Bahamut Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Damn, they finally made it easier for pyros to fight off soldiers . At least the achievements aren't obscene this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Bahamut, how do the reserved slots work? When you add a reserved slot, do you increase the server's player limit to accommodate it, or do you take it out of the existing non-reserved slots?

Bahamut Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 How it works is that there's a list of players with reserved slots kept on the server. So when the server has 22 people, and someone not on that list tries to join, they automatically get kicked. I think also if the server is full with 24 people and someone with a reserved slot tries to join, it kicks someone out who doesn't have a reserved slot, but don't quote me on that.

Moseph Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So in other words, having a reserved slot doesn't keep other people from playing if you don't happen to be on at the moment? Cool. I'm interested in this because I'm considering joining the donor list, but since I'm not on every night, I'd hate to be keeping other people out even while I'm not playing.

Dhsu Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 From what Bahamut said, it seems that it does start to kick people at 22 players, but I guess that happens regardless of how many reserved slots there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yeah, it doesn't matter how many people are on - the two last slots are kept for reserved slot holders regardless. This is by popular decision here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremespleen Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yeah, it doesn't matter how many people are on - the two last slots are kept for reserved slot holders regardless. This is by popular decision here.So then when donors aren't playing, there are just two empty slots that lock everyone out?That's silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So then when donors aren't playing, there are just two empty slots that lock everyone out?That's silly. Again, it was by popular decision - before I had it setup so that the slots wouldn't be taken, but then it wouldn't kick people when someone with a reserved slot would join, so they all chose this method. Besides, I don't pay $36 per month for a charitable reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Ok I got a predicament. I got all the medic achievements but one. First Do No Harm. I have tried and tried this one, and sucking at it horribly. I know what the answer is gonna be, "it just happens" or "luck up". But anyway, any suggestions?

Go to a random pub server where it seems like the players aren't that great and stay back and heal everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChadlyOC Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd try cp_Warpath to try to get First Do No Harm. It's easy to stay out of harms way while you heal heavies and everyone else. I tried cp_fastlane for the first time today, and I completely hated it. I've never had so much hatred for a map before. I feel like the map is too unbalanced toward certain classes. Demos are great because there's tiny corridors everywhere but they can see around corners enough to sticky spam. There are no good hiding places for snipers or engies, except aiming at the exits of doorways. I thought I didn't like Badlands before, but this one is like badlands with less space. Any other impressions? I've played ctf_Turbine before, and it pretty much is a stalemate every time. I suppose that's kind of a weakness of all symmetrical maps though. It's pretty fun, especially for a Capture the Flag map. There aren't enough good ones of those for some reason (see ctf_well for more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, stick with people that are getting a lot of kills, get your uber out, help cap a couple points, and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 OMGWTFBBQ xDI love the compressed air trick! NO MORE ROCKETS BABY Tomorrow is the day that Bahamut and I will be cursing your name in the dead of night for at least until the Soldier patch comes out. ...Though to be fair, I'm going to laugh the first time a crit rocket gets bounced back at me. This tweak promises epic laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The irony is I joined a server running toy fort and somehow got the First Do No Harm while in 3rd place after being there 3 minutes. Awesome. Ubersaw time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 To install the TF2 fonts, go to your tf resource folder which is located around here-ish: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\*ACCOUNT NAME*\team fortress 2\tf\resource Right click the font files and hit install. Then download this and open it in photoshop: http://shariqansari.com/ocr-pyro-brigade.psd Put your name in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 So....crap. I wanted to make a server setting change (back to 50 minute rounds) but much to my dismay, the server has been full since 8 am, and has had people playing throughout the night.

Bahamut Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ok people, so around 9 pm EST, I'm going to restart the server and make the pw "ocremixtf2" so we can avoid the achievement whorers. It will be normal play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Think I'm gonna pass on the whoring this time around, since the achievements seem a lot more reasonable (not to mention fun ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
