For those that are keen to get their own Procon Layer set up there are several options available. Until Ausgamers have the option to rent one you could get one from another supplier or create one yourself.
To create one yourself I would suggest renting a VPS from Mammoth VPS and for $10 a month you could have quite a few layers with out any issues at all. I have been running 2 layers with hardly any usage at all. Though I will install Apache, MySQL and set up a stats page once the BF4 stats plugin is converted. Once you have your vps follow the instructions from https//forum.myrcon.com/showthread.php?4209-HowTo-Run-a-PRoCon-Layer-(1-4-0-6)-with-Linux-mono&highlight=XpKiller Only thing you will need to install is mono and your set to go. If this is all to hard then you can pay $ from another supplier, there are some independent suppliers around at competitive prices as well and provide stats collection as well. |
Yep, found it didnt work with versions >2.10 of mono so i manually installed 2.10 myself.
the only real problem i had was getting my startup.sh to run under my user. The file which has this: #!/bin/bash cd /home/xpkiller/PRoCon_1.2.0.0 mono-service2 -l:./proconservice.lock PRoCon.Service.exe Comes up with mono-service2 command not found, i think i need to install the runtime and dev builds too. right now though im running it through a screen (not the best option but works) |
Adsa, in your initial link to forum.myrcon.com the actual link is missing the : in https:// but it's there in the text.
I was looking into this on the weekend but didn't consider hosting it myself. I'll definitely try this out when I get home. |
