Hello, One of the hardest things ive done lately is try to setup a dedicated server for source games, namely the new beta game called ‘hidden’. I was playing with it till about 1am last night and I eventually gave up. However i wasnt fully satisfied so in a desperate last ditch attempt with limited success I managed to setup a dedicated server for a supported game, ‘Halflife 2 DeathMatch’ and I got it working and it was even registered on the servers list! Anyway… Ive got my company laptop 2night… im gonna install it all on there and get it working for ‘hidden’ if it’s the last thing I do. I tried using that ‘mani’ mod and Im not sure exactly how to link it all up with that yet so its just going to run standalone for the moment and ill access the console directly for changing maps etc. I’ll keep you posted on my progress… if it proves successful I may be persuaded to rent a dedicated server with root access so that we can fully customise our online games! …Because im feeling geeky yo

After an hour playing with it, I can manage to host a server, even with the Mani-mod working, but the server will not appear on internet games list, and people can't join (They get an message saying they can't join a 'local game')... Even though for a brief while, there name appeared on the server as if they were connected - Before the error entailed .. It is a bitch though!

man ive looked into dedicated hosting - you can get something that includes root access so you can just put whatever you want on there. sure would be good. not quite sure id be able to cough up that much just on my own though as what ive seen so far is quite expensive so for now whenever we play ill link up my second laptop via cable to the router instead of wireless... that should shed off any spikes/lag you may of had in the game last time. oh hang on... ive been reading here: www.eukhost.com/windows-vps-hosting.phpif u take a look at the site above its something called a vps host which allows for a percentage of processing power off a quad zeon server system (beasty) this might work. the 24 quid one gives 150gig a month bandwidth which im sure will be fine for game servers. only 7 gig space though but as far as space is concerned i think hidden takes about 700 meg on its own. hmm i might give this a try after payday lol then we can have one running 24/7 with a dedicated ip!

Cool, sounds like it could be interesting for us. Anyway I have the parents round for dinner tonight, but as soon as they are gone and alcohol permitting you cant count me in for more Hide and Seek.
