I was looking forward to this for a long time, but was so badly let down by the first version that I haven’t looked at it since. May as well try the latest version though if others are playing, and since you say it’s improved.
lol dutch I thought he was pretty shit too, for a cheater, so I reckon it’s a dodgy copy of the game he got, but still he’s a stupid bastard….sorry cunt.
Over the last two nights whenever I join the server for the first time and join a team it randomly assigns me a class like has been mentioned.
Yea that’s the random class thing I was meaning and hopefully it’s been solved. It’s an odd problem because there’s no actual option to set this up on purpose, that I’m aware of, so it can only be a side effect from something else and we just have to determine what that is.
You also weren’t the only one last night having problems connecting to steam, and actually I’ll run that past Gonzo this evening just incase it’s a server side problem rather than a general steam issue.
And whatever I did seemed to make it worse, tonight we had a team 2 men down and it wouldn’t allow the others to switch 😯
Gonzo suggested it could be hlstats and beetles both trying to run their own settings, so I turned off any server side autobalance to hopefully allow hlstats to take control of it. Also had others complain about the random class thing tonight, so we’ve turned off another option which may or may not be affecting it (again may be a conflict with hlstats and beetles).
Keep up the feedback on this sort of stuff, it’s the only way we’ll get it sorted in the end.
I found an option deep in the settings which might have been causing this for you Jonny and I’ve modified it slightly. Let me know if it keeps happening.
Might have been the numbers but the custom maps didn’t work out as well tonight, though still fun, they seemed too big. I think also some tweaking needs done to the vote system as we kept switching tonight just as people were joining a map, and when it changed they left.
Some confusion over Avanti when it came on too but I think everyone had it figured out in the end. Did discover tonight that if you enter the blue spawn area as red you start taking damage, like when you go out of bounds in battlefield games, and die if you don’t back out again.
Aye Gonzo’s been able to set maps up to download quickly from Rackage and it seems to be working ok, it’s just during those first couple of minutes that you seem to lose the odd person. Not too bad i suppose, and given time it’ll not affect things at all.
Oh definitely, and I’d love to make them a regular feature. It’s just a pain in the arse when a load of people have to download the same map because you always lose numbers. You get some who can’t be arsed downloading it, but we had a few disconnects tonight when a custom map loaded and the server looked deserted as I was the only opposition :(.
It might help if I make a post with links to all the maps for manual download, then at least a few more of us will be on the map immediately when it switches. I’ll do that tomorrow.
Had our best night on the server tonight with it full most of the evening, though sadly it emptied a bit while on hyrdo (fair enough – can’t believe it won a vote)), and while the games carried on until about half ten we were never more than 3 quarters full (and only then on avanti). We finally managed to get some custom maps on the go and they were a hit, with serveral people say they’re adding server to favourites, which was music to my ears I’ll tell you!
One thing I found interesting; tonight I started trying to fill her up around 5pm, which was the time I used to be on back in January, and it was much more successful than starting at 7, as has been the case more recently. Maybe just a one off, but if anyone else is around at that time (5 too early for me normally unless I’m off) it might be worth a try again. Having a server with even a few people on it around the time people get home from work might just be the one trick we’re missing atm.
Also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone of us who came on tonight, it was a massive help 🙂 I noticed one or two problems with the servers setup, but they were minor and are easily fixed, also I didn’t see anything wrong with the VOIP in game tonight, which was a bonus. Did anyone else notice anything though that we should take care off, and how did everyone find the map voting system as we have it atm (pretty much a copy of the crazy server settings)?
Oh and Jonny I still don’t know what that problem is you’re having with autobalance, I’ll look into it but it seems to be only affecting you which is odd. We can’t turn autobalance off because how could we keep things even without it?
Found another good one today from a demo I was watching, ctf_geothermal_b2.
We need to setup a custom map night sometime soon, the ones we had on tonight were a massive hit.
I’ve been asked a few times about the upgrades so here’s a quick rundown….
First of all right now there are only unlocks available for Pyro and Medic as they’re only being released for one class at a time, with Heavy next in line. The upgrades don’t really change the way the class plays just offer some alternatives that can help in certain circumstances. If you look on the main menu in game there’s an option called “Achievements” and in there you can filter the list to show either the Medic or Pyro packs. Once you achieve 10 of these (in any order) you’ll reach milestone 1 and unlock your first weapon, achieve 16 you reach milestone 2, then 22 and you’ve got milestone 3 allowing all three unlocks for the class.
Mouse and anyone else wanting an invite to the XDC group on steam just add me to steam friends oliver_closeov@hotmail.com.
Was looking at Dustbowl the other day and thinking it could be converted quite easily 🙂 I’ll get that cave map on the rotation and check it out, cheers.
hmm is anyone else had this happen, because it’s not happening to me?
I added this to the server.cfg since I couldn’t find any other autobalance settings:
// start cvars for balancing un-even teams
mp_autoteambalance 1
// 0 is off and 1 is on. if 1 then should be used in conjunction with
the following 3 commands
mp_autoteambalance_delay 30
// Time (in seconds) after the teams become unbalanced to attempt to
switch players
mp_autoteambalance_warning_delay 15
// Time (in seconds) after the teams become unbalanced to print a
balance warning
mp_teams_unbalance_limit 1
// Teams are unbalanced when one team has this many more players than
the other (0 disables)
// end cvars for balancing un-even teamsI’ve no idea why it would assign you to a class when you enter, this I’ve never seen anywhere, but let me know if it keeps happening as I’ve made a shit load of changes this afternoon, and I’ll ask around if it is.
