I thought subsilver was the default, and it’s not all over the place on my screen. Could it be resolution causing your problem?
What do you think about using this? I’ve redone our player locator using google maps, as it’s a bit more dynamic than the old jpegs. It not quite 100% accurate as I had to plant some people very roughly according to the old maps or what I know (eg Doc), and some people are probably omitted since it’s been a while from our last update. Any corrections and additions please post below, assuming we want to use it.
Below is the code you need to embed on a webpage.
View Larger Mapgives you chance to change your class if you want to
Sorry just realised you said that. You can actually change your class at any time without dieing, as long as you’re in a spawn area. You can do this on our server anytime you spawn, unless it’s in sudden death, but sometimes if you’ve been out of the spawn area and return to change class, you’ll actually respawn as the new class in a different area (eg the other side of the battlements in 2fort). It’s quite useful when you see a temporary need for a class (maybe you’re a soldier but the team needs a scout to quickly take intel back). You can change as many times as you want as well.
I can only guess it’s 2 min for first offence, and longer for repeat offences.
Oh and since I now know it’s you, welcome to our forums and glad you enjoyed our server 🙂
Yea it’s been good to see recently, some regulars are even making it as far as the forums 😀

Wet you forget some of us are complete wasters and are actually on during the day ;), get this for next to nothing and I’ll show you the ropes. imho it’s much more fun than COD4, although my 1v1 the other day with Paddy brought back some good memories from the Rogue Spear days 🙂
Back on topic, I was playing with the server config file this morning, and had set a 5 sec spawn timer which worked fine when tested, however tonight the server somehow fucked up and gave us all sorts of random times, from 20 secs to 5 secs. It actually felt like battlefield, rather than the instant madness we’ve had up until now, and I thought the games were better for it. I’m also starting to think that the default timer may not be so bad after all.
Anyway, I’ve checked the server files and nothing has been changed (that I can see) from what I tested this morning, so why this was happening tonight I don’t know. For me it’s a process of trial and error with these fucking server commands, so I’ve had a go again and hopefully brought it more into line with the current majority in this poll. I will of course keep trying, until the funny bastard who actually knows how to do it, decides I’ve had enough, and steps forward himself to do it.
Ahh yea so it does, I was looking at the monthly usage thinking it was yearly 🙂 Anyway, was the cod server lagging over christmas and new year, while the fh server was off?
Was just looking at the server statistics on clanforge, and has anyone noticed that the FH server is almost always using CPU despite being empty? Neither the TF2 nor the COD servers show this unless they’re being used (although the now inactive COD hardcore server shows cpu spikes over the last week and month, while empty). Since all the servers are run off the same machine, could this be contributing to the lag problem?
Yea Paddy said he didn’t like 2fort either, which surprised me because I’ve always loved it, but then it is a solider’s map so that’s maybe why. I always thought it was a crowd puller as well, but what other map were you thinking? The ones with setup phases are pretty annoying when there’s only a couple of you on the server (maybe well’s an exception), hyrdo doesn’t really work either unless you don’t bother capping, custom maps don’t work (unless you know of a really popular one), but granary might be ok?
//values (0,UPTOMAXPLAYERS) bm_MinimumPlayersToPickupFlagRequired 4 requires 4 ppl in server to allow people to hold onto flag
so that’s 2v2 to my understanding.
The fact is though that it wasn’t helping get the server going, so maybe just as well leaving it turned off.
