MoH:AA Clanservers..

[-=|ITN|=-Target]

-=|ITN|=- is currently looking into renting a clanserver. Before we do, I'd like to ask a few questions:
First, we are a new clan. Looking into it, we are aiming to start with a 12-man public clanserver. As the clan grows, and more people can pay towards the server, we will look to getting the maximum 24 player. When can this be altered to a 24-player? Do I use some sort of control-panel on the web to make it 24-player, or do I simply use rcon to make it 24-player, and you charge us the extra at the end of the month?(or when it comes to 'handing' cash over).
Second, we also plan to have a round-based squad, an objective squad and a team-deathmatch squad. The rcon command to change the server is g_gametype#, will the server handle being changed to a different gametype daily? As the clan grows, and more people can pay, would we get a discount on a second-and maybe third, server?
Last of all, do your servers support map-mods, such as tanks where spawns are exposed, planes to fly into buildings so people can't go under-map, and various other mods?
Cheers.

1: To increase that player limit on your server, you contact us and tell us you would like this doing and when your billing date comes around you will be billed the extra and we will increase the player limit for you.

2:You can change the gametype either through rcon; or through our online web based server management system, ClanForge.

3: I do not believe we offer discounts for multiple servers at present, however to discuss the possibility you would need to speak to Wizzo.

4: We can add additional maps to the server for you, no problems there. The current system of doing this is by e-mail and you can't do it yourselves - but we will happily do it for you.

5: We usually test 'new' mods first to ensure they dont put a huge increase on the CPU load for the server; but again - we will add these for you on request.

Hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to pop into #mpukhosting on Quakenet irc.

:)

Cheers,
Giles.

Hi Target,

1. Expansion of the server

Say you were to take a 12-player MOHAA server with us. At any point then during your contract you can ring us up and say "I'd like 10 more player slots added please" and we'll pro-rata the payment, as long as it is no less than £10.

2. Control of the Server

You get both rcon access, and access to our "ClanForge" web management interface. ClanForge allows you to edit most of the common settings you need to change, such as rcon, game password, game type, map rotation, and in the case of Medal of Honor you can choose mods to add from our list. You can also view your config files. Full config file editing through ClanForge is on the way but is still a few months off.

3. Discounts on additiional servers

These are possible, but we'll assess each case on its merit. Our prices are very reasonable anyway, and we do offer discounts based on length of contracts, e.g. 10% for 3-months paid up front, 15% for 6-months, 20% for 12-months.

4. Mods

Our servers support a wide range of mods for mohaa, which you can add and remove using the clanforge interface. The no landsharking mod is an example.

Any more questions fire them on over :)
