Server Upgraded

Doesn’t really have much of an effect yet, but the CPU in my server was upgraded about 30 minutes ago from a single core Celeron D 2.53GHz (256KB cache, 533MHz FSB) to a dual-core Pentium D 3GHz (4MB cache, 800MHz FSB). Now I just need to find something to do with all of that power! […]

I am currently testing a few minor change to the Missile Wars 2.3 map. This is the map that I host at BZExcess.com port 5154. These changes are: There is a Bouncy flag added to the Genocide pad. It has a timeout of 1 second. Players do not spawn on the base on their first […]

Experiments with C#

I’ve been playing around with the C# language for a while. It’s a really fun language, and it makes it easy to do a lot of powerful things (threading, database access, sockets, etc).

Attention all map authors. Need a host for your maps? Then check out my map hosting page for more information. I have hosted maps for several people in the past, but this is the first time I’ve put the offer out there in the open. Eventually I hope to have a powerful web interface for […]

BZExcess site is live!

Finally got around to setting up a website. I’ll probably get a better template up here once I get enough time. But for now, this is fine. BZExcess is currently hosting two maps for the 2.0.x version of the game. Port 5154 is running Louman’s Metropolis, and port 5167 is running a map called “Rabbit […]
