Dge #4, 27th March

[opaque]

Well, the next dge is coming in a month or so (i know i'm posting early but lance wants to fill it up this time)

So, get over to their website (http://www.dgelan.org/) and register! :>
The more the better.
Make sure you stay for the whole time this time, it finished wayyyyyyy to early last time ;]
Also, any ideas on the tourneys to be held, post them :>

[neoprint]

I shall be there with bells on

[-Hamburglar-]

Well, dont sit next to me

[opaque]

You have to give me a ride to bk next time hayden :]

[casemodder]

I'll be there with a BBQ in hand to cook some decent grub on .. mmm chicken nibbles/nuggets mmm sausages.. mm egg.. well you get the idea.

Already reserved my seat (C1) See you all there .. (well the dunedin folks i hope)

[Chris]

there was so little to leech at the last one.. and the only competition run was call of duty..

I thought the gaming consoles were a good idea though..

[Chris]

Charge more and put some of the entry fee towards two inch steaks and keep a BBQ running all day (and obviously all night)

Make sure we've got some kind of stupid promenade style rain cover incase it (duh) rains..


I don't know why im suggesting improvements to DGE on the OCNZ forums...

Hrm..

Well, i read them and pass them on? :]

Yeah there wasn't enough to leech at the last one, but that was just an excuse to play more games.

Should be some more comps this time

[Doom]

Reg'd :)

Cant wait... (Thinks about taking his 21" :cool: )

Ill have to take some decent food this time. (The BBQ sounds good case!)

21" CRT?!?!?! are you nuts?? do you want to have your KB on your lap or somthing :p .. Have you got an RSI deathwish..
But in all honesty.. do you have a crane or just a wish for a broken back?

The tables there are quite narrow.. but do as you please.

(no really don't take it i don't want to be out epenis'ed in monitor size!!!!)

How does a BBQ Tea then a BBQ brunch sound? (brunch because i'll be going home at like 2am then comming back like 10am so we could have a feed once i get back).

I am getting too old for staying up allnight then going all day. SO i'll just go home for a sleep and come back in the morning and stay until the thing is over at 3pm.

[opaque]

I've got an old BBQ sitting here, if no one else is taking one, or Lance can't organise one.

I'm good at cooking steak...and thats it :]

Definately taking less junk food this time around. Must get me some more cheese buns.

Wonder if Lance will have his 21" LCD by then ? :]

[casemodder]

Well i'm taking my BBQ, bring yours too Mr Tim. Just have a cook up for our mates, even if lance does organise one, i will still bring my own alot less of a hassle to get things you want cooked etc.

Yes i heard lance was getting a 21" LCD.. did he win lotto or something!?!?!?!

[opaque]

Okies, i'll chuck mine on the list of things to take ;].

Organise some cheap, good steak as well.

Also, get posting some ideas for comps, i was thinking sc/wc3 but only a few there play it...maybe some q3a 1v1's

[Chris]

Q3 although being a great game is really whorish to LAN with because its so frickin pissy about which copies of the game it'll let connect to one another.. I had to play doom last time with his copy of the game and config because mine, dispite being the same version, wasnt compatible with his.. it sucked lots..

Last time I don't think anyone played WC3 because no one had the same version, and -no one- had the 1.14b patch..

Three awsome games for LAN comps tho.

[casemodder]

Well it has to be said:

Battlefield Desert Combat.

I propose 6 v 6 matches. Then again if we can't get about 4 - 5 teams .. lets just have a free for all normal LAN game.

Wolf ET

That would be my next choice. Prizes for person with the most XP in each area, i.e. Medic, Sniper, Engineer, Special Ops, etc.

And then an overall team prize, again about 6 v 6 would be nice.

So true about Q3, last time we managed to get 4 or 5 people with versions that worked..so yeah.

I'll make sure i have all the wc3/starcraft patches this time around, halo would be a pretty fun comp for the people who like it. Looks like the COD 5v5 comp is a definate this time round again.

[PhlyingMonkey]

Hmm, how about throwing in an old school Quake 2 Tournament for nostolgia value?

