Could we get that switched to the old sound codec, too? Apparently my mic was inadvertently destroying some people's ears last night. Thanks so much for breaking that Valve.
Done. Honestly, I didn't do a lot of setup on this server.
Speaking of servers, I've updated SourceMod on BLU... and also installed MapChooser Extended 1.7 on it \o/ .
The new version of MapChooser Extended has a few changes, the most obvious of which that custom maps now have * in front of them rather than (Custom) after them. The other noticeable change is that the map order is now randomized before it's returned, meaning that nominations are not necessarily the first map on the list any more. And before you ask, this was a requested feature from a few months back.
One feature you and the rest of the world won't see is that this version has an optional dependency on my (still a work in progress) BuiltinVotes extension. Unfortunately, that extension needs to be updated for SourceMod 1.4 itself before real testing can begin.

I dont think all talk is on, unless its not supposed to be off.
Also people need to be on more lol
If you're referring to the Halloween server, you're right. Should be fixed now, though.

OCR TEST2 [test.ocrtf2.com:37215 / 69.65.43.229:37215] is operational again as a holiday server. I'm not sure if Reserved Slots are working, but I *think* they are.
blu.ocrtf2.com now has the address of the "new" BLU (formerly "TEST").
Edit: Meanwhile, I'm hard at work updating MapChooser Extended for SourceMod 1.4.
-
Can we get a passworded server for the event or does it have to be public?
We can password it, but if you want to do it just for the gifts, they have a minimum player count requirement... I want to say minimum 10 players, but I'm not sure.
-
I know; I'm asking us to MAKE one.
OK, let me rephrase this: I don't think we need an official policy on this. I have enough heavy-handed policies (cue GameMaster comments about koth_nucleus).
Besides which, the two holiday achievements are extremely easy to get.
On another subject, SourceMod 1.4 was released today (well, yesterday now). I may test it out on some of our servers soon.
Edit: Also, Valve broke a few of my own plugins. Force Halloween, for example. This one is broken because Valve changed how Holidays are returned so that multiple holidays can happen at the same time.
-
Can we get some kind of official ruling that killing people on Loot Island and/or while fighting the boss is not cool on the event server? It's really irritating when people keep fucking with you while you're trying to actually do the Halloween event stuff. If you don't want to do the event stuff, then you can go play regular Viaduct somewhere else.
I don't think we have an official policy on this.
On a side note:
An optional update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. The specific changes include:- Fixed the randommap command not working when used on the command line
- Fixed a client crash that could occur while loading the map if MONOCULUS! is killed or stunned
- Added more verbose console output to help debug registration problems.
RED will probably be updated the next time it's empty. BLU (new) will be updated shortly. I have no idea about TEST2...
-
BLU has now been moved to what was TEST. RED is now back open for the Halloween event (even if it is laggy for some people).
I got the payment situation sorted out with TEST (now BLU). Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten replays working on it.
-
There hours can be weird because their core support group is out of Europe somewhere. Even with that they are usually pretty good at getting back within a reasonable time frame. At the moment though, I can't even get onto the server, just sits at "Sending client info..."
I've edited the server addons and actually went as far as to remove SourceMod from it. Same problem.
I've filed a ticket and will reopen RED shortly. Seriously, I can't even try to force a game update on TEST2's host. At least I can do that on TEST.
-
ಠ_ಠ See, I made the assumption that their servers are consistent in the ways you can access them, ie. either the garbage that is clanforge or via console and ftp. As it turns out that's not true, mostly because they are to lazy to setup ftp access on the windows machines most of their game servers are running on.
As it stands, they only allow ClanForge for TF2.
However, I can't directly install the Reserved Slots plugin and its extension that we normally use. I've submitted it to them through the Upload part of the control panel, but I haven't heard whether they've approved or denied my request yet.
-
Fun fact: You should always try potential servers admin control panels before you subscribe to them.
Whomever early suggested trying MultiPlay, this is more or less for you.
Case in point: OCReMix TEST2 at 69.65.43.229:37215, a server I spun up this morning that I have already canceled because it is painfully hard to do certain things there, such as install SourceMod Plugins.
The reason this is coming about is being TEST is going to expire on Saturday, and PayPal is currently rejecting payments to them.
As long as I have this server anyway, it's going to be converted into a holiday event server.
-
For the record, SourceMod (and reserved slots) should be operational on all servers again, following a SourceMod game data update I had to manually perform earlier.
-
"Let's play some TF2!"
*OCRTF2 BLU 24/24
*OCRTF2 RED 24/24
*OCRTF2 TEST 24/24
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
This is why reserved slots exist (the command is "connect <server ip>" (or blu.ocrtf2.com / red.ocrtf2.com for those two servers)
-
OCR RED is now operational with all extensions and plugins. I'll be applying the fix to BLU and TEST shortly.
However, I don't think TEST is working at all right now.
-
Couldn't we use the IP?
Yes, but it's annoying to do it that way.
-
Crap...more presents to farm. And I still don't have all of the masks from last year that I was trying to chase down. Guess I know what I'm doing for the next couple of weeks.
I'm doing some testing to see if I can get RED up with reduced plugins for a 24/7 event.
-
Can someone doublecheck to see if I have a reserve slot on the server? I thought I got added a while ago, but the past couple days I've had to wait to get on to the server, and I don't think all those names belong to regulars...
Disabling SourceMod means Reserve Slots aren't working.
Also, you have to use the connect command to connect to a full server with our current reserve slots. Sadly, TEST doesn't have a domain name.

BLU is crashing on map change to koth_viaduct_event. Disabling SourceMod.
Edit: Disabling SourceMod fixed the problem.

Random gifts containing costume pieces drop in Eyeaduct on registered servers

I posted that 10 minutes ago. What's more, BLU is already updated and restarted. Must have beat the rush because Event (RED) and TEST are slow updating.

Have fun! Servers will all start updating shortly.
BLU has finished updating and should be restarting now.

Oh, I knew I forgot to post the comic link somewhere.
-
euuggh come on update, get out already!
I'm kind of glad they didn't release it quite yet, because I wasn't around to update TEST.
Anyway, if you have all the OCR servers in your servers list, you may have noticed that BLU is now open while RED is locked. This was due to me not wanting to have to kick people from RED when I switch it over to the event server later tonight.
-
I haven't gotten around to testing my voting extension again since last week. I need to stop playing TF2 and actually test it.
Of course, knowing my luck, the Halloween update will break it.
On an off topic, 9 of you on my friends list have Back to the Future on your Steam wishlist, it's on sale on Steam for $10 through 10am PDT tomorrow.
-
This might be old news but the Night of the Living Update happened:
I do hope a lot of this makes it into the game.
That's all fan-made stuff. We won't know what Valve adds to their update until tonight or tomorrow.
Side note: I won't be on until 7:30pm EDT tomorrow. If Valve updates before then, TEST will be out of date, but RED should auto-update.
-
I've been unable to play ever since the crashing started.
I've been told that people who are still having crashing problems should try the Steam Beta update.
OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

Costume pieces are also available during the Full Moon, and I just so happen to have written a SourceMod plugin that allows me to turn Full Moon mode on all the time.
