Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

wANCO tHE sANE · Mar 30, 2002, 06:00 PM

I'm just curious... which online servers do you all hang out at? Is there some type of MacNN server for UT players? Or if not, I was thinking of having this "Annual MacNN UT Championship" or something like that, just for fun. The winners of this championship could be posted somewhere in the MacNN page. Or is there something like this already exist? I don't know, I just wanted to know.

GlobalNomad · Mar 30, 2002, 06:46 PM

I would own you all. "Fjear my mac"

Archangel · Mar 30, 2002, 08:50 PM

I haven't played in so long. . .I'm waiting for the full carbonization to be finished.

If we could find a server, I would probably be up for a little inter-varsity action.

GK · Mar 30, 2002, 09:13 PM

Would be a great idea. I haven;t played in a while, but it would great to frag some fellow Macnn'ers.

wANCO tHE sANE · Mar 30, 2002, 09:23 PM

If enough people want to, maybe someone, maybe me, can set up a UT server for MacNN'ers. But I'm nto sure if I'm able to do it, my firewall is kind of buggy. I'll see when I have the time or something..

juanvaldes · Mar 30, 2002, 09:56 PM

I'd love to play, sure cheerios would love to show off her new iMac

But we can't host with our firewall. Not sure if the carbon preview will be capable of playing.

carbon preview is fine. I play it netplay and LANplay with my roommates and friends here at U of I all the time. its great fun.

yeah, I'd be up for some UTing, although lately I've been playing more RTCW test 2. oh well...same premise I suppose.

I've had a number of problems with it in the past :-/ But I'll still give it a go

mrfoxxman · Apr 2, 2002, 02:32 PM

Where do you all Play Online???? I have installed Quake 3 and UT 2.5 Beta, and when I goto the "PLAY ONLINE" button, and press refresh list I never get any servers listed. Is this normal??? Whats UP?

G Barnett · Apr 2, 2002, 02:41 PM

Oooh, I'd be up for this. 'Course, my Impact Hammer skills are probably a wee bit rusty.

It's all about the impact hammer and translocator.

wANCO tHE sANE · Apr 2, 2002, 06:02 PM

Translocator is essential to a sniper... other than the sniper rifle...

so lets get this organized. This upcoming weekend, is everyone free saturday afternoon or evening? And someone needs to host, I would, but that damn firewall is stopping me.

What time zones are we all in? I'm in US pacific. I suck at UT, but it's fun though... I don't have a lot of very good maps also, i don't know where to download the good ones like Dawn's Monument.

GK · Apr 3, 2002, 01:42 AM

EST
saturday would be great
Any server ????

GlobalNomad · Apr 3, 2002, 02:19 AM

Somebody should setup a server and call it team Macnn

.

I would do it but i'm behind a hardware firewall and I can't do port forwading on it.

BobK · Apr 3, 2002, 01:45 PM

I want to frag the rumor guys, who are always bitching and moaning.

...of course!

Sorry guys but Saturday I am *going* to a LAN party to frag my friends

Don't worry it's academic and all, even a official ACM group activity

Langdon · Apr 3, 2002, 06:20 PM

I can host. I have a 10 Megabit line that will be able to host plenty of people.
I cannot do this weekend, however. I will be at a wedding. So lets take a poll. when and what time. I am in the central timezone and evenings (after 7 PM) are best for me.

BUT I think we need to be organized. I think someone should host the files that will be needed so people can be ready ahead of time. This way no one has to download Maps and Mods as we play.

wANCO tHE sANE · Apr 3, 2002, 09:36 PM

Cool, okay... what maps, mutators, do we want?

As for maps, I always like the big levels.... the bathroom level to be exact... I also like Dawn's Monument. But I don't know where to download these. But I know the bathroom map can be downloaded here: http://gfyclan.com/maps.htm

Captain Obvious · Apr 3, 2002, 11:04 PM

what version of UT will this be?
Original or GOTY

Hmm... Well, I don't have GOTY

Archangel · Apr 4, 2002, 12:54 AM

I'm PST. I'd like to play either straight CTF or LMS. I say the standard classic maps are fine. Basically all the official add on packs from epic. GotY would be possible. I'm not very familiar w/ it. Weekends are good for me. Wednesday nights too.

I really wish I could host, but stupid university has a big ole' nasty firewall.

juanvaldes · Apr 4, 2002, 02:37 AM

Well I do.

But I am fairly sure that you can update to GOTY level and we should play tother fine.

Langdon · Apr 4, 2002, 06:35 PM

Who wants to help me give it a test run tonight.. standard maps.
10PM CST Please private message me and I will give you the IP address
. No emails please.

GAME OVER, Thanks to those who played.
IM or PM me if you want in next time. Please post suggestions

We ended it right after you left so more people might have tried but I had changed the IP address by then. So is this game plan still viable? Any one with a plan or day and time?

GK · Apr 8, 2002, 01:17 PM

To get more players, you may want to try to post in the lounge.

