Don't worry, I'll be doing a lot of that. I've also got a server for my website with massive bandwidth that I may eventually use to host HL 24/7. But I've got a cable connection (average 3mbps!) on my home computer...I'll be online with HL2 a lot.

So that means.. HL2 for us?

u takin about the beta or final?

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 9:24 pm

The comercial release. I'll be playing HL Source and HL2. Wasn't ever much of a CS fan, but I'll have to give CS Source a try.

Can't wait for HL:S:biggrin: CS:S is keeping me busy though..

I can't wait for hl2, but I HAVE to buy it, there is no "download it and get a cdkey" because of steam. During the installation you will be required to go online and register a steam account no matter what. No internet connection? Well you're just SOL. So expect to purchase HL2 if you want to play it.

3mips lol..... Well how do you make a server on your domain??

Also 3mip upload or just download? Cable is known for it's download not upload which is what a server needs

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:23 am

No, no. I own webspace on a real web server. I host a web site off it. I've got 40GB bandwidth on the web server. That's both ways. up- and download.That's what I'll be hosting with once I have time to set it up. But in the meantime, I'll use my cable connection which should be enough.

I still have very fast upload...I put huge files on my web server, and that doesn't take as long as a sub 500 kbps connection should.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:33 am

yah 500kbps should be fine for a 5-6 player match. But anything bigger then that i would imagine it would lag.

I have 40gb as well. Thats why im asking. How are you going to control the HL2 server when the webserver is not in your house?

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:46 am

I dunno...I just figured I'd work that out. I mean...there has to be a way...doesn't there?

I'll still be able to access and run whatever HL2 Server executable there is from my home computer. It's just like a network. Just upload and double click.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:53 am

yah i guess. But it's not like you have a desktop. or a start up for that matter. You just have space on a hard drive and you can access it. Though you can show html live. So, i dunno i will do a search and let you know

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:56 am

Hmmm...now that I think of it....I'm not even sure if the thing is windows based. Hmmm...well once I've GOT HL2 I'll figure it out...or figure out it can't be figured out...

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:58 am

lol stop being confusing

Most servers are a.)unix based that load filesb.)java boxes that load files

So, it's possible i just don't know how to acess the excutible without downloading it.

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 6:00 am

Okayy...I don't know a lot about the server itself...so I'm being educated here. What I do know is HTML, Javascript, and that I am bored and have a website. I'm not all that knowlegable about the specifics of these types of things. I'm more of a hardware guy.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 6:02 am

no no i meen the game server. What the game uses to host a game. Not the actual server itself. The server itself depends on the host. Could be windows,unix, or linux

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 6:07 am

OH! Okay. I am not confused. That is my mantra. Sometimes it works.

I am not confused...I am not confused...I am not confused...I am not confused...I am not confused...I am not confused...I am not confused...

EDIT: I am not really as dumb/ignorant as this makes me look. I hope.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 6:37 pm

im saying the web server could be unix,windows, or linux based. Yes, i know linux is a form of unix blah blah.

The actual server software that comes with HL2 could be java or unix based. NWN was java based while quake 3 was unix type based

Get on aim, newb.

Post by **StrangeLove** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 7:39 am

like someone said earlier, you will be required to log onto steam and register your CDkey... just to play singleplayer, no point in downloading it
