SDMB Online Gaming and Clans

I can’t remember the IP of my machine, you can always put in counterstrike.gamer-vision.com in the IP field and it should find it without a problem. That entry isn’t setup yet, so you’ll get an error currently, but it’ll be ready this evening when the server is active.

Also, I was hoping to find a few people in here who like to play things like EverQuest or Dark Age of Camelot. Ok, I’m actually looking for players in DAoC as it’s a lot of fun and much better with a few people to group with.

I guess it’ll be the SDMB Gaming Club.

ok. well, repost when you have your server up, please.

I played eq but verant customer service pissed me off to the point that I had to leave, I am not getting another life sucking game until shadowbane comes out.

I will go looking for halflife

and I agree ff should be on unless there is no admin present, to many assholes think its fun to run around rampantly tking.

Hey, I pre-orded DAoC but it hasn’t gotten here yet, what server are you gonna be playing on because I’m still not sure, contact me at 55552298 (icq) if you want to start up a DAoC guild or something.

When you make the server, it will tell you your IP usually, like say “Adding master server ...**:27015” I think it says your ip there somewhere. Anyways whats the name of the server?

holy crap I feel sorry for anyone doing this on dialup…from scratch the cs mod is a 2 hour download for me on cable, of course Im only getting it at 15-20kps so I could have just grabbed a crappy server but DAMN! 3 hours from install to being able to play is a long time.

maybe youll see me tonight, Diabalein is my name, tribes 1 is my game so be nice for a few minutes at least…maybe I’ll log on as someone else, like imacsvirgindonthurtmenomore or something

eh, it’s not that much of a problem on dialup.

get a filesplitter to speed (and protect) the download, and leave it on all night. if it mixes up halfway through, you can restart where you left off in the morning, so it downloads while you’re at work/school.

that’s how i did it…

it wont let me play…it tells me I cant finish the conection or some crap. I also got some error along the lines of WSA(something I cant quite remember)NOTSOCK

I ran 2 patches from sierra and installed the “full cs 1.3” install patch thingy. any suggestions?

Well, the Opposing Forces CD did have an update for Halflife, so I was able to get it running. Until I tried to download CS, at which point I was informed that I needed to download another HalfLife update, so I did, and installed it, and now it’s very not happy with me. Looks like it’s time to uninstall and get a fresh start. Oh, and the CS file is going to take 5 hours to download. Over DSL. Yay.

I haven’t played CS in ages and have since rebuilt my pc but this sounds like fun so I’m in. I’ll download the CS mod now.
Wow! 100megs?! Thank God for cable. It took less than 10 minutes. :slight_smile:

apperantly there is an issue with won verification and new cd keys…in other words you may not be able to play at all if you picked it up recently. hell even if you got it a while ago you could have problems.

<-------------------is very very pised off atm.

blech I enjoy the hell out of getting a new game, spending 6 hours on dl’s and trouble shooting only to find out its some retard who cant put up redundant servers while moving.
gonna try and get sierra to give out a working cd key for the duration of this bs and see if that works…

If you have an ATI video card you will have to down load an extra patch to play. This may be your problem rather than the CD-Key issue.

Ogre and I play UT Tactical Ops mod - well, he does currently and I will once again when I get settled into the house I am buying and find out if broadband is available.

For those who play, you’ll see us and a few others out in games as Clan PANDA. Always accepting new members with ridiculous names too.

{PANDA}FaiwyPwincess at your service (name inspired by our own inimitable FairyPrincessKitty.) I figure, “who’d be rat bastard enough to frag a faiwy pwincess?” You’d be surprised.

Plus it gets laughs. :slight_smile:

Remember, PANDA stands for luuuuuuuv.

Urban Terror is very similar to Counterstrike, except with updated graphics (the levels look AMAZING). However, it is still in the Beta stages, so there’s some awkwardness to the physics (people still seem to “glide” over the ground instead of actually walking on it), and the sound effects are reall soft and muffled (instead of having the loud, cracking gunshots associated with Counterstrike). But there’re a lot of very interesting dynamics in UT that aren’t in CT.

I use Urban Terror as a “backup” for whenever I get tired of Counterstrike.

Hm, I’d be up for BGII, UT, Q3, StarCraft, and I guess I’m willing to learn CS. I’m assuming that counterstrike.com would be the place to learn a few tactics and stuff before jumping in?

I have a gforce not ati, its a sudden and common problem in the last day or 2. of course I got the damn game last night.
alot of peeps with new cd’s can’t play at all.

KK… http://www.counter-strike.net/

things are back up and running. was almost fun dying all night
