So, I had forgot to post about this so it’s late, better late than never, recently been working on a server located in North America for game sever hosting, got a few games installed and a Team Speak server, setup ArmA 3 server, also got an ArmA 3 server in EU, which will be setup the same allowing users to choose which they’d rather use, once sorted and working right, they will both be listed on the ChaoticNetworks webside with stats and ip:port to enable people to join and play.
This enabling the option of better ping/latency if you wish with other players, though some might prefer to go to the other server if one is busier than the other, will just need to remember that we will not share databases over the 2 servers otherwise we could have problems with sync issues, if for whatever reason a solution arises to enable such an option, i’d certainly be waiting to look into it, but unless there was say option of like linking the two servers to allow people on either server to play in realtime, there isn’t really a viable solution.
Hopefully we don’t have too much longer to wait for an update so we can finish the setup and get them all running smoothly and up for public use, until then it’s mostly the waiting game at the moment, I even spent the time to create a fully functional management script for running on linux, to enable start/stop/restart/check/update, aswell as a script to set under cron for automated checks to ensure server is always running and if not, start the server back up as we can’t always be around to do restarts so it could end up down all day if we’re out sadly.
To add to this, we also have a Minecraft server, still working on getting overviewer and possibly one or two other plugins before this will be ready for public access, I also need to finish building the welcome area, until then it’s just a bland Minecraft server, so I do have lots of work to do in the mean time, will need to rope in some support to finish the building work and assist with plugins where I may or may not encounter issues.
Also just because we can, We’ll also have a UT99 server setup for those who may or may not enjoy the old classic, we will see about possibly adding in more games if/when there is more interest for them, would never say no to a server that will be used, ideally people would like what we offer enough to donate enabling us to expand and offer more overtime, otherwise things could get restrictive if have to continually fund out of our own pocket long time.
That is all for this post.
So, Until next time…
