Hey whats the name of the server so I can join?
Also I've been playing around this last month with HAMMER trying to make some maps. I don't have anything worth wild yet, but if I do in the future could I send it to you Javaman and if you like it maybe throw it into rotation one night so I might get some feedback?

I'll be sure to add that one. What's the name of the custom PL map that has the vault at the end and the zig-zag downhill between cp1 and cp2?
I should have done this months ago instead of the day that BFBC2 comes out. :lol :lol
Sorry about the server reboot last night guys. It wouldn't let me change the mp_timelimit from the console so I had to change the server.cfg manually. I must have forgotten to uncheck the auto-reboot box on the host's configuration page. Javanub

I'm game for anything. Keep in mind though that custom maps tend to clear out servers. There's not much of a following yet with this server so it would be best to try something crazy out as people are already dwindling for the night.

Thanks for the feedback borsdy. Currently the server is running Mani Mod. It seems the primary configuration file doesn't get installed with the rest of ManiMod by gameservers.com for some reason. Most of the voting and admin functionality is there, but it's still missing some stuff like stat tracking and auto end of round map voting. That's a good idea about opening up dead chat. There's probably a simple switch in the cfg. which will allow that.

Hey Java! I haven't visited this thread in forever and saw you've created a server. That's incredible.
I need to get back into this game after all the talk of Steam coming to Mac.

Javaman said:Ah thank god. I can finally stop playing medic.
Hey! I pick up slack at times too!
Honestly, Medic's my best class. I just have a weakness for charge effects like the Buff Banner, damage over time like the Pyro, and support effects like what the Heavy provides. That, and unless I'm seeing my name appear in a white background constantly on my screen, I feel like I should switch class.

Pulled one of these yesterday. So satisfying. :lol
Good idea! Let's shoot for tomorrow though. It'll give us more time to get the word out and I'm totally beat down right now. I spent the day at the Fire Academy crawling through muck looking for headless victims and putting out fires. :lol I'm not going to be worth a shit tonight at all.

Javaman said:
Yeah, its kind of incredible that in 2 1/2 years I can pay half the price my 8800GTS was and get a smaller, cooler, quieter, more efficient card that wipes the floor with what the 8800 could do. Upgrading computers is fun
Even though I was forced to upgrade, my 8800 still kind-of works (kind of). I wonder if I'd be able to use it as a PhysX card now..Unfortunately I'm gonna be working tomorrow night so once again I'm not gonna be able to play with you guys

We had around 7 people on it earlier tonight at 6-9pm EST, but it rapidly declined around 8:30pm, when it was 1v1 Melee Only Battles. :lol
I probably won't be able to make it to the game tonight, as I won't be near a computer. Have fun though guys!
good a place as any:
Anyone have any tricks for speeding up map loading in TF2 and Source games in general? It's the one big thing I absolutely hate about Source. Shit takes forever. Playing Portal and doing those challenges is frustrating in large part just because every time I mess up I have to reload the map and it takes tens of seconds, which while not long for a one-time load, really adds up and drives me insane.
There are also all those times I load a map in TF2 only to have the map change and then have to load another map. That's fun, too!

Edit: Where's Panic, Java? Panic!!
Huh. I just had a crazy back-to-1999 thought -- would it be theoretically possible with some of these games to convert part of the folder structure (like the map/data files for TF2) into symbolic links to a ramdisk? If I upgraded to 6GB instead of 4GB I might be able to have 2GB or so of data for quick loading.Hazaro said:
Probably not worth the effort, but it's an entertaining thought.
