Someone set up us the server...

Mythril Gear · 06-02-2001, 08:55 PM

Why doesn't THZ have any servers for Tribes 2? That's easy! Beacuse they don't own any!
To the point -
I got ahold of an old 233 mhz computer. Would it be sufficient to run a dedicated server of Tribes 2, or would i need something more along the lines of a 733????

Ghryphen · 06-02-2001, 11:10 PM

Yeah, we just havent recruited anyone with the resources yet. We have discussed it, just hard to get it organized. I have enough parts to get a 333 running, but I still dont think that is enough. I dont think that a 233 would work for too many people, what kind of connection would it run on?

MG has DSL... it wouldn't work amazingly.

Dynomutt · 06-03-2001, 11:18 AM

I think we have it figured out that we could get a server built, but the problem is an internet connection that can handle the load.

I got an spare 600MHz, the only prob is that it has an on-borad vid card

Aluscia · 06-03-2001, 02:28 PM

That wouldn't happen to be an Intel Celeron, would it? Maybe refurbished by HP? (

... Mazzy, we had the same comps)

Ghryphen · 06-03-2001, 02:54 PM

Actually for a sever, it doesnt even need a video card, or sound card. Just Case, Ram, Mobo, Cpu, Net card, Hardrive. Doesnt really need drives like floppy or cdrom either.

Aluscia · 06-03-2001, 03:33 PM

Although, for ease of setting up software, a CDROM is good, right? THey're pretty dirt cheap right now.

Maz · 06-03-2001, 03:35 PM

I'm currently using my HP which is 533, the 600 is another PC I have, but I only have an 56K connection rigth now, so thats out, but once I get my DSL, I could get one going for you guys

Ghryphen · 06-03-2001, 03:36 PM

Yeah, my point is that you could take one out of the current computer to temp set up the server then remove it. Most setup can be through networking.

Maz · 06-03-2001, 03:55 PM

Ya, but my PC already has an MB, CPU, CDROM, RAM, Floppy, onboard sound, onboard video, 56K modem, 10/100 Network card.

So has soon has I get DSL, you guys can get your permanent THZ server

Aluscia · 06-03-2001, 04:23 PM

Are you sure it won't suck the life out of your bandwidth? Won't it screw around with your internet connections if you're perma-hosting a game on a server on the same internet connection?

Maz · 06-03-2001, 05:55 PM

It's gonna suck up my upload for sure, but all I need is the download and it's gonna be passworded for sure, and the only one on it are gonna be you guysand you don't more then 15 members anyways.

Dynomutt · 06-03-2001, 07:52 PM

i think it would be a good temporary solution, but when we start scrimin' and get like 30 or more peeps on there.. then well need something with a little more juice in the connection area.

Mobius · 06-04-2001, 03:10 AM

Got bored at work and decided to forum whore a bit.

Mazzy what is your DSL connection gonna be? I'm running 768k x 768k right now and I have a 466mhz celeron spare puter sitting around that I use periodicly. I could easily run a server but we found out with T1 that it isn't very stable with over 6 people.

One more question do you need cd to host a server?