How about next friday or the weekend ?

[/LIST]

Langdon · Apr 8, 2002, 06:14 PM

OK fine. But I can only do one day due to classwork and the fact I need to go out to the bars.

Sat evening 7-9 PM CST -- OR -- Sunday Night 10-12 PM CST

Please post the day that is best for you and I will choose based on the most people able to make it. And also if you want to add a map add the link and I will let you know which will be added to the server. I will only add 4 in addition to the ones already included in the basic and and ex pack. Map vote will be on during the game.
Here is one of the 4: http://kokorowish.com/Escherland.zip

Hey guys, if i'm playing, you CAN'T lose! c'mon!!

edit: erk, forgot... Sat probably better, although either day fine!!

Cipher13 · Apr 9, 2002, 06:03 AM

I'm in... fear my ping!

GK · Apr 9, 2002, 07:51 AM

I'm in as well. Either date is ok with me.

xyber233 · Apr 9, 2002, 08:59 AM

Dang, 3 days before my cable modem gets installed. Oh well, maybe I'll compete with my l33t AOL connection.

marusin · Apr 9, 2002, 09:24 AM

I'm in for Sunday! I've been thinking all week about how I want to play some UT in a LAN-Party type of setting... This is the next best thing...

Mike (who's cable modem is being installed on Saturday and hopes everything is Coolio Iglacious)

palmberg · Apr 9, 2002, 11:05 AM

Hmm. Now I have a reason to update my UT to the Carbon preview. But a question: I assume I need to actually have a copy of UT installed prior to updating to the carbon release? That's a problem, since I don't have Classic running on my iBook. I guess I could just play on my iMac, though I haven't fired it up in quite a while.

Anyone have any clues as to whether I can install the Carbon preview without having a full install of a previous version? I do have the disc, of course...maybe that's all I'll need to perform the update.

PS--I suck at UT and Q3A, but I actually kind of enjoy getting fragged, so it's all good.

juanvaldes · Apr 9, 2002, 02:33 PM

Of course I'm in.

I would say Sat, that still leaves sunday for doing homework and cramming for a test.

Agasthya · Apr 9, 2002, 03:08 PM

Actually, I can't make it...I just found out that I'm going to be going home this weekend and I'm not gonna play UT on my 56k modem at home

Have fun though.

wANCO tHE sANE · Apr 9, 2002, 05:44 PM

I vote for Sat...

maroma · Apr 9, 2002, 11:09 PM

COUNT ME IN!!

I can play either Sat. or Sun. And if I could make a map request, I'd like Ancient if we're playing CTF.

I have had bad luck with all of the carbonized previews, so I'll have to boot back to 9 (first time in months!

)

And regarding installing the carbonized preview without the full install...no, you MUST have the full install in order to run the carbonized preview. The preview files are no more than an app, and 2 .ini files that you drag to your full install folder.

Adam Betts · Apr 11, 2002, 06:40 PM

Hey! I could serve the game. I have dedicated server in the imac and it have the lowest ping you could find

Let me know if you need the server so I'll set it up

Ahhh, not lower then the 100 megabit line I am going to be using.

Anyway, I will be doing it on Saturday at the time I said above. I will private message everyone who said they wanted to play later tonight... so check your messages. If anyone else wants in please let me know by Saturday afternoon. I will turn on the AIM screen name an hour before the game if anyone wants to reach me.

Thanks

xyber233 · Apr 12, 2002, 08:54 AM

My cable is installed

!!! w00t! I love broadband. I am in.

Please add Bathroom Map to your UT game. Download it from here http://gfyclan.com/maps.htm

juanvaldes · Apr 13, 2002, 05:38 PM

Got the new map. I'm lucky though, just woke up at 3 and remembered '...UT!' and up I am.

Langdon · Apr 13, 2002, 06:49 PM

I will leave the server running until 12:30 CST if anyone wants to use it. But do not post the IP.
Thanks....

juanvaldes · Apr 14, 2002, 05:44 PM

Well it was fun but next time we better make sure all of those flakes who said they would play really do.

xyber233 · Apr 15, 2002, 08:49 AM

So what was the total number of people who showed up

? 4?

marusin · Apr 15, 2002, 04:34 PM

I'm sorry I couldn't make it but my cable modem wasn't installed until that point (and my in-laws were in town)...

Next time I'll take you all on!

juanvaldes · Apr 15, 2002, 09:26 PM

Something like that. Someone else IM'ed me to play, not sure where you went off to. Demonhood (I think?) got in but ended up just fighting bots.

yeah...too many people flaked....next time though!

cheerios · Apr 16, 2002, 12:45 AM

I tried, and it caused the death of the firedamaged iMac!! i'm in next time, when the new one is back w/ a new and correctly functioning logic board!!

When's it gonna be? Same IP? same maps? the one w/ hte artist posters looked cool, if HUGE!

from watching over Juans shoulder i think i'm gonna be fodder for everyone, but oh well
