Creating First Dedicated Server in Chile - Some Questions

(1/2) > >>

dieglhix:
Hi there, I absolutely love this game.

I am creating a 16-player server and would like to mod it but I am yet to find some things on here:

- Quake sounds (Headshot, Dominating, Hattrick) etc. Where can I find the script and files?

- GeoID? (When someone connects and shows city and country) Is it integrated in gesource server or it is a script?

- Game Mode votation and Map votation, is it a script or embedded in the gesource server?

- Any public HTTP server for GE fast download of media and maps?


Only that for the moment. Any server admin can give another suggestion for a new GE:S server starter? I used to create custom CS 1.5 servers with weird mods (like adding HL monster in-game so I have some experience.. but that was like 15 years ago and I was like 13...)

Graslu:
-Please please please don't add Quake Sounds. They add a lot of files for players to download the first time they login to your server and it'll be really slow and annoying if you don't have the FastDL server, and even if you do, it'll be annoying as it's something players didn't ask for.

-As for the city and country that's usually a stats plugin, but I'm sure there's a standalone somewhere.

-You can get the map vote plugin here - http://team.gesHL2.com/serverplugins/GESMapChooserV5.zip

-There's no free public FastDL server and you'll have to rent your own.

I'm going to second what Graslu said. I (and a lot of other people) play this mod because it's GoldenEye, and we like GoldenEye. Those sounds take me out of GoldenEye (and into a game I never even played and couldn't care less about), and I can't stand when they're thrown into a server config.

The servers that have them infuriate me until I figure out a way to turn them off. I get it, some people like them. But a lot of people don't. Especially me. And other people I know who are regulars.

The sounds in the mod are just fine the way they are. I don't care what you do client-side... but setting up the server to use modded sounds just makes it less enjoyable for a lot of us. There's nothing fun about hearing a voice yelling HEADSHOT and DOMINATING every 4 seconds.

Same goes for unnecessarily modded weapon skins...

dieglhix:
Fair enough, but what about using the Quake script but WITHOUT sounds? So people realise when someone got slapped and having the message displayed. Too tacky, still?

I've found the MapChooser, thanks for the link.

- The Game Mode vote is a different script?

- The Stats plugin works globally or only serverwide? Possible to run it without a web site? Does have to run on a local server DB or can it be used on a public global DB?

- Possible to use Stats and people to say /stats or /rank in game for querying? As I have never seen this feature in GE:S

I know you guys are in the Discord but I guess this forum is better so others can find answers in the future.

soupcan:
Any sort of voting is a separate plugin.

The Quake sounds plugin lets you set the default setting for new players. If you must have them, please default to off.

Connect Announce can be used for displaying players' approximate location: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=77306

For stats, I think you don't need a website for HLX:CE but you do need a server for the database and the listener that logs all the events to the database. I'm sure there's other plugins that don't need any other servers (I may have seen a few servers with this over the years). As you probably guessed from this response, there are no global stats and stats are collected only by the individual communities.
