I'm still waiting for more info, but I just wanted you guys/gals/jedi to know that it's a 12-player server with a tracker.

I'll fill in the details as I get 'em.

Schmokin'!!!

I'll hafta check and see if my PayPal acct is still active. If not I'll start another one and get your info.

Thx man!     

Ok, kids...here's the IP addy:

69.57.137.161

Use port # 28070, if it asks.
(or just type in 69.57.137.161:28070 )

As of right now, JKC and I are the admins...but we don't know what the heck we're doing yet. Please be patient as we try to figure things out.

(In other words, just expect basic functionality for the first few weeks, until we get familiarized with the admin stuff).

NOTES FOR SERVER CONTRIBUTORS
As far as contributing to the server fund, it's not necessary to establish a PayPal account (although that would make things handy on my end). If you would prefer to send contributions via snail-mail (checks or money orders), then contact me. My email addy is in my profile (the same email addy can be used for PayPal contributions, too...just be sure to put "[MA]JK2 server" in the subject or notes).

With payments, please include your forum nickname and your real name, as well as clearly marking [MA]JK2 Server somewhere in the transaction. I do a bit of trading and selling on ebay, so that would be a big help to me for keeping track of server payments.



Thanks, and enjoy!

Outstanding!  I'm pretty sure the admin functions can be handled in-game via the console (Shift-~) for "g_disable ..." commands and the like for force powers and weapons, etc.  I could be wrong, but this is the impression I get from talking with admins of other servers.

Anyways, off to check out the [MA]JK2 server!  (We should come with a cool name for it, like "[MA] Academy" or "Jedi Amphitheater" only, you know, good ones instead of those two ...  )

Well, I checked it out, and it is indeed cool.  Coupla things, though: you can't add any bots (error message is "You can only add bots as the server"), and voting is disabled.

Without voting I don't know how we're going to play any non-FFA game or change maps without an admin on.  Unless the games get cycled, in which case we may have a situation where the server is serving up a game of Jedi Master and no one wants to play that, or something.

We may want to have a minimum of 2 players on, so that the server fills up one or both slots with a bot.  Or we could just add the capability to add bots as we like.

Other than that, it's great.

yeah yeah, im working on it

atually, anytime i get the server to let me on my game crashes, so ill try later today to get that stuff changed

sweet!

i wish i could check it out, but im a bit indisposed at the moment. i

Please allow me to reiterate: ...

Oh, I know, I didn't mean to complain that it wasn't set up right yet, just to bring up issues that we could all talk about to see how we wanted to work them once the admins had the time.  I should have made that clear.  Like the guy who just makes the high school team, I'm just happy to be there.

Sounds like, even more importantly, we need to get you a working copy of the game, and get Chewie's game to not crash when she logs on.  Only then will the Force be in balance... .   

LOL!! You guys aint gonna believe this but the MOH server was running on a 2Ghz Celeron . They just now got it upgraded to a Dual Xeon . If they were paying as much as I think I heard for that, man they were getting ripped. Would never pay for a Celeron server .

Hooray for the server! Now we can really kick butt.
Anyway, I finally have internet access. I am using my Dad's old laptop, so there's no way I'm playing JK2 out here on 56k. So... I might be able to play in the next two weeks at my friend's house, and he has broadband, which would be sweet.

Might be worth digging out my copy of JK2 now

All done!
JK2 map/model picture archive
Putting together the Red team, Blue team, and default skins, 128 unique appearances are possible with these models.
Yes, that's in addition to the game's standard models.

Some of the pictures don't display the correct team colors, but the actual in-game skins are color-coded.

As far as setting them up on a server, there's pretty much no configuration required; no special "serverpackage" lines to add to your ini files so people connecting can actually see them like in UT.
Just throw them in the "base" folder and you're good to go.

I know this is coming on a bit fast, but I've been using them on my LAN for a few months now and they are a ton of fun.
The ONE reason I can think of to NOT put them on is the *ahem* large download (137 MB uncompressed).
If someone with Stuffit Deluxe could turn that into a .bz2 file or something, we could probably squeeze it down quite a bit.
I'm not even sure that the server would require the client to have the models installed to be able to connect and play.

oops.

sorry about being kind of idle on this the last few days. we got the server tuesday night, i was having problems with JKII going crashy crashy and stuff, so i say to myself that ill do it wensday.

wensday morning i go out to the DMV and get my driving permit (again ), come home from that stupid place of ridicilously long lines later in the day, test out my 1337 driving skillz and end up having an incident with my car being romantically attracted to a plam tree, so the car runs up and gives the tree a hug and wraps itself around the poor tree, and i guess the car wanted to get rid of us by throwing its airbags at us because i guess my mom and i were screaming too loud and we ruined its moment or something. since then mom and i have been doing random things like, looking at new cars and stuff. so yeah, ive been kind of out if it the last few days. sorry for my absence in this critical point in our history
and to make it worse, im going to my cabin in like, 15 mins, so i still wont be able to work on getting JKII working up there, because although we have the net, its like, hte sux, because its 56k and were like, 30 miles from the nearest city, givign me uber lag.
