I have been playing this alot lately and would be glad to help you populate the server if needed (it will be).

different problem.

 

you cant connect to gaming.wcu.edu:27025 but you can connect to 152.30.192.240:27025 so DNS server down?

 

Server was down. It has been reset by Mike.

Nuclear power plants? SWEET!

 

my dad works for Siemens, which bought Westinghouse, the part of the company that makes the generators, so maybe your plant is using some of the generators that my dad saw being made, he’s a QA guy.

 

i know some funny stories about what can go wrong in the shipping of the generators.

 

Doubtful as both Sharon Harris and McGuire are fairly old by our standards. I bet that he’ll see the generators for Duke’s Lee Nuclear Station currently under construction.

 

By the way, tell him he needs to make them run cooler.

 

Also, all further dirty laundry to be aired in RL.

oh yeah… the pR0ns is both darker than the dark side and bigger than the internetz… you can’t escape it’s calling… “FOR FREE CLIPS AND PHOTOS CLICK HERE” then it’s all downhill from there

 

Actually the installer for it clearly says “Antivirus 2008” or some variation of that.

ill be gone for a few days, hopefully just one. I have to crash my computer. I got a bad trojan( Antivirus XP 2008) which basically completely ate my antivirus, and my mozilla, and IE. My screen saver settings got deleted and a *edited* load more. Yeah sucks completely, my gaming is fine just my fiance uses this comp too and she cant save or send any pictures of our son and us to her family and it redirects me on google now. So yeah………..be back soon

 

You have to double click the installer for that one. Way to go.

i understand thats why you want problems reported. but when some randy person just goes to join a pub and it kicks them for whatever reason before they can get in, they wont be likely to try to find out the website and report it, they’ll just leave…hence my point

 

This ground looks familiar. Have we been here before?

[MasterP]

Maybe this will suck away from the Firefox hype.

ok i got in

pretty lame tho honestly its just regular 1.6 except it pulls your name and avatar from steam friends.

 

Grafting TF2 features into the game will not save 1.6.

 

It is however good for us to have a server. Like anything else, getting in on the ground floor is a good way to create a long-lasting server. If the game flops all it takes is a right click and a left click on delete to wash our hands of it.

All those are relatively new video cards aren’t they? I dunno maybe older video cards and slight changes to the config file will cause the flashbangs not to work, I dunno what to tell you man.

 

The x600 is 3 years old. The 8800s are about 16-18 months.

 

See if it still does that, it seems stupid for Steam to give those running DX7 an advantage. I bet they fixed it.

 

Also, I hate to keep bashing on CAL, but they aren’t exactly the most accurate source of information. If you go back a few years you’ll find some good lols on their forums.

[MasterP]

Bitey said:

Wish we could get same results on things when I tried it along with many others on the CAL website they came by the same results as me flashbang did not turn the screen white, I didn’t just pull it out of my *edited*….

 

With mat_dxlevel 70, flashbangs work fine on my 8800GTX, my roommate’s 8800GTS, and my laptop’s x600.

[MasterP]

Bitey said:

95 is a usable setting I remember fiddling with it a year or so ago, but again your dxlevel should work with and help your hardware, if it is causing more pain than help, then take it as low as you can without breaking the zBlock minimum. I know that 70 and lower makes it so flashbangs do not effect you, at least on the visual side, your ears still ring.

 

I just tried it at 70 and flashbangs did, in fact, turn my screen white.

 

95 is the pseudo-dx10 that Steam uses.

If you wish to reinstate yourself as CL then please, take over this process and do it however you feel is best MasterP.

 

Whitelist? I’m not installing a crapton of custom skins on my gaming machine. I trust Onecare but not that much.

[MasterP]

FPS: Call of Duty 4, Doom 2, Quake 3 (more for engine than game)

Strategy: Homeworld, Supreme Commander, Star Wars Rebellion

RPG: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Diablo 2, Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

MMO: World of Warcraft, Hellgate London, Team Fortress 2

Sandbox: Simcity 4, Sins of a Solar Empire, Pharoah

Other: Star Wars: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Mechwarrior 4, Halo

 

Edited to add the greatest RTS ever made.

Bitey said:

It has been up for almost two days now

 

I hope you mean 1 day, otherwise you waited over 24 hours before telling the CL you installed something major on his server…

[MasterP]

Maybe a few years ago I would have bought the set but it’s really a bad habit to get into.

 

You need to warn people before selling them a highly addictive substance

[MasterP]

Playing smacktards at ASU and being told that if we didn’t agree with how they were screwing us we could leave.

[MasterP]

Liam said:

Because we want to review them.

 

So now you’re going to install and test EVERY custom skin before it’s used on the server? I hate to say that sounds retardedly nazish but it kinda does. If wallhacks are the primary concern why not simply block the files assosciated with walls?

 

Also, you intend to put EVERY custom skin approved on the server? What happens when they are updated? This seems like a ton of extra work when you need it the least.

