DOD -Source - and server rental

Post by regbosek »

Before I make a decision on renting a server I need a few questions answered...please!

1- How hard is it to ban and kick and slap players..do I have that power- (I am a newbe )

2- When I make a server connection on Steam can I choose what Map to play

3- What Maps can I play that are listed with your server. :lol:

4- Any Orange maps listed

5-I am on a ymap connection,will I have any lag or ping problems?

Thank You

This is relatively easy to do. You can ban and kick directly through rcon (using the control panel or in-game), even without a plugin. Slapping would require running a server plugin system such as Sourcemod or Mani.
2- When I make a server connection on Steam can I choose what Map to play
This is something that you would need to do on the server side, by configuring its starting map and mapcycle (the "Easy setup" page in the control panel can be used for this). You can also change the map on the fly by using the "changelevel" command through rcon.
3- What Maps can I play that are listed with your server. :lol:
4- Any Orange maps listed
We include the default Valve maps, but you're welcome to download and add your own through the server FTP, as well. Maps generally need to be uploaded to the "maps" folder in the FTP, and then become usable.
5-I am on a ymap connection,will I have any lag or ping problems?
I'm not familiar with ymap specifically, but a good way to check out how the server might perform would be to test another one at your desired location. You will also be able to test your own server during the free trial period for a full two days. During that period, you can reconfigure it if you need to, including by moving it do a different location.
