Title: Game - Soldat
Post by: Ghost on July 31, 2005, 02:59:44 pm: First, the website: //www.soldat.pl

Does anyone else play this? If enough people play, we could get someone with a higher end machine than myself(the one I play Soldat on is from 1998.. no joke; everything's the same) could set up a dedicated server and people from HLP could play against each other.

It's a fun game, but Gunbound is better.

Post by: Ghost on July 31, 2005, 03:32:31 pm: I haven't played Gunbound; people tell me it's good, but I'll stick with what I'm skilled at.

Say, where do you live... That's exactly the same thing my class would do last year... We played soldat as well as the demo version of MOH:AA.

Post by: Janos on August 01, 2005, 02:13:09 am: OK, someone needs to set up a dedicated HLP-only server. Then we can release our anger and pressure and stuff by rugering the **** out of each other :D

Soldat is awesome, quite often my #1 multiplayer game of choice because it requires pure skill and luck.

Post by: Ghost on August 01, 2005, 05:15:59 am: Damn you, Janos. I'm no good with the Ruger and it seems that everyone else is, and henceforth I keep getting killed by it. I myself prefer either the Desert Eagles, the Barret, or the M79.

I've got an active server running.

Name: HLP Dedicated Server
Pass: Bastion (I'm assuming it's not case sensitive)..
IP: 217.155.66.254

Let me know how it goes. I'm downloading a couple of torrents at a cap of 24k/s max so it shouldn't slow up too much. But if it's laggy let me know and I'll shut the torrents down.

If you want any modifications to the way it's set up - let me know :)

Post by: Cold Fusion on August 01, 2005, 06:39:42 am: Heh, yeah I play Soldat. In fact I'm the head admin of the official league. :D

Also, in case you didn't know, there's going to be a new version released soon - probably in a few weeks.

Post by: Ghost on August 01, 2005, 11:16:51 am: Argh, this is poo. I can't see it. I put in the address and put in the password, but I can't connect to the server. This happens too often for my liking... damn.

[color=66ff00]I tried connecting myself with no luck. May be the firewall.

Post by: Fineus on August 01, 2005, 11:36:01 am: Can you actually still see it? I shut it down about an hour ago.. nobody was using it and I figured I could use the extra bandwidth :)
Title: Game - Soldat
Post by: Martinus on August 01, 2005, 11:40:37 am: [color=66ff00]Nah, it just kept attempting to connect. I would have assumed it would time out after about a minute if it was unable to reach a server.

Post by: Ghost on August 01, 2005, 11:51:47 am: @Kal: I looked earlier, right after you posted it this morning, and I couldn't see it... I didn't have time to keep trying, because I had to go to Driver's Ed.

@Maeg: yeah, I have the firewall problem too.. trouble is, I can't figure out how to deactivate it for stuff like this; it's my dads system and the main thing is installed on the good computer. It irritates me to no end.

[color=66ff00]I'd actually assumed that it may have been a problem on Kalfireth's end, not yours but as he said, nobody was using the server so he shut it down.

Post by: Ghost on August 01, 2005, 12:47:17 pm: Well, yeah, he did say that... but I have trouble hosting games. I start one and nobody outside of my network can see it, despite the fact that it's set to "internet" and "register in lobby server" is checked.

Post by: Ghost on August 01, 2005, 06:36:21 pm: Apologies for double posting, but I thought this deserved peoples attention(at least, those here who play soldat): http://lobby.soldat.pl:13073/

It's a constantly refreshing list of servers. You click it and it'll start up Soldat joining that server, and I'm fairly certain it'll show all servers, even those you don't see (even without filters) in the ingame server list.

Post by: Deepblue on August 02, 2005, 09:33:40 am: Another note to people playing soldat. Make sure you check out some of the mods. The Counter-Strike mod and the WW2 mod are both quite excellent.