Rocket Jumps all around :)

[neoprint]

*votes for quake2*

[Valium]

Its looking like I *should* have my 9800pro back by then so Ill hopefully be there :)

[opaque]

Quake 2 is a must!!!!!!

:>

Currently in the process of organising a brunch etc which will probably just cost $5 but i'll post the details when i have more :]

[ELLIOT]

Hey Guys,Some of you may know me...I am [B2B] clan leader on WOLF ET.....Anyway i was wondering a few thigns about The LAN.Anyway at the moment I only play WOLF ET....Maybe I should buy something else and train before next LAN?Also me is only 13 years old....3rd form OBHS.....can I still come :P

Thanks

[-Hamburglar-]

I'd love to see some UT2004. I'm sure the full version will be out by then.

Well there is no age limit, Lances kids run around playing xboxs etc. Don't see why you shouldn't be allowed.

Most people there are reasonably tolerant of young people but yeah, as long as you're not annoying/immature, then sweet as :]

Otherwise you get airgunned. :D

[neoprint]

ELLIOT: you should be fine to go.

i'm 17, and have been lanning since i was 12 so there shouldn't be any problem.

like opaque said, most of the people are pretty tolerant, and will accept you so long as you are not a tool

[Phatputer]

Im putting my vote in for Quake 2, so blow the dust off that original CD, or rummage around your old CDR disks and find that disk with that copy on it, and get those rocket jumps up to standard :)

Hmm time for another Hard drive me thinks.

[Doom]

And im |MI| Doom, prepare to be owned :)

Youd be welcome there, so long as you dont annoy anyone :)

This time guys im going to get a working version of quake hosted on the main dge server without my config for us to all leech and play! Then you can leech it, install your configs and then change the settings :)

Um... :) Cant wait :) Im going to bring chicken kebarbs!

[LanceLOT]

Any one is more than welcome to do a Comp. If you take the names and sort out the games and scores etc Im happy to yell it out (Im good at that)

[opaque]

You're good at sneezing as well you trumpet :D

Well at the moment, looks like me and case will be doing a brunch/lunch for those who would like it...something simple like bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and bread. Should be happening around 12:30, not sure yet. It will most likely be around $3-$5 just to cover the cost of the food :D

but yeah. come. [OCNZ] represent!

[opaque]

Yeah Lances kids are all good, they keep begging me for lollies o_O.

Can't believe how popular DGE has gotten in the last few months but yeah, should be an awesome turnout this time :D

[ELLIOT]

Thanks Guys.....Do I need anythign like cables or any **** like that?Also I can go home to sleep eh...Or my parents won't be too happy :P

Doom Says: I'm |MI| Doom,I will be prepared to be owned by you ELLIOT.All hail ELLIOT!

Yah I know....I might teach you a few tricks though if ya want ;)

Yah Me is gonna get UT2004 day it coems out,hopefully before LAN :D

[neoprint]

ELLIOT: you need power cables etc, normal ****. except for a network cable, thats provided..

yes its fine to go home for sleep, but i usually just crash on a sofa there.

i shall also be obtaining a copy of ut2004 before the lan. so i shall play you at it :D

[opaque]

Acquire!

And if not, the demo maps are pretty cool...but whores fps :]~

[PhlyingMonkey]

I need to get my revenge on Phatputer at Quake 2, he almost bet me in 1 on 1 last weekend.

I mean.. he actually managed to kill me, time to hunt for a decent Quake 2 skin.

Does anybody have any problems if I'm running slightly slower gear than everyone else, ie. overclocked p3 with overclocked geforce 2?

[Phatputer]

let me remind you whos p3 gear that is monkey.... :D

I don't mind, im running slower gear with plans to have some good ole gaming action of the classic kind.

mm anyone for a game of Doom?? maybe original Quake, anyone still have a copy?

