I think sometime soon I'll make custom configs for each map/gametype. That way some of the shorter maps can get more rounds and some of the longer maps can get fewer rounds and/or shorter rounds.

 

[gregor7777]

My main problem with Heavy is lack of dynamic mechanics. As far as attacking lots of classes are pretty bare bones. All a Heavy can really do is shoot. Every other class has additional mechanics that make them interesting to play. The buffalo steak sandvich stands out as the exception, but that's really more of a gimmick than a useful ability.

Agreed. That's why doing anything besides rushing sucks. There's simply isn't any depth to the class.

How would you guys feel about cutting ctf to 1 round, but upping the caps needed to 4 or 5 (and also dropping the time limit to 15~20 minutes)?

Go for it.

If you are making Custom Configurations, make King of the Hill 3 rounds, that way one team can "Win"

 

[Borgnine]

Fuck offffffffffff.

Everyone hates lakeside but me.

I like just about every official map except for dustbowl and 2fort. I'm not a fan of hydro, but that's the mode's fault, not the map's fault. If it were identical but cp instead of tc I'd love it.

This is me, except I still like Dustbowl and 2Fort is good with the right player mindset. The only official maps that I consider bottom on the list are Frontier and Pipeline.

Wasted Uber turns into Awesome Capture

6 kills, a few assists, and a handful of destructions ... all after the uber was over.

I would have ended this at tooting the horn. "Tooting my own horn..."

Also, I have been stockpiling weapons for the Meat the Medic up date, so I have a bunch of dups. If you need anything, let me know, you can have anything on Page 1 and 5. Of minor note, I have a decent amount of shogun weapons:

I’m still missing quite a few weapons, so there are about 6 of your dups that I could use.

What would you want for them?

 

[Forkball]

Make all KotH maps scout-only.

 

[Clydefrog]

I played every class last night.

I now have 5 hours played of heavy! Reached heavy milestone 3 LOL

and over 200 hours of sniper...

Some jackass just added me to his friends list and when I asked him how he found me he threatened to hack my information if I didn't stay on the line and answer his questions like "how old are you?"

I de-friended him and changed my steam and gmail passwords... I should be good, right?

Sounds like some dumb kid. Report that nonsense to Valve and maybe they'll ban his steam account. People need to learn that you can't treat strangers like crap just because it's the internet.

You shouldn't be using the same password for gmail and steam. If you don't steam guard will protect you even if someone gets your steam password.

I don't use the same passwords for the two. I just changed them just in case. *shrugs*

I know this freaked you out, but I find this hilarious. He was e-mugging you. Honestly I would have just kept talking to him, why the hell did he need to know how old you are? And I assume Steam accounts are pretty difficult to hack now thanks to Steam Guard, you shouldn't worry.

Doesn't it bother you the way people act on the internet? Treating people they don't know like crap... horrible horrible attitudes and language, xbox live hate speech ect. I really don't understand why people think it's ok.

Not trying to mount a crusade here or anything, but I'm personally disturbed by the way some people act and wish they had to take more responsibility for their actions.

Stupid jerk looses access to steam for cyber-bullying or phising or whatever and thinks "Gee, maybe I should have some common decency when interacting with people on the internet". Seems like the right out come to me.

What about plr maps? 20-25 minute time limit with 1 round would be a sweet spot (the only exception to this rule being plr_hightower).

 

[DogWelder]

Why did you make degroot 5 rounds? It can't be defended, blue first is always gonna win 3-2.

 

[Borgnine]

Why did you make degroot 5 rounds? It can't be defended, blue first is always gonna win 3-2.

I totally defended that shit last night. It was instant respawn though, maybe that had something to do with it. Is there a way to add instant respawn just to degroot? I think it would be helpful in maximizing the chopping and the shooting of the arrows and the overall delight.

 

[Yeef]

I think plr is fine as it is now.

