Gaming on ResNet

[wookiee]

Anyone interested in gaming over ResNet? Quake III, Counter-strike, Day of Defeat, Battlezone...

Maybe Wired could organise something along those lines if enough people email details? try emailing events@wired.st-and.ac.uk maybe?

How about UT, or for people who believe multiplayer gameing doesn't necessarily mean FPS how about Worms World Party or Links2001?

Quake 3 for me, as you well know.

Do I really need to email details?

We had up to 10 people paying Unreal Tournament regularly last year all from uni hall, and there's at least 4 still here plus new people that have expressed an interest so i'm (we're) up for organised gaming

we also have quake III, counterstrike and day of defeat.

Interested in

Quake 3
Counter-Strike
Day of defeat

Others would also be good, but I don't have them (yet).

Ok said the above on other thread. We need to decide which thread we are going to use as posting twice will get confusing and be a pain.

Anyone fancy suggesting times they would wanna play Q3 at? I'm a busy girl doing extra honours credits this semester, so it needs to be planned. Oh, and I volunteer my iMac as server, if anyone wants to play.

so far, i can only play Quake within my hall,when i try to play with ppl in other halls,no joy.
Just me or is that the case?

[TheGamesMaster]

You can quake 3 play with people in other halls but you need to enter there ip address to do so, their server's just won't show up in your server list thats all.

What sort of errors do you get? If it says about protocol version you aren't using the same quake 3 version as the server.

Can someone think up a blurb for a poster to put up in our respective halls of residences for this tournament?

Doh - clicked before I'd finished posting


Gotta be decent - and I can't be arsed :-p

[blaggy]

"At the end of the 21st century, the enfeabled race of men where all but extinct. Year after year of war after war had left their society in ruins and their planet nought but a burnt rock. As the centuries turned, it seemed nothing could save mankind from itself, even after all their mistakes, self-destructive urges still surged through their veins. But with one twist, they where saved.
It began in the defunct mineral pits of New Africa, the destitute former miners had long since run out of things to fight for, or so it had seemed. Once again they took up their tools and began to hunt each other, not for food, not for money, this time they played for sport.
As news of the new sport spread, and more and more of the desperate, brave and stupid took part, mankind's final craze was born. Those few remaining who had wealth began to sponsor the games, providing new, advanced weaponry and more intricate arenas in which death could be dealt for the entertainment of the masses.
Now the tournament has reached it's final run, and only the hallowed halls of St Andrews remain.
Will you fight?
Will you survive?
Will your hall be the last bastien of civilised death in man's decaying universe?

Or will your last rites be writ in blood, across the walls of
QUAKE III"

Bit long for a poster?
I just wish I had a copy of Q3 I could play with now :7(

[LeopardSkinQueen]

Oh, that is great! I like that muchly

And lengthy

Gotta be short and to the point

E.g.

HEY YOU!!! (big text)

Are you an online gamer who is now unable to play due to the firewall?
Did you know you could play through the Resnet network?

....
Then something on the tournament and these boards (with a disclaimer near the bottom saying something that it's not an ITS or Wired organised event.)

[LeopardSkinQueen]

Why an inter-hall competition? Couldn't we just form teams within the uni, but not necessarily in the same hall?

[Greebo]

*shrugs* like I said it was an idea - doesn't need to be inter-hall...

[EviLTwiN]

i don't know what's best but just thought i should add that we have at least 5 people in uni-hall that could play

Don't really know how many people out here in Gatty will be playing. And I want to play. Only people I know who would be up for it are in other halls.

[TheGamesMaster]

If we organise ourselves into small teams of say 3 or 4?

Then do some sort of team deathmatch/ctf or maybe a league...

[wookiee]

Sounds fine by me. I'm sure we could manage a Uni Hall/New Hall "friendly" regardless.......
