New Left 4 Dead game server

As my Infinity broadband is so much better than when I was with Virgin I decided to run my own game server on my line.
I am now hosting a new 22 slot l4d game server, so if anyone here plays l4d give it a try.

Or you can check out my new forums at gamesunited.eu
I Also have player stats installed.

Welcome to the forums!! Glad to have someone enthusiastic around!
And yes, you're in the right place to make gaming announcements. All we've been hearing about the last few weeks has been about the Sims 3 from Dorothy (she gets really excited about her games).
So, yeah, welcome again! Have fun checking out the forums!
Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

How can I replace an older save file with a new one on game center?

Greetings,
I have been trying to change an older game saved file that I have created with my old Ipad with the new one that I have created on my new Ipad, both game files are played under my apple ID but I have no idea how to replace my older one with the new one.
The new file is superior to the old one so I wish to add the new saved file to my game center.
The game I am playing is Clash of Clans both file are created on apple products.
Let me know if there is a sulotion for that case.

Make sure the site folder created by iWeb is named exactly the same as the site folder currently on the server.

Game server: Map managing questions

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to develop some kind of RPG. I have different issues, where I need advice:
1) Map(2D) managment on game server
The map I want to keep in memory on server will contain objects such as: Item, NPC, Character, etc.
Item, NPC, Character and other objects going to extend MapObject class, because I want to keep all this data in same place.
Let's suppose that the map will have 50x50 tiles..
I want to use Hashtable array to store elements there... So I will have something like this:
Hashtable <String, MapObject>[][] map = new Hashtable[50][50];
String(aka key) is going to be object_name + "_" + object_id..
The questions are:
- What about performance in this situation?
- Is there any other data structure which can suite better to this situation?
2) The other question I have is about sending map object(once in fixed period of time) and updates(for example some character walked or picked an item).
The architecture I thought for sending data to client is:
TCP Connection for authentication anc chat
MultiCast Socket for synchronizing map object and sending updates
- Is this aceptable architecture for server?
- Is MultiCast socket good for sending updates and map object?(because there will be significant gain in term of computation on server, comparing to TCP, but what about losses of packets? what about traffic? what kind of protections(excluding timeouts) should I implement on client-side? )
Thank you in advance.

How comes?Well, one reason is that your test is broken. The first set of tests will always take longer, cause it's before hotspot has kicked in, etc. I moved the test to a method, precreated the objects (remember, if gc happens in one and not the other it's a huge difference), and called them repeatedly. Once I did that, there wasn't really a noticeable difference between them:
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Random;
public class HashMapTest
   private static MapObject[] objs = new MapObject[200000];
   private static Random gen = new Random();
   public static void main(String [] agrs)
      for ( int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++ ) {
         objs[i] = new MapObject("ID" + i, "NAME"+i);
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
   private static void hashMap() {
      doTest(new HashMap<String, MapObject>());
   private static void hashTable() {
      doTest(new Hashtable<String, MapObject>());
   private static void doTest(Map<String, MapObject> map) {
      long start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
      for (int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++)
         map.put(objs.id , objs[i]);
for (int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++)
int randomInt = gen.nextInt(objs.length);
map.get("ID" + randomInt);
System.out.println(map.getClass() + ": " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start_time));
class MapObject
String name;
String id;
public MapObject (String id, String name)
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}Results of one arbitrary test:

Putting the Displays to Sleep with Game Server Running

I have a game server, ok?
I have the console box on my desktop, which runs the sever (COD2) and keeps it active.
I try to put my displays to sleep ( hot corner bottom left ), but it always turns back on again. I don't want to put my computer to sleep because I have an active webserver and if I enable sleep mode, the webserver will stop listening.
Is there a way to keep my displays shut off with my computer still active, but still have the Game Server running fro my desktop console box running the server?

Something is waking the display up then--it might even be that server connection.
Do the brightness keys lower the display brightness to an "off" state? I know they do on the Mac notebooks.
I know that wouldn't be the best solution, but that would get the result you're looking for.

New to the game and need some quick help

I have been thrown our exisiting phone infrastructure and what do you know we are having some issues.
We have a new series of DID's and when they are dialed from our directory they go anywhere? Not routing to the proper extension. Translation pattern looks good in comparison to the extensions that are working.

First thing to know is that everything that has a DN can be used for routing, so it's a good idea to look at the route plan report to find matches.
If you can't find an exact match, chances are you're hitting something with wildcards ie X, [1-2], etc
An easy way to check routing if you're new to the game is to use DNA

I am trying to download the new episode of Game of Thrones on my iPad. We are currently travelling in Italy and have an unlimited pre- paid data plan with the Italian carrier Wind. When I try download the episode through iTunes I get an error message

Hi there, traveling through Italy with my iPad. Purchased a unlimited prepaid data plan with Italian carrier WIND. Has been working excellent, but when I try to download a new episode of Game of Thrones, I get an error message which says that I have to connect to a wi fi network or download the episode on my MacBook. Why can't I download using the microsim and prepaid data plan? Any help will be great thank you!

Unfortunately downloads larger than 20mbps require wifi due to most carriers having data limits. This "requirement" keeps people who are not familiar with data and what takes up a lot of data from going over.

