Help Help wanted....

[Deebs]

Ok I am setting up some gameservers for one of my nephews and want some help in testing that it works. I know some of you will have access to children games being old and therefore a parent.

First game I want to test is shitcraft, fuck, minecraft. As much as you might want to play for hours on end I just need at least 2 of you ingame at the same time or your own kids as I don't have a client to test with.

So any takers willing to help me out?

Game	TCP Port	UDP Port	Single user connected	Multiple users connected
AmongUs	25565	25565
Minecraft Bedrock Edition	19132	19132
Quake3Arena	28015	28015	Yes, @Carbon60, @Scouse
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source	27015
Team Fortress 2	27015
Kaboom	7777
Sons Of The Forest	8766
OpenRA - Red Alert	2226
OpenRA - Tiberium Dawn	2226
Node	7778	7778
Ricochet	27015	27015

1. Some ports will need to be changed
2. Not all games will listen on both TCP and UDP, I will confirm when I get some time tomorrow

Could play some Q3A tomorrow night after the missus has gone to bed @Deebs?

Whaddaya need?

 

[Deebs]

All I need is to make sure you can connect to the games correctly, that's it for now. So should be very quick testing

I'll have to see if I can find the installation files!

 

[Deebs]

Wakey wakey you slackers. Let me know when you are available please. As mentioned need at least two for a proper test but one will do for now to test connectivity.

/me looks under the stairs for some high heel boots, an apron, duster and fuckall else in an effort to get some help....

Can't find the installation files for Q3A @Deebs. I might buy a copy off CDkeys or something later tho.

 

[Scouse]

Hmmmm. It appears I've got Among Us but I've never played it. So let me know what you need dude

 

[Deebs]

Ok, I will give you the server details in a PM, but will update my first messages with the ports for each game. Thanks so much.

 

[Deebs]

So @Scouse and anyone else are you available to test pretty please???

Tried to attach to your among us server, but I need to put in some sort of game code?

Never played it

 

[Scouse]

Oh, and downloading Q3A now...

 

[Deebs]

Yeh will look at Among Us, cannot find anywhere for a code, Q3A is ready, shout on IRC when installed. Ta muchly.

The UI is not Windows 11 friendly

Sorry, my boy plays Minecraft online but he does it on Playstation because he's a feral child.

Oh the shame of it. Can you not join MC servers other than Sony's stuff?

 

[Deebs]

Anyone got any of the games installed listed in the first post?? Or recommendations for multiplayer games for the younguns???

 

[Deebs]

BUMP!!

Pretty please love you long time and I will throw in @Jupitus for a week....

 

[BloodOmen]

I don't have any of them installed at present, just formatted today/installed some new bits - as for recommendations, Terraria is quite good multiplayer, its like minecraft but 2D/has more rpg elements to it.

 

[Deebs]

Ah ta, that is on the list so will install that. You best get installing those games to help me out, that is your punishment for me inheriting your sleeping habits or lack thereof.

 

[Deebs]

/bump

Want to do some more testing..... Fucking slackers....

 

[Overdriven]

£2,500. Can fit you in next sprint.

 

[Deebs]

Hehe, had a busy day today, was taken out this morning for a few hours and then Dad was here. So any help offered for zero cost as I am now poor

 

[Scouse]

You need @Tom for TF2.

I bet he has an amazing selection of hats

 

[Deebs]

Sniff, anyone? No need to play, just see if you can connect to the game itself at this point. Pretty please.

You made me reinstall TF2. Unfortunately it didn't start, it seems to instantly crash. Tried all the usual "fixes", dug into years old forum posts, but still nothing worked. Eventually I resorted to raising a fault ticket with Valve. After several emails back and forth they came back with "we have no idea what the problem is, we can't help you, ticket closed, bye".

Hehe, most likely resolution or video drivers? Does TF2 have those weird startup parameters like some of the older iD software games?
