temporary MRS online!

[Fuzz_Ball]

MEAT is on vacation for more than a week and I offered to put together a temp server for his stuff.
I'm sorry but I'm a little behind on this project.
I hope to get something online either tonight or tomorrow.
We'd been planning this for days and I thought the 'go live' date was the 7th.
Oops.
Will update you all when it's ready!
Sorry for any inconvenience.

OK Fuzz - If there is anything I can help you with, just ask me!
(but then you are very excellent on your server admin skills for sure)

Oh, MRS Players - I am sure Fuzz_Ball will have a temp Mrs. server up and going for you shortly, but, you are ALL More than Welcome to play CMM for the time being.
NO hard feelings at all.
Most ALL of you play there anyway.
(except umonodo - he has trouble for some reason)
Thanks Fuzz_Ball for playing a map last night with us on CMM - Great fun!

Folks, READ Fuzz_Ball's post just above for information on Mrs. and a temporary solution.

[Fuzz_Ball]

Thanks, Hook, I MAY reach out if I need your help.
I hope it'll go together smoothly.
I have all the neccessary parts.

Yep that was a cool map I hadn 't seen before. What was it called?
The next map seemed to be stuck on redirect or I'd have played a few more.

Oh that map you played with us last night on CMM was "DM-SkyLights" by Terraniux

The Next map was: "DM-SlashHollow_v2_HookFix" (same map that MRS has that I fixed for him)

Those maps are especially Fun using either The "HOWITZER" or The "THOMPSON" deemer versions, as they do not have a smoke trail.
Very fast and hard to see where the gall-blamed missile is coming from LOL

With the Auto Redirect, try waiting a bit for it to compress and then start the DL (sometimes it has to redo this)
Also, if that doesn't work, try cancelling (F10), then select (double click) the server again from the list in the browser and connect again. (don't use the reconnect from the menu)
That usually does it.
Auto redirect sometimes has its faults, but most of the time makes up for it with Lightening Fast DLs.

OK Fuzz! - Carry on!

Patiently waiting

Well, Shooooooooot.
Reviving the old desktop was a breeze after I was able to reset the admin password, replace the CMOS battery and reconnect the system drive.
But MEAT didn't send me nearly enough of his files to run even a handful of maps.

I hope it'll go together smoothly.
I have all the neccessary parts.

yeah - riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Luckily, I never 'throw anything away'!
It's a long process of piecing this back together from old collections and cleaned cache stores.
And it's going well. Slowly.

Regretfully, it's not ready tonight and I need to get to work early.
Once it's working (one way or another) and MEAT resumes control of his server, I may turn this into some kind of sniper / DM thing - who knows

Sorry again but this stuff will come together in the next few days.

Just to remind you one thing I'm sure you know (as an admin): more a server is closed longer and more the usual players are slow to be back.
Also it's the only game installed on my pc LOL
Cheers

Umo,

Don't cryyyyyyyyy.
Baby gonna cry.

I'm making progress with the files and will work on getting the server visible to the world hopefully tonight!
Keep an eye out for the new IP soon!

I knew I was going through withdrawls when I saw the Herminski server and nearly joined in.......not nearly the excitement I can have generated when playing here.

As I have had it said to me many times.....don't quit your day job Fuzzball, unless of course you want to do get this done for us a bit sooner....LOL

YOU are the server God

[Fuzz_Ball]

Update:

It seems more stable now.
I played several maps & they downloaded fine.
Sometimes switching maps does nothing.
Keep reconnecting. It eventually goes through.

If you want, try

75.171.16.60:7757


More work on it tomorrow night including more maps!
email me if you get in but I can't guarantee anything at this time.
