Server looks to be much more stable now, running just Meta mod and source mod. I added the rtv and mapvote mods, but still need to test them. Round limits are back to 2 and alltalk is set on as default. I think I've found where most of the trip ups were happening... I use FireFTP to upload the mods or cfg changes but apparently it doesn't update the folder for changes unless you manually click the refresh button. I figured reconnecting would update but I guess not. Also I was trying to use the i86 version of the mod instead of the linux. <-Noob mistake. :lol

Any volunteers for mods? I could use about 2 or 3 more.

Hey blizzard, good news, slap is working again!

Just make sure Event Harvest shows up more often.

Glad to see everything's working better. I was hoping to play a bit on the server last night. By the time it seemed like everything was working and people were playing I didn't have time to join in.

 

[Boonoo]

I idled all night and didn't get a single item. D:

Edit! Wait! scratch that, I got 5 items. I just had to die a couple times to get them.

Aren't you pretty close to being able to refine a hat? I remember someone saying they only need a couple more items.

Yeah, 8 more scrap and i can make another. Hopefully I'll get something nice this time!

 

[Jangaroo]

I should start idling or something. I deleted all of my items before they implemented the crafting feature so I'm FAR away from making a hat.

The trick to idling is to do it in spectator mode--otherwise you ruin your time played stats!
I miss the idler program D:

Does anyone know of a good windows based text editor for linux files? I'm afraid to edit this file with notepad. It'll probably mess up some CRs or formatting.

I use Notepad++ for all my text-editing needs! I'm pretty sure you can set it to do Unix line feeds instead of Windows, if you need to.

Lol I cleared space like two days before they updated.

I crafted my Huntsmans by mistake and now I haven't been able to get another one for a week. I swear the same items drop over and over.

I have like 2 spare Huntsman. If the trading system ever gets implemented in the near future I'd be glad to hand them to you.

I must have accidentally crafted my natascha at one point, and it took FOREVER to get another one.

Sorry I missed the games yesterday. I might pop on for a bit tonight if anyone is around.

we are helping

Was screwing around on the server earlier, good stuff, I'm sick of the default maps though. haha I was Jason if you're wondering.

Team sniper was awesome.. until the final minute and half when we were run over. :lol

Nice headshotting lots of you tonight. We'll do it again soon, I'm sure.

I love this game.

Well, that explains why you were destroying anyone in your path. JERK. ]:

anyone helping?

Fallout was helping a lot tonight

The new server reminds me of the LoveMeSexy days. Good times. Java when you get everything figure out you should consider installing a points/ranking system. The OCD part of me loves that stuff, and I think it would go a long way towards getting a steady stream of people on the server.

 

[Jangaroo]

I don't know why I was doing so badly tonight. It was nice sniping you though Java

Nooooo!

There's nothing more degrading than a ranking system. ;_;

Degrading how? I just think it's a simple way to add a little incentive to keep playing, like the perk system in CoD. There's nothing wrong with that is there?

 

[Blizzard]

It was fun playing tonight, even though I was alternatively decent and bad. :lol I got 7-8 heads at one point with a demoman, and at another point I exploded a jumping scout (Twig?) in midair. They were like "When did you learn to aim?" :lol

Actually, having a ranking system will be the death of me. I'm going to start obsessing over my k/d and I won't be happy if I'm not doing 2:1.

I also noticed it seemed like you were playing particularly well tonight.

I only briefly played scout. You killed me as some other class, but yeah that was me.

 

[Inkwell]

That was pretty fun last night. I was playing horribly at first. Things turned around a bit later on, but that was due to some great medics. That and I was playing heavy.

It's nice to play on a server where there's decent teamwork and communication going on. Next time I'll try to use my mic.

You son of a #$%#%$ haaha. I'm just glad I was able to get a couple of backstabs to take some of the sting away. Regarding the ranks, I originally had them tracked on the server when mani mod was running. Mani when installed by the gameserver button never worked right though since it conflicted with source mod. When I tried to install it myself it was buggy in other ways. I think the problem was the same as I was originally having when I installed sourcemod manually, being caused by my goober self installing the i86 version instead of linux. I'll give it a shot some time down the road with the correct one, but some of the bugs will remain since the mod isn't being updated anymore. I like how much more stable the source mod one is even if it is missing a bunch of features that mani has. I need to figure out a way to improve the end of map vote. Right now there's no cancel vote button. You can let it time out, but in the mean time you can't select weapons with the number keys. I'm not sure why mod makers didn't use the F# keys. Oreo, you can still see the ranks on the server tracker website. I linked to it a couple of pages ago when I first made the server. I'll dig up the link in a bit.

Edit:http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/68.232.178.184:27015/

I'm hoping that ip is still correct. I've reinstalled the server a couple of times.

Back on TF2 after a break!

Hey, I've been playing for the last two days after I took a break since before the demoman/soldier update, and I've been trying to unlock their achievements, but so far I've only reached their first milestones. I'm finding their achievements harder than the other classes were!

Maybe it's just me playing bad after the break, but I've been having a hard time on some of them.

How can I get the shield bash achievement? The one involving you killing someone with a shield charge. Does the charge do some amount of damage or it's just the damage boost your weapon receives while charging?

The shield does damage and knockback.

 

[Vlad]

The shield does damage and knockback.

Not only that, but I believe it only does damage near the end of the charge, and even then it isn't all that much, so you need to make sure to hit someone who's already near death.

The video recommends 10-12 HPs left. You'll probably have to be lucky, and charge into a group of people you've been firing upon, and hope one of them in low on health.

Good enough for me I don't care about k:d ratio (Being a medic half the time kinda ruins it anyway) and all that as much as ranks and whatnot so this is fine if installing something on the server is too much trouble.

That game end mod which makes everyone heavies with KGB.

Can't think of much else.

 

[Boonoo]

Fuck me and fuck crafting!

For my first hat craft I was blessed with this.

And my second after many hours of hard work idling I received this gem.

I'm tempted to craft them together to try for something new, but I'd probably get this.

 

[EvilMario]

My one, and only crafted hat was the Respectless Rubber Glove. It was perfect. :lol

 

[Twig]

My first crafted hat was also hatless scout.

But I already have a bunch of hats I like so I no longer care. I'll just wait until they change the drop system, as they said they would (alongside trading, I think?), to reward you for playing instead of idling.

 

[Sciz]

Baaaaah. Randomly picked up the trophy belt. I already have the panama. And sniper is my least played class.

On the plus side I've gotten some quality time in with the Equalizer and it's absolutely amazing. <3

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Argh...I'll try to get a game in tomorrow night or this weekend...

Goddamn you Sniper Jangaroo! Gonna backstab you one of these days!!!!!
Boonoo, those hatless hats are karma for being scout all the time >

 

[Tubobutts]

My first crafted hat was a spy hat which happened to be the exact same one as my only other hat. I then crafted those together and got the medic's mirror hat. Spy and medic are my two least played classes.

 

[SyNapSe]

soo... crafting sucks for making hats? I notice you can just try to make a random hat or a class hat. Does class hat work better?

I'd never bothered crafting before and my items were full so I was just dropping stuff when it popped up for a long time. Is there a time estimate imbetween hat drops? It must be astronomical! I reset my stats right as this all started and I've never received anything but the halo for not cheating.

edit: to be fair, I got the haloween hat also but both were specials

To make a class specific hat you need a fourth piece of refined metal and a class token which works out to 112 item compared to the 81 you need for a random one. Hat drops are completely random and there is no real time estimate for the drop. I went months without getting one, then got two in a week. Haven't received any since then which was about 6 months ago.
