sLaughterhouse Now Running Q3A

yibble — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 08:23:42 +0000

The awesome S-Space of the sLaughterhouse is being felt throughout the world, as it’s returned to keep us warm until ETQW. It’s currently hosting Quake III: Arena (baseq3) and is open for abuse.

It’s a ten slot public server (no password required), with three reserved spaces for TeeGee if it gets a wee bit full.

Yup, after receiving a donation for a months running costs from X-Blade, the server is up for the foreseeable future. No stats are being stored as yet, after all, it’s in Warm-Up mode.

The IP and port are: 213.200.95.48:27971

Also included with the server is a ten slot TeamSpeak2 server. The hostname and port are: voice2.fps.net:9012

Passwords have been sent to the TeeGee Googlegroup.

Who’s in?

sLaughterhouse Slipping (in blood?)

Just to follow up on the post I made to the TeeGee mailing list. I’m letting the subscription lapse for the sLaughterhouse, temporarily. To my knowledge, it’s not see one game in the past two months. The service will most likely come back as an ET:QW server in a couple of months time.

First Duel on sLaughterhouse

I was hanging around last night after getting back from a friend’s house. Whilst waiting for ScanmaN to update his new Quake IV install, I stumbled unto Parrais! He’s now back in touch :D

ScanmaN finally patched up, and I was ready to rock…

We hooked up on TeamSpeak, and in we went. First level was Phrantic… First time for both of us on this level, and ScanmaN trounced me!

Then it was the Fragging Yard. This time a level I’m farely familiar with. It’s not good enough for ScanmaN’s survival instincts. Although he did learn that rockets can pass through teleporters as well… After he chased me through one, and felt a rocket pass back through it :)

And the last was on Retrophobopolis. I’ll upload the screenshot later (I don’t have it to hand). A very nostalgic level with some slight differences. Duelling against ScanmanN on this level got me thinking in a more ‘3d’ sense. Looking down from ledges and up into the alcoves.

Great game Scan’ners!

sLaughterhouse Maps

Below are the current maps that we have running on the sLaughterhouse server. At the moment they’re all bog standard Quake IV deathmatch maps. Some maybe too big, others too small. Feel free to comment here if you’d like to see a specific map removed, or indeed, a specific one stay.

Also, I’m keen to have more re-makes of old familiar maps on the server. So if you see any on the Quake IV sites, feel free to point me at the them :D The current remakes we have are:

Quake I’s Claustrophobopolis, is Quake IV’s Retrophobopolis
Quake II’s Edge, is Quake IV’s Over the Edge
Quake III’s The Longest Yard, is Quake IV’s The Longest Day
Quake III’s Camping Grounds, is Quake IV’s Campgrounds REDUX

sLaughterhouse Returns

yibble — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 09:44:19 +0000

The sLaughterhouse server, TeeGee’s long infamous battlegrounds has made a re-appearance as a Quake IV server, hosted by fps.net.

The sLaughterhouse has had many incarnations on the Internet. First it was the founding members’ LAN server, and private Internet server. Then InterphaZe’s server was also blessed with the name, and now, it’s back.

The name ’sLaughterhouse’ was originally inspired by the comic strip, ‘Finn‘ from the UK comic, 2000ad. The play on words that one letter can turn the meaning of Laughterhouse, into something far more sinister, seemed perfect for a Quake server.

The current sLaughterhouse can be found at 213.200.95.48:28003, and it’s passworded. I’ll post that password to TeeGee’s private Google Group.
