HOWTO run an UCC:LAN
First, set a date. You will need at least two days to get things sorted out, but for optimum promotion you should have a date well in advance.
Well before the date
Get a night pass by e-mailing, phoning, or lassoing the Guild president ([mailto:[email protected]]). Make sure you know where it is!
- Make sure the Coke and Snack machine are stocked.
Send an email announcing the LAN and all the pertinent details to the UCC list ([mailto:[email protected]]) and the Announce list ([mailto:[email protected]]).
Before people arrive
- Phone security on 3020 to let them know you have a night pass and will be in the building overnight.
- Make sure you've got the night pass pinned to the door.
- Clean up in the loft - sweep, empty bins, tip water over resident roleplayers.
- Arrange the tables and chairs (it gets really hot under the lights, so don't put people sitting there)
- Sort out power: use extension cords to pull from as many different circuits as possible (i.e. the wall in the loft, the corridor wall under the fire extinguisher outside UWAnime, drop a cord down into UCC) and make sure there aren't too many power boards connected to each other.
- Bring the CAT5 box upstairs.
- Get the switches out of the machine room and connect them up - use Gi0/1 on lorenzo as the uplink (makes it much easier to see errors on the link, and to fix it if spanning-tree screws up like it did last time).
- Find a Wheel member and get them to set up the network:
- The loft is VLAN 5.
- Put any clubroom Windows machines on VLAN 5 - on the Ciscos, don't do 'wri mem' and then you can just reboot them when you're done.
Don't put any of the Mac or Linux machines on VLAN 5. NFS will break.
- Check the firewall - it should look something like this, with line 2 commented and line 4 uncommented. If it's the other way round, change it.
{{{# And Loft #$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i eth0.5 -d 130.95.13.0/24 -j UNTRUSTED # Use this instead for LANs $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i eth0.5 -d 130.95.13.0/24 -j ACCEPT }}}
- Start the TF2 and ET servers if not already running. TF2 is run as the gameserver user on martello, use the run-server.ucc.sh to start it. ET is started by running /space/games/enemy-territory/start-etded-etpub on mussel.
Commonly played games
It's a good idea to mention these in the email, so hopefully people can install and/or patch up before the night.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (see the page at [http://mussel.ucc.asn.au/etmaps] for install and patch guide.)
- Warcraft 3 (version 1.21b)
- Team Fortress 2
- Counterstrike: Source
Less common games that may also be played:
- Battlefield: 1942
- Supreme Commander
C&C 3
- UT2004
During the night
- Consider a pizza order.
Make sure the bottom doors stay locked (especially if there's a Leisure, etc. event on)
- If people have odd DHCP problems:
Make sure we're not running out of leases (how? should be added to ["Network/Services#DHCP"])
- Make sure there are no extra DHCP servers on the network. You can run the following command as root Madako to scan for rogue DHCP servers.
/root/dhcp_probe-1.0.4/src/dhcp_probe -fc /root/dhcp_probe-1.0.4/extras/dhcp_probe.cf eth0.5
The next morning
- Even though you're tired and/or wired, the more packing up you can do the better.
- Put the network back to normal - including changing the firewall back.
- If you're going to go to sleep and there's no-one else around, lock the top doors. Stuff has been stolen before.
