Any server can be a BR server, just vote for it. Jeux should be coming back online soon.

I think I speak for most if not all the dev team... I lost motivation to keep working on SG when we started having to ban players. Its not just the cheating but the total and utter disrespect for other players. We used to have a good buch of players on, but now I have no interest in playing because of the childish players that are on now.

I worked my butt off making new maps: Lago, ComancheCanyon and didn't get too much feedback. Others made maps and they all can be played on TeraNova... I didn't see too many people on that server :| I should be finishing DeathValleyMine shortly.

Good idea. Care to take on that responsibility? Public relation requires patients and respect... no matter how irritating the other person is.

SG has gone through tough times before. It will endure as long as there are a few dedicated players.... but remember... it is a 10+ year old game, not everyone is enthusiastic to play it.

jeux is already up and it was almost full earlier today.
On a side note, fail clan is organising a br cup (fail cup 2012)and they are already 10 clans registered (that means at least 40 people).As for the old players,most of them have stopped for the reason Pardner said.Cheaters have appeared the last 2-3 and if we didnt ban them ,the community would shrink even more.And as i can see the servers with the stricter rules are the most popular (jeux for br and ballerbude for dm)

@Pardner: Jeux is online now. I can understand your feeling about childish players, but this is where good admins are really important.

About your maps, I think Lago is a GREAT map and, as *LAME* clan, we enjoyed it in many weekly clan deathmatches.
I don't really know why ComancheCanyon is not so requested, personally I think it's a great map --more a BR map than a DM one-- but still something totally new and well done. If I should start designing a new map today, I'd start from ComancheCanyon. I can't wait for DeathValleyMine, that looks like a Comanche improved.
Nice work. Keep on.

The problem now seems to be master servers. Without them, no way to make this game survive.

Other games have allready fixed this problem, so there has to be a way.

There is a simple temporary solution, no idea why it hasn't been implemented yet. You can add the ip's of the most polpular servers in the default config as favorites, at least you can get some serverlist ingame.

Don't panic. ;-) We're working on creating a new SG-specific master server.

You can add it to your game/monsterbrowser and can have your servers send heartbeat to it, via sv_master1 (2, 3, 4, 5...) variables.

Just set something like this:

\seta sv_master3 "parttimegeeks.net"

@rane: Great.
I suppose that your new master server is not working yet, because I can't get a new list in game, but when it will be up and running this is sure a news to be published in big evidence in home page, IMO.

I didn't know of this option before, but I suppose it could be done writing for instance:
seta server1 "212.65.13.87:27960"
in your q3config.cfg file.
I tried just now, but it doesn't show up in game server list. What am I doing wrong?

This didn't work for me, I had to add the port to make it work:
sv_master1 "parttimegeeks.net:27950"


Also, as ricochet said, not all servers are reporting to this master yet.

Yes, only sv_master1 seems to be queried for the ingame list.

That's cool - thanks for the effort.

But there has to be something done from the official side. New players won't struggle with config-changes. They download the game, see that there are no servers and uninstall it again.

I believe that SG is/will losing players on a daily base as long as the this issue isn't fixed.
