Future vs Fantasy Quake

The server should be connectable again, again (again?). More CGNAT weirdness, but this time I think I've found the root cause (and here up until now I was thinking they'd just periodically remove "no cgnat" people from some list, whether accidentally or purposefully, heh). When I would cal...

Yeah, somehow I wound up back on the CGNAT I mentioned before. I've since called the ISP and had it removed, again.

Well, I've updated the server autoexec to run .05 ticrate. The responsiveness is so much better, it's worth the minor downsides. At some point I should probably try out the fte server so any potential newbers from the stream re-release can connect... And qw people too apparently?

I suppose we can try it at .05 for a while. One thing I immediately notice is off, though, is the Laser Android projectiles... particularly the Mass Cannon.

I can confirm that the ticrate was definitely left at .1. This is sadly where it needs to be for FvF to function properly, even though it's notoriously sluggish. It would be great if we could have some work done to FvF to fix it for a lower ticrate. Even .05, the standard, default ticrate for Quake ...

I was messing around with it a bit last night. It should be set to .1 again, as is the standard fvf ticrate. It would be great if some work could be done to the progs to make everything work with a faster tic, but as it stands, not using .1 will break a lot of things. I'll check later when I'm home ...

FvF is back up. All it took was a simple call to the ISP. They removed the CGNAT for me just like that... all I had to do was restart my modem and router. We're once again good for the forseeable future. With a fiber connection at that!

Okay, so... the ISP just brought me into the modern age with fiber optic internet. Sadly, somehow or another they've set it up so my router sees this 100.64.x.x IP, which is a "shared address space" which means... I dunno. In any case, this means at best, until I can (if I can) figure some...

The server is live! Again. And stable this time! I hope...

Could have been worse. Could have been a Zombikazi. BOOM.

If it makes you feel any better, the extra junky parts I have right now are going to wind up in a fire pit somewhere when I get the system rebuilt. No BOOM probably, but it'll burn...

The server is basically a zombie right now. The power supply is fucked, and besides that, the entire system is pretty outdated anyway. I grow weary of fucking around with it. I've ordered new parts, and I'm just gonna reubild the whole damn thing when I can.

Ok, I updated the dns redirect. Hey, wanna update the DNS redirect? 173.91.149.84 Ok, I updated the DNS redirect. Hey, wanna update the DNS redirect? 204.210.185.60 This is the last time, I promise! The last time it changes because of something *I* did, anyway... for a good while, anyway... hopeful...

See edit. Unfortunately, at least for a day or so, the DNS is gonna redirect to a black hole...

Ok, I updated the dns redirect. Hey, wanna update the DNS redirect? 173.91.149.84 I have no idea how stable the server is going to be right now. I've been struggling all day trying to figure out why the DMZ on my gateway wouldn't work, but apparently port scanning tools such as GRC ShieldsUP! don't...

Okay, so the server is running. By some weird voodoo magic or something, the power supply seems content for the moment. I seem to remember it (the switch) being buggered up before, so hopefully it can just continue to run for now.

The server IP is 204.210.185.238
