Hey all,
A couple buddies and myself are planning on playing some renegade later on today. I wanna set my other PC up as an FDS for us to play on, since it would be local, and I have a pretty considerable bandwith to play with (2.5 mbps download, 1024 kbps upload) so I could make a pretty reasonably sized game.
Is it any different than before when we ran on WOL? What about keycodes, is there any way to get one for an FDS anymore?
Thanks!
Russ

I remember your server back from a long time ago, 1024kbps should be enough for a nice 16 or a little warpy 20 lol
|
Errrr I would disagree. Maybe 4-8...

I used to run a 16 player non-dedicated server all the time  I had a regular client base, and no one ever complained about lag unless they had some rediculously high ping, lol
Dedicated I found I was good to 20 - 22 players depending on if there was someone else on the network doing something, any more than that and things started to get a bit laggy, lol
Unfortunately, things kinda fell apart today, half of us either couldn't find our CDs, or they were damaged in some way  Took a run to town, and apparantly no one holds our beloved game in stock anymore

Well at most it would be 60-70kbps per client because it's such a small game so no. I used to host a perfect 8 on 350kbps upload

Also, the serials no longer matter, so use whatever you want.

yep that's correct...cable or dsl would matter though since cable sometimes reaches higher speeds and sometimes it's slower at least that's the way what cables here. DSL = like always the same + the 15 overhead you get.

You don't have to do anything different to host your server on XWIS. Also, the serials no longer matter, so use whatever you want.
|
So we use the same fds installer as for WOL, make up a serial because it doesn't matter, and then can add BR or NR?
|
I think you need a valid serial to get through the installer, but you could just select to configure as "Gamespy" and change the server.ini when you're done.
I'm the bawss.

So change server.ini to WOL or XWIS?
And by valid serial, that means the fds not game?

Thank you Sir!
Got Ren re-installed, renguard in place and back in business!
Much fun! It wasn't much fun when all I did all the time was test scripts and not just play anymore
Question though, where does a guy find renguard approved reticles, sounds etc?
I wanna change my reticle to the hunter's reticle, change the silenced pistol to the sound of the Halo 1 pistol, and change the miniguns to the sound of the minigun on the warthog in Halo....

Sounds, reticles and all other skins that do not have an extension of .w3d are allowed by RenGuard. The w3e skins need an approval, therefore only the approved ones work. Feel free to change your reticle and sounds, I've changed my reticle several times.
