Title: Free Hosting for Ambitious Scripters
Post by: Windlord on January 11, 2011, 01:49:32 pm
To the Liberty Unleashed Community,


It has been a few months since LU has been released.
There are however not as many players or servers as I expected.

The scripting implementation of LU allows for great flexibility and creativity.
The capabilities however have not been explored enough.

I have a dedicated server located at Germany at my disposal. (You can ping windlord.net)
I'll keep it simple, I am willing to host servers for free but with a few conditions.



1. You should be eager and know how to script or know someone who knows how to script.
    I will only be hosting servers which have unique ideas and servers which will not keep idle for months. If you think you have an awesome idea and can script it, ask me to host it for you!
    This means that I will not host servers for mere testing, or for basic fun. The scripts you make should be sophisticated and fun to run and use.

2. You should be willing to upload something (anything) to the script releases section over here at the LU forums once a month while your server is being hosted.
    Try to find out new features and ways to use them. Share them, help others and help this community grow!

3. You should be willing to edit and update the LU wiki (http://www.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/LUWiki/Main_Page). This includes testing functions and events.
    I will not actually check if you do so, just be willing!



As long as you think you can conform to the three conditions above, I'll host your server for you.

You will get:




Just post below (and not in a pm) the following and I'll get back to you asap.
Name of server: Awesome Gamemode v2 [Not necessary]
People who are part of your server project: Bob, Joe, Jamie
Duration of free hosting: 3 months [This can be indefinite]

Capability to use ssh and a linux shell: (Good/A bit/No) [Not necessary]
Will you release LU scripts/modules every month? (Yes/No)
Will you update and edit the LU scripting wiki? (Yes/No)

The gamemode idea: A rotating gamemode which changes modes between deathmatch, roleplay, and freeroam. There will be plenty of minigames for each mode and players can vote on the next mode.
[Give me specifics but not anything about the method of scripting itself.]
How long it will take to finish the gamemode: 3 weeks

Happy Coding and a Happy New Year!


Best Regards,
Windlord

PS. If you don't understand certain bits of my post, please don't apply for a free server. :)

Name of server: Orphtown
People who are part of your server project: Orph, help occasionally from yourself and force.
Duration of free hosting: indefinite

Capability to use ssh and a linux shell: so-so, getting better.
Will you release LU scripts/modules every month? I'll try to release snippets, but i have doubts people will use them!
Will you update and edit the LU scripting wiki? Not likely, reason being I'm uncertain on particular things though I may add some bits.

The gamemode idea: A server with multiple sub gamemodes rolled into one, cmds will be limited depending on mode, modes will likely include Sniper submodes (2/3 different ones), deathmatch/TDM, and possibly a race mode.
How long it will take to finish the gamemode: 3 millenia! (I honestly haven't a clue)

P.s I thougt I would post this even though you're already hosting it, as an example to people incase they misunderstood.

Regards, Orpheus.

I'm sorry but you have to be willing to update and edit the scripting wiki :P
Also, your gamemode does not offer anything new so at least one interesting idea would be nice.

I'm sorry, 8 months for a clan server with basic features does not appeal to me.
Good luck :)

1. Name of server: [LCK] Attack and defence
2. People who are part of your server project: only me and some testers
3. Duration of free hosting: it depends on my free time, which is very limited

4. Capability to use ssh and a linux shell: enough to launch or restart the server and upload files ;)
5. Will you release LU scripts/modules every month? look at point 3
6. Will you update and edit the LU scripting wiki? ^

The gamemode idea: An advanced attack and defence gamemode with capability to change team names, add custom bases in XML file and more.

Attackers objective is taking defencers base (marker) or killing enemies.
Defenders objective is defending marker for X minutes or killing enemies.

How long it will take to finish the gamemode: point 3 :)

Additional info: The gamemode is almost done (I've started coding it a while before LU release). It needs only some tweaks, GUI improvements, more official bases and some tests.

Hello users of Liberty Unleashed.

I have bad news unfortunately: the free service I provide will not be available from June 2010 onwards due to personal financial problems.
All users of the service will not have any access after the 31st of May.

If you wish to have backups of your data and databases, please download them before 31st May and/or contact me.
If you would perhaps like to continue using my service and would like to agree on a price, please contact me as well.

You may contact me via IRC @ irc.liberty-unleashed.co.uk (http://irc://irc.liberty-unleashed.co.uk)
or send me an email ([email protected] (http://mailto:[email protected]))