Because it can't be defended. 2 rounds ends in like 4 minutes. it takes some people that long to just load the map. If, somehow, it is defended, it'll end after 15 minutes.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Fucking mini-sentries.

Fix yer goddamn pro ping before complainin'!

@borgnine I've yet to see blu win on degroot...

I've added 6 new maps to the server.

• cp_melee barn
• cp_oilfield
• koth_aperture_science
• pl_borax
• pl_canyon
• pl_haywood

 

[Javaman]

What about plr maps? 20-25 minute time limit with 1 round would be a sweet spot (the only exception to this rule being plr_hightower).

That would break upwards. Iirc it still map changes at the end of the map timer instead of the round, robbing the second team from playing a full attack round. There's another map like this... thunder mountain? I would strongly recommend againt going for a forced rotation. One bad map is enough to clear out 1/2 the server. Two in a row will kill it altogether. There's a reason the same'o maps keep getting played, because people like to play them. They're comfortable. If people are bored with the map maybe we could try something different like all certain classes or something.to mix it up a bit

Well, he's posting them here so regulars can download them outside the game so they don't start bitching.

 

[Twig]

Dude, look at who you're talking to.

To be fair, it's only in very rare instances that I get angry enough to actually mean anything I say, and most of the people I talk to (at least, in TF2 (at least, that used to be the case (there are more regulars now that don't know me))) know this.

Also to be fairer, I agree with him. There are lines that I won't cross (the typical hatespeech, for example, pisses me off, unless it's actually cleverly done and is a joke) that a lot of people do cross, just because they can get away with it.

Also to be fairest, I am hilarious

Spoiler

[Hazaro]

I have them, but I don't think we will get more than 6 people if we do a map change.

This is good logic.

didyougetridofmapvotingyet.jpg

The only way to get people to play customs is to have them on servers. Eventually enough people will have it so that it's a non-issue: see Cashworks. This reactionary "oh god there aren't enough people! GET RID OF IT!" is just a circle of misery and despair. Besides, if people don't want to play customs, fuck them. They're dicks anyway, and probably will end up voting for Dustbowl.

Are payload & payload race maps counted as one and the same on server rotations? I thought there was a clear distinction between the two.

 

[Twig]

I can't download the maps from TF2maps.net. It just takes me to a page that says I need to wait a minute before downloading another map, before I actually get to download one. Over and over. EDIT: Nevermind, only seems to happen with oilfield, for some reason. Guess I'll find it somewhere else?

That is quite literally the worst solution to the problem. Doing class rushes is fun, but only if the map isn't boring.

I like that you removed all PL maps from the server except for tundermountain. Just get rid of that and it will be great! You can add PLR back in though. U)

Can the server even feed out that large a file?
Old server had a 25MB limit and downloaded at like 15kbps right?

Hm, good point. How do downloads work these days, YEEF?!

 

[Yeef]

didyougetridofmapvotingyet.jpg

Nope, but I set it up so that the last 7 maps played can't be nominated which should at least reduce the problem of playing the same 4 maps over and over.

Where do I install them?

EDIT: I think I got it.

Just download them to your tf/maps folder. You don't even need to extract them since source games can read straight from bzips.

Are payload & payload race maps counted as one and the same on server rotations? I thought there was a clear distinction between the two.

Java's just senile.

As far as TF2 configs are concerned there are only 2 modes: arena and non-arena. You can also make custom config files for individual maps. So basically what I did was make config files for each mode, then make a config file for each map that says 'run the config file for this mode.'

I can't download the maps from TF2maps.net. It just takes me to a page that says I need to wait a minute before downloading another map, before I actually get to download one. Over and over. EDIT: Nevermind, only seems to happen with oilfield, for some reason. Guess I'll find it somewhere else?

The server doesn't send out the maps, the client automatically downloads them from my webspace (above), which should be fairly quick. For some people it downloads slowly in-game for some reason even though they can get it at full sped via browser.
