Xerol Oplan

It was fine after I restarted the game, but problems like that have been popping up more and more often.

Yeeeeeah. And I just reinstalled too.

You think that's bad?

I uploaded all those ages ago.

I think the files deleted themselves when I quit the game, because I couldn't find them and could connect fine the next time I tried (after restarting steam). He's also been sticky camping, I told him to stop once but wasn't sure if he did or not. Also

I never downloaded any custom anything, and it's only the OCR server complaining about it. So how do I fix it? Edit: I can't even find that path, there isn't a models folder under materials.

The server won't let me on:

Re: Gimmick maps - I was thinking (once I had some cash, and had Magfest money squared up) of getting a BACON server, mainly revolving around non-serious and gimmick play.

If I had the money/time/etc.

This and also maybe move a couple things around so we don't have two cp maps right after each other. Also I know this might be too much work but I'd really prefer several smaller rotations that get swapped out on different nights. Right now you have to wait almost 10 hours to play a map if you can't get people to vote.

Yeah, that's the disadvantage: every other client sees you as being a much larger target as well.

(Semi-long technical post incoming) The game attempts to compensate for high ping by taking ranges of movement rather than single points. For a class like sniper, this makes the collision detection area much larger, since the server doesn't know exactly when during that 167ms period you actually pulled the trigger. It assumes a range and if there was a head inside that range during that time, boom headshot. This is more problematic for classes like Pyro where, while sometimes it's nice to cover a large area, generally you're trying to hit something specific. So, if you're wildly flailing around (like I usually do) it sees the range I was firing at, divides up the damage amongst it, and for every second of playtime it only counts about a quarter second of burning. Throw on top of all of this that the program only calculates stuff on a framewise basis and you start to see the problems I was having before getting a new video card. Realistically in order for the game to process everything 'properly' you're going to need 60+ fps and a ping low enough for two roundtrips per frame, which comes out to 4ms. That's never going to happen in online play, so the engine is forced to make a compromise, and as a result some classes are better than others in high-ping low-framerate situations.

I went from a Radeon 9600 to a 9800. It's not that the 9800 is a great card or anything, just that the 9600 is a shitty one. I think it barely qualified for the minimum requirements, so playing even slightly above that is a huge improvement.

THIS NEW VIDEO CARD IS AMAZING

Working on this.

Bumping this because you'll need to get picks in for Thursday's game. Also, anyone interested in some small stakes sidebetting PM me.

Yeah sure okay.

I've got a semi-broken Yamaha PSR-275. It was only in the $150-200 range when I bought it but I'm pretty strapped for funds (as many of you know). The problems with it are all with the key board itself - one key has stopped working entirely and a couple certain key combinations will instead fire off an entirely different note. The non-working key I'm sure is just a physically broken switch, it presses funny and tries to jerk off to the side. I'd like to know if it's possible (and reasonable) to either repair the board or find another broken Yamaha (busted logic board or something) for cheap/free and swap the keys out. Does Yamaha use the same parts in different models (i.e. can I find another 61-key touch-sensitive non-weighted board and use that)?

My sugggestion earlier (which wasn't even responded to) was to have different nights for different things so the arena haters can get a night with little/no arena and we have a good variety of rotations. This included a night or two for custom maps and a free-for-all day.

What gets me is when someone with 100% uber and no other obvious healing targets nearby refuses to follow or uber me to make a push on offense.

The current rotation (without votes) would take more than 11 hours to go through, dustbowl comes up less than once per typical session.

What are the mods coded in?

I was speculating earlier in the week that it would heal a certain amount, but leave you unable to shoot or move for a period of thme.
