NS Beta 5

[ferret]

Will someone please test ns.gamehavoc.com:27015 for me? I can query the server and everything looks alright, but I can't connect from work so don't know if its really working.

AMX should be active, although there are problems (Currently affecting the CS 1.6 server as well) that will result in no one having admin. :) I will be putting in a temporary fix for that shortly.

I tried to connect to ns.gamehavoc.com:27015 and no luck. I then connected to the spurtyspub server and was successful. My conneciton to ns.gamehavoc.com:27015 resulted in no load during the precache. It appears as though it can connect to the server and I can see it in my favorites, but still it fails during final loading.

Mutter.

Give another try. I've changed a setting that was non-default. Its running stock now except for having metamod loaded.

[PeregrineFalcon]

still no go...same problem

[ferret]

Give it another go. I changed the startup map from ns_bast to co_faceoff. Next I'll remove metamod and try one last time before I quit for now :P

There may be an issue with the mapcycle and ns_bast, plus bast is a very heavy CPU user and has been trouble in the past. (The mapcycle specifies map minplayers and maxplayers. . ie, if there aren't 8 or more players, map x doesn't get rotated in.. Bast has min/max of 14/28)

[PeregrineFalcon]

nope still no good

[ferret]

That time something different happened, the server crashed. I just barely caught it in the monitor, let me add some debugging stuff.

[ferret]

Once more please. I've got a lot of logging watching it now :P

Joy of joys. Okay, let me try turning off Metamod. Give it one last go.

Fixed. NS seems to have issues with the MOTD being over a certain length.

I have 2 questions

1) Has the game gotten better, not nessacrily as good as when it came out, but better then hte last 2 updates?

2) is co still played over the original ns mode? (I hate co only servers...sooo boring)
