[TF2] Thread 10! Server back up

[_Quietus_]

@Arcadia: What shader is that? I've seen it a few times before and i've been trying to track it down, but I don't know what it's called.

launch options
-dexlevel80 or 81
Depending on what fps problem you have, it will make your FPS better
But you also suffer huge graphic negatives
Including making water surfaces opaque and making ubercharges un-shiny

[Henry Spencer]

Seems to be about 1.33 ref.

[Flyingphish]

Two words for heavies on all crit servers
Holiday.
Punch.

It works on ubered targets!

It also turns the effect shading into a box that can be a bit disorienting.

How much a name tag cost in this days?
I want to name my Stormy Bonk Boy "The Drizle".

I happen to have a spare one you could get for a ref.

[TMBGFan]

The Holiday Punch would be like 100% better if you could make people laugh while being Kritzed.

Then you could go on rampages of laughter.

Also, with the re-addition of tools to crates, I hope they release some crates with tags in them. I remember back in the summer when tags were around 1 reclaimed each and if you asked for a ref for one you were laughed at and mocked.

You can totally do this (did it a few times last night even). End of round crits and intel caps also work. You still do 0 dmg in all these cases.

So new server theoretically accessable now.
Passwordguessery fruitless so far.

[Mr.Tie]

snips

[Kaitostrike]

The server is aaaalllmoooost ready. Only issue at the moment is getting Replay fully functional.

EDIT: Server is up and ready. Password is "papnak".

Double edit: Forgot the IP. Whoops. skaia.game.nfoservers.com:27015

[zeratuljo1291]

so anyways, with the new server comes a NEW CUSTOM MAP LIST

here is what we had last time:

cp_follower
cp_snakewater
ctf_biomass_rc1
koth_loader_v2
koth_moonshine_rc
pl_cashworks_rc2
pl_minepit
pl_waste_b3
plr_panic_b2

if you want to add a map to the pool, let the discussion begin!

[youdont12know]

Issue with the server: Password is not zuipperpips. A long line of thinking went into why zuipperpips is the best possible password.

EDIT: Also are foundry and Steel custom? If so I'd like to add them, altough Steel is quite easy to get lost in.

[forkinyoureye]

Remove plr_panic. I don't think anyone likes that.

Dunno about map adds though.

[WordsHere]

I'm pretty sure I don't see plr_whalerace on there. That's... probably for the best. Honestly the only one on that list I've played is minepit.

[Mr.Tie]

I've always liked koth_lowas, not sure it's a possibility, or something people want as well.

[Shroomsy]

Remove plr_panic. I don't think anyone likes that.

Dunno about map adds though.

Speak for yourself, kiddo. There's always a dearth of good pl maps, and there's always a dearth of good plr maps. Heck, I still mourn the death of pl_waste on this server. It's a little early for map eliminations anyway, give it a few weeks to see if any maps consistently empty the server before we start cutting maps from the rotation.

As for map suggestions, I highly recommend ctf_turbine_pro. It's a big improvement over stock, the only major difference is another side route to the intel to keep sentries from dominating that long stretch of hallway just outside mid. The route also lets you get to the medium health kit on the raised platform without needing to double jump/teleport up there.

The latest version is here if any of you want to try it out for yourselves.

[forkinyoureye]

yesss turbine pro

why didn't I think of that myself

Anyway, if you like plr_panic, then say so. I just suggested removing it because from what I remember, it's more or less universally hated for the third round.

Bolded are AWW HELL FUCKING YES and crossed out are AWW HELL FUCKING NO

Unmarked are either no opinion or never played

You should also add Turbine Pro. It's cool.

[MESIAS_ROCKET]

I think the custom map selection is ok.

[Warriorccc0]

No, they are official.

[youdont12know]

So remember yesterday? It was fun, although I didn't get drops, which is okay, because playing TF2 for the drops is silly.
Also remember earlier yesterday, when I posted about my flamenco drop?
I went onto the scratch for about a minute to see if I'd remembered the pass, logged of and get a notification that I had an item drop.
It's a counterfeit billycock.

So now valve apperantly keeps giving me hats.

Dude, I can't connect to the server with the IP, simply because it demands a password
And I can't enter the passwrod in the god damned console
I had to join your game on my friends list!

Imagine my pain!

You should be able to add it to your favorites list, and then go from there. (I was also able to connect directly with the console, without using a password. Weird.)

I am trying to set up the UMC Voting plugin (the complex one Sepulch had). I have already set up Deadchat, and I hope to have everything functional tonight. At that point, we can start working on custom maps.

[Azruelli]

(I was also able to connect directly with the console, without using a password. Weird.)

I just tried it, and got booted. So whatever happened it's been fixed.

I want you to know that I was laughing at you for sitting friendless and alone in an empty server.
