Join and find out :D

been away—how’s the server rn? 😎

If you do make sure its trough traditional mapping and not vscript.

I'll do it.. for a price

I wish someone made a skibidi toilet themed map

I wish someone made a skyrim themed map :d

There is currently a massive DDoS attack on all locations of our anti-ddos provider, I think a lot of legitimate hl2dm traffic is being blocked in the crossfire. I have informed our host of this, if you get stuck on parsing client info please try again later.

Improved the cleanup routine, should be good again

Ran out of disk space while I was busy with IRL stuff, should be cleaned up enough to fix itself now

why is the server offline?

how are you henky

Hey fred!

hi all

Valve destroyed the branch we used to apply automatic updates to the server, as a result they trashed bouncy's instance. Currently restoring from backup to hopefully get things back online.

Migration is done, enjoy the new 7950X3D. Will be fun to see if stairway hell is even more lag free now!

Goodluck on the upgrade Scanner

Bouncy is getting a CPU upgrade tonight, expect it to be down for 15-30 minutes at some point so the host can migrate the machine.

Don't like the chat filter? Wasn't us, but with the new !censor command its now easy to turn it off!

Merry Christmas to you all! Hope awesome gaming laptops are under your trees wrap up in bright paper and large bows. But most of all that family and friends are close to enjoy even if you don't get the laptop, Don't forget what and who this season is for and give him the glory He desires. Again, Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to playing with you all in Bouncy for many years to come. Thanks Henky and Rusty and others for such a fun server and all the work you do on it to keep it up and going.

Main server is back online, backup is now closed

Power outtage is taking longer as expected, since the regular server will automatically come online when the power is on and I may not have shut the backup down by then know that playing on either server will contribute to your credits and are automatically synced.

Its confirmed to be a power outtage, regular server will be back online once the power is restored

There is currently a datacenter issue in our main datacenter, the backup server is online at 188.64.33.169:27015

Was a power outtage that since has been resolved, all running as usual again.

Downloads datacenter went down, I'm aware of it but the host is currently unreachable. If they don't fix this ill have to build a new download server which will take me a bit.

For those who didn't click on the announcement, we have a way to stay on the old hl2dm but talk to the new client. So everything is intact except the client received more bugs thanks to valve.

Bouncy is working on the prerelease version of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch but on the new version (once it works) things are looking pretty dire as far as custom stuff goes. I have no decided what the future will be yet but it seems like its something like this:
1. Server remains on prerelease and fully functional, but new players won't find us and we will die over time.
2. Server gets migrated to the new hl2dm once it works, every NPC fix is gone. Tempoarily the plugins / exclusive maps are gone to and its uncertain how many will come back.
3. I keep the old bouncy on pre-release a relic of its time and simultaniously a new one. Playerbase is split and I pay double.

Thats 3 scenarios in which bouncy survives in some form, I have not decided at all on the future yet, will take me some thinking and will also depend on what happens with the playerbase if its even worth it for me.

First signs of the update are very worrying based on the local client now using a 64-bit version. That would nuke most mods until we can port them (If we valve releases compatible source code to begin with). However at the time of writing I can not update the server, I do not have updated binaries from valve yet.

Rumos are they are merging it to HL2, no idea if it can be ported to that.

We're probably fine, there's no changes on steamdb.

Small heads up, depending on what valve does the 20th anniversary the server may be broken if an incompatible update lauches. Ill see the best course of action when/if that happens but it would potentially be an update big enough for the auto updates to fail if there are changes to the engine itself.

Server isn't gone but there is network maintenance today so it may go in and out.
IP is server.bouncyball.eu if you lost it

Server is gone?

New provider so far gives me lower pings, but they are still working things out bandwith wise. The lag shouldn't be to noticable but today may not be optimal.

Host is going to do maintenance on the network tomorrow between 16:00 and 19:00, you may have some lag spikes or bouncy may be down.

Was forced to move hosts again, back online with a new IP. If bouncy is missing for you manually add server.bouncyball.eu again.

I'm aware the server is down, new host is looking in to it. I have the old host on standby if this happens more often or if they can't fix it quick enough.

Without telling me whats broken about it I won't know what to look for.

hello! admins please fix the server. it's broken

add Alyx gun pls

That should have already been the case, I have renamed the afk kicker plugin in case there is still an old config that disables it.

Somehow need to find a solution for that when somebody is just online but not moving. Many times i got this situation, and others too, and together with players even, when only just 4 players or 3 or 5 in the game, and just 2 of them playing active, the others are just logged in the server and standing at the start or the spawning point. In that case, cant RTV, because the others are somewhere else, and we stucked on the current map for 5-10 minutes. Thats sooo annoying, i talked about this with many upsetted players. I think there should be a time limit, like maximum 3 minutes for every player, and if the player dont move, automatically disconnect the user.Maybe thats a normal way of it.What do you think about this?

Hope its back soon its my faverite servver

They have been having some datacenter issues, up to date status is here : https://status.hl2dm.org/ if its red I know about it.

odd the server is offline.

Still seeing people being on the server is a blessing. I remember playing this server when I was a kid. Heh, I had a lot of fun and I still have whenever I join.