ORLY MASTERP? I THOUGHT AT OUR JOBS THEY JUST THREW CRAP ON SERVERS AND COMPUTERS THAT RUN THE PLANTS AND LET THEM GO. TESTING IS LAME OGMOMGOOGGM GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

 

Edit – Maybe the radiation has gotten to us?

 

Hell yeah. We never tested anything on our servers at McGuire. I mean, whats the worst that can happen? They’re just nuclear reactors, nothing major. And hey if a server does crash, no biggie, it’s just Charlotte. Easy to evacuate right?

 

Not sure what they told you but we were told it was less than a rem extra per year outside containment. Not sure I believe that but lol?

 

Bitey it’s hard to trust in you when some of your actions make absolutely no common sense at all and you leap at them without any thought of consequence. I hold no grudge against this club and wish it the best but I fear it’s quickly becoming like ASU’s club.

 

Also, I think it unfair for you to take any credit on the increase or decrease in population of any server. That is the CL’s responsibility and thus his victory or failure. The increase in CSS population since the end of May is my victory, not yours. The decrease in CS1.6 and TF2 is the responsibility of the CLs for those games and since no proactive measure was taken once they quit caring that makes them partially your failure as it is your job to replace them if they aren’t doing their jobs.

Bitey said:

This is now a personal issue, you want to call me out on things you call me on the phone or you talk to me in person, this is BS and I am calling you on that, none of what you have said is the full truth, it is tweaked to look like you are in the right and it is non-sense, now if you want to discuss this like a “professional” or adults then you come see me, or call me right now.

 

You talking to me or Kuros?

[MasterP]

Sam Winchester said:

Rtv would uber rock. We usually have enough people that want to do it.

 

It’s not for the CLs lack of trying…

[MasterP]

Liam said:

Because they’re not relevant to anyone else.

 

Server changes aren’t relevant to the server regulars?

[MasterP]

Bitey that’s all well and good but you honestly don’t know how many times I’ve been the last to find out about changes. Point in case, having a map arbitrarily added to the rotation that you KNEW had problems. That’s a second one, need I go on? I can if you really want to push the issue. Stats were also reset arbitrarily.

 

EDIT: Also add to this the “server updates” made by Liam that he’ll only tell me over MSN as “they’re not relevant to anyone else”. It would have been nice if I had been told about this at least before the changes went into effect. Also, if lag is down by “85%” and “registration is vastly improved” I think everyone would like to know why.

 

And spare me the heroics about protecting the players. All I asked was to privately test and configure the anti-cheat before risking it on the main server. Not only is that a MUCH safer practice, it’s also what professional server admins do in real life with real production servers. If you knew anything about the professional administration of servers you’d know this. I had no problem with running an anti-cheat program, my desire was simply to ensure that regulars had as little interruptions or problems as possible. How hard is it to test something before potentially running off players? I mean really, look back at the posts, all I ever asked for on this was more time to test.

 

I have no desire to be apart of an operation that hap-hazardly installs modules onto their servers with absolutely no testing as this is the most guaranteed way to kill a server. So you got lucky this time. You certainly didn’t the last time a major module was installed and it was my hope you’d have learned from that. Obviously not.

 

Anyways, best of luck to whoever gets CL next and GLHF with the micromanaging you’ll endure. I hate to be so negative but I can’t remember any CL being completely overridden with as little discussion as I just did and it’s something I won’t tolerate or let slide. If I can’t have complete control over a server that’s supposed to be mine I don’t want any control at all.

 

Obviously I was doing a good job, why couldn’t you simply let me continue to do so? Did it ever occur to you that I was using the same sound judgement on this issue as I had on every other?

[MasterP]

On second thought, why don’t you post the changes here so everyone will know.

[MasterP]

Kuros said:

I take offense to that too. Mean asses.

 

LoL

 

Nothing but

[MasterP]

Liam said:

Hop on MSN

 

Can’t on this machine. If you want we can discuss it when I get back Monday night.

[MasterP]

Kuros said:

I take offense to that.

 

I laugh at your taking of offense to him laughing at you.

[MasterP]

Please send me a brief summary when you get the chance.

A post that was only partially on topic and not at all in the spirit of the thread

 

A script, in computer terms, is something that is pre-programmed to occur automatically at a specific time or for a specific event. This pretty much matches what you talked about. Now if you want to go so far to call it a hack, by all means do so. I simply give it less credit than that.

 

The ruling is: Don’t do it.

[MasterP]

I have already given approval for this map to be played in non-competition at the LAN if at all possible.

What about hopping around in a circle, while the round was ‘basically’ over? I mean, theres like 3 cts left on dust2, and your a t in site just sitting in the open, jumping around.

 

MasterP said:

I don’t mind you doing it AFTER the round to show off but anytime during the round gives an extremely unfair advantage, no one can honestly argue against that.
