I am partial to the sniper, but I am fairly aggressive, I enjoy pushing as a sniperMe a Nickname are both good with Sniper, unless we’re shooing at each other in which case we both suck. Idk why.
Getting this upgrade shouldn’t take as long as getting the server. The problem with getting the server was the previous owner didn’t want to get off and the server array he was being moved to wasn’t completed until this past spring. When we get the chips in our hands, me and/or Nickname can run over to the datacenter and toss them in the server and be back up within 30 minutes. Doubling the processing power is really something that needs doing if we plan on expanding any further than we are right now.
If we get the upgrade I’d like to see source take off in several directions.
Dice, if we have 30% free now, the upgrade would increase that to 60%.

So if this is such a team oriented game, how come there are no leagues for it?
My friend and I were discussing this, and we came down to the conclusion that this game isn’t marketed for leagues, it is aimed towards the younger audience because of the cartoony graphics. Most leagues have players that are around 20+, while TF2 is meant for 14+.
It’d be nice to have leagues for TF2 though, because it’s so team-oriented, you can’t solo at all.
There aren’t any leagues because TF2 requires FORETHOUGHT. It is just as much a strategy game as it is a FPS and that sort of thing makes a league hard to run with. Don’t kid yourself, most players in CAL are
I typically play an agressive defense Demoman. If you can get used to the projectile nature of the pipebombs it can be a very powerful class as you can bombard an area from around the corner. The remote-detonate pretty much guarantees that the person who touches my intel first dies.
Nickname was a monster Pyro before the achievements were released and Kuros is full of win when using a Soldier. Kalia is a decent Medic.
All classes are good when used correctly and they all have benefits. Tbh, the game is very well balanced to contain so much Valve code.

saweet!!!what about server load.
what does it take with the settings you are thinking about. Is it likely we will run into problems with other server by adding this one?
I can’t tell what the server load will be until I talk with the owner and get the config. It’ll be probably 3 times heavier at 33tick.
Zombie was TAG’s 2nd server and has brought in hundreds over the last 3 years. No guarantees that a WCU Zombie would do that well but it’s likely it will.

movement.. (i can’t airstrafe)The new server config includes cl_cry 0. This should help with this problem.

I’ve recently downloaded Steam and Team Fortress 2. It’s a lot of fun and I’d like to play on the wcu servers. However, I’m having a few tech problems. If any of you have suggestions, that would be great.1. The game itself plays just fine on my computer, but when a match is over, it takes way too long to load the next map. Like, five minutes. Also, if I hit the Start button, the game sometimes stops responding.
2. I haven’t been able to get the sprays to work. Whenever I try to upload an image, it tells me either the file is corrupt or the size is wrong.
Taking a while typically means your computer needs an upgrade. Despite the graphics, TF2 is a very detailed game and requires quite a bit more power than CSS. Try turning your settings down and see if it gets better. If not you may have gotten some corrupt game files.
Idk what the requirements are for sprays, I gave up on them a while back.

GL HF on your new server.
There are other servers that have been proposed that have a much higher chance of self populating than the one you’ve suggested. Before we get another TF2, we’ll be getting a CSS Zombie and Surf.
You’ve been playing TF2 for a month, some of us have been playing for the better part of a year.
Btw, the whole “you’ve only played once in the past
” thing has already been used by people in this club and was proven horribly wrong. Just because we don’t play much NOW doesn’t mean he havn’t played long enough to know what we’re talking about. People said I didn’t know about the CSS server and look now, I seem to be fitting the CL role pretty *edited* good. Nickname has played TF2 enough to win at 3 LANs, one of which was at a rival school. Try to have at least some respect as he does have a clue about the workings of TF2.
Wish I was there to help but between you and Steven this shouldn’t be overly hard. Make sure you back things up in miltiple places, preferably not CRIB hard drives as they have a tendency to get reformatted with data on them.
I don’t want to pile on but this problem is with all Steam-based games. TAG didn’t get some of the most popular Zombie and Surf servers overnight. It took months of sitting on them to get them populated. Once they get going the entire franchise gets full almost by itself but you have to get that first server populated and that takes time, effort, and a superb admin staff. I was head admin on our Zombie server for almost a year and when I left it was full nearly 24/7. Two years later it’s still that full, even after IP changes.
The debate here is whether or not the maps are the sole thing keeping the server from taking off. My server admin experience has taught me that maps mean little when compared to playing with actual people. People may join a server to play a good map but unless you give them diversity they are going to get bored and move on. Once you start a 24/7 server you cannot change it to a normal rotation without running about 75% of the players off so I guess the question is do we want to lock ourselves into a 24/7 map or do we want to take a little time and get a rotation based community that won’t bolt when we change a few maps.
Also just an FYI. I had to RMA an older BFG 6600 GT and their tech support at every level is 100% American. All emails were custom replied to in perfect English. When they got my card (according to UPS online tracking) they had a replacement shipped within an hour and I got the brand new card 2 days later.
Their cards may not be that good anymore but their RMA and tech support is full of win.

if you can get ppl and it doesent pop,, something is wrong.PLEASE CHANGE IT
i’m not the only one,, if you havent read. My setup is full of WIN. Hold my word.
Yeah it’s wrong for people to join and leave but the fact of the matter is that no one wants to play in a server with 4 people when they can very easily play in one with 16. Your rotation doesn’t solve this problem. Like I said in the other thread, you can have a 24/7 of the best map ever made and it still won’t populate the server all by itself.
Just an FYI, if he tries your rotation and for whatever reason it fails, you probably won’t be listened to again when it comes to server suggestions. Nothing personal, just a heads up. That sort of promise can backfire in a jack flash.
Once AIM is on your computer, you can’t get rid of it. It’s like herpies for Windoes. Just because the registry cleaner “removes” it doesn’t mean it’s completely gone. It may not be visible to the user but there’s parts of AOL in all sorts of hidden cubbies of the registry.
FF3 is “out of beta” but from the complaints I’ve been seeing it should have had a 10th or so beta before being released. I’m sure it won’t get anywhere near the bad rap Vista got for being undertested.
Get the 9800GTX, it’s worth the extra $50.
magical penguen said:
lets do it. What is it going to hurt? The way it is set up it stays empty.
Unless you and a group of friends are willing to sit on it that won’t change. You can put the best map ever made on it and it still won’t populate itself.
What servers are being modded? To my knowledge, the only work being done on the existing servers is maintenance related.
I’m not sure the whole instant respawn thing is the direction Nickname wants to go. If you want a HL2 based deathmatch then by all means I’ll be happy to provide but TF2 wasn’t designed for that. It may be what’s hip now but in a month or so it’ll fade, just like it always does.
I can name about a dozen servers just off my history list that have rotations and are full literally 24/7. There are some you have to fight to get on at 3am EST. It all depends on the rotation used.
Also keep in mind that we haven’t made a *real* effort to get it populated. Once school starts back up I imagine we can get a half dozen people in there within a 30 minute window almost any night of the week to start a pop but until then idk if it’s something that can realistically be done.
If it doesn’t show up in BIOS and you KNOW it used to then double check the cabling. If everything is connected fine, try it in another computer. If it doesn’t show there either then odds are the drive is dead.
