TOPIC: I would like to ask for some help

1. Move to Echelon2
The Echelon2 is more secure and more sophisticated.
clankrh.com/echelon2
Last time I had problems to set it up correctly...
Required skill/help: PHP


2. Setup OGP
It is possible to handle urt game server with a good access system.
The previous version was very poor:
mye.hu/ogp/
But in the new version it is possible already to manage server B3 as well.
clankrh.com/ogp/
With this seniors could even manage servers or restart B3.
Required skill/help: PHP


3. More stats
By this sample we could have more statistic graphs.
clankrh.com/b3/krh42funny/stats.htm
For example this is for the last 24 hours, but it would be nice to have this for the last week or month.
Required skill/help: PHP
Extra: insert it to a Joomla page...


4. Linux: Urt start
In the case the servers are not manually started by OGP, I could use a help with the automatic start of the servers/B3 (in screen) but with a configuration file.
(For the case if we use different servers). Also stop feature for VM restart. Could be reasonable with point 2/OGP.


5. Linux: Automatic backup
The title says for own-selves =)
Required skill/help: Linux, ESXi


6. Extend MCAI.
The MCAI mapcycle system is just perfect for the nextmap management, although new functions would be welcome, like: map vote for the next map, etc.
Required skill/help: Python


7. Extend map like
Extend map like votes with "changed my mind" maybe re-votes later. Or maybe combine this plugin with MCAI? (point 6. above).
Extend map like plugin with levels. On some servers it would be useful to restrict the votes to regulars only.
Required skill/help: Python


8. Mapping
I am a very noob in mapping, especially 3D modelling, (shader) scripting and design, but to release some maps as clan would be nice.
Any help appreciated.
(I already have some open projects and map ideas).
If you are a good designer and would like to start mapping I can help you with that.
Required skill/help: GTKRadiant, Gimp/PhotShop, Blender...


9. Optimize the VM configuration for better performance
This could help the better FPS and lag-free game play... Thank you for any suggestion.
Required skill/help: Linux, ESXi


10. Website management
Help in maintain / update the website(s).
Required skill/help: Joomla, PHP, CSS


11. Clan event management
Manage clan participation in competitions. Qualify the team, manage trainings, coordinate matches (with enemy captain, check demo uploads)...


12. TeamSpeak configuration and management
I am not much familiar with TeamSpeak so I could use some help in creating reasonable room system, levels, eventually virtual severs. And probably an auto-start script.
TS3 other: website (Joomla) plugin would be nice also to view the rooms and online players.
Or check the availabilty of Mumble: some admins prefer that (with the same conditions: rooms, level, server, www-plugin, etc). Last time I installed it I had some problems and players couldn't connect.


13. Apache log investigation
Back to point 1: the current Echelon has security leak and once it was abused.
I can provide the apache access log and need to know who attacked our service/website.
Reason: all I offer for the players and community is free, and the result of many money, hours of work and developments from helpers.
I find it very unfair and shamefully petty, when an offended, smart but socially retarded teen with some computer skill would like to ruin all this work.
Required skill/help: understand Apach2 logs


14. Releasing clan videos
We have plenty demos from various events as from privet games.
It would be nice to convert, edit and release them.


You can send me an email, if you would like to keep your offer confidential.
And nothing is mandatory. If you have the skill but don't have time, no problem: real life is first.
Details or sending data I prefer in email (like apache log, etc).

Thanks in advance:

Snail

I am far away from being a pro in any of the asked "skills" but I think it`s enough "experience available" to give you support and help in many things in the list.

You can contact me for the website (In my studies I use Adobe Dreamwaver, Joomla)
I have the whole Adobe Creative Cloud (Phothoshop etc.) so you can ask me for that too.
The clan event videos are also possible
And as you know I am working at that map, if you give me some time, I can fix everything and realease it for =KRH=
I had a ts3 server once, so I can help with that also, it isnt that difficult, you only need the time and patience.
For everything you can e-mail me or contact me if you need some help with a point
Good Luck!

Mby could start with point 1

And btw what is with xlrstatsV3 ?

This is clan only?

If not i can help working on maps. I know almost every feature in radiant well and i got photoshop too. I just got a script for blender, so now my modeller can make me some models.

I know web developing too and offer my help to those who works on the web.

PiPi: WOA, I didn't follow the development so your xlrstatsV3 is new for me, but looks nice though!

Quick: no the help is not "clan only", everyone can help whou would like to.

Thank you!

Well then I offer my help in maps and where I can.

I know how to setup echelon 2, but I don't use it since it's buggy. Not everything works (chatlogger etc.).

Thank you very much for your Donation!!!


BTW respect and R.I.P. Bleilust!

What distribution are you running? As far as i know is KVM the most performant virtual machine for linux. almost as fast as using bare metal (the actual machine directly).
But since you probably are using virtualization only for isolating certain processess, hence increasing security, you might as well use docker an get the mininum of overhead.
that comes also handy in regard of backing stuff up, since docker file system images are much much smaller.

if you are running multiple services, sharing the bandwith of the server, QoS could be used to prioritize certain services, for instance the game server.

do you know, what kind of security leak echelon was/is suffering? maybe using mod_security for apache could be used to filter such attack vectors out.

Snail,

I have some time this weekend to help you in some way if you want. Just contact me via PM.

Regards.

Got holiday now, so I'm ready to help whereever I can help.
PM or mail me. (will read mail)

Can contact me also if you need me

Hi again,

I have time to improve the server. Please, if you're interested contact me via PM. I really want to help.

Regards.

By the wayt: gtmetrix.com/reports/clankrh.com/BrQm2bQO I think 2,64MB is too much for a website nowadays. Also, I think you have to improve MySQL. A b3 bot make a lot of queries.

Ahh sorry again, I missed to reply all your kind offers, my bad

Happa I have ESXi as host and ubuntu LTS as guest systems. Currently I just run 2 servers:
Ubuntu1: LAMP
Ubuntu2: urt

I don't think I would change this without serious reason - the hardware is at a hosting company, not at me at home as before LOL
I don't think the hardware could be a problem (i5 3rd gen, 32GB RAM, Ubuntu1 on SSD, Ubuntu2 on HDD), but the system could use some optimalisation.

And here is the thing Purple pointed on: yes the Joomla CMS seems outdated as the Kunena forum engine.
Honestly in the last time when I just had a little time, I tried to finish some other things: like mapping, or being online on the servers. And so the developments stopped.
And this is why I asked for help. So if you are familiar with these host-guest-ubuntu system, I would be very happy if you could help us. Us: because the servers are not for me but for all the players who like to play with us.

Quick and Six, thank you very much for your offers!
Could you please let me know the kind of support you could help us? Because I have mapping questions and we have some B3 plugins (python), which could be edited.

Thanks a lot in advance!
