Server Sponsorship
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2016 9:18 pm
I talked to deen about a year ago about donating/sponsoring for servers and I've forgotten about it since, mostly because my priority was to find a decent host first. Now that I've found a good, reliable server, with several months of playing of them now, I found it satisfactory. It's in the US and I understand that there's already a US server, but my server offers decent pings to a lot of Latin American players, while the current one offers good pings to northern Mexicans, but not so much for others.
However, I do have some concerns on performance with a lot of players being connected. I already host several servers on it, maximum 20 players which is very rare, 6-10 players for some hours per day without any problems. But I haven't done any network stress test. So I thought I might start with one DDrace, one Block, and one zCatch.
What is the minimum, for a lack of better word, amount of authentication do I need to provide? I'm actually willing to give root access, but there wasn't much info around on how to become a server sponsor, so I thought I'd ask.
Further, with the Bam update, I'm trying to get the Teerace server hosted, but I don't know how to deal with the new Bam update to compile a Teerace server. If I can help on this while DD servers are being dispatched, I would appreciate it.
Where are the server binaries for some of the DD servers? For example, I wasn't able to find zCatch that's uniquely hosted by DDNet servers and it's a great version of zCatch. May I also know who the coders are for each of the mods?
