damo Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Hi guys, posting this here after enquiring on your Discord. Just wondering if I could pick one of your ET server guys' brains about something? Myself and some buds are having a LAN in a few weeks and we'd like to play some ET online on the same server - but all the servers seem to only allow 3 players from one IP address. I'm thinking of trying to set it up myself in a VPS, but if you guys could help out (can pay!) it may be a lot easier. So if you have any advice I'd like to chat about it! damo / errol.VPL 1 Quote
RendeL Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 @daredevil might be able to help with this. I quess you have tried each setting up a different port when going to server? Like 27960,27961,27962... Quote
damo Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 Hey thanks for reply. No, haven't tried that, I thought we could only use the same port the server is listening on. But you've got me thinking Quote
RendeL Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Yes well you just add in the target line +connect "ip.ip.ip.ip.ip:port and should be fine. In case you dont know how, right click on et quicklaunch and select properties and the ip/port you add after the installation path. A space must be left beetween or it wont work. Here's example of mine: "D:\Wolfenstein - Enemy territory\etl.exe" +connect "b2.clan-fa.com:27960" Quote
damo Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 Thanks. I thought if I +connect "b2.clan-fa.com:27960" or +connect "b2.clan-fa.com:27961" it is a different server, not the port I want to connect out of. Will try this though thanks. 1 Quote

That would connect you to different servers. i think what RendeL is talking about is the net_port command. On each computer, open the console and type net_port with a different value. Then connect to the server. 1 Quote
RendeL Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Yes sorry I remembered it wrong. Do as @Mufasa said and it will work Thx for the help for old memory! Quote
damo Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 That seems to work mate, I just tried it on your 27950 pro server. Got 4 instances of ET connected 😮 Will have to test it a bit more before the day as I don't want a total fail when we try then, but thanks for the tip! Could it be so easy?! 1 Quote

damo Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 😛 No problem, we'd be glad to, thanks for the help you're really saving us a big headache @ daredevil, don't really mind which server - most of us haven't played for ages, so our skill level is ... likely not to be great... There are probably a few old favourite custom maps we'd like to play, but apart from that we'd be happy if we can just join a server with some fun loving ET freaks and have a few nice games on some maps we know. I'd need to get back to you about some particular maps, but if you've any suggestions fire away. I've been on your servers before but I don't really know which one I went back to as I don't play regularly at all these days. Appreciate your help sirs! Quote

You didn't answer my another question How many players from same IP? Example how many of you would be playing together? Quote
damo Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 Sorry, missed that bit! I think we will be maybe 6-8 players and we usually like around 16-24 players total as bigger gets a bit manic for us old guys. 😛 Will you need to know our public IP or anything? 1 Quote
