Public Server Release

Well thanks to Reality Gaming, our new great server host, MB's tireless work last night and over the past week, and my.. money :D. I can finally say that we have a Public Server ready to release. MB's made a few adjustments from last time, with the ATOM servers, and I'll have atleast one new player skin working in the map, with further sexy updates to come.

The IP address of our new public server is: 202.60.91.62:27030
It will be opened tonight at 8pm.

If you aren't sure what to do with the IP to get into the server, you just go into Steam, then to the 'Servers', then 'Favorites' and click the 'Add a Server' button at the bottom. Then type in our IP address in full in that box, and you should have a new server in your Favorites.

I can announce that we also have the league server up, and almost fully functional. It will be open, but locked as of next Saturday.
In the meantime, get training, or if you aren't in a team, but want one, talk to Hectik or Alpha Sucks about trialing for their almost filled teams.

New Season's Fixture List

Well in order to keep a little interest remaining in the League while it's at it's down point, Messageboy has approved the release of the fixture list for the coming season.

As you can probably tell, we've decided to drop Silva completely. They gave us way too many problems to be considered reliable. So we are looking at possibilities with AuzGaming, EGN and SGN. They all seem to be quality servers, I've gotten great pings on all of them, so I can't see a problem there.

I can also say that we are quite close to getting the servers up.. finally. Over the coming week we'll keep you updated, and we should be able to get something for you by the end of next week.

The Drama Continues

Well.. you guessed it. Once again, Silva have suprised us. More problems have arisen from the server, this time with the MANI admin plugin. Nothing Bob or I tried would work to get it fully functional. We took the same steps as used in ATOM, and it failed to load. So the server is down at the moment, as a last resort, we tried to reset it, and it hasn't come back since. So, in our efforts to find value in a server, I guess we've failed.

I'm not sure if the problems with Silva will be solved, so we are looking into other options for a server at the moment. One of the options is another company called Zero Signal. Who offer decent looking game servers as well. But a new option we are looking into is just renting a Dedicated Server. This would mean we would be able to run everything in our ACSSL servers, giving us almost total control and the ability to create as many servers as we like, within the limitations of the Dedicated Server we choose. Currently our best bet seems to be OzServers.com.au, but we need to look into their packages further and other options first.

So, I must apologise for any false hope for the moment, but Silva is down indefinitely.

Problem Solved.. but Server Delay

Well... once again Silva suprise us with their quality of hosting, I was performing the maintainence on the server, to get it back the way it was, and had completed it, so I went to reset the server from rcon, and the entire thing crashed.

We've fixed the problem now, the server's back up, but our files are gone.. -_-

This means I regrettably have to say, the server won't be online until tomorrow night, 24th Feburary 2007.
I apologise for this delay, but I really don't see what the problem is with the server, luckily when I was in it earlier today trying to get it active, I got pings of about 30 less than in GS. So we do have something to look forward to.

Public Server Opening

Well lads, and tangy, the server is finally up. It'll be fully functional as of 11pm tonight, at the moment, I'm still uploading the necessary files to get the server back the way it was with ATOM. This means that it's not working properly right now, so I've locked it until 11pm.

The server IP address is: 202.131.89.226:27043

If you aren't sure what to do with the IP to get into the server, you just go into Steam, then to the Counter-Strike: Source Servers, then Favourites and click the, Add a Server button at the bottom. Then type in our IP address in full in that box, and you should have a new server in your Favourites.

At long last, it's up ^^
I definitely look forward to seeing you in the server tonight, tomorrow and in the future.
