Chili Con Carnage Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Turn crits on. I've only played a few times in the apst couple weeks due to shitty internet and I noticed immediately. I actually enjoy the random element they add, so stop whining and deal with it. Also, I may absolutely despise how nocrits screw up knife animations. On an unrelated note, margaritas made from a recipe taught by a sweet old Mexican lady KICK ASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, you did. I knew you did, because you kept voting to turn them back on. However... did Bleck or Brushfire?(As an FYI). I haven't played on Blu in a while. So no. Most nights it seems Red was the place to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleck Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 However... did Bleck or Brushfire? I didn't since I mostly play on RED which I guess is the cool place to be since it isn't full of super pro no crits waffle shots scout only final destination players someone change topic to tf2 whine about crits central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The last page of the comic seems to imply that Meet the Medic will be released at the same time the Saxxy Awards are announced. Needless to say I am excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Barring any crash problems ('cause SourceMod is SO stable following updates), the servers are both back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Also, the default keybind to record a replay is F6. FYI. EDIT: They also need to be enabled serverside, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 EDIT: They also need to be enabled serverside, apparently. I'm not sure what's going on with it saying the server has disabled replays, as I haven't even checked which cvars replays use, let alone disabled them.

Whatever cvars they use, I'd be willing to bet they're disabled by default. Because that makes sense. (Not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Replays should now be enabled on RED, and will be enabled on BLU following a map change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 RED was rubber-banding all over the place every ten seconds or so after the replays kicked in, so it seems like there's some significant overhead going on. Depending on if it continues, it might be worth rethinking enabling them. And huh, the new promo hats were added to crafting/dropping too. So much for rushing to buy Plants vs. Zombies. Though given the number of hours I've already put into it, it was a great investment regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Edit: My bad, it's only melee crits that do triple damage. Normal crits do double. Actually, you are correct. All crits do triple damage with no fall off based on their base damage. This means that the crit damage is figured from doing damage at mid distance. Crit damage does not include damage ramp up which adds about 50% to the base damage. Example: Shotgun pellet does 6 damage at mid range and crits at 18 per pellet. Damage ramp up at point blank brings each pellet up to 9. Most weapons barring a few follow this rule. Interesting... cp_dustbowl config turns crits on. Will fix shortly and continue checking. pl_goldrush had the same problem. Also fixed. I thought that was a tongue in cheek joke that you left in. It was pretty funny. So the patch notes about rewarding players that craft new hats means this: If you craft a new hat it receives a number. It has yet to be determined how far up the numbers go but it seems to only apply to newly released hats. This should make metal very valuable very quickly.

Powerlord Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I may try disabling SourceTV and enabling replays tonight to see if disabling one gets rid of the lag spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyobi Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You know one of those days where you just pop into a server and this guy sees your hat and relentlessly offers you to trade it? Yeah, one of those days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Powerlord, does the server run on Linux? Apparently there's a Linux-exclusive bug where the replay uploading happens on the main thread. Other people have reported similar issues with enabling replays and immediately experiencing horrible lag, so this may be the cause. There is a bug in the FTP offloading code for Linux servers. We are looking into it. The uploading is supposed to take place on separate threads, but for some reason is happening on the main thread, on Linux only. On Windows we don't see this issue w/ FTP offloading.Until we have a fix, you can try running a local HTTP server instead, assuming you are able to install a Web server on the same machine as your game server.

We're using local hosting mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Replays were still causing some lag spikes, so they're disabled again. Whoops, SourceTV wasn't immediately enabled, though. Should be fixed now that the autorecorder plugin is back on, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroZohar Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 So, uh, yeah, I heard that Fireslash isn't running the server and/or it's not being run by a server company, but rather out of someone's house (again). Do I need to cancel my awesome reserved slot donations? Or, if a certain person be trollin', that'd be good to know too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to cancel my awesome reserved slot donations? Should I even justify this with a response? Fine, I will, but just to put this rumor to rest. The server has the IPs 206.217.135.90 - 206.217.135.94. Looking these up on ARIN (who controls US IP address allocations) will show you that these IP Blocks are owned by XFactorServers.

XeroZohar Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up! I only heard the rumor last night and just wanted clarification. No offense was intended.
