Official {MHM} Change Log. Make all change requests here!

[-HellFire-]

I already was thinkin why nobody was on MHM the entire day and when I tried to join in I found the awnser...

[*POTS*]

Same problem here, the server is once again stuck on that ATAA2 map.

[Hermskii]

I added the missing file to the webserver a little while ago. I have not tested it yet.

[*POTS*]

For some reason the IP addresses of both {CG} and {MHM} have changed.

The new IPs are:

Curious George's Redeemer Insanity {CG}
76.30.127.16:7757

Monster Hunt Mayhem {MHM}
76.30.127.16:7737

In the meanwhile the servers may have appeared to be down.

[Fuzz_Ball]

Good work, POTS.
I was suspecting an IP change but have not been able to crack open a can of UT at all today.

[Hermskii]

Yeah! I did not know this either. Now I know and knowing is half of the battle as G.I. Joe says. I wonder when that happened?

[*POTS*]

Thanks Fuzzy!

Herm here's your answer I guess:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2056

Therouter was locked up. It is rebooted and should be good to go.

Anyway Herm I got a map request for the {MHM} server, the file is attached on this post. It's a small map, kind of arena style, yet fun for a bloodbath with chainsaws.

[Hermskii]

Hold that thought POTS and post it on the MHM request thread. I also know I have not put that other one on I said I would but after looking into it further it turns out their are some security issues with that other map. The bad kind that can crash the server if somebody knew what they were doing. It also has a ton of required files that I'd have to force people to download. One would allow them to do odd things on other maps too so I decided against it. Sorry.

[Fuzz_Ball]

Very interesting concerns you've brought up, Herm.
I'd like to know more about security and how it's affected by map design.
Do you have any suggested reading on the topic?
What to look for in a map, do's & dont's, etc?
If not can you make a thread (if you have time)?

but... this is supposed to be the MHM request thread.

It's ok Herm, anyway I think gopostal himself was not completely satisfied with that map. The basic idea was great, but the building process has been a pain in the butt since stage 1st. I know it cause I've been one of the betatesters for this map.

Yeah, I'm curious as well. Maybe we can discuss that privately if you want.

We are truly the masters of off-topic, we even forget the original purpose of the thread

[Hermskii]

Hahaha! Yes, we are bad like that. Well POTS did make a request here and I said no to the map I originally said yes to so I'll try to explain a little without giving it away. The map is built in a way that it requires lots of extra files. One of the extra files has something built into it that can keep it alive no matter what map the server is playing. That one little file which is required for one map can actually crash all of the others if used in a manner to try to do exactly that. I know there are much smarter people than me out there so I decided not to risk it. People can't use the file on their own. It has to be in use on the server and has to be downloaded by the player. If both requirements are met then a player can crash any map on that server at any time basically so like I said...NO. That is all.

[Hook]

OK - so this is the map to avoid?...
MH-PupaePit

[*POTS*]

No Hook, Herm was referring to the MH-MHMDeadCityVillage map. I think I've also detected the "bad" package Herm was talking about, but I don't think it could be fixed, unless someone is willing to rebuild the whole map...

OK Herm, may we have MH-PupaePit on the server then? It's only 500KB in size and there are no extra packages required.

[Spice]

ohhh THAT map

fun with two people to see who can get the better score, played it for like 2 hours alone once

yah, i have no life
