    What does it take?

    Hey there!

    I'll just cut to the chase, a few years back, i had a GunZ Private Server. Now, i've been out for a long while and i'm pretty curious what has changed and such!

    So, what does it take to start a server now? What are the absolute requirements? (Think of mods, but also security and such)

    Are there still so many GunZ PServers out there or is it limited to only a few? And why?
    What does it take to have a good server?

    I'm looking forward to your responses!
    Kind regards,
    Mambo.

    Gunz is simply dying, no server that was created later than 2010 has ever lasted and I doubt that any will, security would have to be a big part of your server as soo many people are destroying gunz via hacking and such.

    Thankyou, could you perhaps elaborate some more on the hacking stuff? Security is important.

    You would definitely need someone to fix all the database calls in the source to fix any sql injection possibilities. Then start doing all the patches in Wizkid's thread (it's stickied in the release section) then I'd go back through the Releases sub-section for any other fixes. (Make sure they don't interfere with any other fixes)

    Do this with a clean source probably would be the best, but you could try a repack.

    As for specs, you really don't need much if you're not going to expect many members.
