Kinda makes you appreciate Valve's sense of level design. Most of the biggest maps maps in TF2 (Dustbowl, Badwater, Goldrush) are actually quite compact with the route doubling back on itself resulting in a map with a relatively small area. Compared to Cashworks which is way more sprawling in design. Although with that said so is a map like Frontier which doesn't have performance issues at all.
Hazaro said:
You're right that middle part does more or less, but there's still that whole spawn area to maneuver around. It's definitely not to the degree of something like Badwater or Dustbowl IMO. I think you're right though that the vertical aspect of the map (being on top of a mountain) is effecting performance.

TF2 in slow motion
Using a high framerate with the demo recorder, jitters a little, but shows off some of the little details you usually miss.

This confirms it! Java is a dirty idler!
You look different than that other pic you posted when your previous kid was born.

Silly question, but does anyone know how to get the Number One Assistant sniper achievement? I just dominated two players (I think) and got like 6-8 jarate assists in one LIFE, let alone one round, and I still didn't get the achievement.
*edit* Finally got it the next round, and it might have only been 4 assists that round. I googled and it looks like it may be bugged in some fashion, but at least I got it.

Hmm, I'm thinking of resetting all my achievements and starting them again just for some fun (besides some medic ones since they suck balls), does anyone know if there's any reason why I shouldn't reset them (bans, etc.)?

Jangaroo, I declare a formal truce between us. But if you snipe me TOO much again in the future, it's ON! I should've taken a screencap of the backstabs and then the razorback you equipped...only to have me shoot you!
Okay, you know what, you and your backstabs can go to hellKuro Madoushi said:Jangaroo, I declare a formal truce between us. But if you snipe me TOO much again in the future, it's ON! I should've taken a screencap of the backstabs and then the razorback you equipped...only to have me shoot you!

:lol I'm just playing on this server for fun (as evidenced by all the taunt kill attempts). On the F7 servers, I play a little bit more seriously. If you see me as an engie or medic, THEN I'm playing for keeps.
For me it's GAF server for lulz.
F7 server serious business.
Freefrag server to kill n00bs.
If it makes you feel any better, I admit I'm not a good spy at all and need work on my game...not like freakin clown makeup who massacred red team on Hydro.

I'm serious! When I checked the rank when it was working, I was dead last on it...damn you Jangaroo and your sniping badassery! It's just extremely fun to cause havoc on the other team, get one-hit kills, and see the general panic when I "drop in".

OK OK TRUCE! I'll try not to backstab you if you're a medic next time with an almost uber charge. If you ask Jangaroo, I kept my word and ran at him from the front like a man when I called the truce and he went medic!

The biggest thing was not being able to set the next map function. That and the arena map bug and I was hoping the issue with the lack of map DLing was due to the mod. Mani mod didn't fix the issue unfortunately. I sent a detailed support ticket to their customer support on what I've tried to do to get map DLing to work and but they send a stupid form letter showing how to FTP to the server, something I've been doing since day one.
PI'm going to switch hosts once this month's contract is up. It's really quite ridiculous how many issues I've been having with gameservers.com

I didn't have any problems with gameservers when I had my server up.

Was it a vanilla server or did you use Metamod/Sourcemod or Manimod?
Were people able to download maps from the server? In the server log I get an error message along the lines of. (map exceeds maxfilesize 64). I had the server set up to use 128M, but still had the same message.

what do you mean? theres no command to set the next map?
rar said:
Nope...
http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Admin_commands_%28sourcemod%29
I didn't see it here either,
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Console_Command_List
Edit:
net_maxfilesize
Is the variable I'm having trouble with. The server defaults to 64 and doesn't seem to accept my change to 128. Maybe it's a hardcoded value or something.
Hmm, here's another relevant value,
sv_allowdownload 1
It should be defaulted on but I'll have to double check.
Javaman said:
ok i think ive got this sorted out, i could be wrong as sourcemods documentation isnt as organised as it could be
with only base plugins loaded, the nextmap function is only a cvar and not a command, so to set the nextmap youd need to type 'sm_nextmap ____" in console, with the underscores being the name of a map
to make it a command so you dont have to open up console, you could enable the 'mapchooser' plugin, which is a plugin included with sm but disabled by default. to turn it on all youd have to do is move it up from '../plugins/disabled' to '../plugins.'
so then youd be able to just type '/nextmap ____' in game to set the next map, and it would also turn off any map vote coming up
you mightve already had mapchooser turned on as it can also provide the automatic map voting, but the command isnt listed in their docs bc it comes from a nondefault plugin

Javaman said:
i think 64 is the max value of the cvar, which is set by valve
i could be wrong about this, but i think you need to compress the map files for download. you open up a program like 7zip and zip the map using 'bzip2' and place that in the maps folder
so in the tf2/maps there would be 'map.bsp' as well as 'map.bsp.bz2', and whenever somebody downloads it itll take the bz2 and uncompress it automatically
you could also set 'sv_downloadurl' with the parameter being the url of a website with the maps hosted, like 'http://www.javasimaginarysite.com/tf/maps/', but youd need a website

thanks for the tips! I was just reading up on bz2 zips earlier. I don't have access to a decent file server to redirect DL to, but perhaps with the bz2 files on the server (beside the originals) the clients will DL the zip which should fall below the limit. I'd also like to test a file below the limits to see if DLing even works at all from the server. Maybe Sciz's Pacman map will fit the bill.
So I'm from the UK and the gaf server is normally empty whenever I play, except for a couple of days ago where there were a few players. I join the game and join mid conversation between some gaffer and some trolling dude asking what GAF is, whether it was some kind of internet gang. All that fun ends when Javaman pops in and bans the guy for giving the gaffer verbal abuse. :lol
Got it all recorded in a demo as well which makes for fun little listening.
Well that's my little story; was impressed at how well run and tight ship it was, would play on more if it wasn't for the time difference.
