Title: Starcraft 1: Private server
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 20, 2010, 05:54:41 am
Some probably heard this on IRC alerady but there is a private SC server setup by Netham45, and a backup one by Geekboy1011 in case Netham45 has internet issues one day. Since it's not complete yet, I am not sure if I can give the URL yet, but those who lurked on IRC are probably aware of it (or have the patch). In the future we might also do Warcraft III, but we would need to find a different way to patch this game. It seems to just be a matter of registry editing.

So yeah, those who cannot use iCCup, Battle Net or just can't join games could try our new server as alternative when it's out. It might fix the issues, not to mention the main channel would be moderated, and possibly relayed with #omnimaga IRC on a permanent basis.

as for the bot we are waiting on netham45 to get to work fixing it as it was coded to use a infinate while loop and it kinda sucked up all the processing on the server he had hosted thats in the works


the note on my server is ill be running off of my old laptop in a way that is more than likely against my tos so if we are going to use it i have to be around and logged in to teh chat room (eg keep me safe from my isp yeling at me saying i was using it to make it easier for us to play ect ect.  but if i happen to be no and nethams is having a problem it will be up and running for yall :)



umm im not sure when the server is going to get let out as we kinda need to work out a few moderation bugs and such atm its being a bit glitchy and our admins arent getting the rank right or somthing idk were working on it XD

Never heard of that map before, is it UMS? I personally mostly play regular maps, the only UMSes I play are the ones involving destroying enemy base like Zerg mass attack or maps like can you stop one unit where you try to stop units with 9999 HP and 255 defense :P


@Geekboy yeah it might be good to wait until most irc ops who plays SC can moderate the SC room or at least do it remotely from IRC by msging commands to the relaying bot. The bot also needs protection against flood

Hoping Netham45 woN,t become as busy later this school year as he did last one x.x. I remember he would be unreachable for two months once x.x. No wonder why we eventually had to move from Dragon-Fire back to EFnet (he was the last person still actively maintaining DF) x.x

We planned to move as soon as 2008, but then Netham45 became IRCop as replacement to Telroth, who was busy. Tianon was gone and Iambian wasn't on often. However a year later Netham45 got busier x.x. When we finally moved he was less busy but Tianon came back and started power abuse and trolling.

I haven't heard anything about this for a while. Any idea on how long it will be before it's up?

Idk if the server is still up but I lost the install file so idk really x.x

You would need to PM Netham45 about it
