Map Test Gameday Jan 3 2009

[Dox]

ack, are you UK/central europe too? my bad.

You should add "continent" to your list of things to post with your submission.

 

[Laz]

thanks, yes I am europe based, belgium to be precise

 

[Psy]

ack, are you UK/central europe too? my bad.

Yes.

 

[Ravidge]

If Dox releases a mappack I could ask my friend to setup a testing server in Sweden (2Gbit connection) to have an EU test tomorrow. But since I can't upload maps myself, sending him a mappack would be much prefered.

This should ease the problem with people in EU getting late slots (myself included).

i've made a minor revision to my map, to change how the spawns work (i was using disable/enable commands on them but i think that was causing issues as the game still tried to spawn people at disabled spawns).
the link is the same as before, but the version is now 1.0a
i hope that's ok

sorry about that.

 

[Ezekel]

z33w13r - if you're 100% confident then i'll try setting it back to that.
that's how i had it originally. but there was server crashes involved

 

[Dox]

Heres the deal:

1. All maps were ujploaded last night
2. Just went through and uploaded the two most recently changed maps.
3. Attempted to make a map pack last night, but after two hours of uploading the 251mb (after zipping) file, it tells me I have an invalid security certificate... so the map pack idea was a bust
4. Fixed the schedule for the European crowd. (so your map is at 4 AM? who cares, TF2 is your main priority in life! )

 

[Psy]

Thanks for the time change. I appreciated it.

 

[Ezekel]

ok. i've put it back to that way.

v1.0b

that's the one. i'm not making any more changes tonight on it. promise

the links still the same.

really really sorry

 

[Ezekel]

um, it's getting fairly close to start time now... did 1.0b get substituted?
cos 1.0a will not work and stuff. sorry...

 

[Icarus]

maxplayers 18?

its 22/18 players right now.. the extra players are "unconnected" when it switched to arena

 

[Psy]

Can't believe that Arena still hasn't been sorted out on the server. :|

 

[YM]

I as a moderator here and an admin on the server now post a new rule, which no other mod here will overrule until they can prove to me that they ahve fixed the issue.
This rule is: No arena maps in gameday

This issue MUST be fixed before anyone is allowed to submit arena maps to future gamedays and it MUST be proven to me that it is fixed before people are allowed to submit arena maps to gameday.



(I appologise to anyone working on an arena map for the inconvenience, I advise you to bug the person in charge of the server stuff (as Immortal D to find out who that is) until they fix the issue of crashes in the arena map AND afterwards)

wtf happened to the ordering? MeleeFort being bumped a few hours later certainly doesn't do me any good.

We needed room at the front for the European mappers.

 

[Dox]

Ok, gameday was way too long, and petered out at the end. because of this What Is Schwa is getting the very first slot, ahead of even the European crown, on the 10th's gameday.

 

[Ezekel]

was fun and stuff, but i was a lil dissappointed at how there was hardly anyone around to test the last few maps. (especially as mine was one of them and i worked VERY hard to get it ready in time for this)

everyone who left also missed swift too.

 

[The Asylum]

Ya, I bet ctf_meleefort would have been better with more than a 4v4

 

[Rexy]

Yeah, What is Schwa's Map was prime material, too bad we didn't see more players on.

I understand there's no easy solution for this so I can't stress out about it. But you do what you gotta do and move on.
