We're going to be doing the first of (hopefully) a handful of Requiem gamenights for testing purposes this friday. I'll post the downlaod link later.

Lets try to get around 5v5 going, post if you're interested and able to attend so we can get a good idea of how many games to run at once I guess.

additionally other customs might happen too depending on interest DOWNLOAD LINK http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3332789/Requiem_Alpha1.zip

Sounds cool. I love the updated look of your forerunner scenery and can't wait to test this.

This will be happening on the official Modacity Gamenight server for those wondering, so the pings and performance should be sublime!

I'll be here.

Edit:
Don't suppose we could get an ETA on release, I'll be doing some art homework, this way I could take a break and be there on time.

Why are you laughing at fact? The Modacity servers are excellent, just as good as any paid servers I've played in.

My ping to the Modacity servers is about ~70% higher than my ping to GameServers's servers located in the same area (NJ?). Also:

I'm not sure what that's about. :/

My ping is similar, not sure why your ISP is sucking so bad.

The Verizon hops are the ones increasing the latency the most.

King, post a tracert (or whatever you want to call that) to a GameServers server in NJ. To me, it looks like your ISP is actually to blame for their routing. While it's not horrible routing, they actually spend hops 3 through 9 routing you to Verizon's fiber backbone in Dallas, TX. Once on the backbone, it makes no stops until it reaches NJ. The increase in ping isn't abnormal for that, since it's covering the largest distance out of all the hops (20ms is perfect for ping).

So for whatever reason, your route is really stupid for getting onto Verizon's network.

Verizon: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=mo&daddr=dfw+to:phl&hl=en&geocode=Fd1JQwId58GG-il94yJI1ebAhzHD_yzEgZPT2Q%3BFcyz9QEd8ac3-iHxfi6mHmSYeA%3BFe9yYAIdkMiD-yEgxN9m6suqyQ&mra=ls&sll=36.295523,-86.061418&sspn=13.376874,28.256836&ie=UTF8&ll=36.879621,-84.682617&spn=13.274261,45&t=h&z=5

Blame crappy routing tables.

I don't know whether I can even attend tonight.

Just reinstalled windows yesterday, got all my files back up, then it locked itself up claiming it wasn't legit, I might join in on my tablet, idk.

But yeah unless I can sort that out, wow, fuck these retarded anti piracy measures :S

anyway, here's the map link.

That's a lot of plasma rifles!

I'll try to be on tonight, no promises though.

Still, any word on a time the server will be up tonight? Or like, an actual time we can all meet?

I threw freelancer a message, 4 hours ago, but he hasn't responded yet. I guess around 7-9 pm EST (-5)

I'll play if I can just message reminding me!

8 PM EST will be the official start of the gamenight. I'd like at least an hour or so of full server gameplay so if you can't force yourself to sit down and play CE for an hour or so with us don't come early. I say don't come early because I'll probably throw the server up an hour or so early.

Cortexian
April 8th, 2011, 05:48 PM
Okay, there will be two servers setup:

Modacity - GAMENIGHT
Modacity - GAMENIGHT 2

They're both 10 players servers because the map is to small for decent gameplay with over that amount. We may try 16 player gameplay later, but for now it's just going to me 10 players. Join the "GAMENIGHT" server first, if it's full join the "GAMENIGHT 2" server. Priority is the "GAMENIGHT" server.

Also, version switch has been disabled for these servers. They will only appear on 1.09.

you know it would probably help if we were able to get the time sorted more than 5 hours before!

Why are you laughing at fact? The Modacity servers are excellent, just as good as any paid servers I've played in. Well, I've too had lots of connection issues with Modacity servers and usually I don't have any problems with North American servers. Also the server's ping doesn't show up on game lobby?
