Dark Chocobo Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 If I had to guess, Paranoid, your computer might be overheating. You may recall I've had that problem a few times where my lapop gets too hot and then simply shuts down with no warning. Could be that something's screwed up there. See if it shuts down with any other programs - mine's done it with TF 2, L4D2, Titan Quest, and twice when a friend was playing World of Warcraft.

RussellChamp Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 So what was up with Atmuh complaining about the music last night? Any time someone would start something, he'd immediately request it turned off. If you don't like someone's music, add them to your personal mute list. Or is this just more trolling?

Vivi22 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I thought atmuh didn't even play with voice on to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellChamp Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I thought atmuh didn't even play with voice on to begin with. Text request of "Stop this music now" (or something to that effect) occurred every time music started while the rest of the server (with a one time-exception of one other person) found the music to be quite relaxing.

atmuh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 its really annoying when out of nowhere with people talking someone decides itd be a GREAT IDEA to start playing some music out of nowhere id much rather if the person playing the music would just stop than me having to individually mute them as i have "turn the music off" bound to a key (since according to the RULES youre supposed to turn it off if someone asks you to) as opposed to having to stop what im doing and press esc to mute them in which case ill probably die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 If you don't like someone's music, add them to your personal mute list. I am almost positive that the server rule is that if someone asks you to stop, you stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am almost positive that the server rule is that if someone asks you to stop, you stop That is the rule. Atmuh is within his rights to ask you to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellChamp Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hey, don't know if anyone's seen this yet but... "Team Portress" is a mashup of TF2 and Portal. Demo video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdHE_NBmLwU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimk Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Music is turned off by request, always has been. If one person doesn't like it you're to turn it off. Unfortunately as far as I've seen you'll just ignore me if I say anything about it. Personally I think we *really* need to go back to music during setup only. Sorry but no I'm not interested in hearing Wily Stage 1 or FF7 when I'm trying to hear what's going on around me. I've seen Darkesword try to go back to setup only a couple times but it's not going to happen unless all the admins bother with it. And as much as any of you hate to see someone agree with atmuh it's gotten to the point that a "voice_enable 0" keybind is actually useful in a day to day basis for me. There's something wrong there, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenogu Labz Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 That's why that rule is present, and everyone should be aware of it; if no-one minds, it's not a problem, but if it's disturbing someone's gameplay, or they just don't like the music, it can be quickly stopped. This does rely on the integrity of the players, though. If the rule is consistently abused, it may be worth considering removing the privilege of allowing music to be played at all. But I'm not an admin, so meh. I'm pretty notorious by now for mic-spamming soundtracks, I'll be working on limiting the amount I do that in the future.

I've seen Darkesword try to go back to setup only a couple times but it's not going to happen unless all the admins bother with it. It doesn't help that we don't really have a single, cohesive rule that all the admins enforce. I was actually talking with FireSlash about it a while back, but he's taking a short break from admin drama right now. Wait... with both FireSlash and Bahamut gone, that means... I'm in charge... MWAHAHAHAHAHA. (Seriously, though FireSlash is still around, just not doing admin stuff when he's not playing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The game login screen? or Windows? Windows. *snip* Well, I wiped the entire drive and installed 7 from scratch, so fingers crossed. If it still doesn't work though, it would seem that it's a pretty major hardware problem. i.e. something I HAVE to bring it to a shop for. Re: Micspams, I don't really have a problem with it as long as it's either a) short or relatively quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Valve is apparently cosponsoring a TF2 weapon/hat design contest over at Polycount. TF2 Blog post about it. Contest page. Note that the "Winners" of this contest will basically appear in a future Valve community update... most likely sometime in late July (the contest ends at 12:00:01am June 28 ).

Chili Con Carnage Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't mind music in late-night games when the server's only got a few people in it and we're just goofing around, or if the music is quiet enough that it doesn't interfere with hearing things around you. If it's loud enough that I have trouble hearing people calling for medic, that's too much. If it's at about BGM levels, fine by me. For the most part, though, I'm fine with keeping music to setup.

DarkeSword Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If someone asks to stop music, you stop. If you're playing music, make sure you pay attention to voice chat and text chat, because if you miss it and you don't stop after repeatedly being asked, I'm not gonna mute ya, I'm gonna boot ya.

Necro Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 not reallyrun memtest to see if its the ram see if you have an old video card or someone you know does lying around to see if its the video card you can test stuff yourself you know @Atmuh The problem Paranoid will run into is that he is using a laptop. As soon as he starts removing parts he might be voiding warranties. When you say run a memtest are we talking about running a program on the RAM? Or are we talking about a problem with the sticks of RAM, as in hardware? @Paranoid Is your laptop still under warranty? If the issue is hardware then you may be able to force the manufacture to replace the bad parts. Just make sure to keep your hard drive/personal information. If the issue is overheating then you may want to install a hardware monitor. I use this one currently. http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we talking about a problem with the sticks of RAM, as in hardware? http://www.memtest.org/ also, laptop fans require cleaning semi-regularly. use compressed air. But do it in short bursts, as a continuous stream of air can cause the fan bearing to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