[neoprint]

that slower gear should be cool. just so long as nobody decides to ahve a big game of far cry...

phatputer: bring on the original doom :D

[LanceLOT]

Im real keen for Quake 1 I always have it on my PC Im thinking retro comp....... Starcraft and Quake 1vs1 ....mmmm DM3
My god will be good LAN mmmwwwwhahahahaha
:)

[Chris]

Im sure we can get afew dozen people to play Quake 1, its such a small and simple game with no need to install, just grab a 10 meg folder and everyones away laughing.

[Chris]

how quicks your machine?

[opaque]

Athlon xp1800+
256ddr 333 :(! *(!#%
PixelView Gf4 Ti4200

The demo rapes my fps if theres quite a few people shooting etc on screen.

I'm definately up for some Quake 1 action (quakeworld :D?) i have fuhquake installed so :]

Also, doom legacy (opengl doom) is wicked on lan, we had an 8 man game at dooms place once..it was mental.

[ELLIOT]

dumb n00b question....my DSE modem?(Jetstart) sorry never been to a lan before....so basically i just need money and my computer and all cables with it?Oh dam....gotta get some headphones as well....

[opaque]

Yeap, computer + power/monitor cables and keyboard + mouse etc...

Go buy some $20 sony headphones from dse :]

Don't need to bring your modem or anything (don't quite understand the "question")

[noVa]

Woot! ill be at this DGE! -= me votes Quake2 =- ... :D

i hope mabee we can all push in a few big ut2004 Onslaught matches =P

cya at DGE fallas!

[Phatputer]

For Elliot
You need a network card, this is the device you link up with everyone with, ill be bringing along a few spare ones if failure occur, but I seem to remember Lance saying last time it went pretty smoothly apart from 1 or 2 machines not going onto the network. He may have a few extra cards umm if you look on the back of your computer there should be what looks like a modem hole but bigger.

[FKF]

IIRC, the machines that couldn't get onto the network the last couple of times were only NF2 onboard LAN ones, so if you have one of those, might pay to bring a spare. Having said that, my NF2 connected sweet as.

[PhlyingMonkey]

Seeing as how I'm a geek by trade if any of the guys in charge want me to help out with anything technical when I'm not fragging PhatPuter then I'll be keen as to help.

Having now seen probably upwards of a dozen ( or two :eek: ) nForce 1/2 onboard NIC's die @ L3's, I'd trust an nForce NIC about as far as a gnat could spit it.

They suck, get a PCI card. Nuf said :p.

( seriously, it's CHRONIC how often those things die, they're such a joke )

[Phatputer]

Mmm that would explain my problems with these network cards on Gigabyte boards I have installed lately, although we put through a fairly large amount of these I have had 2 either fail totally or just cause some serious problems with the system when attempting to use them, NICS are cheap ended up throwing them in and disabling onboard LAN.. hmm fun

[LanceLOT]

We had this big ass P4 2.8 with like 2GB ram for a server at one LAN and the dumb ass Onboard LAN died so we didnt even use it :D DOH
OK Im going to do a Quake1 Comp 1vs1 There will be prize as in Pizza or the such :)
Mye goes to dig up old disks and find QuakeWorld Stuff....... if I can remeber the server commands :D

Should be FUN

*meep*... mines going ok atm :p :p

[PhlyingMonkey]

Is there going to be anything like match recordings so that we can playback the battles for amusement?, ie comical kamikaze attacks and stupid deaths, nothing like watching someone kill themself with a rocket jump by accident :)

[Chris]

very few people will want to run a capture program or the internal Q3 movie maker.. burns alot of gas and some peoples machines arnt likely to have that gas spare (I'm fine.. i'm just thinking of other people :D )

but your right, nothing quite like having peoples moments of gaming shame recorded for all to giggle at..

[opaque]

I have an HLTV kind of program for quakeworld somewhere, /finds.

[Phatputer]

Well im setting up a quake 2 server to be running all night so might just set it up with a larger hard drive to record the action within that.. :P in fact, you can do it for me phlyingmonkey as im lazy.. here have a pc

[opaque]

Set up an igib server with hook? :D:D

[Chris]

didn't realise HLTV style quake was an option... :eek: :eek: :eek:

go go go

[opaque]

Right i've just got a server setup file from circa, which records MVD's (multiview demos) so yay!

