Thread: Nuclear Dawn Beta Server

As far as administration goes? I was told that all sourcemods will work with ND(by a Dev). As far as server config management goes, I have also hear that there are a lot of custom stuff that can be done.

Servers should be available before client files will be yes.

Ranked servers basically mean that players will rank up and get stats and we will check this through steamworks with clients/servers. If a server changes to many cvars (which we will let you know soon), it will be unranked. For example if you want to built a SURF Nuclear Dawn server, fine... but that will be unranked

Server Plugins like SourceMod and Steambans are allowed and will work fine.

Custom maps are allowed but will be unranked untill our team approves them or puts them in a community DLC update.

Custom content like changing skins you can do clientside, depending on the server configuration of course.

That quote was taken from a developer at interwave studios.

As long as we have a viable way to manage the servers, we can throw an instance up pretty easily. Source-based stuff is pretty easy to throw into place quickly.

I will be purchasing, hopefully my hardware can handle it! Looks fun and like a game TPG could play.

Do we know if TPG will be hosting a beta server?

We'll have to see how well it is supported by SourceMod. If we can't control the population during the beta, it may be worth waiting on.

Seeing how one the creators of sourcemod works for interwave I'm willing bet it's going shoe in.
