Introduction This document describes how to install, configure and maintain dedicated servers for various popular multiplayer games, such as the Quake series, Half−Life/Counter−Strike and other first−person shooters. Linux makes a great operating system for game servers because of its stability and speed (not to mention it's Free). 1.1. Copyright and License This document is (c) 2001−2002 Anders Jensen−Urstad.

  • High-Performance Play: the Making of Machinima
    High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima Henry Lowood Stanford University <DRAFT. Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. Please contact author, [email protected], for permission.> Abstract: Machinima is the making of animated movies in real time through the use of computer game technology. The projects that launched machinima embedded gameplay in practices of performance, spectatorship, subversion, modification, and community. This article is concerned primarily with the earliest machinima projects. In this phase, DOOM and especially Quake movie makers created practices of game performance and high-performance technology that yielded a new medium for linear storytelling and artistic expression. My aim is not to answer the question, “are games art?”, but to suggest that game-based performance practices will influence work in artistic and narrative media. Biography: Henry Lowood is Curator for History of Science & Technology Collections at Stanford University and co-Principal Investigator for the How They Got Game Project in the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. A historian of science and technology, he teaches Stanford’s annual course on the history of computer game design. With the collaboration of the Internet Archive and the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences, he is currently working on a project to develop The Machinima Archive, a permanent repository to document the history of Machinima moviemaking. A body of research on the social and cultural impacts of interactive entertainment is gradually replacing the dismissal of computer games and videogames as mindless amusement for young boys. There are many good reasons for taking computer games1 seriously.

  • List of TCP and UDP Port Numbers from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of Internet socket port numbers used by protocols of the transport layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host connectivity. Originally, port numbers were used by the Network Control Program (NCP) in the ARPANET for which two ports were required for half- duplex transmission. Later, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) needed only one port for full- duplex, bidirectional traffic. The even-numbered ports were not used, and this resulted in some even numbers in the well-known port number /etc/services, a service name range being unassigned. The Stream Control Transmission Protocol database file on Unix-like operating (SCTP) and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) also systems.[1][2][3][4] use port numbers. They usually use port numbers that match the services of the corresponding TCP or UDP implementation, if they exist. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.[5] However, many unofficial uses of both well-known and registered port numbers occur in practice. Contents 1 Table legend 2 Well-known ports 3 Registered ports 4 Dynamic, private or ephemeral ports 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Table legend Official: Port is registered with IANA for the application.[5] Unofficial: Port is not registered with IANA for the application. Multiple use: Multiple applications are known to use this port. Well-known ports The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are the well-known ports or system ports.[6] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services.

    List of TCP and UDP port numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 08/31/2007 04:24 PM List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from TCP and UDP port numbers) TCP and UDP are transport protocols used for communication between computers. The IANA is responsible for assigning port numbers to specific uses. Contents 1 Ranges 2 Port lists 2.1 Ports 0 to 1023 2.2 Ports 1024 to 49151 2.3 Ports 49152 to 65535 2.4 Multi cast Adresses 3 References 4 External links Ranges The port numbers are divided into three ranges. The Well Known Ports are those in the range 0–1023. On Unix-like operating systems, opening a port in this range to receive incoming connections requires administrative privileges or possessing of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability. The Registered Ports are those in the range 1024–49151. The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those in the range 49152–65535. These ports are not used by any defined application. IANA does not enforce this; it is simply a set of recommended uses. Sometimes ports may be used for different applications or protocols than their official IANA designation. This misuse may, for example, be by a Trojan horse, or alternatively be by a commonly used program that didn't get an IANA registered port or port range. Port lists The tables below indicate a status with the following colors and tags: Official if the application and port combination is in the IANA list of port assignments (http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers) ; Unofficial if the application and port combination is not in the IANA list of port assignments; and Conflict if the port is being used commonly for two applications or protocols.

LeVine Submitted to the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management on May 8, 2003, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Masters of Science. Abstract This thesis probes the causal elements of product platform strategies and the effects of platform strategy on a firm. Platform strategies may be driven by internal or external forces, and the lifecycle of a firm and of a platform strategy evolve over time in response to both the needs of the firm and the changes in the external environment. This external environment may consist of a “platform ecology,” in which the platform strategies of firms affect one another.

Quake: another all time classic, although this DOS game looks like it was never really finished properly (which is true). Poorly designed weaponry. No gun-changing animation. Cartoonish characters. But it was an instant classic FPS anyway, with true 3D level design and polygonal characters, as well as TCP/IP network support. With the DarkPlaces quake engine you still can play Quake on a computer with a modern operating system! The DarkPlaces Quake engine is the best source port we've encountered so far. Other Quake source ports we've tested: ezQuake. So, what do you need to get Quake running with DarkPlaces on Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7? Installation of Quake. If you have an original Quake CD with a DOS version, install the game with DOSBox. Instructions on how to install a game from CD in DOSBox are here. The game files are in the ID1 folder of the Quake installation. If you have an original Quake CD with a Windows version, you don't have to install the game. The game files are in the ID1 folder on the CD. You don't have the original Quake game? Download Quake (including Mission Pack 1 and 2)! Installation of the DarkPlaces Quake engine. the latest stable/official release of the DarkPlaces Quake engine files: Windows 32 bits: DarkPlaces engine Windows OpenGL build 20140513 Windows 64 bits: DarkPlaces engine Windows 64 OpenGL build 20140513.
