That looks like it would be fun for an event night.

So how is Foundry available on the server? Unless I totally misread your earlier post.
I think he means once the update drops, Foundry will be the top of the maplist and will be the first one the server loads because Valve hates powerlord.
My thought would be to set permissions on mapcycle.txt to stop it from being changed, so vavle can't write to it.

*shifty eyes*
You can trust it Paranoid. I downloaded it, and i turned out TV.
Here's a question - Tangentially related to OCR TF2, but does anyone on here know of anyone that has won a game from the wishlist giveaways the last couple of times they've done it? Friend of a friend, stuff like that? Has anyone seen where Valve posts the winners lists?

I don't suppose there's a particular reason my own version of the update was 4 gigs?
Playing with the SDK?

What you may want to do, is to emulate what Rambo used to do, and set up a time for people to come and do some semi serious scrimmages on a passworded server (to reduce visitation by pubs).
Set up actual teams, and play in stop watch mode on the various maps that are used for competition play. (steel, gravelpit and the like)
That way ,once you discover a tournement you want to play, you've got some people ready made to join up.
I'm sure a mod or two would be willing to give you a hand, if powerlord's got the tourney configs setup.

I won't be playing much this weekend either because I have a weekend SWTOR Beta invite that's only good through midnight CST tomorrow...
I'm also in on the SWTOR beta...... Plus what brush said.
if you want to play, you should hang out on OCR and see if you can seed it. Once the servers in the list you might at least get random pubbies, till the regulars can get on.

You are aware last year's event started on the 27th, 4 days before Halloween?
Granted, that *was* on a Wednesday, so the precedent could go either way.
so what do you think then? we start a pool, everybody toss a scrap in, closest to the date and time wins it all then?
-
So who wants to lay odds on what day the Halloween update drops?
Thursday is their traditional day, but that would put the release only 4 days before halloween.
Who's thinking when? Want to start a little pool to wager on when?

What happened TG?
I talked to Brush, filled him in.
Let's just let this one go. I've talked to the people involved, and things are copacetic. We don't need to rehash it here for a week or two getting people angrier.
There are merits to both sides of the arguments that caused the issue, and it could have been handled better, but it was over and done within 2 minutes.
First up - unless it comes from an admin - anything another player requests, is just that, a request. You can listen to them, ignore them, whatever. (except where this contradicts the micspamming rule)
2. The admins are going to talk about decreasing the time before the server auto specs and kicks people for AFK.
3 - Profit!
So, let's get ready for some fun Halloween killing.
-
Unboxed some S31 crates, got all but Strange Degreaser & an extra set of fists.
Anyone know if Frogg needs fists?
as of last night frogg was seeking fists
Nevermind, he has found them.
-
Also, Valve has said they plan on pushing a TF2 client update out to fix the crashing problems.
Update has dropped

It was definitely weird stuff. Pretty much the same sort of crazy stuttering/jumping you get when your own connect is on the fritz, only this was server-side and affected everyone at once. I wish that many people hadn't bailed so quickly, considering how soon it ended, since the server kind of died afterwards.
yeah, once Kami left the server emptied. Once Chili left the lag went away......
-
That would require me to have $15 and a credit card.
I don't have the second one
I also don't have time.
Oh well, there's always christmas XD
Pretty sre steam takes paypal. all that takes is a bank account, i think......

Server's currently located in Scranton, PA, so I would hope you aren't having issues with it.
However, at least one east coast US regular is experiencing issues (and likely all west coast US/Canada users are).
I haven't noticed any large amounts of server lag that couldn't be explained by machine lag/issues. I think there are some issues with some dropped packets (things jumping, not being able to see certain projectiles, spys being completely invisible until they stab me, stuff like that.)
What sort of levels of server can we go up too?
-
I tried that, but something derped and whatever I actually got was unopenable. I'll try again later probably.
I had to try twice to get it to work.

If you are gonna leave forever, give me all your items!
Classy Brush.
Hoopy, in spite of what some people will say, the 'regulars' on OCR do present a slightly higher level of skill than you'll find on any other random pub server. The only way to get better at something is to practice, and to stop being so concerned with what you do. This isn't the Game Olympics, the fate of the country isn't based on how you do. It's just a bunch of friends getting together to kill each other. Take it easy.

I have internet again at my house.
Hail to the King Baby.
You're not the king, you're a doctor! of Horse hooves! you don't even have a P.HD in ass-kicking!

For those of you following my attempts at getting some new Engy items into the game... I've added a hat and pistol to the shotgun/trap idea to create the Gone Hunting item set. You can still find everything here if you want the rundown on all the changes that have occurred.
Still looking for someone to help texture, since I managed to get an awesome modeler to help with the, well, models. I think Bark mentioned III_Demon, but I don't have them on my Friends list to get their attention. And, of course, I'm always open to critiques and suggestions.
I spoke to III_demon today after his return from a family thing, and i don't think he's going to be available to help you. He said that he's not that great at testuring anyway.........

No, we're not removing randomlyKickPhill.sm
Can we try nerffrogg.sm?
-
Edit:
If the servers randomly crash, I'm sorry. There have been widespread reports of random server crashes on the hlds_linux mailing list. It's not related to any addons or mods, as it reportedly still occurs with replays and addons disabled.
blu did crash horribly well, minutes after you posted this. Fireslash got it restarted.
-
Yeah, the same guy had stuff like the rocket launcher and knife going for a Refined or two each.
If he's still got it, i'd do the rocket launcher for a refined or two.....

<confusion>
What do players who change their names to escape bans have to do with changing admin passwords on SourceBans?
</confusion>
to make certain we're up to date there, so that we can quickly enter bans from the web, as opposed to having to launch TF2......
(nope, bark didn't forget his password..... nope, not at all.......)
-
Thanks alot! I'll be sure to try a match or two when I get off from work today.
And no idea on putting in silly gibs? Or is that something relegated to servers?
As mentioned below - look up the launch options, and add -silly
You'll start getting the gears ........
-
That is the cvar tf_birthday! It will be on for my upcoming Birthday.
Actually Brush, i beleive this person wants the -silly launch option, as opposed to the well deserved birthday mode for your birthday.
OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

When the server was under Fireslash's despotic reign, the datacenter was Texas, and i didn't find it added much to the transit time( 'ping') for the server, since the major data pipe goes right from toronto down to Chicago and then on to texas.
