Gene Inari Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Would've enjoyed it more though if we didn't play a bunch of new KotH maps. Not much a Pyro can do if he doesn't know where the nearest health and ammo packs are. Well I'd say they were equally new to all of us, if anything it made everything a little more even. Also, DZ, you might want to look into how Reserved slots work. Someone was trying to get in, and despite there being 20/23 players, it still was kicking him due to slot reservations.

"User" Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Last night I was out of it somewhat due to my job and being tired and all that, I kind of gave a half-ass attitude as a result. Team XXL Manor came in and we had immortal engineers and I had BS lag all over on that map I just don't even know what asgkjasga;s... I've been making a habit of inviting some of them (the one's I have on my friends list) and they in turn may invite other ex-ZDMC members as well. As a result I've noticed the games have been considerably more difficult as pubbers end up making up a smaller % of a full game. I loved KOTH_Arctic, by the way. We must play that more! Ditto. Also, DZ, you might want to look into how Reserved slots work. Someone was trying to get in, and despite there being 20/23 players, it still was kicking him due to slot reservations. Slot reservation to my knowledge saves 2 slots at all times for people who might join later and have a reserve spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Oh no, Ajc. I [most likely] won't be able to make it tonight. Bama game at 6PM... hopefully we dominate UT and I can jump into TF2 early. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Inari Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Slot reservation to my knowledge saves 2 slots at all times for people who might join later and have a reserve spot. Hmm... It should be changed IMO. Most of our regulars that actually have Slot Reservations are the ones that show up early. It seems a bit silly to restrict 2 spots for people that MIGHT have reservations and happen to come late enough, but not so late that the server is "full".

Now that I have a job I'd be willing to chip in a bit monthly to cover the cost to increase the server size to 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No no no. 32 players is bad, bad, bad. I seriously would not join the server if it was 32/32. I've done that too many times and it is...bad. TF2 is just made for <24. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarFoxfan-FUR_ever Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That was a great night once again. I had a slow start, but once all the regulars started leaving, all the randoms were just....meh. Hopefully I wasn't a bad medic. LOL The whole team calling out to me all the time on (was it gorge or dustbowl?) And there was maybe one other medic on the team. And all of a sudden i'm good as a medic and solder? I went from demoman to Heavy, to Scout, to Medic and Soldier? Why all the randomness for what I play good with LOL Good times though. Just maybe we should never play that mansion Halloween skin map ever again. Way too hard to attack in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psy_commando Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Its been somewhat enjoyable tonight. And, It really shows that I haven't really played tf2 in 2 weeks.. Anyways, it seems there were enough good players to almost balance things out. But maybe not on gorge though, not sure what really happened there. Also I crashed 3 or 4 times tonight ! I don't get why L4D2 and the other source based games don't crap out as easily as TF2.. And it has completely messed up all of my recordings... And I forgot to record a big part of the night .. By the way, I heard that with the drop system, if you don't play a week and then play the next, you'll have all the drops of the week you've missed plus those of the current week. Is that true ? I'm wondering if I shouldn't take a break to have more Halloween loot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 I am a No Heroes VIP, and I have been since all of their servers were 32 player. Let me say this: Whether or not 32 player works depends on the map. Large maps like Dustbowl, Cahsworks, and and Goldrush are fine. But, KOTH maps are terrible, as are most 5CP maps and smaller A/D maps like Gorge. So, since we play a variety of maps, I will NOT set maxplayers above what it is now. Also, I made some changes yesterday that you may not have noticed. 1. RTV: There must be 8 people on the server for RTV now. That way it always takes more than one person RTVing to change the map. (If you have 6 people, and one is not an admin, invite people) There was an issue in smaller games where 1 person would RTV and it would change the map. That's not cool. 2. Reserve Slots: I have set the reserve slots to type 2 with a threshold of 10 and reduced the number of slots 1. This means when 10 people with slot permissions join, the reserve slot will turn-off allowing the server to fill to capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidi Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I like the reserve slot part; that seems like it'll work better particularly for people who don't have reserve slots such as non SF-O friends. It sounds like I missed a rather awkward game night though. Curse you scheduled game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 NOTE: I WILL BE AWAY FROM AN INTERNET-CONNECTED COMPUTER ALL WEEKEND. Starting in about 30 minutes. If Valve drops the Halloween update today, I will try to get the server updated using my phone, provided the park I will be in has cell service. I have Steam on my phone, so if it happens, send me a Steam Message. I may not be able to respond immediately. *downloads RDP client for Android* I will try to update the server using RDP on my phone if possible. No guarantees, though. Bad timing, I know, but I made this commitment before the Halloween update was announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Monroe Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Real life has happened. For now, I am unable to make it to any game night games, as my schedule disallows it. This may or may not change. Either way, it was a grand time playing with all you losers. </3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
