Hemophiliac Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 the best thing you could do for maps would be to keep them smaller, this is a 24 man server. my suggestions 100% dustbowl and goldrush things like well should not be used it's too big, and...i can't remember if it's granary or gravelpit. no need to listen.

Bahamut Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Alright, I think I figured out most of the things I need to figure out, so if there's settings tweaks wanted, please list them here before tomorrow night, which is when the server should be open to the public with everything desired.

OverCoat Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 100% dustbowl and goldrush For the record, fuck servers that only run 1 map. I'm looking at you, 24/7 Dust:tomatoface: Having only 2 is almost as bad :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 if you read my post as saying i only wanted two maps you are mistaken, i am sorry if the wording was confusing and made you think that's what i wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well, I don't want to put too many maps, so we're gonna need an agreed list of maps (and type the map names as usually found online for me so I can put them into the maplist text file). The server is pretty much ready to go, but I'd like to alter the intro screen. I think I can implement a radio station feature as well, and maybe link it to Ormgas? This is much more time consuming than I originally envisioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Here's a tip, although it may be hard to find a good server since you're in Australia - there's a map called achievement_box3 or something like that, a lot of people go there to do their achievements. It's optimal when it's organized well, and it may require a little patience, but it's by far the best way to get a lot of these achievements done. Cheers Bahamut, I'll look it up.

OverCoat Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Is the server up yet, at least? I'll play on it later. No need to worry about any fancy stuff now, let's wait until it gets active, eh? I hope we won't need a radio, I usually play music for myself in the background anyway :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 1 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If I can get in with decent ping, I'll gladly contribute sums toward it. It seems the costs are quite low compared to what I was expecting, so I'd gladly contribute $20+ a month, depending on how good the server is (from my end; foreign servers sometimes have pretty bad ping ) I'll have a look at it at some stage, steamID is OneThousandWorlds. I agree that the medic achievements are kinda lame. I just got milestone 1; a weekend wasted. Anyone else expecting more from the first weapon?

zircon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 My vote is Dustbowl, Granary, Well, and 2Fort, at least. These are all well-designed, fun maps (IMO). Plus, it varies up the gametypes. I haven't tried Goldrush yet unfortunately but if that is fun, we should add that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 i like goldrush, although like all the maps i have little experience on it. i just pulled out tf2 in anticipation of playing with you guys, and realized just how much i've dropped in ability in the last while.

SirChadlyOC Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I would recommend NOT 2Fort. I used to like it, but I played it so much in TFC that I'm totally sick of it. I think a lot of other players hate it too, while not many players hate Gravel Pit or Dustbowl, which are solid map choices for a server. My favorite map is actually Warpath, but that's a pretty wild request for a new server. Instead, I would recommend Gold Rush as a newer map to use. I'm really looking forward to playing all the time in the OCR server. P.S. my steam ID is SirChadlyOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Hajile Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Theres a server up? If so, I'll gladly KABLOOIE a few of you every once in a while. It'll give me a reason to use the fucking gaming computer I built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 So here's what I have cycling atm: cp_dustbowl cp_granary pl_goldrush ctf_2fort In that order, based on the thread so far. Dustbowl is a must, and I haven't played Goldrush really yet, so I'm not familiar with that, but I haven't heard of people hating on it, so it can't be bad. If there's no other real complaints/comments, I'll turn the server into a public one sometime in the early afternoon. For those who were wondering, it's already up, and I posted the pw a little earlier, although soon enough you won't need a pw. Edit: Actually, if there's any setting I need/want to change, I don't need to interrupt the game for it - server is going public momentarily.

zircon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 I almost forgot about gravelpit. That's a great map that I'd love to see - fun gametype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Needs moar custom maps. Crossunder is decent, if a little small for a full-sized (32 player) server, Mach is fun but is a little easy to dominate (i.e. if you're fast enough with Engineer defenses and Scout rushes you can win pretty fast), and I'll add more as I think of them.

Unstable Hamster Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Sweet, I'll definatly be on the OCR server as much as possible, and I'll try to get a few of my friends to play on the server as well. Oh, and I'm not a fan of most custom maps. I'm fine with any official map. Man I need to add you guys to my friends list so I can get the uber 10 friends achievement.

zircon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 My vote is no custom maps yet. There are enough good official maps. Hell, I play Dustbowl only 95% of the time and even that hasn't gotten old for me. Six solid maps are more than enough for me, and we can add more later as time goes on.

Bahamut Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah, I'm going to chime in and say no custom maps as well. There is the additional fact that Valve has separated the custom settings servers, so that it would be harder to attract people if we ran custom maps - which reminds me, we need to get a whole group of us on at once to play fairly frequently so that we can build the server into a place people will visit often.

Triad Orion Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah, I'm not up for custom maps either. Valve maps tend to be finely tuned and balanced for the best gameplay experience anyway, so I'm good with just the defaults. Also, we should totally do some fragging on the server tonight. I'd be completely up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We should set certain days & times for tf2. Thoughts on the choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triad Orion Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm flexible. I'm really up for any day except Saturday nights to do TF2, so if you guys name a day and a time I'll try to be there. I know it's not helpful, but... let's get a feel for what works for other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Guess you guys won't be seeing too much of me, then. I'm bored of just about every map Valve has except Goldrush (which I haven't played yet). I recommend at least trying out some of the custom maps before you make a call on them - Crossunder is well-balanced fine, as are several others. What does it matter how easily people find the OCR server? Won't 99% of people be coming from here anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Doubtful - while a lot of people from OCR play TF2, on average our games only end up with 4-8 people from OCR at any given time. This server will encourage more people, but if we want to fill up capacity, we need some pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