Why can't I connect to the game server

why can't I connect to the game server from my ipod touch?

Do you have Wi-Fi connection? Start any app with Game Center feature.

Game server, home network, SD2005 switch, need to add wireless...

OK, I have my cable modem going directly to game server (PC running windows xp as game host), PC has 2 NIC's. Second NIC goes to SD2005 switch to 2 home gaming PC's, printer, playstation 3. Goal was to have gaming server direct access to internet.... Allow our PC's to access games without going outside intranet. How do I hook up WRT310N to the sd2005 and then run the Printer, Playstation3 off the WRT310N??? Or am I making this way to complicated???lol
I also have a ethernet hookup for a workbench too that I swap out connections on the SD2005 for repairing PC's...
So, In a nutshell
PC gaming host
2 gaming PC's
Ethernet printer
Ethernet Playstation3
Ethernet connection to workbench
Need to add the WRT310N v2 to get wireless
Need gigabit access to internet for all but printer & Playstation
Have SD2005 gigabit switch
1 gaming PC needs access to website host for FTP without all the security problems (which has been a pain with Vista)
SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO.... I know just enough to make a mess...lol

As you want the game server directly connected to your internet connection it must operate as your internet gateway for all other devices. For that, you have to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the game server. Use the Windows wizard to set it up. Share the internet netconnection from the 1st NIC to the LAN on the 2nd NIC. Of course, with this kind of setup your game server must be up and running whenever you want to use your LAN.
Your game server will use static IP 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on the 2nd NIC and provides DHCP.
Now connect the SD2005 to the 2nd NIC. Wire another computer to the SD2005 and it should get an IP address 192.168.0.* and should have internet through the game server.
Set up the WRT as simple wireless access point. Wire a computer to a LAN port of the WRT. Open the web interface http://192.168.1.1/ Now change the LAN IP address of the WRT from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.254 and turn off the DHCP server. Save settings. You'll loose the connection. Unplug the computer. Now wire one of the LAN ports of the WRT to the SD2005. Do not use the internet port of the WRT!
That's it. Don't forget to configure the wireless on the WRT through the web interface now at http://192.168.0.254/
Your LAN computers can access the game server directly on the LAN IP address 192.168.0.1 or through its public IP address.

PS2013 - When creating a new instance of Project Server hangs in 'Waiting for resources' status

Hi,
I have one instance of Project Server 2013 fully operational and I tried to duplicate the instance to make some tests. As I know the issue of using the same Content Database of Project Server in the same Server Farm, I used the powershell backup/restore/dismount
and mount the content database to change the site IDs to avoid index duplication. The Project server database was a regular SQL backup and restore in another database.
I created a new Web App in the port 90 as show below.
Then I included the Content database of Project Server as separated DB from SharePoint for this new SharePoint -acme90 and I tried to create the new instance. The creation hanged in "Waiting for Resources" status.
To make another check excluding the reuse of the SharePoint-80 I tried to create another instance both in the SharePoint-80 where is the working instance and in the SharePoint-90, everything default and again they all hanged in Waiting for Resource.
If I try to create the instance using PowerShell I got the following error:
PS C:\Users\epm_setup> Mount-SPProjectWebInstance -DatabaseName Test_EPM -SiteCo
llection http://acme02/epm -Lcid 1046
Mount-SPProjectWebInstance : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url:

   PSCmdletMountPwaInstance) [Mount-SPProjectWebInstance], SPCmdletPipeBindEx
ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Cmdlet.PSCmdletM
   ountPwaInstance
All SharePoint and Project Server services are running, all App Pools and sites are started at the IIS. I could not find a hanging timer job.
I cannot stop the hanged process or dismount the instances using Powershell since no instance created.
How should I solve the hanging status of creation of the instance? As they are in Hyper-V I can go back using one snapshot.
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Hi Eric,
Thank your for your interest in this case.
I checked for running and crashed PWA jobs and deleted all of them just after restoring the snapshot and tried to create the new instance in the new web app in port 90 (besides the existing and working instance in port 80), but again it hanged in "waiting
for resources". There is not any timer job hanging, no error in event viewer or in log. So the error is well before working with cloned dbs.
Answering your questiion, I am working all on 2013. My intention is backup one instance of the port 80 and copy to the instance of port 90, changing of course the url and the index of the content db of SharePoint. The process I used was:
Create a new web app in port 90, creating a new SharePoint_Content_2 on a
http://server:90 site.
Created the top level site called Portal using the Team Site template.
Create a new content db for new instance of Project Server named EPM_Content_2 using Central Admin.
Backup content db from port 80 instance of Project Server and restore to this EPM_content_2 using PowerShell cmd.
Dismounted and mounted this Project Server content db to create new index for existing sites to avoid index conflicts.
Backup the Project Server DB from port 80 using SQL backup and restored as ProjectWebApp2 db for port 90 instance.
Tried to create a new instance of Project Server
http://server:90/pwa on web app of port 90 using the ProjectWebApp2 db and using the same app pool of the other instance. But as in the previous case, it hang out in "Waiting for resources".
