(for those who are impatient just go here<a href='http://g-spot'>http://g-spot</a>)

Hello all! It is once again time to announce that we here at the<a href='http://g-spot'> G-Spot</a> have a site up and running.

Last year we tried to be an "all encompassing gaming site". But we found it was just too much to swallow. For one thing it had redundant features, like a forum (when we have this great forum right here on seek).

This year we are going for a (much) trimmer look. We are just trying to be your local Rolla Game Matchup service. We might be adding some more features later. But for right now it is just a gamescan and a realtime chat (to facilitate matchmaking).

We are scanning for A LOT more games now than we were last year, here is the list:

Alien Vs Preditor 2 server
America's Army
Descent3 Gamespy Protocol server
Descent3 server
Daikatana
Global Operations server
Gore server
Hexen II server
Half-Life server
Heretic II server
HexenWorld server
Jedi Knight 2 server
Kingpin server
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault server
Never Winter Night Server
Quake server
QuakeWorld server
Quake II server
Quake III: Arena server / Return to Castle Wolfenstein server /Star Trek: Elite Force server
Command and Conquer: Renegade server
Sin server
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division server
Serious Sam server /Serious Sam 2 Server
Soldier of Fortune server
Soldier of Fortune 2 server
Tribes server
Tribes 2 server
Unreal server /Unreal Tournament
V8 Supercar Challenge server
Gamespy Protocol server

If you have any questions or suggestions you can post back here, and I will get back with you as soon as possible. Also - You can catch me in the live chat on the website.

Thanks all!

Have fun!

Good implementation. The Gamescan on seek42 is far out of date. It will remain available though in case g-spot is not running.

Hey, young freshmen, are you bored with pr0n? Make it interactive! Check out FindTheGSpot.com.

pr0n? oh here we go with the pron bashing

What is your ip for the box running the webserver for g-spot?

(It didn't like something about my link in that last post. Mod's, you can delete my post below this)

For all you non-windows people out there (as I type this in Gentoo Linux) you can go to:

131.151.189.30

We might be willing to open a port up so off campus people can get to it - let me know if that would be desirable.

Ok, so after looking at my traffic, and how many people opted in (3 people) - I decided that it should be a mandatory opt-in service (much like seek).

This only makes sense because people who are playing are probably at some point going to run a server, even if it is just for a little while.

If you have any comments on this hit me with an email at dgaston@umr.edu

On a side note: The ammount of traffic generated by g-spot is VERY minimal. It only polls specific ports (one for each game - can be more if people are running multiple servers but that is on a per machine basis) - and it only does it once every 3 minutes. There is ZERO hit to your computer performance or anything like that.

Thanks,
Derek

a port on 8080 would be great for those of us on fidelity cable modems so we aan with all our dormy friends!

If you log in to umr's vpn server, you can access the machine directly at port 80.

The only problem with it is you can't connect to machines by their smb (computer) name, you have to know their IP address.

Yeah, VPN would work if the G-Spot was actually *up*.... (9/7/02 9:20PM)
