DMR 1 now on 300KB/s and DMR 2 on 60? Have you got that the wrong way round fella ?

Little history lesson. Dead Men Walking host all of our servers CS:S LFS, CoD4, Left 4 Dead and whatever is flavour of the month.
I started the Dead Men Racing nKP server on my own because...

When interest was shown, it was felt to be a good thing for dMw to host a nKP server. That's how it became DMR 2. But, as it is the biggest, fattest server it should be designated Dead Men Racing and my homey little server is now in it's correct place of #2 (we all know what #2 is don't we? :norty:)
DMR 2 will now be used as a backup, as is my LFS #2
For the time being we'll run the F1600 and when a few other dMr guys cough up â,¬37, we'll run it along the lines of LFS i.e. a different combo per week. Who knows, maybe a long race evening.
How's that?

Lovely.

I'm an expert in confusion:doh: and i haven't even touched a drop of booze either

(actually that's I lie. I have now, but i hadn't at the time)

I had the horrible "crash into nothing" situation earlier though. Obviously a weird bug that one. Very rare, but a right pita when it happens.
Note to self:- STFU and just race....

A longer race evening would be a very good idea, when combined with full mode. Full mode certainly makes you approach your racing differently as there is no safety net if mistakes are made. You certainly can't have an incident at the first corner, escape back to the pits, fix your car, and rejoin, and only lose half a lap! A different combo every week as well (FF1800 at Monaco makes me shudder, but what the hey) can only improve things IMHO. How about a 25 lap race at aviano inter1 just to test the water?

Just dropping by for a quick hello. Registered to join in on the NKP servers. I'm the same Mattesa from the LFS forums.

Cheers!

Welcome mate. Make yourself at home.

Are you still in demo mode? We are getting our share of plonkers but hopefully that'll even out a bit. What's your name in nKP?

Mattesa · January 13, 2009, 12:12:12 AM

On NKP I'm "M. Lucky" from Canada. I am still a demo user, but a well behaved one, so don't worry.

Thanks for the welcome!

I see the server is now set to run the Falkenberg track. However it appears that the .rar archive for this track is corrupted ATM. I tried installing it, but it gave me a bunch of error messages. Could anyone else check if it works for them? Here is the download link from Lastplace Racing.

Doorman · January 16, 2009, 06:38:23 PM

That's where Deetz and I and presumably Scratchy got it from and we were all on it last night. Download it again maybe?

Gnomie · January 16, 2009, 07:09:33 PM

I tried one of the alternative download links (the Badongo one) and now it works!

The megaupload link appears to be the one with the corrupted archive.

See you online!

Doorman · January 18, 2009, 01:32:09 AM

Spa francorchamps for the next couple days. I didn't think F1600s would be any good round here....WRONG! :woot2:

obsolum · January 20, 2009, 08:03:50 PM

Alright, because I was getting a bit bored with LFS a couple days ago I went and downloaded the nKPro demo. Man, this is something else. Took me quite a while before I managed to complete a lap without crashing on Spa (only track that I really know). Anyway, I changed the G25 settings in profiler using the settings Ron so kindly provided in the other thread and it feels a bit better now. I'm still learning and driving nowhere near the limit, constantly afraid of losing it. The car seems so fragile!

Anyway, I thought I'd join the dMr server to do some laps but I don't see any servers in the server list. Is there something that I need to configure before I can retrieve a list of servers or something? Or possibly a specific port that I need to open up/forward in my router settings?

Click refresh or put 77.108.129.45:9500 in the add server box. Have you looked for a setup? There are lots for the F1600
I'm going on now after a bit of faffinf with network cards etc. :sideways:

obsolum · January 20, 2009, 08:41:44 PM

Thanks. Yeah, I got a setup for Spa. I only found one, though, at that site you mentioned in the stickied thread. I'll join ya for a few laps. I don't suppose you can chat like you can in LFS? Can't join Ventrilo now, too much background noise :sad:
