Rambo Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 toy_fort_elite on first page is not found. Ummm once I've downloaded the zips and unzipped them, where can I find the folder to stash them? Whoops, fixed. ....no it's not... lol
Bahamut Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 toy_fort_elite on first page is not found.Ummm once I've downloaded the zips and unzipped them, where can I find the folder to stash them? ....no it's not... lol I meant fixed in the mapcycle file . cp_toy_fort_elite isn't on the first page - you'll have to find a server playing it to download it As for the folder, it'll be ~/Steam/SteamApps/[steamIDloginfolder]/Team Fortress 2/tf/maps, where the ~ indicates wherever you installed Steam to, typically C:/Program Files or C:/Program Files (x86). Edit: Whoops, toy_fort_elite is on the first page.
Bahamut Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 So, thoughts on the new maps we tried today? Which map is preferable btw, cp_pacman_wtf_normal or cp_pacman_wtf_party? Also, there weren't enough people on for an OCR night it seemed, so I took down the password for the night earlier. Is there enough interest for an OCR night, and what day would be good if there was enough interest?
Sensai Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I prefer pacman normal. Party makes it too obvious when the ghosts are coming and the annoying is either hilarious...for about 30 seconds or awful the entire time. That being said, they're both a ton of fun. I _really_ like Swift. That and the one with the tug-of-war style cart...they're a lot of fun.
Rambo Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I _really_ like Swift. Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of that map, but the two rounds I played as spy were a lot of freakin fun.
D-Lux Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 My computer bit the dust. Future abilities to play TF2 are in limbo.

Is there enough interest for an OCR night, and what day would be good if there was enough interest? im usually good on tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursday nites. most other times ill be found playing midday after work (around 3pm mountain time). i look forward to burninating more folk with my leet pyro skills. also, add aqua to the rotations. very fun map.
Secret Agent Man Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I'm typically available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings (basically, after work). I get to be early / am busy on the other nights. This will change, however, in a few weeks when the semester ends.

DarkeSword Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I enjoyed that Alpine-styled payload map we played last night. I forget the name.

Bahamut Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 When you say Alpine payload, the only maps that come to mind are pl_cashworks and pl_swift. I think it was swift.
bonzai! Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 i'm bummed to be missing out on all the customs maps! my computer committed suicide once again, so no TF2 for a while. miss you guys!
Sensai Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 @ bonzai!: Pretty much every single day, we'll have at least one person ask Rambo what happened to you. Then he responds in a hilarious way.
Bahamut Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 So I'm thinking that ditching an OCR only night and just maintaining a custom night or two a week, or maybe having one custom night and one special rotation night, is the way to go. Thoughts? Also I've come to the decision to make reserved slots free for anyone who's a regular and requests one from me. Donations are optional, but it'd be great if people want to make them to me - the server costs ~$25/month to run, hlstatsx included...which reminds me of something else, there was a little interest in having the stats reset again at some point soon. What are the thoughts on that? And so, Wednesday seems like a great day for custom night at the very least. Here's my proposed rotation for the day: cp_piratelife_b3 ctf_2fort_night2_b2 pl_swift_final cp_roundhouse_1_2d ctf_highlands_b2 Arena_Greek_v1 pl_waste_b4 cp_pacman_wtf_normal cp_resonance_b8 ctf_staging_A11 arena_dailydozen_a2 pl_jungle_a1c cp_smbcastle2 cp_generator_b2 dm_quake_castle_b2 pl_terran_b1 cp_rivers_edge_b5 tc_meridian_b5 cp_devilsbrew_final pl_woodland_b4 cp_yukon_rc pl_cashworks_b3a cp_aqua pl_zig_b8 cp_ironbowl_b8 arena_storm_b1c cp_blackmesa Also remember to download the maps ahead of time if possible - it will save you downloading headaches when the map switches, and it will help other people out who haven't downloaded them.
Zephyr Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Reserved slots free eh? Interesting, I might still donate every once in a while just to pay my dues, you shouldn't have to pay for our fun on your own. But this month I'll be sending my donation plus some extra to support OCR in the spirit of this being support OCR month. All the rest of you should do the same. Also, Wednesday is great for custom night for me. I should most likely be able to make it most weeks, although I've been scarcely on TF2 lately as some of you may have noticed. As for the Stats recent, while I'm mostly indifferent, I think that resetting them once in a while is a good idea, it encourages more competition (although hopefully not cheating/farming) and most people want to see a more accurate and recent k:d ratio for themselves.
Bahamut Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Well, it's not like I get 0 fun out of this all myself . I figured that how I handle reserved slots is pretty loose as it is, so I might as well make this standard and encourage more regulars who know who they're gaming with. Donations of course are still welcome!
Powerlord Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 So I'm thinking that ditching an OCR only night and just maintaining a custom night or two a week, or maybe having one custom night and one special rotation night, is the way to go. Thoughts? OCR only night doesn't seem to work too well. I thought about suggesting a night where you add reserved slots for the OCR regulars, but... Also I've come to the decision to make reserved slots free for anyone who's a regular and requests one from me.

What are the thoughts on that? I'll update the advertisements to stop bugging people about reserved slots, then. Stats reset isn't a bad idea. Right now, it's tilted against new players simply because of how often some of us play. And so, Wednesday seems like a great day for custom night at the very least. Here's my proposed rotation for the day:Also remember to download the maps ahead of time if possible - it will save you downloading headaches when the map switches, and it will help other people out who haven't downloaded them. As a side note, you can download maps either individually or as a complete set here. (Well, OK, I don't have that page showing the 7zip files yet...)
Sensai Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Game ChangesReworked the character loadout screens to support future features Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing Fixes Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server The most interesting part is that part about the backpack and the ability to delete items permanently. Makes me think there are going to be some non-class-specific items. Grenades come to mind.
Zephyr Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Delete them and can never be re-earned? Is Valve thinking at all?
Bleck Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable they totally didn't fix this by the way also the delete items thing is probably valve's way of saying 'hey we can delete your items forever so don't try achievement hacking anymore thanks'
Sensai Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 @ Bahamut: The problem with resetting the stats is that this 'problem' continues to arise. People who play a lot will always rise to the top. The reason I write 'problem' is because I'm not sure it's that a big of a deal. The people who pay attention to it all are likely the ones who play a bunch and the people who play just for fun don't likely care very much about it. I think what most people are interested in is how many times X person kills Y person with Z weapon, and what X person's kill to death ratio is. And by most people...I mean me mostly. I seem to recall other people saying/thinking along these lines but I cannot remember who nor can I dig up any previous posts to augment this line of thinking.
duckyboycantfly Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I was surprised I still had a reserved slot for so long. Also, I am a broke college student without a job, so until this summer (when maybe I will get a job), I can't really be handing out money like I used to.
