Yup today I become 20 for the 40th time.

My ol.. joints may ache from time to time, but I can still find times when I am up for a game of D3.

Nosferatu

Yes, do so, please show more than the 300+ mass shootings so far this year that have not been stopped by a citizen in self defense. Too be fair to WoodChip something like that did indeed just happen. "Police laud the actions of a man who killed a shooter at an Indiana mall" https://www.np...

Nosferatu

I wouldn't mind both hosting and participating.

It would give me a chance to really test out my new more powerful cable internet.

One of my servers is always a CTF. Its currently running Aquarius if that is OK, or please suggest a map.

Nosferatu

Sorry for the extended outage on my servers yesterday. I had a major problem with my cable company which started with lightning destroying my cable box. Turns out I was on a legacy service package and their new boxes just wouldn't work. I wound up having to replace both my cable TV box and my cable ...

This game tracker lists servers that are online...

There is a patched version of Vortex which will use tsetsefly: http://www.slyclan.de/vortex/Vortex.exe

Nosferatu

Ooops. Sorry.

I didn't notice there was a small power outage yesterday and I am just now noticing my servers are off line.

Ill bring them back up in a few minutes.

Nosferatu

There is a new version of Fedora out so either today or next weekend,
there will be a time when my servers are out for 4 or 5 hours, so I can run the upgrade.

EDIT: Server update is now completed.

Nosferatu

SORRY. Sorry.

I couldn't help myself.

Nosferatu

Here is a blast from the past...

Nosferatu

Sorry of the outages today.

Intense winds in the area caused 2 power outages.

Nosferatu

That is good news.

I never took the descent.cx entry out of my tracker file so mine should be listed over there as well.

Nosferatu

A couple more while I am thinking about them.

I always liked GNRs version of Hair of The Dog.

Here is one I have been getting into lately

Nosferatu

I have always used nglide and everything has always been smooth and bug free. But I do think nglide has become abandonware and I think I could get better graphics with dgvoodoo2. So I have been experimenting with using dgvoodoo2 lately. Unfortunately I have never once been able to get dfvoodoo2 to r...

How the heck have I forgotten the quintessential ACDC video game tune...

Nosferatu

Just a note.

I am going to be traveling to a relatives house for Christmas.

If there is a problem with my servers, I wont be able to do anything about it for a couple days.

Nosferatu

Hey no problem Do_Checkor. As one servops guy to another I know that feeling all too well.

Nosferatu

I have no idea if you read these forums but on the chance you see this.

Welcome.

And I am glad to see others besides me and Do_Checkor putting up servers.

Nosferatu

How about Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory
(A little defeatist but probably still good for a game background)

Nosferatu

Its upgrade time again.

There is a new version of Fedora linux (35)

Some weekend in the next few weeks, my servers will come down for several hours for the upgrade.

EDIT: I have the updates running. Servers will be off line for several hours.

EDIT: Updated complete and servers back on line.

Nosferatu

Oh ya, how about some GOT epicness..

Short, but can easily be looped obviously.

Nosferatu

FWIW, I really have never had many problems at all with NetGear products. (disclosure I have no connection to NetGear at all. I just like their products) I like to use my cable supplied modem because I also have internet phone through them but I have that setup as a pass through and use a NetGear ro...

Nosferatu

OMG those 3 Julin-K tunes are just awesome.

First time I have heard of that group.

I definitely will have to use those as a gaming background now and again.

Nosferatu

Another classical great for game background...

O Fortuna:

Nosferatu

It turned out to be a complete nothing of a storm.

Didn't even flood my basement.

Nosferatu

I don't suspect very high winds since I live far enough inland for those to be dissipated.

But I could get a very significant flooding event right here.

Even though it usually never goes well with video games, occasionally I like listening to country.

Here is one of my more recent favorite.
(Ya I know country is not exactly liked by everyone)

Nosferatu

All of those are pretty awesome. Your right, the first 6 sound like they were made to be game background music. I think my favorite was Mind In A Box. Although Below the Deep And Dreamless Sleep is a little too Guar for my tastes. Still pretty cool. I finally was able to dig up an older one that I l...

Nosferatu

Cool, I listened to both of those. (Well only the 1 track on the first one) and they both would work great as background music in a game. I like a lot of different stuff as well, (except for maybe MOST rap, not all) I even like classical and there are a couple there that work well. https://www.youtu...

Nosferatu

A while back I tried to necro an old thread to try and get a music discussion going. :P So instead I would like to start a new thread just to list out any tunes anyone has found themselves listening to recently. Anything will do but (while gaming) is preferred. Obviously the VERY first thing that sp...

Nosferatu

FWIW, I am still hanging around. As long as here is a active tracker out there (tsetsefly.de) I'll keep my "Ari's Stable" servers up and running. I know DO_CHECKOR is around and still runs his servers, but I don't know if he plays any more.

Nosferatu

I run mine on a 4 hour turn over schedule with no ill effects.

But running servers too long does have an effect.

If you see "double spawns" (one weapon right on top of another weapon), its a sure sign the server needs restarting badly.

Nosferatu

I personally have a kind of a weird schedule. I work second shift 2pm Eastern to 10:30pm Eastern Sunday through Thursday. You usually can find me hanging around a BOZ server after 11pm or so, beating the snot out of the bots. :P On Fridays and Saturdays I might or might not be online pretty much any...

Nosferatu

Yay.

Hope to slay (ummm) see you in some server in a BP sometime soon.

Nosferatu

Since Fedora 34 has been out for a while, I want to get the server upgraded at some point. I always watch to make sure no one is using it. So if you see my servers go missing either tomorrow or next Friday or Saturday, they should come back in a few hours. UPDATE: The update to Fedora 34 is now comp...

Nosferatu

Just wondered if your using a WIN10 machine and if so have you ever considered setting the connection to metered?

If you do that, Windows doesn't auto update and leaves updates up to you.

https://www.howtogeek.com/226722/HOW-WH ... INDOWS-10/

Just a FWIW.

Nosferatu

Did the machine reboot for updates again and not bring the servers back like before?

Looks like they are off line again.

Nosferatu

Is TSETSEFLY down?

EDIT: Looks like its back up now.

Nosferatu

I had forgotten I bookmarked this a while back.

Took a lot of working through search engines to find it.

https://sectorgame.com/descentfiles/?di ... escent%203

I don't know about new maps though. I know it has the one mission that I ever created.

Nosferatu

Have you checked the BIOS version? ASUS says the latest and greatest for that computer is version 312 dated 2020/11/05 One of the notes is "Improve System Stability". I still think it kind of sounds like either a capacitor issue on the mobo which if it is then your totally Fed. Or its a po...

Nosferatu

In case anyone is curious on the machine on which I run the servers. First of all its very old crappy hardware. But Descent3 servers do not need much hardware horse power at all to run so its fine. I run 4 servers on this machine and it barely pushes a third of the processor. I could not care less a...
