Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 7:32 pm Post subject: XMP server |
|
|
Hi,
I just registered to post this :) First of all, thx for running one of the very few remaining XMP servers! (And I think the only one on this continent)
I think there's still some problems with some master servers (it's a curse!). But I think the aybab2u one is working (ms.aybab2u.com:27900). Can you config your XMP server to connect to that master server?
Since you guys have your own server, and a quick check on your member list shows quite a few people have XMP, is there any chance you guys will get together for a few games? There are still quite some people that show interests in XMP on BeyondUnreal U2 forums(http://forums.beyondunreal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16)
I think it would work if someone can hold scheduled public games (especially if it happens rarely, like once a month or so, so people won't want to miss it). We can have some good old XMP fun. BTW, since the Community Edition is "free", you might even want to get some other members to try XMP.
I have not been playing online games for a while, partly because there's still nothing quite as good as XMP with a bunch of people. I'm not trying to revive the game in the sense of getting the world to play it, but I think the game still deserves to be played by those who still appreciate it. Hope you guys are interested ;) |

Hi takwu, i have`nt played u2xmp in a very long time.
When xmp was young, only 3 of us played it, Maggot, Fly4u and myself.
After i put a server up for xmp i got a few others to try it but never played it much.
c1 is a die hard ut99 clan, we do have server`s for ut2004, ut2004xmp, and the new ut3 also.
You did know theres a XMP add on mod for ut2004?? Theres a post about it in these forums.
For some reason my install of U2XMP crashes when i use ms.aybab2u.com.

Thx for trying to fix it.
My install also crashes sometimes when I go to the server list page, but really not sure what causes it. I'll try to find out.
Yes I know about UTXMP, but haven't gotten around to install it (or UT2004 for that matter). Are you suggesting it's better in some ways? Last I heard it has just as many players as the original U2XMP -- practically none nowadays
Well I hope you guys enjoyed XMP as much as I did. Thanks again for keeping the server running. I'll try and get some games going on it |

Well theres pro`s and con`s for both versions.
Im sure if Legend had`nt been shut down there would have been more update fixes for U2XMP.
Con`s for U2XMP:
Server does`nt idle (map in play even when no players are on)
Cant add pc bots
Was made for windows only (no Mac or Linux version)
Cant play pratice game
Pro`s for U2XMP:
Better looking graphics (i think)
Like hud and menu better
Con`s for UTXMP:
Dont like hud or menu as much (Prob just use to U2XMP`s)
Graphics dont look as nice
Vehicals damage to easy
Pro`s for UTXMP:
UT2004 was made for Mac and Linux also so they can play too
Can play instant action (pratice game with any map)
Can add pc bots to pratice game or to server
Has female skins and voices also
Server idles untill a player joins
I would say theres less players for UTXMP than U2XMP.
You must have UT2004 installed and updated to latest patch to install UTXMP, it uses video and sound drivers that comes with UT2004. _________________

Something is wrong with your guys server, been the same map for days and keeps not letting me in. Maybe a reboot is needed or something? |

Thanks Gab!
I just tried the server and it seems working. Altho I didn't try the AMP maps. I say just remove them and nobody will miss them lol.
Also thanks so much for adding my new map Alcazar Skyline! It's working nicely :)
Since BBF has taken down their server again, you are our savior! There were 13 people at peak times last Wednesday on BBF, so if they don't get their server up you can expect all of us coming to your server this Wednesday :D |

Well...the only reason why we havn't been going to chap 1 is because it's always down. So get rid of the AMP maps and it's all good. |

Hi Gab,
I get a connection error again :( The in-game server list says your server is running Closure Beta5, but web-based master server says it's GFP Pool. So perhaps one of these maps is causing problems...
I actually just wanted to check your current rotation when I got this error. IIRC you have over 40 maps on rotation. Most of them are not suitable for less than 8 players, which is the case almost all the time.
May I suggest that you remove all the maps from rotation, except the stock ones, and just add the ones that people request for from now on? It can solve both the connection problem and maps being too large to play properly.
I really appreciate you running the server, so it's ok if you can't do anything about these requests. We had fun here this past Wednesday, and I hope you can come and play with us :) |

Hi Gab,
It happened again just now. I saw 3 "Players" so I tried to join the server, twice, and there are 2 me as well. Web-based MS says it's running boxworld-3.
Is it running any mutator other than MapVote?
We were lucky we had no problems last Wednesday. Hope either this gets fixed or we get lucky again next Wednesday :) |
