OcUK Public CSS server

[Frosti]

I'm sure cs_embassy was first. That was then changed to estate i think.

 

[nydryl]

Until this server gets off the ground all the OcUK CS:S will be more than welcome to play with me and my clan in our public server:

81.19.219.33:27025

Has a nice rotation with voting options, would be good to get an OcUK server though!

 

[wildman]

If this server was set up I would deffinat3ly play on it all the time. I am not a particularly good player but I;d much rather play with people from this online community than the usual wtfpwn I R l33t crowd I meet on near enough evry other public server I have played on

I might actually be able to get better this way

It would laso be nice if cs_italy could be one of the maps on the rotation

 

[Rackerz]

Sounds good, there needs to be admins on the server though, people who can be trusted. 66 tick is ok, but 75 is good. 100 is too high, depending on how many slots you want the server to be.

 

[nydryl]

100tick public servers are usually terrible quality. 75 tick is generally safest.

 

[Shicky]

After speaking with them, it looks most likely it will be 20slot server, probably 75tickrate, no less than this at least. As you all seem to want i'll stick on a mod or 2 for map selections and wont have anything too crappy on the server. Any maps u want to see on it, say on here, i'll have a look and then decide whether to stick it in the rotation or not.

As for the server name, OcUK community server would be fine, wouldnt it? Too avoid pimpage as said earlier.

Any ideas for when you'd prefer the 'launch night' to be? Was thinking about 7-8pm over the next week or so.

Might also recruit one or two admins from here if ppl are interested, i'll get back to you on that. And if theres problems with a hacker and no admins are present, ppl can always pop on our channel on IRC and we'll quickly boot them off.

Anything else im missing?

Thanks for the great response guys

Sounds cool to me.

I'm not fussed really with maps, rotation with voting 5 mins before end would work imo.

All the dust2 haters, I think it should still be on the list as most ppl like to play it once in a while.

As already mentioned I'm more than happy to admin the server if needed (mani probs best), I'm active too and idling #teamocuk as I speak (or is there another?)

Hmmm, sounds like a good idea, the 'community' and constant Dust/Dust2 repetition (I hate endless repetition, drives me round the corner with boredom) drove me right off CSS after a few years, before that I used to play for the Milk Bandits clan (we weren't big but we were on Enemy Down, they might still be for all I know), as an intermediate player (I dont think I was that good, but I wasnt a novice - and I hate my wireless for what it did to my connection ).

A decent rotation with some of the lesser played maps, and with a votemap function would be nice, especially if it was decent tickrate so its at least fairly accurate. One of the problems I used to find when playing on a lot of servers rather than just one/two was that due to different tickrates, and accuracy/lag of the server, sometimes you'd almost have to relearn guns each time you changed server, as they could handle so much differently depending on server conditions, which could kinda suck some of the fun out of the game, over an extended period of time.

I'd actually be tempted to play again a bit if this happened, now I'm actually starting to finally lose interest in WoW, aside from raiding (which I've cut down on now too).

If Dust/Dust2/Office were on the map list, I think they should be on map vote only, as after having seen them become the most common maps over the last 2 years, they're usually a complete server turn off for me now. I still sometimes enjoy Office, but Dust1/2 and Office to a lesser degree are so overplayed now its really sucked a lot of the life out the game.

It's been a while now though, so I cant actually remember a lot of the names of maps I used to enjoy, but Im sure people here can suggest a decent rotation, thats not the same old constant dust/dust2/office, perhaps all the official ones, bar the aforementioned overplayed ones, and a few of the better, community recommended ones.

75 tick sounds fine, its high enough rates can be set properly to suit our adsl connections and to avoid a sh** load of bulletlag and dodgy hitboxes, but not so high as its likely to cause issues for the server when its busy.

@ Shimmy, I agree it should be on the server, but only as a vote. 2/3 of all servers out there are Dust servers now and its killed the game to me, and a lot of others I know who used to play. Im not even sure to be 100% honest it should be on the server, as theres hundreds out there for people who just want to play dust.

-Edit

I just remembered that I absolutely loathed cbble (cobble) with a loathing. Hate that map, really really do.

tOcUK, was apart of them a few years ago

Count me in for becoming a regular on the server. I run about 10-15 servers myself, so if you need any help setting it up hit me up

 

[nydryl]

I'd be about on it regularly also.

 

[Dingleberry88]

The rank mod (HLStats?) would be good.

 

[LeftfieldTilt]

Agreed ^

I'll be an admin if you need one

Sounds good. 18-20 slot is perfect. I find anymore people and it gets a bit unmanageable, especially on the smaller maps.
The usual default maps plus (i dunno if they have remakes/source versions of all of these... the betas, the full releases and source have all megerd into one in my brain). Most of these i wouldn't want in the rotation, just there to vote.

- Vertigo
- Tundra
- Oilrig

- aim_ak_colt (??)

Sounds fine to me.

I take it you haven't joined the OcUK steam community? I announced a CS:S night this Sunday at 8:30. Seems like the perfect occasion for a launch.

Might also recruit one or two admins from here if ppl are interested, i'll get back to you on that. And if theres problems with a hacker and no admins are present, ppl can always pop on our channel on IRC and we'll quickly boot them off.

This is essential. We also need to get a few more admins for the Community group. Of the 3, i am the only one organising anything. The more events, the better attended they should become and also it means we can diversify in to other games that i don't play such as UT and such like. Maybe i can make a thread for people to apply for admin of the community if interested and you can do the same for the server (though there needs to be some overlap with people otherwise a community night could end up without any admin!)

Anything else im missing?

I don't think so

Thanks for the great response guys

No problem. Thanks for the very generous offer. It is very much appreciated.

 

[prUnE]

Sounds great. I usually play GunGame but normal style is still a lot of fun. I'll pop on once it's up.

 

[benjo]

I'll definatly play here often It's great fun finding people from OcUK on public servers

 

[Steve09]

I'm looking for a new place to play, our server went today.
I enjoy playing all maps (especially Office and Dust2), normal style.

 

[Oddw1re]

Sounds great. I usually play GunGame but normal style is still a lot of fun. I'll pop on once it's up.

 

[Wayn0r]

be interesting to see how many ocuk regs these days are as good as the old guys when there was a 'real' ocuk clan

 

[Shicky]

That Sunday night launch, say 8pm sound good to people?
