Thanks for putting up the server. Just finished some intense gravelpit games.

Oh, and MARIOKART.bsp did fail to download in-game. Had to grab it elsewhere.

Are you blocking .edu domains? (Peer Guardian or a modified hosts file for example?)
Also - server updated!!
Crit rockets reduced.
:D!

I actually downloaded the rest of the maps from what I presume is your school hosting space through Firefox earlier, so I don't think that's the issue.

It's a pretty nice server, but I lagged a lot when I played on there yesterday. I'll try it again sometime and hope that was just like an isolated incident (since I think it crashed after it changed maps).

Yeah. It was stuck on loading and I kept waiting and waiting, so I pulled up my friends list and saw the server had changed over to hydro. So I canceled the Mario Kart loading and rejoined the server.

So what are the odds for the server moving to the east cost? Ping was jumping between 200 and 280 yesterday for me and 130 is already pushing it. :(
We europeans need some love!

You europeans got your love when the server was east coast - I'm west coast

Actually, odds are good now
Got a call form my ISP - they admitted to repairs being needed, said they would be done THIS MONTH, and would call me to verify they fixed the issue.
Also gfetting 2 months' credit of shitty service.

trh

Nifty AND saffron-colored!
i usually get about 200 ping on west coast servers and 120-140 on east, but on your server i'm at 240 :(

TheOneGuy - check your PM

you should have a reserved slot

tell me the server command and I can add it to the config file (too lazy too look it up myself, as I don't care too much)

Yo Sexconker...can I get a reserved slot as well?

I played at the server probably twice, but now it is telling me that I cant join because of reserved slots.

That's crazy that it's not the default setup. I always though Icy intentionally altereded/broke that setting cause the only servers I've ever played where this was enabled were the Gaf servers. WTF was Valve thinking? Why would anyone not want that as default settings.

A quick google search told me that there isn't a default config at all. THAT is crazy!

So yeah the command seems to be "mp_forcecamera" but no clue what value does what. Found everything from 1-3 in server configs.

Capndrake was kicking some ass as a scout on Badlands. Do you lead them with your ping? I was getting po'ed cause I was lagging so bad I kept missing people from 5 feet away with my flamethrower and my ping is a lot better than yours.

The 200+ ping actually isn't bothering me at all, I don't lag and so far nobody has said I'm lagging (As it appears to them) either. Runs just as if it's 10-ish ping.

I've been having some pretty bad lag problems lately, too. Running into invisible walls, etc. I dunno why. It was great until about... Friday-night-ish. Everything just started going haywire.

I blame Brawl.

But seriously, it was great for me after friday.
Never got a ping over 100.

And for me (and my ISP) that's an accomplishment,

haven't noticed any lag issues here recently outside the usual (not too serious) ones i get due to my ~200ms ping...

the tf2 update a while back w/ping compensation helped a lot. before it was released my k:d on the gaf server (back then was icy's i think, ~300ms) was around 0.1 :lol

Played last night and it was pretty good. I was back to my original 90-95 ping when the server first went up, which feels more "normal". i.e., I wasn't running into invisible walls anymore.

Unfortunately, cell was getting 200+ ping. ):

Of course, I haven't played a whole lot lately. (lolz Brawl)

lolz Brawl.

I spend most of my time sitting online in brawl, failing to connect to anyone, and MAYBE playing one very laggy game. The rest of my Brawl time feels like a chore with SSE.

I'll try to get on the (TF2) server to play this weekend.

More map suggestions:

Royal: CTF map with a poker theme, two large fortresses made out of cards with poker chips, dice and more cards strewn around between.

Cave: Escort map inside a mine - Yup, somebody actually managed to make a minecart escort map before Valve released Goldrush.

Station: Rather standard straight CP map (5 CPs), but it's pretty fun.

Wacky Races: A racing map where the objective is to drive around the course before the other team can do so. You can slow down the enemy's truck by shooting the front, and speed up yours by shooting the steering wheel in the front. The spawns are inside the trucks, so everybody always respawns around where the action takes place (They can't be stickied, if you're wondering, the whole truck is "bouncy" so sticky bombs will bounce off). The trucks will also stop at two places while you have to do something - First you need to lower a bridge, then you need to bust open a wall. Once a lap has been finished, enemy intel appears in front of the finish line, you only need to take it over the line to cap it. 3 laps to win, of course. The only bad thing is that the map isn't very special graphics-wise, but that hardly matters.

Wacky Races sounds like what Mario_Kart should have been.
Somebody, please, introduce the people who made both maps.

Them are some ****ed up stats he has. He joins TF2 less than 2 weeks ago, and he's cheating out of the gates. Nice.

I haven't really noticed any problems, but if douche's like him start popping up regularly, I'll have to go looking for a new game to play:(

I've seen about 5 hackers since I started playing (Early December), so it's really not common at all. There's only two hacks around, one that increases speed and one that makes you auto-aim at heads as Sniper, plus puts "statistics" over everybody which move along with them, so you basically know where everybody is, what health they have, etc.

Capndrake also has a hack that tells him where people are. He calls it the "radar".

Okay this is something I've always wondered and I need an answer soon or I might implode or something equally overdramatic.

What the hell is with the semicolons?

My ping just went to 230-240 (For the first time, it's normally 200-ish) and I got the most extreme lag I've ever seen. So yeah, I now also support a move to central/eastern :(

Well you're supposed to let them have it!

I get yelled at a lot for camping on the last point of Dustbowl when I would chase people down into their spawn. I never STAY there, but if you're going to fucking run away, you'd better expect me to give chase, bitches.

Speaking of retards, some jackass complained that I switched from pyro to demoman to destroy his sentry the other day. He said something like "that's not gaming".

Why are people like this allowed to have Steam accounts, or computers?

That's kind of why I've settled onto a couple servers. It seems like when there's a well established community that makes up the majority of the players, the random douches are kept to a minimum.

Yeah but you still get the random people joining the server (like the GAF server, for instance) and acting all high and mighty. Of course, they leave when they realize the regulars don't give a shit about their senseless whining, but yeah.