We can watch from all POV's. I'll pass it onto Lance tomorrow some time

[dustyslapper]

My nforce 2 onboard rode hard all night like a Rider of Rohan, it must have been FKF's lucky fingers that stroked the performance out of the beast.

My workmate Ed has signed up as well - he has a "pimping" rig that he's sure will "impress" the "laydies".

That is a network card, if you have a plug that looks like that (not your modem plug if you're dial-up) then it should be sweet, someone usually brings a spare anyway so you shouild be fine. :]

[Thatoma]

hi, i was wondering what sort of machine specs are required,
my machine is a p4 2.4ghz 256ddr pc 2700 with an ati radeon 9200SE 400mhz dac with 128mb vram, also what games would i need to be installed
does anyone play w3 the frozen throne or MOHAAS ?
or is it all fps games ?
thanks

[LanceLOT]

Your machine specs are up to you
if you can run the games you want to play then thats fine
Some WC3 FT was played the last few we also play HOHAA which is a fps game:)
And COD BF BFDC BFV and maybe some Quake etc
Hope this helps
LanceLOT

[Phatputer]

thats rubbish Lance :) the bare minimum for gaming machines these days is at least a 3ghz processor with a graphics card that cost enough to make a banker cringe. Clear side panel on case gets entry in door and lots of lights gets you a good spot!! if you don't have a DVD Writer don't expect to be getting anyone elses shares... etc etc etc..

PC doesn't have to be much as long as there are other people willing to play the games that you play then you are set for a good time.

[casemodder]

Well my preparations have begun for the LAN (BF:V Training!!). As i may have said somewhere above, i will be playing mainly games that are new to me. These may include:
Need For Speed: Underground (not that new, just need to show off my rice :p)
Battlefield: Vietnam
Blitzkrieg
Lock On
Americas Army
UT2k4 (If its out!!, if its not then the demo)

That should keep me amused for many hours of fun. Anyway: to those that haven't paid, make sure you do so.

See you all there!

[stryka]

i'll be up for quake2 - and i'm sure Amooman will be too (i wonder if his skill has decreased at all... i'll bet not)

can't wait to play against phlyingmonkey & phatputer again

[opaque]

To bad i can't come anymore :(

I would love to play some q2 !~ haven't played in ages :]~

[LanceLOT]

MMMM Quake 2 and Quake 1 . Anyone know how to set up Quake 1 Quakeworld server ? I could almost run a server for that on The Cell 500 Laptop :)

[opaque]

I have a server set up pack here with all the cfgs + maps they use on the xtra qw server, i'll send it to you if you want lance~

[LanceLOT]

OK cool man does you have the Opengl exe ?
Just email them

[stryka]

lan is only two nights away.... can't wait. spent my spare time these last few days tidying up my hdd's (defragging now).... looking forward to trying out some new games.

[Spoon]

Grrrr, stupid PC. Kinda a wee bit dieded at the moment, my 80 gig and 120gig drives have to swap around in the USB casing, and I have to have a windows CD in for it to boot. Stupid windows/hdd/whatever. But yeh, I'll still pull myself along.

[opaque]

Muahaha
:D
My PC dies before every lan i go to, eh lance :(

[Phatputer]

im leaving pc as is, havnt had time for practice etc, throw another 120gb drive in it to be sure that i have spare room then im away.

See you guys there

[Doom]

Lan... oh yeah.... Crap...

/me Starts freeing up HDD space !

[-Hamburglar-]

I know the feeling! :O Still got stuff that I haven't touched from the last one.

[casemodder]

Well, the case is rice and tidy, all cables out of sight (mostly) fishtank on the side, led spreader at the front, LEDs spotlighting the CPU cooler. (Comon guys, Lance needs abit of competition with some more fish there, and leds etc!!).
Vietnam is loaded on ready for some action as well!

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all there!

