FDG merged with VSS, a clan with a shared history, a while back.

We now have a new shared website partially operational:

http://fdgserver.net/tag/

Please use this new website for all future discussion.

Due to popular demand (and not just by FDG members) I’ve restarted our hosting of Team Fortress 2, running only custom maps. FastDL is also enabled and working.

You’ll find our new TF2 server at fdgserver.net:27018. All the maps on there currently are made by goons from Something Awful.

In other news, I’ve set up a basic website on the server that lets you see what games are running and join them from there; going to fdgserver.net will now show you that.

My Windows installation computer shot itself in the face recently, so I may not be accessible on steam. If you need to contact me for whatever reason, use MSN, ICQ, AIM, YIM or Google Talk (you can see my account details on the forums).

Work on the server will continue (in fact it’s going faster now than before because I don’t have games to distract me).

The server is back up and running Zombie Panic, the original multiplayer zombie modification that inspired CS:S Zombie Mod.

If you haven’t already got Zombie Panic, you can download it from http://www.zombiepanic.org/. The server is running at:

fdgserver.net:27015

If this server proves popular, an additional one may be introduced. I’m still working on CS:S, and it will be back as soon as I can get everything working.

This message only affects users with an @fdgames.co.uk email address. Other members can safely ignore this message.

It’s come to my attention that due to a problem with my hosting company’s email system, emails sent to @fdgames.co.uk email addresses may not be reaching their intended recipients. If you use one of these addresses, you may have noticed some missing email. Any misdirected emails will be forwarded to the correct address as soon as possible.

There is no security risk and no data loss - these emails were forwarded to an address I control, and have not been opened. However, you should change your details on any websites you use an @fdgames.co.uk email address with to use an alternate address until the problem can be resolved.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you’re wondering why nothing’s been working on the server, I’ve had a lot of work to do recently. Things should be sorted soon, and I’m working on a couple of plugins for a custom CS:S server that I will be bringing online shortly.

If you’re awaiting the return of zombie mod: don’t worry, it will be back! The plugin as it is now seems to have compatability issues with the latest metamod, so I’ll have to roll back the metamod version.

The Zombie Strike server is having technical problems related to Zombie Mod being incompatible with the new Metamod beta. More info soon.

The server is back up and running at fdgserver.net:27015. It’s usable (but default settings) now, but some changes are coming up soon:

- Better settings
- Fast downloads
- Admin mod
- Stat tracking

A TeamSpeak server is now available at fdgserver.net:8767.

If you think you should have channel or server admin, contact me on Steam.

You can find out how to use TeamSpeak with our server in this helpful forums guide.

The server password is swordfish if one is enabled

…for the upcoming (by the end of this week!) Zombie Mod 2 server.

I’ll be setting up Fast Downloads before the server is playable. Please send me anything you want to be on there when it launches!

I’ll soon be redoing the server to run the following games:

- Zombie Strike Classic (CS:S with Zombie Mod and some fancy scripts)

- Team Fortress 2 (running the best custom maps)

If anyone has any feedback on this plan please let me know!
