Changes to our Server & Stats

Posted on by

cropped-logo1.jpg

From midnight on the 1st of June (GMT) our server Stat’s will be reset, This hopefully will give all players a fair chance of getting ranked 1st place and make things a little more interesting around here. After this date Stat’s will automatically reset every 3 months so the next time will be on the 1st of December then again on the 3rd of March.

We understand that this might piss a few people off but we really need to freshen the server up maybe we’ll look into some sort of hall of fame where the quarterly winner will get their name posted with all the glory :p

In other news, we’re currently rebuilding our Bot carnage server from the ground up a couple of new changes are,

  • Spawn Protection has been removed
  • Teams will scramble 25 seconds into the warm up period this we hope will stop players being shoved onto a team of just bots on their own less often.

Work on adding back a few of the old custom maps will start soon as will enabling map votes.

We hope the changes will be to your liking, Thanks to all our loyal players and as ever we look forward to seeing you on the server.

Day of Defeat Source

Posted on by

Today we have enabled Day of Defeat Source as a playable option on our server.

For those of you with the game we look forward to arranging a few games with you.

For those of you without the game go get it! its great. it’s a bit like counter-strike source without the buying system and set in World War 2.

Theres a few different game types but its mostly capture the points (rather like TF2) and plant bombs to blow up objectives put simply.

As with most source games things like our admin mod works etc. There are a ton of custom maps that can be played (Anyone who has played the orange TF2 maps will find these came from dod:s )

Expect to see it playing on our 85.236.100.12:27115 server very soon.

Changes to Bot Carnage

Posted on by

Engie__s_Revenge_by_naughtyme1.jpg

Hi Peoples, bit of good news and some short term bad news. 1st Our TF2 server has been updated to the new SteamPipe update system this will mean much faster map loads and for players it’ll be much faster to patch the game. It’ll also be much better when it comes to mods they are more like the L4D2 vpk system so its 1 click install for new maps (if you do them by hand, otherwise they will be downloaded from our fast redirect in the normal way)

2nd Due to the upgrade to this system our custom maps no longer work (our host has made a new install of the server files on the blade server) in the long term our custom maps will return (only the most played maps) in the very short term we’ll be running as a pure server (that means no radio or quake sounds etc) only stock maps and maps that work with bots out of the box will be in rotation. Stat’s will still be collected but not seen on the server to view stat’s visit our website http://www.bunchonabs.com/

The normal server will return in some form very soon but bear in mind this will take me a little while due to the sheer number of custom maps we run, It’s likely I’ll add a few back at a time and do regular updates, Your feedback as to what maps to bring back (or even new ones if we have them) will be the priory in these updates. MvM is not affected and we’ll put it online from time to time as per normal. I’d like to thank each & every one of you for your support. Crankster

Bunch o’Nabs 10 Man Mann vs Machine

Posted on by

TF2MvM After quite a bit of testing and plenty of good feedback we’re delighted to add 10 man MvM to the options playable on our TF2 Server.

Here’s the current feature set.

  • Supports upto 10 players* see note below
  • Play Tetris or Snake while waiting for players, just type !tetris or !snake.
  • As per normal with most of our Source profiles Frag Radio is supported.
  • MvM Stats – Shows the total damage players make.

*The plugin does not increase visible max players, so our server will appear to have 6(or more)/6 (or will appear to be full). The extra four players will have to connect through console (“connect 85.236.100.12:27115″) to properly connect.

We hope to be playing lots of MvM this is likely to be in the evenings & at weekends any time.

We will try to announce in advance when we are playing MvM to give the chance for our server to fill up with our regular players rather than from the MvM pool, this will likely be via our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/bunchonabs & Twitter @bunchonabs & maybe by Steam Announcement.

Enjoy!

Announcement

Posted on by

cropped-logo1.jpg

Its with great sadness that we have to report that we will need to close a number of our Dayz servers.

