Like i40, nervousENERGY will be bringing a co-lo box to host servers off. This yeah’s model is an i5 quadcore with SSD, so we have plenty of capacity :D

We’ll have our own match servers, but as far as the i43 TF2 community goes, we think Mole and Tapley will have you guys covered, so we’re going to concentrate on public servers.

First things first – mumble – we will again be hosting a mumble server for all to use. You’ll be able to create your own channel hierachy and set up whatever permissions you need (to keep randoms from invading you, for instance). Last year both teams in the final were on our mumble! We’re hoping to get a lot of use out of it this year as well.
(top tip, it’s useless in-game, but try having 2 people put mumble into exclusive mode on the “audio input” and “audio ouput” settings pages, and have a conversation… the lack of lag is freaky, you very literally can hear people via mumble faster than you can hear them through the air)

Also, we’ll be running the mumble mimicbots – these let you relay your comms to a different channel, 90 seconds delayed. This means people watching on STV can hear your comms in sync with the gameplay.

The mumble server address will be i43.nervousenergy.co.uk – at the moment that will take you to our normal server. (or lan.nervousenergy.co.uk – whatever’s easier to remember, either will work)

Comm server – We’re going to run a standard public server, 12v12, mostly AvD maps (but with a large list of nominatable maps -map requests welcome), hlstats, laser guns, sword-swinging demomen, the usual… and of course, friendly fire is on in between rounds :D
MGE server – Warm up for your matches, and get used to not being able to blame lag when you miss your jumps ;)

Apart from that, we’re still working stuff out. What do you guys think we should run? We’re thinking of prophunt as a good thing to run, because prophunt :D but any other ideas? Answers here, or in our forums.

Servers page is http://www.nervousenergy.co.uk/i-series/i43-servers – details subject to change if we come up with better ideas :D

kk :)

A DM server would be nice, for the people who don’t like MGE. I would even say that you probably need 2 MGE servers for the times that games are not being played. Personally, I’d love to see a jump server!

What about a pyro dodgeball server? :3

our mge servers have gone through the shitter recently tbh.. we’re going to be restarting them once a day soon.

when they were restarted once a day we didnt have any complaints. ATM they are restarted as and when ‘we’ remember.

co-lo box is up!

we have mumble on i43.nervousenergy.co.uk set up, done and dusted

we have a public server at i43.nervousenergy.co.uk

we have a preliminary MGE config up on i43.nervousenergy.co.uk:27016 but the config may need tweaking

off for some food so comments please :D

nice work as usual, :)
