so, the .ini generators I found did the whole entire thing… I need to figure out a small, lightweight .ini style to use for these things…
alright you silly little peoples. I’ll get a screenshot as soon as I get my rig back together. Linux + Beryl + all sorts of other goodies. Desktop on a cube, yummy.
either I will:
A) figure this out and correct the problem
gut this beast and do it all again from scratch to see if that makes it more workableC) in true hacker fashion design some other backdoor to do all this stuff for me outside of rcon
when this will be effective, though, I have no idea. none whatsoever.
eh, playing with .ini creator… let’s see what happens. I’ll have almost all tourney to prepare instructions.
correction: oh yes, I have most certainly played before. and watched it at the last lan. Just it was a high school friend’s copy and console. plus, i’m on the 1.6 sign-up as of, hmm, 10 minutes in the future. never played though
whatever bs they were trying to pull installing gentoo for me on 1.7 MB of space when they had 76 GB to work with sure didn’t work. I gave up. I ain’t going back.
yeah, you heard me, 1.7 Mb. it was in the debuggin info it left me.
ah, dangit, missed an opportunity. but tomorrow night you… wait… i’m hikin to smoky mountain for a basketball game. erm, depends on what time i’m back but quite doubtful I’ll play then coz of time. friday, you’re on. I’m thru with class at 11, be back in the dorm around noon, and from then on I’ll be running maps and scripts giving them a test run, and you’re definitely welcome to join.
AS IS EVERYONE ELSE.
i want people…
I will shortly. however i fail to be able to accept that they release gentoo in a form that won’t install, and I want to get this thing to work just once for my own satisfaction… lol.
I would most definitely play if i had a xbox 360 and a copy of the game, although I have neither of those.
plus, just for the record, 90% of the people i’ve seen using the awp are very very narrowsighted. they have their alley they snipe on, and that is it. they have no peripheral vision whatsoever. Can you say knife kill? I mean, come on! you get past the death run by dodging maybe 2 shots total and then you are free to run around and get that prick. I do that often.
actually I totally agree with killty chan and gxti similtaneously. yes, gxti is right, these people are here often just to boost their stats or whatever. so they complain when it is not easy. but yet killty chan got it in that it is simple learning that must be done. flanking, dodging, smoke nades, etc. are all wonderfully effective. I know this well. I am all for unlimiting them. we just need to add a balls requirement clause to the motd for the server.
i am inclined to ask if you’re for real. from two unique pc’s I can see the same image. i will try to access it from the uc comp as a guest. if i can then you got problems
I will now proceed to comment.
First of all, how the fark did you un-close the thread and who did it? I closed this thing so I could fully post everything before people got annoyed and started railing on me.
Second of all you appear quite opinionated and also appear quite experienced. We have meetings of the Gaming Club at which Council Leaders are determined. But from the sounds of it you already know this, as I have heard you used to be CL or something like that. I have had zero competition becoming the CL. Yes I am a freshman, and I may be very un-mainstream in UT, coz I don’t go out hunting for tourneys. But I came up here and went to meetings and requested we utilize a UT server, and thus I am now the CL. So you are all my minions. I will make tourneys and rules and all and you will nod your head and play.
HAHA! did you actually go for that? okay, I was being sarcastic. but really if you want the CL spot, I would be glad to hand it over, or maybe 1v1 for the spot. There’s no difference in the two, it’s going to you either way… lol. anywho, dude, if you wanna see changes be active in the forums! coz I am taking any suggestions or requests to populate this so I can get back to playin UT with real people.
However, the upcoming tourney plans are already pretty much etched in stone. I’m not gonna rework this entire thing before then coz I’ll have shatloads of homework to do this week prolly and also tonight’s some football game that a few people said might be worth watching, supposedly the winner goes on to be the champion or some bull like that.
I’ll review the maplist suggestions, tho. it kinda narrows the field.
And the time thing, I must correct you on that. Yes we have the room for 14 hours. yay. but we have two hours for tourney bracket signups and general setup. down to 12 hours. we also have 12 tourneys we will attempt to run. People here don’t specialize. I myself am thinkin of playin 3 or 4 other tourneys. So running tourneys similtaneously is illogical. So I’m trying to make a 1-2 hour tourney. And we also have to consider the administrative time, round setup and all. If we have between 32 and 64 people register for the tourney, let’s see how that registers. I’m using 3 filter rounds (below). plus then I am going to do a seeder round. that’s 4. Then if we seed just 8 players, then the brackets I am using demand 5 rounds. That’s 9. So we have 9 rounds. I could picture 10 min rounds if we run it smoothly enough. If i get a 2 hour slot that is.
Weapon stay: Yeah, I’m gonna be running some probably short term rounds. You may like that other suggestion for the tourneys you’ve been to, but hold your horses. Shorter rounds do mean few spawns of weapons. which is *edited* difficult to overthrow the early leader. As such, that is illogical. Plus, stop being lazy and cleaning the map to keep your enemy down. guard whatever it is they’re in need of. It’s simple second-level strategy my friend. Plus it forces players to be more versatile and use multiple weapons for that very reason, because they may not be able to get through the other guy to their weapon. And also this gives credit fairly to the best fraggers, not just to the map ho’s. I may even consider ammo stay next LAN to be honest… but I will be glad to debate that before then.
redeemer, ion painter, etc. – yes, these may be very frustrating. but on these tight 1v1 maps, remember, it’s not like they can just blow you away and then turn the tide of the game. They are likely to get killed too. So those weapons are more equalizers, because afterwards you both have to recover weapons and health and all.
power-ups: I’m thinking up hastening the spawn time of those too. or disabling them altogether. I think a good 20 second time is enough if the players can think to guard them, for same reason as weapon stay. further thinking to come later.
plus, on your comment that respawning with 100 health and grabbing the rocket launcher, well, one player just scored. So in the big picture one of them is advantaged. A good frag match is kinda like basketball. expect alternating scores anyway, but if someone gets two in a row, then they get the lead.
more commentary will come later as I amend the post above with updates and the official bracket plan.
