It would be nice if we had a dedicated server for drilling.

It would need to be auto reset occasionally, and it would need a mod that caps the amount of instances in the game before sv_reset is applied.

it would also need passwords, of course

forward port 25015
turn ns2+ on in mods list
open console
map ns2_summit
sv_cheats 1
profit

while this would be nice I doubt it would see much use

its much simpler to load up a server from your PC and open the ports like Jekt said and it won't strain your hardware with just 1v1

works on the fly but a listen server hosted on my shitty connection won't hoae 6 or so users that are waiting for a pug to fill up

I made a quick map for such an occasion:

Server is now online:

Community Drill Server: Compmod4/NS2+
pass: ns2nsl

As far as i have been told, servers which maintain constant sv_cheats 1, are prone to just losing all performance after a while. As for who actually have the rights to put cheats on i have no clue. I think its only the 9 head admins, and the serverowner who can do it, as casters unfortunately only can change maps and other misc.

I LOVE the idea of a drill server, and have been missing one myself, but there is still some way untill its actually doable.

the server runs a mod (DrillMod, by turts) which allows the same functions without cheats being on

yea you can use the following commands

rifle shotgun skulk gorge lerk fade respawn

respawn works different than normal, it will respawn you where you press the bind instead of where you last died. edit: and I suggest using it to respawn instead of your marine/lifeform binds.

do not wait too long to use these commands, because as soon as you're dead and your camera gets focused on the hive/chair, you will be put into third person (if you use these commands) wait it out at that point. a fix for that and a few more commands are already in the code but I want to test before I publish the new version.

I tried this yesterday and couldn't figure out how to enable armor/weapon/cara/etc. Didn't realize it was still in development. Thanks for setting up the server and writing a drill mod. Should be super useful.

Already running, restarts every 3hrs.

Just give me a sign to get rights for:
