atmuh Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I would have guessed Medic was the fast track to points, not Engineer. medic gets you barely any points 1 point for uber 0 points for any amount of healing 4 points per assist but you dont get the high amounts you get for kills but if you want me to show you the ridiculous amount of points you get as an engineer i can show you that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necro Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 medic gets you barely any points1 point for uber 0 points for any amount of healing 4 points per assist but you dont get the high amounts you get for kills but if you want me to show you the ridiculous amount of points you get as an engineer i can show you that I thought it was 3 per assist. Anyways, the easiest way to increase your Hlstats score is to play Heavy in maps that have dense populations and close goals. Heavy kills the most people which tends to be the quickest way to adding points since you get bonuses for more kills. Add to the fact that Heavies must be near the objective to be useful means a Heavy will be on the cart, gaining points. Hlstats is not perfect in its scoring. Unfortunately Medics, the class that matters the most, does not perform well under Hlstats. I wouldn't worry about the scores or stats. They are poor indicators at best.

Vahn_Paktu Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Easiest way to get first place. Play more. The reason he has so many points. 1. He's not bad at the game 2. He has over 25 days played Rewarding time played is the biggest flaw of hlstats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I still agree Engineer nets you the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I don't need stats to tell me that I am bad at this game. It took me awhile to get my settings right so i had a decent framerate; apparently going fullscreen on a mac is a huge dip in resources. Windowed mode was way smoother.

Right click TF2 in Steam -> Settings -> Launch Options, "-window -noborder -width xxx -height yyy" where xxx and yyy are your horizontal and vertical resolution. Just as good as fullscreen with none of the issues that arise from alt-tabbing around, or whatever the Mac equivalent is. Although from the look of it you already did this.

That's amusing to me, only because Windows is usually the other way around: Full Screen is faster than windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 yeah, 1024x768 fullscreen was like 6 FPS. 1920x1080 windowed mode? 58 FPS. Anyways, it was pretty fun playing and seeing some familiar names last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 There was a stealth update to TF2 today, caused by CS:S being updated to use the Orange Box engine (Jason Ruymen from Valve confirmed this on the hlds_linux mailing list). The update may not actually change anything in TF2, but just in case I've updated the servers and restarted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Steam forums: Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server. Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server. Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 From the Steam forums: Those patch notes are for CSS. Those vars were NOT added to the tf2 server. Updating 'OB Linux Dedicated Server' from version 43 to version 4411.71% downloading ./orangebox/bin/dedicated.so 72.46% downloading ./orangebox/bin/engine.so 99.89% downloading ./orangebox/bin/materialsystem.so 100.00% downloading ./orangebox/hl2/resource/gameevents.res HLDS installation up to date Probably just minor fixes brought forward from the cs:s tree.

I have better evidence than that: sv_disablefreezecam Unknown command "sv_disablefreezecam" sv_nonemesis Unknown command "sv_nonemesis" sv_nomvp Unknown command "sv_nomvp" sv_nostats Unknown command "sv_nostats" sv_password "sv_password" = "" notify - Server password for entry into multiplayer games The last is included to show that cvars that exist show a different message. notify is there because players are informed when sv_password changes, but not what it is changed to.

XeroZohar Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 You know, I thought I'd like the new always-vote system, but when I came on the other day (and this was for five maps total), we ended up playing Badlands 3 times. It was a bit painful. Eh, I'll get used to it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I've modified the map cycle to remove duplicate maps. Hopefully this will fix some of the problems with certain maps appearing more often than others, etc... Current map cycle: koth_viaduct cp_fastlane pl_goldrush cp_freight_final1 ctf_doublecross cp_gravelpit plr_pipeline cp_badlands cp_egypt_final pl_badwater cp_coldfront_rc3 cp_granary koth_nucleus cp_dustbowl ctf_turbine pl_frontier cp_gorge cp_steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I tried using mapvote_extended, but the developer seems to be busy, and it causes the server to crash on vote ties. So back to the stock plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Random question: Is there a reason the map cycle always starts with Viaduct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 it used to because viaduct was our starting map. habit afterwards I think. But we're not really using a mapcycle anymore so it's moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not using the mapcycle implies continued use of the nextmap vote. Um... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
