[15:59:51] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> is it always linux or is there a choice?
[16:00:20] <Spleenus> there is a choice of windows but I don't have a copy of it at the moment
[16:00:28] <Spleenus> did you want windows?
[16:01:02] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> i think so, will need to check with clan mates
[16:01:08] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> but would make admin much easier
[16:01:21] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> you normally just use XP or something?
[16:01:26] <Spleenus> yes
[16:01:35] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> term services or vnc?

[16:01:45] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> k
[16:01:55] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> i reckoon that would be the preferable option if possible
[16:02:00] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> were lookin at keeping this long term
[16:02:12] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> makes admin a little easier for the non linux people
[16:02:15] <Spleenus> ok, I will chase up getting a copy of windows
[16:02:19] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> excellent
[16:02:40] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> as regards game installs, do we normally go through you as with mod installs on our xcyurrent box?

[16:06:01] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> k
[16:06:10] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> we only have 1 server?
[16:06:11] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> atm
[16:06:13] <Spleenus> and then you want to know how much it would cost to bring it to 3 months
[16:06:16] <Spleenus> sorry, 1 server
[16:06:16] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> k
[16:06:21] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> perfect

[16:30:29] <|SFH|Demon|Serv> k

As recieved this morning from Ultra-Serve...

Hi,

The request that I sent out for payment was worked out as follows to bring your renewal upto the old date of 24^th June. As that is two months away 2/3 of your existing rental is credited which is 91.20 * 2/3 = £60.80.

The rental for a superserver for two months at quarterly prices is £160 (£80 a month is how much is paid per month if taken out quarterly and as such next payment due on 24^th June will be £240). As such the payment is simply £160 - £60.80 = £99.20

I have finished setting the servers up and transferred your settings across. What you will need to do is to is to specify hostnames and rcon passwords for the servers on server2 and server3. I will also need to finish my documentation for the administration of our Linux superservers which I will get done tomorrow [Monday].

The new IP address of your box is 84.18.199.115 and as such the server IP’s will be as follows:

84.18.199.115:27015 – server1 with config moved over

84.18.199.115:27016 – server2 with vanilla CS 1.6

84.18.199.115:27017 – server3 with vanilla cs:source installation

If you require any extra servers installed I can easily do that for you so just let us know. Also remember that server branding is entirely up to you as that’s one of the benefits of a superserver. Any queries that you have let me know by IRC or email (preferable). There will be a separate confirmation email sent out detailing the logins for each server.

Lastly I will keep the old server up for a few more days if you want to advertise the new IP so if you let me know on that front.

Other than that I hope that you have fun gaming on your superserver J

Regards,

Darren Sutton

Gama - could you mod the cfg on the old server with the new IP address int he hostname today?

Without picking a fight,...... do we have to have TWO rats servers?

Can I suggest we have one with just rats on it and another with just stock maps which we play matches on. I'm pretty bored of rats. I thought we could bulk up the rats rotation with some different ones, keeping the old ones too. Then on the other server have aztec, dust, dust2, inferno, nuke, the ones we compete on.

Or is there already another plan in place

ps. havent actually looked at the 1.6 server rotations, I merely noticed they are both branded SFH rats servers.
