Freon server

[Piglet]

g2.miasma.org:5777

Not running many interesting maps yet - but worth a play if you can get some players on it.

Stand by teammates to thaw them.

So u host it and u let your computer running all day ?

[Piglet]

It's on the same physical machine as the ONS/vCTF using a different core.

Just fixed the redirect so that the downloads are at proper speed. Next: check resurrect combo

wwss by default?

[tirofijo!!]

mmm sorry to ask, what is freon? a gametype?

[qubit]

Freon is a variation of the game type TAM (Team Deathmatch). Here‘s an explanation including some videos. It may be that you need to install Freon mode first.

Thanks again! u are becoming my teacher  jeje 
buuuuuuuuuuuut how do i install it?

[qubit]

No problem, I like to help, if I can.

A long time ago, I downloaded this file and it works. It includes a help folder with instructions. It's not difficult to install, but if you still need help, let me know.

[Piglet]

Argh! I need to do some more work to know how to export a mesh from one package to another. I'll leave the server off for now

[tirofijo!!]

hiiiii.... well i have it now, but in the "help" file there is no installation guide, i remember it was easy, just put the things on folder textures-sounds-system-etc in the same folders of the game, nothing out of the matrix right? =)

OK - it's up again, with some updated/amended code.

You can join the server and you'll get it into cache which is probably the safest thing as I'm likely to be updating code from time to time if people play.

If you want to try offline, just unzip this into your ut2004/system directory. If you get a mismatch error when you join the server it means I've updated something - so delete the files from your system directory.

Maps and config still to be sorted out.

The main .u file is where someone's pulled together a number of enhancements and bug fixes to the original Freon code (including quite a bit of my code). The second .u file is more of my code they didn't add, but I want in there. It subclasses the  big .u and then continues where that left off. Both are needed to play the cuddles_freon that is on the server.

Thanks Piglet.

Tirofijo doesn't need to download the file I recommended?

By downloading from your Dropbox, I've got two freon categories. Overall, now I have three.

Playing offline works, but online takes a long time to load the maps. Normally I have a 50mbit/s connection. Today, for a Friday night it is only 34 mbit/s.
For 0.1% DL, it currently takes 2.25 seconds. Just in case that this info helps you somehow.

[Piglet]

Ahhh...yes. I need to prune the maplist or add them to the redirect. I'll look into this later today

[Piglet]

Should be fixed now.

Just tested. Download took only a few seconds. Thanks for fixing.
