TWHL's Half-Life Server

We have a Half-Life Deathmatch server!

Address: twhl.oskar-lh.name

The server is located in Sweden and has been tested by Joe, Dim and Atom and game play is smooth in Europe and eastern United States. It currently runs a few of TWHL's highest rated maps. If you want a map to be on the server, write and I'll install it. Later on I'll create a web page where you can pick any HLDM map from TWHL and the server will automatically install that map. If you want admin privileges, send me your Steam ID (join a game server, write status in console, it should look like this: STEAM_0:1:23456789).

Haha, just as I was asking about that new server

Nice stuff, we should bring back sunday HLDM matches!

Since you have full control over this, I think it'd be awesome to run some long-forgotten MP mods on it every now and then (like say dedicate a week to a mod).

I'd totally go for some Specialists, or Flat-Life.

How cool! That's very nice of you, potatis.

Here are some other suggestions for some HL mods: SvenCoop(although this one is not really forgotten), BrainBread, Natural Selection.

Sunday, you say. What's a good time?

I'm definitely up for BrainBread some day. Too bad Flat-Life is Windows only. But ChickenFist was considerate enough to release the source code, so I might try compiling it myself. Flat-Life's great.

May I suggest an update? http://twhl.info/servers.php
I won't be able to get involved right now... but someday soon, hopefully.

9pm is 7am on a monday here, apparently. I think I can work with that =P

Could you put the map rotation in a folder, so we could download it?

Sunday at 9 pm ( greenwhich time, I suppose) is a bit too late for me( 11pm). It would be totally ok if it was Saturday at that time, because I don't have to get up early for school.

Could we make this at 7pm GMT?

I love playing HLDM with you guys, and as long as other people keep showing up, you can bet I'll be there every monday at 7am (my 9pm GMT) and probably any other time people try to arrange stuff.

EDIT: Completely inexperienced here. What are some useful commands we can use? Also, are you looking into getting the map rotation to work properly?

What are some useful commands we can use?

The most useful console commands for admins (I gave you admin privileges) are amxmodmenu, amx_help, amx_map, amx_cvar (changes a cvar), amx_rcon (executes a command on the server - the only way to change mp_teamplay), amx_kick, amx_ban, amx_vote (starts a vote) and gal_startvote (forces a map vote and change). For players, the most useful commands are the console command listmaps and the chat commands timeleft and rtv (if enough players write rtv in the chat, a map vote is started).

Also, are you looking into getting the map rotation to work properly?

Should be fixed now.

Could we make this at 7pm GMT?

7pm is fine by me. Is everyone interested fine with 7pm (19:00 UTC)?

Ok, thanks. So that's what that "rock the vote" thing was.

That's 5 in the morning... might be a bit more of a stretch to make it, but might make for a longer game.

Download all the maps currently on the server quickly all at once so you won't have to download between map changes:

You could set up a fast d/l directory for that.

HTTP downloading is enabled, but the server has limited bandwidth. I'm about to upgrade the up width by 1500% so soon it won't be a problem.

Yeah I actually enjoyed that map quite a bit. I think it was called dm_thehill or something like that.
