All these servers can be used for PCWs or League Matches by every NSL listed clan.

The current servers below are sponsored by NS2-Fr.com & Thirsty Onos Community. UWE are also sponsoring 4 servers for the season. Password on these servers is "ns2nsl". Also, with Kaneh's permission, matches can be played on the Reddit pug/gather servers. Please, contact him for any problem with Multiplay or/and Pug servers.

US Pug Servers






EDIT: Referees get the NSL blue badge on NSL Modded servers & admins the red one. Both get NSL commands even on private servers.

Matches cannot be played on gather servers, and gathers get priority on their dedicated server. If a team needs a server to fight for a match or something, they can get one of the matches servers for them.

Feel free to use the gorgeBusters server for matches/gathers it is based in london, any issues or problems just message me on steam thanks,

See below for info

Server will be down for a few hours as it's being upgraded and moved to a SSD

@Maxamus, I added your server on the list above, feel free to add it on the website here: http://www.ensl.org/servers to see it on the gather list. Anyhow, thanks for your contribution & let us know when it will be setup & ready again.

Thanks, server is good to go, it has a new ip

Alrighty, with b267 coming, there are some changes we need to discuss. There are two changes, one possibly postponed to b268.
1. Custom consistency check, do we need it anymore or can we use the default one.
2. (Possibly b268) Tickrate, interp, mr. What are we going for? How much it affects the performance? What can we do about dieing behind corners?

These are NSL related, but I asked on the UWE forums, to get some CDT clarification on the issues: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/135239/regarding-b267-server-changes-consistency-check-etc, before we can move on solving these.


EDIT: NEVERMIND, we still have our consistency config and Dragon is gonna put the values in NSL mod. When you see lags and stuff on onFire servers after the update, please, let me know and I'll take it to dragon for necessary changes. The values are set quite high but should be ok.

The US pug servers

- Just a small update, thanks to Spastic Colon team for providing a server for NSL use:



Added on the servers list above.

- Updated once again.

the UWE hosted server in Los Angeles has moved:



I have moved one of the pug servers to Toronto and added an 'official' NSL match server there as well (East Coast, euros have ~30 better ping on average)

Conclusion
Some servers need to upgrade their AdminList (you can query any ensl ref/admin to have it)
Only one server need to be upgraded to the last version.
The Ping column is here for test purpose, i've a fiber internet connection located in the north-east of France (isp: Orange).

I can also conclude that the best NA serv for EU are :
-NA East #1 & #2
-pugs #3

(by AdminList, I mean this :

"admins_group": { "type": "disallowed", "commands": [ ], "badge": "ensl_red" },
"ref_group": { "type": "allowed", "commands": [ "sv_ban", "sv_unban", "sv_kick", "sv_say", "sv_changemap", "sv_reset" ], "badge": "ensl_blue" },
"staff_group": { "type": "allowed", "commands": [ "sv_kick", "sv_say" ] }

Ask any refs or admins to get complete list.)

Edit1:
r/ns2 pugs #3 :: Compod :: Toronto seems to have some bugs currently, NSL Mod can't reach ensl.org database so the mod is not working at all atm.

Thanks Kaneh for upgrading the Multiplay server and setting up new server. good job

updated everything. Put up another east server too cause I can.

TAW has put up a NSL server for use. Please use these instead of our other scrims. (Unless a TAW person warrants the usage per occurrence.)

NAME:
TAW|Scrim 4 NSL [LU] - The Art of Warfare - TAW.net

LINK TO CONNECT:
steam://connect/datafire.ddns.net:27029/ns2nsl

PRETTY LINK:
datafire.ddns.net:27029

PASSWORD:
ns2nsl

SLOTS:
18 of which 4 are reserved. (So 14 slot)
TAW Admins and NSL refs can and will use reserved slots first.
The goal here is to simply reduce slot usage above 12 players & make sure someone with kick can always connect.

NSL REFS:
Userlist supplied bij Vindaloo is running without change. If you have no SV access, ask around in NSL.
On 'best effort basis' NSL refs also have the same rights in shine, as I am using that to run reserved slots.

PERFORMANCE:
Aim is always to keep server around a score of 60 with a minimum score during high load of 40.
If you think you experience performance issues due to the server please type 'perfmon' in console, twice. It will log a indication of how the server is doing, both clientside and serverside will log.

MAINTENANCE:
TAW servers are usually checked & maintained at CEST/CET 19.00-20.00 on Wednesday and Sunday.
CET in the winter and CEST in the summer
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/cet

Uptime during maintenance is not guaranteed. Due to circumstance, sometimes maintenance is earlier.

Patching will be done as soon as admins have time to do so. This is regardless of servers being used! (as none can use a outdated ns2 versions server anyway.)

The server reboots on crash & at 09.00.
If the server has crashed or did a bad reboot, the map will be on ns2_eclipse! (picked because none ever play the map, so a good indication.)

For the NSL/TAW folk, when server is in maintenance, the admins are always on TeamSpeak.

WORKSHOP BACKUP:
Is configured but enabled as backup. (aka only when steam doesn't work.)
The intended use on the TAW servers is 'able to connect when you lack a certain mod (version), if you are playing'. Use of the pause function if someone drops, is assumed.
Do not connect to a game you are not playing if steam is down as it WILL eat up the bandwidth of the server in question, resulting in a few seconds of redplug.

OTHER SERVER STUFF:
Anything not related to performance or downtime, please contact your closest nsl official. (bans, additional features, plugins like pregame, etc.)
If approved they know how to contact us.

Voting is enabled, but be careful not to abuse voting.

TAW servers are still subject to our code of conduct. Banning trolls is advised and will probably happen.

Contacting me on NSL forums is pointless. I check it to few.
