Hi
I look after the CoD servers for PCFormat magazine and thought I'd let you all know Ive now set up a Obs server. I got into it last weekend and loved it so thought I'd add one to the list of UK servers. Ive added some custom maps too. All maps download fast ( I get 2.2mb/s) so you wont be out of the action for long if a map appears that you dont already have.
Loving the mod, keep up the good work guys.
Hope to see you on there.
Server details IP = 85.236.101.58:29260

Cheers

EDIT:
Does Obs work ok with custom maps? Im hearing mixed reports, some say it does other peeps say it might and or can be difficlut to get it wokring.
Any help/info on this much appreiciated.

i don't know exactly but it think its an Xmodels limit.
if you try play a map that has to many it will crash, as obs itself already has a s--- load of them already.
just test them yourself.

Yeah, with the maps if they have all the needed core COD4 spawns etc and their xmodel limit isn't maxed, they should work. You won't have day/night and weather on the custom maps though as those features are custom made per map.
The only maps I know that work 100% are mp_burg and mp_iclaim. Perhaps some of the other server admins running Obscurity can post the custom maps they use.
Of the core maps, the only map that won't work is mp_citystreets (District).

Hi thanks for the info/email.
Here's the map rotation:
In addition to the usual CoD4 maps I have added:
the hidden - Not tested
old school - Not tested
Agroprom = Works
Pipyrat - Edit, doesnt work properly, Obs is visible (looks like VIP)
Apesgorod -Works
steamlab - Works, sorta.... has a high pitched squeal in a location on the map! Weird...
Matroska - Not Tested
Eerie - Works
Chernoval - Works
Scrapyard - Works
They all load up but havent been play tested. Am I correct in thinking that if they load up they will be ok?
All the above maps I have played on server that have 48 slots or more so they should have all the spawn points they need.
Just need to populate the server now to do a proper test. :)
Anyone want to join me tonight after 6pm?
EDIT:
Ive tested a few maps and will update the list above to show what works and what doesnt.

Oops I forgot to add it. I will try remember for tonight. Thanks for the info on the maps.
Usually if the map loads it should be fine.
