Powerlord Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Our private Halloween Mann Manor server is now operating at private.ocrtf2.com:27015 / 206.217.135.94:27015 password: ocremix Admins can also change the map on that server to koth_harvest_event Edit: Map change bugged... fixed now.

Brycepops Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey Brush, I heard a rumor that items that you created by crafting together non-tradeable items have been losing their non-tradeable attribute after a few days... might want to check your store extras...I know some metal I created from them became tradeable, but I'm wondering if it applies to other items. My Headtaker lost its non-tradable tag O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Before I forget to mention, the Halloween Event has been moved to the Private server. I may change the event to earlier in the day... it's quite late for anyone from Europe. Speaking of which, has anyone figured out what's with the Thriller music that's happening on BLU and RED yet?

ParanoidDrone Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Speaking of which, has anyone figured out what's with the Thriller music that's happening on BLU and RED yet? I haven't heard any music, although that may have something to do with the fact that my TF2 is currently set to not download anything. On the Highlander front, the tiebreaker rounds are starting up soon and are scheduled to finish on Sunday, November 7. The bracket matches will start the next day, on Monday, November 8. Link. EDIT: I assume the password is "ocrscrim" still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroZohar Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I just want to echo the sentiment of the admins running a pair (trio?) of damn fine servers (except that one stretch where they kept dying, but nobody's perfect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Totally boughted Amnesia. It is a fantastic game. I loved it. They took all the good from Penumbra and made it better in Amnesia. Frictional has gotten the fear thing down pretty well. They also recently released the software development kit for the game. This means that we will soon be seeing custom stories on the Amnesia engine. I suggest playing through the game twice because you miss some things the first time around.

I didn't really like Penumbra. I tried the demo of Amnesia and didn't really convince me that I'd like Amnesia any more. On the other hand, the Overlord games are pretty fun, although they do start getting bogged down towards the middle and end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks to Paranoid for banning the offensive language-rifle dude earlier. I'm usually pretty easy-going but that was just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks to Paranoid for banning the offensive language-rifle dude earlier. I'm usually pretty easy-going but that was just ridiculous. I'm more proud of the reason for the ban I used. I try not to use the stock ones provided, if only because I can't resist being snarky. In unrelated news, Frogg has 99,663 points in HLStats. Second place, Scythe-Messiah, has 57,381. Hands up if you think this is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands up if you think this is silly. It is kinda silly. In other news, I moved RED over to the Halloween install (the private server is also using it). Having said that, it needs a restart to fix a few issues that remain such as MOTD being wrong and advertisements having non-working color codes in them. Edit: Restarted at around 10am... thanks annoying roommates for waking me up on one of the few days I can actually sleep in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Just to warn people, Steam's network appears to be having problems this afternoon, so don't be surprised if you have problems connecting to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 As many of you have likely figured out by now, the thing where the server played parts of Thriller (BLU, RED standard) or the entire Thriller song (RED Halloween, Private) were done using a server plugin. This plugin has been removed from BLU and standard RED. I wonder if I should mention what the trigger to play Thriller is... nah! If you haven't noticed by now, you never will.

ParanoidDrone Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I wonder if I should mention what the trigger to play Thriller is... nah! If you haven't noticed by now, you never will. Nevermind that the admins are able to do it surreptitiously. However, I've only actually heard it play once. Probably something on my end, but I'm not sure what. Also, I won't be on the server much until Thursday, when my Scheme project is due. Programmers may know what I'm talking about. Yay metacircular interpreters. Only not because they're evil and eat kittens for afternoon tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 An optional update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. The specific changes include: - Fixed a minor issue with the Horseless Headless Horsemann Updating RED and Private now and will restart then when done. I'll also update BLU in a moment, but it's not running Mann Manor 24/7 like the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 In a "surprise" move, preordering the Telltale game Poker Night at the Inventory, starring TF2's Heavy and 3 others, will net you a Poker Visor hat for Heavy in TF2. Playing the game can net you 5 more items: License to Main - A Misc slot badge The Enthusiast's Timepiece - A Spy Watch (likely replaces the Invisibility Watch) The Lugermorph - You've heard of this one already (Scout/Engineer Pistol replacement) The Iron Curtain - A Replacement Heavy Minigun Dangeresque, Too? - Sunglasses Misc item (or hat, but I'm betting Misc) for Demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
