Whiplash and his server idea

2015-12-22


21:08 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: So - I am hopiung to set up a media group like Linus Media Group (If you know who they are) and create a community that creates YT videos - Music - Movies and Game Server
21:08 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: And I am hoping to have a Roleplay server with factions and ic/ooc chats
21:09 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: I have many other scripts made for RP servers but none are factions or chat
21:09 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: I was looking around and saw that you had your Alphas Factions script that is on nologam... is that pureley for nolo or is that a possibility?

21:13 - DaAlpha: Literally everything you find on Nologam is coded for a specific script environment. The majority of my scripts would not even work outside of the server I created it in because several global functions and events, as well as database tables are missing.

21:13 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: Oh.... ok
21:14 - DaAlpha: Asides from that, I am not quite a big fan of giving scripts out on demand. Either I manage the entire server or nothing. And since I do not have time for 2 servers ...
21:14 - DaAlpha: Do you guys even have a coder?
21:14 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: No - I am hiring one soon, I am trying to find someone who wants to do it
21:16 - DaAlpha: Ah well, good luck with that.
21:16 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: Thanks, do you know anyone?
21:18 - DaAlpha: Was expecting that question. To be honest, I think I do not. I mean asides from server owners like Jason, Jman and Fkids, there are people like Garmelon who code for other servers. No idea whether or not he is actually available. You should take a look around the forums. I can imagine that there might be coders who are looking for a server to code for.
21:19 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: Ok
21:20 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: Thanks!
21:29 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: https://www.jc-mp.com/forums/index.php/topic,5812.0.html
21:29 - Whiplash -= DMG =-: Is that like what I need to do?
21:30 - DaAlpha: Not quite sure if it is the right subforum but that could work. Asides from that, you can look around the releases subforum and see who the people are who actively release scripts and PM them.

14:21 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Having a small issue
14:21 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: I cant seem to get the server to show up in the JCMP menu
14:21 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Meaning I cant join
14:21 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: It started when I changed the server name
14:21 - DaAlpha: Did you set "announce" to anything but true?
14:21 - DaAlpha: If so, there is your reason.
14:22 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Let me check
14:22 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Announce                    = true,
14:23 - DaAlpha: Are the ports forwarded? If not, I will not tell you how you do that.
14:23 - DaAlpha: Google is your friend.
14:33 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =- is now Online.
14:34 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: How do I see id the ports are forwarded?
14:34 - DaAlpha: Pretty much the same way you forward them.
14:34 - DaAlpha: In your router.
14:35 - DaAlpha: What are you even running the server on btw?
14:35 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Its hosted by a company
14:35 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: not by me
14:36 - DaAlpha: Wait, you actually have a server hoster already? I am surprised.
14:36 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: We pay 2.50 a month...
14:36 - DaAlpha: Yeah, then you are running on garbage.
14:36 - DaAlpha: Did you rent an actual vServer or root server or is it a managed gameserver?
14:38 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Its a managed gamesever
14:38 - DaAlpha: As I expected.
14:38 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: We get control panel and things but we dont host from our machines
14:38 - DaAlpha: Well yeah, it is better than running it over someone's home internet, that is for sure.
14:38 - DaAlpha: Then the ports are forwarded or rather have to be.
14:39 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: But how do I fix it?
14:39 - DaAlpha: How would I know?
14:39 - Whiplash -= DMG Owner =-: Coz you are dev for other server
