**Need help filling the TF2Maps.net Server**

[drp]

While the server gets full on gamedays, the rest of the time its pretty empty. I'm asking you guys to help me get the server full during the week. I will be able to do my part almost everyday after work, 6pm central.

If you can get a group of friends and fill the server, please do so. Our 3 members with the most playtime on the server will get 6 months 'donator' status along with a few admin privileges on the server.

Having a popular game server will eventually bring more members to the community.

exactly what im aiming for

I'd go play if VAC would stop fucking kicking me off servers for no reason.... stupid anti cheat I'm doing nothing wrong and it even says that, its kicking me off because it can't connect to the VAC servers or some stupid shit, it means I can't play tf2 for longer than 20 minutes without this stupid thing kicking me

Count me in...

Has anyone found out the solution to Youme's problem? My brother has the same issue (as did I on the same computer, i gave him my old one when I upgraded), and its quite frustrating for him to get into a map when he has to constantly reconnect.

I will try to get in sometimes, but I will be trying to boost my clan's server also.

 

[Shmitz]

Do we have custom maps on there yet? I noticed the name just says stock.

 

[MangyCarface]

I'll be on once I get home, I'll go nearly every night. We should get sprays advertising the server

 

[MrAlBobo]

now...this server...a series of problems
1) The turbine to 2fort to turbine to 2fort thing is getting kinda old, some more maps (gravelpit, dustbowl, goldrush and random custom maps that do not in anyway involve intel) would be quite nice.
2) When we found a way to get to dustbowl and goldrush, the map was ending at unusual places. Basically the map would switch after 3 capture points had been taken, so we would play round 1 then half of round 2 and the server would switch it.
3) The team balancer/ autoswitch seems to be taking a break, one team will frequently have 2-3 more players then another team and remain that way until someone decides to be nice.
4) Not really an issue, but it doesn't hurt to have little messages come up during the game and tell the random people on the server exactly who we are and where we can be found.

so...yeah

The server has a cap point still embedded from the CTF style you were running before adding the CP maps. That is why you can only capture 3 control points before it changes maps. You need to remove the cap limit and either run the maps stock (the way they were originally designed to end) or add a time limit to the map. I typically do a time limit of 45 minutes a map. This way, if say a CTF map end before that time limit, it will switch anyway. It just prevents the never ending hell that is CTF, and also allows amble time to complete a full round of CP on both sides (attacking/defending).

You can decal maps if you decompile and add the TF2maps.net banner. While I think that is a great idea for advertising, we all know the inevitable consequences or decompiling a stock map. The spray idea very well might be the best way to go.

If I may offer one suggestion, start small with the amount of maps in rotation. Maybe 3 or 4 maps total. I would make 3 of them very very popular maps. This will attract people to your server, and it will remain in their history, as well as many adding it to favorites. After an allotted amount of time, remove one map, and add a custom. If you eventually become a 24/7 custom maps server, remember at that time that what ever map you load, you can now decal with TF2maps.net decals:woot:

Hope this helps. And I hope I did not step on any toes with anything I said. Happy Gaming:thumbup1:

[AWESOME-O]

Oh idea: Mayby have every map Beta//Alpha//Final in our database availible for play?
And that you just message an admin, hey we like to test this map again, can you put it on?
