Powerlord Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Status update.New server has been picked out. It's in Dallas, Texas. We ended up choosing a dedicated server because it means we can deploy it however we want, including mod servers and other games. Everyone seems to get decent pings there as well (The server we tested saturday was also in Dallas, so your ping should be similar) It is however a bit more expensive than before. We've moved to subscription based reserved slots. You can choose how much you want to donate per month, and cancel any time. http://fireslash.net/~fireslash/reserved_slots.php is the current signup page (I'll make it pretty later). I'll update the first post as soon as I get the new servers fully deployed. Yeah, I subscribed, but I didn't see anywhere to enter in my Steam ID. Won't this make the process harder?

FireSlash Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yeah, good point. Umm. If you buy a reserved slot, email fireslash@fireslash.net with your order number (Will be on the receipt) and steam ID. If you dont' know your steam ID then include a link to your steam community profile, or your hlstats page ( http://www.ocrtf2.com/stats/hlstats.php ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm officially not bothering to sign up for this until we have this figured out. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I will begin donating when everything is set until then I shall stare at things in a disconcerting manner. You shall all be ogled. ogled like a fury. Edit: NO I'M NO LONGER DAN HIBIKI T_T dammit Goomba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellChamp Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I just started a donation at $2/mo. Hopefully everyone doing this shows that some people really are interested and will put their money where there mouth is. It's really cool how this community really is willing to chip in for stuff like this. EDIT: Edit: NO I'M NO LONGER DAN HIBIKI T_T dammit Goomba. I'm still Dan Hibiki and I've been lurking for years... Q_Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireSlash Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I've not copied the configs and mods over yet, but I've got a tf2 server up for anyone who wants to log in and check their pings. 206.217.135.91:27015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 okay for me the Ping is 138 to 141 which is nice but it has some epic stutter when I went on not sure if that's because it's not done yet but it's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubNormal J3 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Not sure how helpful this is, but while playing alone on the servers I got pings of: 20 on Other Team Babies 35 on TF2: 3 and 45 on Vanilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather lower than that obviously, but it's not far off of what I had on the old server so I can live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to complain about it. Mid 70's is perfectly playable and as good as I ever saw on the old server so no issues here. Actually, I think it might be a bit better than what I got on the old server. I've just been somewhat spoiled lately playing on servers with 30 ping all of the time.

Powerlord Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 So yeah, if you haven't checked the first post yet, the new servers are now operational (although I need to restart BLU to up the player count to 25). Right now, both servers are identical other than what map they start rotation on. BLU starts on ctf_doublecross, RED starts on pl_goldrush. BLU is blu.ocrtf2.com:27015 / 206.217.135.91:27015 RED is red.ocrtf2.com:27015 / 206.217.135.92:27015 Both are being tracked by our stats site.

So when do the reserve slots activate (or are they already) and do they count for both servers? -Krowbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, they affect both servers, and any other applicable servers should we add any in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I've updated HLStatsX: CE to 1.6.9. This should resolve some issues dealing with how it logged teleports and fixes a potential issue with how stats are logged from multiple servers. At present, it logs stats from all 4 servers are logged. Also, I made a change that may piss people off: Crits no longer subtract a point from your score. Recent HLStatsX installs no longer have -1 for crits, so I figured popular support would be to disable it (we talked about this once before as I recall). One last thing, I fixed the configuration on the two new servers so they no longer spam HLStatsX stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atmuh Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Could we get a stat reset, I mean Frogg is now 30000 points ahead of everyone at the moment. you could just play engineer only for about 3 weeks and get right up there with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 you could just play engineer only for about 3 weeks and get right up there with him Last month alone, Frogg made 6,000 kills. In the same time frame, 43,000 Engineers were able to make 110,000 kills. Of those Engineers, the highest kill count belongs to Gamemaster, with 300. His K/D is roughly 1, Frogg's is around 4. Please explain how a single Engineer can hope to reach 6,000 kills in 28 days. Going to a different server where Sentries are more than mild annoyances doesn't count because the stats only track the OCR servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
