10-12 maps is a perfect size rotation for a dieing server. when it pop’s we should then make it longer by adding in the “stupid maps”
i like it lockEm
thanks nickname for getting the mapcycle fixed.
now does anyone know how to fix the dustbowl time? i sure dont.
Heres aa tip when adding custom maps… during a bussy part of the day,, so mostly at like night, do a server advance search with say like cp_wolf or pl_dustbowl and see how may servers pop up with that map. are people playing it on other servers? quick simple dirty yet effective way to see if a map is good. tryed and tru

cp_dustbowl the start round time for the first cap is to long, as well as the round time between caps is way to long. what evers it is at, bump it down to at least half.also the map cycle, can it be set to CP_dustbowl, PL_goldrush, PL_dustbowl
k thanks

I am hoping that by letting them make a list we’ll get the same answer.2 stones one bird
I have also noticed the server not being as pop as it has been in the past. one point (~2years ago) in time we were ranked 10’th globally for about 2weeks. what we did to do that i have no idea.
I attached a screenshot of a graph showing how the server has been doing. Within the past 6months the average numbers of players have been droping month by month. Definitely something needs to be done b4 this number is droped anylower. Also our the server ranking over the past year has slowly been getting worst. not good. Just pointing out, as it may be dew to the summer.. its not dew to the summer, and something should change. What IDK, as i dont really play much 1.6 myself.
What redirects do we have up?
Also, as far as the map issue, its not hard to see their is no perfect rotation everyone is happy with. time and time again, over the past 4 years maps have alsways been an issue with running the servers. If the 1.6 community can colectively agree on a map cycle, yeah we will toss it up. but the simple fact is someone will alsways have a dfferent idea to tweek it and every week after tnew ideas keep comng… this has been taken place since the beginning of WCUgaming before CS:S was even out…. just tossing that out their.
also a big problem with tf2 is a pyro or demoman or preatty much any class can run to the other teams spwn and just camp their and not let them leave. Mainly on the levels which have only one exit route).
This is a plugin which will allow given seconds (i vote for like 3 seconds) to let people leave their spwn,, and if someone is their camping it, they cant just keep killing you over and over.

Speaking plugins: I came across this little gem and was discussing it with nickname. I think it would be cool. what do you all think?

If they want to play other maps, direct them to the other server.Very doable

It’s been proven that the regular server can populate just as quickly as the 24/7.but thanks for the comment, however this is a suggestion thread.
Liam said:
Absolutely. I see no reason to tack more plugins onto the 24/7 server and raise its overhead when the regular rotation server is running just fine, and has the ability to vote. Just my opinion, at least.uhhh… plugin’s? who/when/where said plugins?
agreed, if the rotation is fix their iwill be a less of a need for the map vote.
why not?
if the people wanna play this map over this map, i’d say give it to them. But i dont wont to just stright up change it. thus need a vote. Currently 3 maps, maybe more down the line. but i have wanned to use it twice now w/o the option. If its something hard to do dont worrie about it. but if its a simply check box. why not?
maybe a fun night down the line is called with a special rotation, who knows
awesome good luck. thats going to be a fun trip.
I had the chance to study abrod in australia, and regret i did not take up the offer.
My first out of country vacation will be in australia, thats the plans anywho.
good luck and have fun.
agreed, we can easly make more room. Like i said in my post. we can with out even trying double the consul section. if anyhting noise is the only issue.. but come on. its a lan party. come to have fun. When’s the last time you went into an arcade room and it was quite. the noise is manageable and i would rather see it same day same room,, untill we out grow the room. wwhich currently is far from the case, we dont even shadow 50% of the entire room with all tables/chairs set up.. Lets start looking into redesigning the layout.
“passive aggressive, you should look that up” yeah their’s one person in particular i know that alsways leaves neg comments that needs to look that up.
i came across the video yesterday,, good stuff indeed
- nickname pointed out that on cp_dustbowl the start round time for the first cap is to long, as well as the round time between caps is way to long. what evers it is at, bump it down to at least half.
- also the admin mod on this server will not let a vote map occur.
- also the map cycle, can it be set to CP_dustbowl, PL_goldrush, PL_dustbowl
- gxti, also committed that the DL was not fast at all, he does not think its linking. can someone double check and make sure everyhting is linked correctly to the fastDL server.
- Psycho Stats plz
ohh, i like the MP room idea.
The lan event that we had their gave the club alot of exposure. we had something like 200 people walk through the doors. think abrit still has the list of names.
anyhow, consuls only in the MP room would be iller than the Iliad
To make more space for consul. And this also adds more wall space for projectors… Its not hard at all to bump where the current power box sits for the PC area back more twards the center of the room. The cable will easly extend another 20feet.
We can make the UC fold up that collapsible stage, should not be any fees added.
By doing both of the above the Consul area just easly doubled. with no affect on the PC area.
Win/win thank me later… now sound is the only issue. MLG dont they use headsets? Ahh. Fixed. PC we use them. why cant consul?
Agreed.
you gotta just take the good with the bad.
The club needs to desides do we wont PC and Consul in the same room same day… take the noise, and deal with the cramped space. (we can do a different layout and make more room is space is the main issue) and we it done cheaper. Members will not half to pay for 2 different events. to cover the extra charge of adding another room.
Do we wont to have the PC and Consul on the same day and different rooms. Given that its going to cost more for another room, and deal with the fact their is no way ppl in both rooms are going to know whats going on in each room. (however, this currently happens somewhat,, its just going to get worse) however, more space for both the PC and consul people.
Do we wont to have them on 2 different days? cost should be the same as same day 2 rooms, people will be able to play the pc games they wish or the consul games they wish. however, the stress and organization for the executives is going to make this one day nightmare into two days.

It wasn’t 4chan. By the way, it’s on now.
😆 idk what was so wrong with it. but that teacher seems like a *edited*
well holiday weekend is coming up, as well as i’v been trying to tweek out the new tf2 server.
but yeah, we can do it soon… idk when, but one of these nights, maybe tonight, or next,, i dont wont to set a date and then not show up :/
i know its been awile
Nickname said:
Well we don’t really know. When that new TF2 server is full it uses a lot of CPU usage(up to almost 50%) but Source even full only uses like 10% and 1.6 about 8%, meaning we have around 30% to play with that could either go here or to the other TF2 server.Also we are looking at upgrading tron with 2 dual core chips which would solve the problem completely. And RAM usage is not even an issue, tron has 16GB ram and we don’t ever use more than 2GB of that lol.
hypothetically, if we upgrade,, we have ~30% free now (other than mapchanges) what will this % bump up to?
if we can add a few servers with only a $400 upgrade,, we should do it ASAP. maybe Keath will reinburs us, maybe not… But as we all know how long it takes to get things done through the school. Just look at how he keeped delayed kuros for nearly a year about the box. and he stayed on him nearly every week. I say by the time school starts back up, by the time we talk to him, buy the time he talks to the ITS ppl, by the time the funds clear with the school… I sespect its going to be 2ed semester if not summer 09′ tilll anyhting gets done. This upgrade is ~15% of our funds. I think its worth upgrading over the summer when we have free time to build and test servers. heck, its worth it just not to deal with the schools BS paperwork.

like the name it stands out..
I was trying to change the maps tonight to the custom ones just to run around in to give my thoughs on them but they did not show up in the admin list… maybe like 2 or 3 did. but no wear near to the list listed above.
yeah i also love the scout. powerful and quick and can out run/doge everyone/everything except kuros’s rockets
However pending map, pending offense/defense, and pending if my team is currently winning.. i really like all classes.
if i had to pick one i dont like to play is heavy. that fattie is just to slow.
