• The cost of hosting a TTT server
    1 replies, posted
Hello. I was wondering how much would it cost to: 1) buy good server hostage for an unspecified length of time 2) pay for someone to configure and setup the server for play (!) I've always loved the idea of TTT and playing TTT, but my biggest problem has been not only the lack of servers, but also the wildly varying server configs which are often a complete mess. So therefor I was wondering how much would it cost to create and host a server that tries to aim for a pretty generalized but also stable TTT-server & experience that is somewhat all-inclusive for most player preferences. When it comes down server configs, for example my policy on player-models would be to only include models from HL2, i.e. citizens, story characters, corpses, combine troops. No buying of T rounds (or a limited amount per round), not even permanent weapons to spawn with, because I believe one of the "challenges" of TTT is to scour for weapons in the beginning, and work with what the map has to offer. Those were just examples, and I'm not gonna list everything that I would want to have in a server, because I don't wanna be an "ideas guy" although I believe I know what it takes for a balanced and a good TTT server/experience, plus I might even be willing to put money into something like that. Basically, I'm dreaming and entertaining the idea of creating a "perfect" TTT server, and seeing if people are interested or just find me a naive fool. Would it be a pointless endeavor and a waste of money? I've come across legit 5 servers tops in over 500 hours of play that I truly liked and all of them gone.
you don't need to pay anyone to configure anything. if you go through one of those gmod server hosting sites, they should have addon installer things and TTT is probably on there. you should be able to install what you want and just startup the server. it's probably as simple as possible nowadays.
