42 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 okay the lag is getting worse and worseI was going to send out money for a reserve slot but I'm going to hold onto that if the servers are going to be borderline unplayable hmm... I was just on, and there was only a few lag spikes occasionally. It wasn't bad.
Super-Duper Sombrero Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Does anyone have want of a Prancer's Pride or a Handyman's Handle? Both are hats for the pyro, and I can't really use them.
Powerlord Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 okay the lag is getting worse and worseI was going to send out money for a reserve slot but I'm going to hold onto that if the servers are going to be borderline unplayable I bug FireSlash about this approximately every other day, but it hasn't helped. He's said he was looking into moving the server to a new host, but nothing's come of it.
FireSlash Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Problem is: tf2 servers are fucking expensive. Dedicated servers are MORE expensive now than they were when we signed up due to cloud stuff catching on. and tf2stats still needs a home Also my wallet.

Powerlord Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Required updates for Team Fortress 2 are now available. The specific changes include:Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM) - Added FCVAR_NOT_CONNECTED back to the ConVar fps_max to prevent client cheats - Fixed a bug with playback of SourceTV demos Team Fortress 2 - Fixed a bug where Medics using the Quick-Fix could easily identify disguised Spies - Fixed a bug where healing a Scout while they change class in the spawn room would allow the Medic to keep the Scout speed - Fixed a bug with honorbound weapons allowing themselves to be holstered before getting a kill - Improved matchmaking logic ---- Fixed a case where players were being matched to full servers - Updated the localization files - Updated Pl_Barnblitz ---- Reduced Blue respawn time at cap 1 ---- Fixed cart not allowing overtime when it has to stop at the turn table ---- Fixed players getting stuck in spawn doors when blue captures a point ---- Fixed spawn doors staying open when points are captured ---- Various clipping and exploit fixes Patching now.
ParanoidDrone Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 It amuses me how "Updated the localization files" appears so often in TF2 updates.
Powerlord Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Servers have been restarted and are now back online.

Super-Duper Sombrero Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 What sort of expensive are we talking about? I wouldn't mind pitching in like ten bucks or so, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The problem is that these are recurring fees. The reserved slot fees were introduced to help cover this, but it's not really enough.
ParanoidDrone Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I was looking at Kagami's directory to find a demo from Lakeside last night where Frogg got me with a tauntkill, but the latest demo is from May 13. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Kagami at all lately, and May 13 is shortly after the Replay update went live. That would make sense.

That would make sense. Running both replays and SourceTV is known to cause disk I/O issues. If you thought the server lag was bad now...
Powerlord Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I've modified the Name Change Punisher plugin to use SourceBans if it's present. This means anyone banned for it will now show up in the SourceBans web panel.

That would make sense. I have that replay saved, actually. Perspective is limited as it was a very short life, but I can send you the demo and/or replay files if you want. EDIT: Unrelated, but amusing:
ParanoidDrone Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 A replay would be fabulous, although I have no idea what directory it would go in once I get it. Also is that trollface for every Spy mask or just Pyro?
Super-Duper Sombrero Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 That one's just for the pyro, I've got a full set of nine. Hastily made and poorly cropped, but it's small and unobtrusive, and I still smile when I see them.
ParanoidDrone Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I just noticed that you're already dead in the screenshot, so perhaps the demo would be better than the replay if I can figure out how to play them in third person. Edit:

FireSlash Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Xfactor is working with me on some very acceptable arrangements. will report back when I have something confirmed.
ParanoidDrone Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Awesome. In unrelated news, new blog post. Behind the scenes of Meet the Medic.
Powerlord Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 There was a bug in the Name Change Punisher plugin not actually punishing people. Should be fixed now.
