Games :: DSL As A Game Server



Kick A$$ man!

So this is running from a HD install correct?

I bet the map cycle time would be unGodly unbearable if running from a LiveDVD

FYI-Formatting ext3 does no good...DSL wont mount or use the journaling (ext3 is just ext2 with journaling) so on a reboot it wont support the error correction of the journal...just a fyi (if you could format using reiserfs 3.0 (4.0 is buggy) it will use journaling built in with the rieserfs)

Have you attempted to "rebuild" your HD install as a LiveDVD using MakeMyDSL script? (or will it work once you do a HD install)

I wonder if you could do a frugal install and install the game in a persistant "/home /opt" partition?!?

Man oh man oh man...way to go...

Also is there a server remote progy/webconfiguration tool for COD2?  Ooh ooh ooh..what about a webpage stats page using XAMPP

Ill do some research!  :)

It is a HD install, and I wondered if the EXT3 made any difference, app. not.

I would be scared to start a DVD version.

The Server has been removed from the COD2 server list, however if you hit the ` key and enter connect 24.117.24.101 and it will connect you up. It will only be running until 8 am tomorrow.

I am currently implimenting a new machine with more ram, dual cpu's and maybe an I-ram card with 4 gigs of mem. I will include your suggestions for stats page, not sure about the "/home/opt" partition. Thanks AwPhuch:)
Forgot to mention, for a beefy machine you can run several server's on the same machine.
Say a public & a passworded private server...

Copy the cod2 directory to say a cod2-, cod2-b, etc. directory, open two terminal windows and execute the server start command in the directories of each. I have started a COD1, CODUO & COD2 servers on the same pc, at the same time. It was slower than tar, but it works...Happy hunting.
Need to revise step 10 of the how todo.

10. Mount the COD2 #1 cd/dvd, then from within the setup directory copy everything to /cod2 directory. When it is done you will have several files under /cod2 (Localization.txt is the important one) and directories /cod2/main is the place where the game is stored. If you have the dvd you are done, cd version mount the next 4 cd's and copy the contents of the /setup/main dir to /cod2/main directory on the harddrive.

On the DVD there is a /setup/data/ directory, not the /setup/main directory. The contents of this directory is what you need on the harddrive under the /cod2 directory.
