SDMB Unreal Tournament Tournament (PC Gaming thread)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
21

I just upgraded my PC to kick ass ststus:

Athlon 1.1GHz
256 MB PC133 RAM
GeForce256 (I know that’s a bit old but I’ve been waiting for the high drool factor GeForce 3 that just came out…now I just need to figure how I’ll get $600).

I also have DSL which may be too slow for serious server hosting. I’m supposedly 400 down and 300 up with fairly decent ping times.

All of that said I’ve never hosted my own server. I don’t know why but I’ve just never bothered with it (figured I let someone else sweat that one out). So, if Doubleclick or anyone else wants to lead me through that process I’m game (pun intended).

Obviously we’d need to work through that ahead of time so let me know when would be good to bang our way through it.

DAMN! I’ll be htere in a few months… =)

A DSL server will work fine…I used to have DSL and didn’t have any probs.

It’s not hard at all.
Start UT and click on Multiplayer>Start Multiplayer Game.
From there, select the mutators, and maps you want to use and click Start.

Thats it =)

Proper Dedicated servers are a bit different. You could just click on the “Dedicated” button and go from there, but the best way is to use a command line…a little trickier to set up.

(I hope you understand…we want this Tournament to be big!)