[dustyslapper]

Just on 100gb of room, and I'll put the mx700 on the charger tonight, baybee.

I'm so up for some 0 ping vietnam. Dice get my :thumbsup: for the vietnam release date, thats for sho. Along with the 2k4 demo which I hope I'll become acquanted it should be a ripping lan.

[opaque]

I'll come in and say hi to everyone before i go get to drunk :] See how the comps are going etc and.
Mulletman is going to give me a ride in his falcon :] EH hayden

yeh, just realised last night

[dustyslapper]

I had fun. Now off to bed. I hoped to be home 3 hours ago, but had to leach the last of those linux isos and chipset drivers.

Well write a roundup after sleep time :)

[Solid Snake]

It was too far out for me being in North Dunedin with no car. Oh well, I think Dunedin OCNZer's need a gathering at some stage.

[casemodder]

Those are some good chipset drivers aye Dusty ;). Well i arrived at DGE with a single 60GB harddrive, and left with 2 60s and a 40, (Thanks very much FKF) needless to say, i now only have about 5GBs free over all my drives, i leeched alot of chipset driveres, and 'nix ISOs. Vietnam was fun, Far Cry was ... interesting, UT2k4 look cool although i installed the demo i never got arround to playing it :rolleyes: However i did have a good ol' game of UT orginal.. it rocked. A few races in NFSU was also good. Now back to sorting all those 'nix ISOs.

Oh FKF... post pics!!

[Phatputer]

it was enjoyable all round, left around 4.30am with some more skills under the belt.. COD tourney was fun,, turned up with 120gb free .. left with about 30..

This is Mr. Casemodder hard at work.

This is Mr D. Slapper, downloading chipset drivers and looking very happy about it.

Next to him is Mr Valium, also looking very happy about something. I think perhaps the slapper has his hand on Valium's leg.

[opaque]

Haha Gary, good work :]

How was the bbq etc etc, the barina hold up alright? :D

[Spoon]

There was no BBQ. I got cheap cheap pizza instead. Good ol' student ID means $7.50 pizza instead of the 'DGE Special' of $8.

But yeah, a good night, kinda finished a bit early. About half the people had left when I did at 6am. Disturbingly enough I came home with 95gb of free space, not sure whats up with that. Anyone wanna sponsor DGE some nice big gigabit switches for faster leeching ;)?

[dustyslapper]

Yeah - the leeching, while there was a lot of linux to go for, sucked. I was only getting around 2mbs at the fastest, and often was uploading and downloading in the "k"s rather than the "m"s.

Bring on the big bad backbone!

Hardware limitations aside however (I know that Lance can only work with the gear he has) I think that it was a very good night. The COD tournament was a good time. I'm keen for more. :)

[shag]

Sweet. Now I know what casemodder looks like too :p

anyhoo, i had wicked fun, came home with a few megs of hard drive left *shakes fist at 2x 80gb HDD's*

'cept for my system which picked saturday to start having hissy fits for no reason. oh well.

[Solid Snake]

Anyone wanna sponsor DGE some nice big gigabit switches for faster leechinTweet tweet, you guys do know I am in Dunedin right? I have two switches here that are capable of a gigabit pipeline between them sitting in my room doing nothing....

I'll see if I can have a chat with DGE.

I still managed to upload around 160Gb, and last I heard Eccles had done over 200Gb. I think the UT2K4 and FarCry "demos" made for a much bigger quantity of network traffic, thus slowing things down a bit. Howver, I'm not complaining at all, I got all the drivers and ISO's I wanted.

I'm guessing early in the AM before I arrived. Was pretty full from early evening until about 3am when people started to leave... When I left at 6am maybe half the people were gone.

it would appear so, i'm still using my wireless keyboard in that photo (its on my lap, hence there being no keyboard on the desk), and my wireless setup died around noon on the saturday. mysteriously, its working fine now.

Damn lance taking the random photos!

Yeah those pics of me were taken not long after 10am, Lance was abit "Snappy Happy". Yeah it was pretty full at the peak, maybe 5 spare seats if that?
