I'm in!

Here's a guide to running a server:

That depends on you having a computer with constant internet access. The other option is to hire a DMC/DMQ server - there's quite a few companies that rent out game servers, and they should take care of most of the setting up and so on for you.

To make maps: you can get Valve Hammer editor 3 for free, although there are other programs that some people swear are better. For skins and weapons, I have no idea... anyone?

I remember when I first started playing DMC and I thought American Zombie was the best DMC player EVER, even if he was a bit of an arrogant twot. Took me a few months to realise that he really wasn't that great.

What about -=[BaF]bb=-?

Also, what was the name of that player who was supposedly South's sister? Was she in -=[BaF]=- too?

Hi Pun, it's been a while... hope to see you in game soon  (I'm coincidence btw)

Good to see you back Zapper - and a welcome return for dmc-central.

I don't suppose there's anything remaining of the forums, e.g. a MySQL backup or such? Would be great to see some of the old posts again.

For me, it's the lack of Linux support - my host runs on Linux, and I've been thinking of changing, but  just haven't quite got round to it. I'd love to run DMQ, though.

It's been a while since I played Q3, so remind me - what do armour shards do? Are they just like tiny little mini armourettes?

A handicap system could be cool too; maybe something dynamic where the damage you take is increased once you get above a certain K:D ratio. Although that might not work if you get two good players on one server who are about equally matched, but much better than everyone else.

Cool! Glad to see the return of -=[BaF]=-; was always a fun server. I've been looking into putting up a DMQ server but I don't think it'll work on e-frag, as (as far as I know) there isn't a DMQ version for Linux, which is what e-frag use.

Are you in touch with Simon at all? I was thinking of asking him if he had a backup of the old dmc-central forums; it would be a shame to lose all that dmc history, and I might be able to create a new forum with all the old posts.

I'm happy to help in any way I can - I've got you on my Steam Friends list (I'm in as Coincidence or Flumm Blipp) so ask away.
