de_nuke and de_prodigy ftw…and now that pwnasaur is here, expect me to be in source a whole lot more.
As co-interim council leader I am standing by gxti’s decision on end of map voting. I like it just the way it is, cause we don’t play the same maps over and over and over this way.
If he has a dual monitor set up like you, he could run the task manager on one and see what his cpu usage is.
MAKE SURE IF YOU GET A LAPTOP IT HAS DEDICATED VIDEO MEMORY. I can’t stress how important that is for gaming. And it’s f.ing hard to find in a retail store. So hard in fact, I gave up and decided to build another box.
I have a 256 fx 5200 limited edition and it only runs source at 20-30 fps. It’s not all in how much ram the card has, more or less it’s how fast the gpu and how fast the ramdacs are.
What kind of graphics chipset is in your laptop? Perhaps gxti or myself can hook something up for you…
I guess I should have specified that 5v5 doesn’t necessarily mean the team, usually we take the top 2 or 3 as gxti mentioned.
1. When is your next one?
The next LAN is hosted on campus Feb 10, 2007.
2. Are they sponsored?
Yes, sponsored by names anywhere from ATD to NewEgg, nVidia, and ATI
3. Will there be cash prizes?
Most likely no, we play for fun, not necessarily for prizes. But there will be a few prizes to win.
4. And will CSS be played in the next lan?
Most likely yes, I’m trying to work with our webmaster gxti to get everything in order for several good brackets. For many different games.
5. And what would be the tourney settings for CSS? 2v2? 5v5?
Tourney settings would depend on how many people sign up for the tournament, most likely 5v5 but possibly 2v2 IF time allows.
Thanks for your interest, hope to see you at a lan. The food and drinks pay for the 5 bucks by themselves. I just hate how many people have to travel far to get here. But it’s definitely worth it!!!
I switched to source because 1.6 is no registering rubbish 2 years behind on updates…now back on topic!!
I bet I could beat you in UT, yep that would be a challenge. But not at that command point bs…I’m talking good old fashioned death match. You up to it?
I suppose I’ll use the same format:
1: Map voting needs to go. There’s nothing worse than playing Office,Dust, and Dust2 in rotation of each other. Leave Mani set to allow “extend” voting, but the map choice random if not extended.
map voting keeps the server populated, I can’t count how many times 1.6 pub drops 15 players because some admin changed the map and those 15 players didn’t want to play the new map.
2: Friendly fire. This is a controversial one, but it’s my personal preference to have it on. Forces players to think smarter and keeps the nade/spray down. Besides, Mani has tons of built in options to take care of greifers.
FF has to stay, see answer from gxti
3: Open the map set up a bit to include cbbl, Havana, etc.
i’m down with that
4: Set a ping limit of 200.
HL2 engine is a bit more demanding than hl, give them an extra 50 ms. So my vote is for 250. The only time I’ve ever lagged in the source pub is when my own junk started freaking out in the background.
5: Consider looking into the mod which locks you in 1st person on a teammate and disallows seeing the other team on minimap when dead. This one’s kind-of minor, though, as it takes away a lot from spectating after death.
I like it the way it is.
6: The biggest one is that the bot AI -has- to go down a notch. I realize that the bots could lack challenge for high-ability players, but to everyone I speak with they’re just extremely frustrating. On their current settings they wallhack repeatedly, and do all sorts of other nasty things. Additionally, it’s pretty gimp for the CTs as the bots have to be micromanaged while you’re being hunted.
Being new to CS and especially new to Source, I’m down with that. Makes me feel better about myself knowing that I can beat fake opponents.
7: Keep hosting this awesome server! We all really appreciate it!
consider it done
