Default Getting a New Server Tommorow.

Hello AvaMods! I have been looking into getting a server for a good while now. My current clan just crashed, lots of probs with other Admins, they where too lazy and eventually quit altogether. Plus leader abandoned us leaving me with all responsibility, but zero control over server and site

Well, one other clan mate and I say we have had enough and after discussing it for 2 weeks decided to start a new clan and run it properly.

I thought I had a lot of good ideas for the new server, however, after finding AvaMods a couple of days ago, I relized I was aiming very low lol. You guys rock! I love the mods you have i.e. tackling and weapons jams.

I was hoping that you can help this noob get his server set up and on its way with a few mods in place and how to's. I have never ran a server save for admin in-game and I really have no idea what to do. I have been trying to learn, however, the instructions where written for people with an advanced degree in computer tech!



Anywho, I belive if I add you as a reference when getting a new server yall get a discount. That will be my undying thanks if you can help me out.




Getting server tomorrow:
What site do I need to go to to get a server in which you will benifit?


What to do from there?:
What happens when I buy it? What are the steps I need to do to do the following:

1. Make it so that it works.
2. What important must have plug-ins do i need?

3. How do i add my friend to Admin

4. Adding these mods
a. Start 80% health
b. Changing weapons i.e. 2 slots for bazooka, 1 mg, no snipers, etc.
c. How do I download and install one your mods such as weapons jam (should be able to know how to do rest after that)
5. Changing beginning logo and music intro.

6. Are there any other important things I should know and how do I do them?

that is a lot of questions..

Do you have any prior experience in configuring/running a game server?.

if you cannot understand the basics written in tech form, then give up now. or pay someone to do it

Really who knows if I will need help or not since I have yet to actually buy the server, however, just browsing through Gameservers.com forums I have seen almost every person have trouble with something. And you know what, if I cannot do it, I could pay, but Id rather at least have a good idea of how it works so that I could fix future bugs or whatever.

(Unfortunately I do not have ANY computer techy guys around me, Im in the military and far away from home and a few people I know who could do this with no problem)

Thanks for deciding to help. If or when I choose to pay someone to do it for me would you be interested? Most of the plug-ins I want come from YOU guys lol. And the others I could probably find before you even start.

LOLS

i used game servers, same as avamods does. Tech support is very helpful and the online forums they have tought me ALL the basics about setting up the server and running it. If u really cant grasp the concept of running the server by reading post on their forums and their tutorials then well you know

As for the mods, depends on wut admin program you chose (admin mod or amxx mod) from there u then join their forums and read up. took me about a week or 2 to get my server to wut i wanted with the mods, settings, etc...

so yea choose wut u want and what they have to offer. And just be prepared to read up alot and you'll be able to grasp it

ALL those questions u asked can be found all on the game servers site and forums. Same with the MODs u wanna add, their site there forums.

ps. dont jump right into "omg i need the this mod that mod, change the loading music blahblah blah" there were quite a few mods i wasn't able to get up and running. just get the basic server up and running, get to know your ftp and wut each folder has.

i knew nothing about running and maintaining a server, im no high tech computer guy. im a average 20 yr old who learned all of it from read.

The forums will literally be your bible

well due to more beer i wont be posting a lot tonight either lol..

but i would reccomend getting metamod-p up (1.19p32 is latest)

the install for that is very simple and anyone should be able to handle that lol..

then put AMXmodX on.. the install for that is pretty simple but it confuses alot of people.. but remember when you do that to also download and install the mod package as well as the base

anywho.. im a bit fucked up so good luck for now lmao
