Sterra, that would be great, but it looks as though they charge a fee for hosting. Also, someone would surely be the admin in order to change maps etc…
9 PM PST Friday? That’s midnight here, right? Send me the IP too, I should be home by then.
I’m badly out of practice as well, but I’m used to being the bullet catcher… 
I’m made a list of email addresses of all the people interested, to keep things organized.
Quack, mikester, FDISK, D_Odds, & wei, since your email addresses aren’t available through the board, send me a mail, if you like, to be part of the list.
Of course, anyone else that’s interested may do the same!
I’d like to join in if it’s not too late. I don’t know if my sucky DSL connection is up for it, but I’d like to give it a try. 11 PM Central time? hmm…
I wouldn’t mind joining, shoot me an email (badmana@rogers.com) I don’t have counter-strike installed anymore, will update it tonight.
For the admin part that is just a matter of going into console and putting in the rcon password then what you want. As far as the fee goes I can do it once for advertising(sort of a sponsor if you will). Just post the time for it to start and I can set it up.
I’ll just set it for 9pm friday at atl-1.sparkgs.com:27015 with the password as sdmb.
If you want it at a different time I can change it.
Sterra, sounds great.
From their website, it looks like you pay by the hour. Will there be a specific time limit? Also, have you set the max players? I’d like to be optimistic and think that there’d be a good showing.
Would the east coast dopers benefit from making it an hour earlier at 8pm PST?
8pm would make it easier, but I can handle 9 as well
The timelimit can go up to 12 hours so I don’t think that that will be a problem. Maxplayers I will set to 20 and I can just leave it like that. I’ll set it to start at 8pm so people can show up earlier if they want to.
Quick question…
I haven’t played in about 3 months. I remember a new version was coming out (1.6 I think). Do I need to upgrade, or is it still in testing?
Thanks.
I MIGHT not be able to make it until a little later after 9 PST… I’m on the west coast, so it should be ok…
The current version is 1.5 so if you have that, you’re golden. When I played last night, there was some issue about WON changing their authentication IP or something like that. I did a little searching and found a fix which required altering one of the files in the valve directory. I’m not sure if this is still a problem or not, but it could impact tonight’s game.
I’d advise everyone just to connect to a game as a test run to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Sounds like a good time! If you don’t post the ip address, you can email it to me at cspellme|hotmail
Now I have to go reinstall half-life…
It’s nearing the magic hour. According to Sterra, we’ve
got a nice dedicated server, beginning at 8:00 PST.
The address is:
atl-1.sparkgs.com:27015 with “sdmb” as the password. no quotes of course.
When I put this into gamespy, it corresponds to 66.179.15.238:27015 if that’s worth anything. Don’t forget the password. Using gamespy, I entered it under properties.
Should there be any problems, you can hit me up on email or post a message in this thread.
Hope to see you there!

So is the server still up? I’d play again tonight if anyone wants.
