppl like carentan i being one of them

U shud put a really crappy map so that when ppl get on they see all ur signs to move to the new ip server and no plays on the old one
