I would like to go ahead and get the ball rolling on a second CSS server. Seeing as how the primary server is now full most of the normal gaming hours, I think a second server is warranted. The trouble comes in deciding what kind of server we want.
At this time we are simply discussing options and opinions. Voting will be held later based on the discusions.
Right now we have the following options:
Deathmatch
Gungame
Zombie Infection
Zombie Riot
Surf
DeathRun
Deathmatch – Instant respawn on normal and custom maps.
Gungame – We all know what this is. I’d like to try this again using the config from a known populated server. Will NOT be like the last time we tried this.
Zombie Infection – Everyone on the same team. One picked randomly to start as a zombie and he knifes to infect others.
Zombie Riot – “What this plugin does is change the objective of any map into one thing: the annhilation of every zombie in sight. The zombies are basically bots with a new model, modified health, and modified speed. There are different levels of play, or “days.” Level options are defined in levels.txt, there you can set the amount of zombies the humans must kill, and how much extra HP each zombie will receive. If the humans manage to kill the zombies required for the round, the game will advance to the next level. If the humans are defeated then it will backtrack a day.”
Surf – Those who can, love it. Those who can’t, hate it.
Deathrun – 2-3 Ts are given control over a set of traps sprawled along an obstacle course that the CTs have to get through. Shockingly addictive, TAG has 2 servers for this mod that are 60-70% full most of the time.
I personally would like to see a gungame. I think it would be the easiest to populate and the least taxing on the server.

sk3? hahahave my vote on a 24/7 sk server
only after we get that tron upgrade. which now gives me another thread to bump
reverse order gungame (meaning you start with the para and go down to knife) is the best thing out there. it’s a TON of fun and can keep a server populated at all times. that has my vote

surf, death run, or…. i like the idea… 24/7 SK3 WEEEE!!!… on second thought no… it would get old quick so numero uno would be RPG deathmatch surf mod… i’ve seen those full 24/7

sk3? haha+1000000
anyway, i say we give this deathrun a try. if that falls through, i say we do a reverse gungame mod.
as cool as zombie riot sounds, i will wait and get my zombie killing addiction out when left 4 dead comes out in a couple months. In that case I will have to vote…. surf. nah j/k give me gungame!

I dunno… can’t we just add more slots to the server? I’m boring I know but doesn’t anyone
think that this could permanently split up the C:SS community? I’m not really sure I like that
idea… :crying_anim:
adding more slots to a server is bad. with more than 12v12 it is too insane and no longer becomes fun. believe me, i’ve played on plenty of servers with over 24 slots and it is awful 99% of the time when its full
i thnk 2 reg servs is a bad idea… having 2 different ones means more growth and more variety
the only problem is that you will need people to play the extra serv often to foster teh growths

You said you would play on the CoD4 server too, poser…hey now don’t get me mixed up in this…
a gungame server or a normal server would be great but no to the zombie riot that mod sucks huge ballz . and actuly another reg server set up to redirect the extra peeps to the other server on connect if the main serve is full would help to populate a 2nd source server and the nice part is the redirect option is already in the options
I will not run redirects. I would rather the gungame fail than send people who intend to play in a regular server into one they didn’t want.

ummm master no one said redirect from a normal server to a gun game server . I was pointing out something that adam had done before and it worked out but on this one we could redirect those that joined a full server to one that could hold them
source cant put a “fake” redirect up. it can be set up if you join a full server you get a popup message saying this server is full, try our GG server or w/e you want it to say. It does not automaticaly push the client into a server they dont wont to join. It also does not show a near full server on like d2, and pushes them to like 8ppl on cbbl like 1.6 does
but i will say they work hella great. The redirects that i’m running will show me the player name which got redirected, and i can watch in hlsw to see if they stay. and as long as the server has 8ish or more people playing in it, they typically dont bother trying to find another server. This works really well as the redirects show very low ping, and they get hit ALOT. Yes it is “ghey”, and cheap but it got the dead 1.6 server back on 2 legs