Our partners at the >Mugs< Clan are to close after 10 years after being one of the biggest Call of Duty Clans along with the closeure they will be letting go of their Dedi Box that hosts their servers along with the Dayz servers.

Servers Affected:

  • Days Taviana
  • Arma2 Wasteland

Our TF2 & Mumble servers will be staying online along with

  • Namalsk
  • Bunch o’Nabs Mumble
  • Any other Source game profile we run from time to time

Hand of Friendship

Having been a regular player on the >Mugs< servers over the years it deeply saddens me to hear they will be closing I met loads of quality people in the 4 years or so I was involved with >Mugs< starting way back when I joined the >Regs< I found them to be crazy funny and brilliant fun & mostly very welcoming of new players, its that sprit I’ve always tried to keep going with Bunch o’Nabs. Sure there was quite a few up’s & downs over the years. I remember at one point when I was in the >Mugs< Admin Team (that feels weird to type after all these years) their had been a falling out with one of the other admin’s and we lost not only the website but our main server box. all we had left was our Team Speak and the server box myself & Spuddy brought along with us when we joined the >Mugs< (that crashed after a few days and could not be brought back online for at least 2 weeks!!!) so we rented a couple of small clan servers and converted the |GiT CLAN| (another of mine & Spuddy’s past projects) website into a quick makeshift website & forums that I’m pleased to say served us well for a good long time! we even had a member of the clan who made us some nice banners to replace the crude git banner. I must say that it was one of the toughest times I’ve ever had to encounter as an admin but it was the sheer spirit of our members who kept us working hard to keep the clan alive.

Even tough I myself had a major falling out with some of the other clan leaders I can honestly say I’m glad I did my bit to keep things going and I have to say hats off to Nukey & Spuddy (the people who kept the clan going for a long time after my departure)

I’ll be raising a toast to >Mugs< & fondly remembering all of the brilliant laughs & memories I had in my time with the clan.

I’ll also go as far to say that 98% of ex >Mugs< are always welcome on our servers & Mumble.

and as a mark of respect I’ll now sign off this post with my old tags.

This is >Mugs< Crankey Mug **** wishing everyone all the best for the future and happy fragging! what ever game you play & what ever clan you might join.

A little lick of paint for the website

Posted on by

under-construction

As you can likely see we’ve updated the website to the latest versions of our back end software and given it a little lick of paint here and there.

My aim was to make the website less TF2 like and more of a gaming community site while looking bright, moden and most of all fun!

Since we launched the website waaaay back in April we have seen Traffic grow month on month and since then very little changed until now. The forums also now support our new logo & motto and no longer look like a out of the box install of the software. In the next few weeks we aim to add further improvements to the site like a mobile enhanced template, The website looks o.k as it stands but  bringing improvements like this should be less bandwith intensive for our mobile/tablet viewers. Our forums already have a mobile/tablet template see THIS post for more info.

Hope you like the changes, feedback is always welcome as ever.

Bunch o’ Nabs has branched out !

Posted on by

We now have 3 Servers Running for the DayZ mod for arma 2, our ultimate goal is to have a popular community hive linking many servers together on the same database but for now we are trialling a few different hosts to find out which ones will suit us best..

The servers we have right now are:

DE #3286 (v1.7.4.4/build 99153) [VETERAN|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT-6]dayzmod.com – Hosted by the Mugs Clan (213.165.69.57:2314)

UK 1314 Namalsk (v1.7.4.4/Beta 99153) [Veteran] [3DP:ON CH:ON] [GMT-6] – hosted by Bunch O’ Nabs | SurvivalServers.com (5.9.123.228:6302)

These servers are all running now and are proving to be popular, They are all running Gotcha Antihack and are monitered by myself and others most of the time so if there is a hacker they are normally dealt with swiftly.

If you want to try them out and not sure how full details are being posted in the forums with all the info needed on what you need to play.

Please leave any feedback, suggestions & cheat reports in the forums.

Anyway back to trying to survive and i hope to see you on the servers soon.
