Sheap-Hosted Games (benatar.snurgle.org)

Oddly enough, I'm now quite comfortable with 24QH on that game.

Hmm, it looks like Sheap is MIA atm unfortunately. ;(

So has anybody been able to contact him though any means for the Last several weeks? His nick is stil Online on IRC but he is not really there. If he can't continue to run his server for some reason perhaps he could send out game files, so we could get another host and continue our games?

Patience, my friends.

I have heard the distributed groaning and taken the matter up with sheap. I now have access to all the games he is running on benatar and a limited degree of control. So your games are not doomed.

Unfortunately, I am currently COMPLETELY SWAMPED at work and likely to remain so through till monday. After that I should be able to help out with the server administration.

Ok. I have a bit of free time now so I can manage your game if you are having trouble on sheap's server.

I am not particuarly experienced with dom2 server commandlines and whatnot so if someone was willing to give me a primer that would be excellent. Otherwise PM me or post your gripes in this thread and I will attempt to address them

Thank you for taking the matter in your hands Ironhawk.

When you'll have a chance, please take a look at "Karan_game". I think it is frozen atm. Please give it a frienfly kick in the butt. It should be set to 48h host. No quikchost for now, since the game have been down for 2-3 weeks now and it'll take timne to get players up to speed, based upon my previous experience with it.

Thanks again for your efforts, most appreciated.

Regards,
Stormbinder

I believe I have now restarted KaranGame, 48hr host, no quickhost. Check and see.

Hi Ironhawk,

please set Return of the Rejects(Port 2000) to 48 hours quickhost.
Thanks in advance.

Ironhawk,

Thanks for starting the game up again. I was wondering if you could disable the automatic hosting for the moment. It may take a little time to let everyone know that the game is going again.

Quickhost could be turned on, but without a timer. This way we will have more time to get a hold of all the players. Once everything is accounted for we could switch it back to a 48 hour QH.

Thanks again for taking this task over! It is greatly appreciated.
