RussellChamp Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 everybody complaining for/against class limits Hey guys... I just like to play video games online with people I've made friends with. How badly is this for/against class limits thing worth arguing over? There have been some heated arguments and long dialogs from both sides of the camp and convincing arguments but is it really worth it? Whether or not I agree with the policy is beside the point. The real question is whether the admins have stepped outside their role of authority or abused their powers. I feel that they really have not. Whenever I visit different servers, I always reflect on how nice the OCR one is (which is a direct result of BOTH the players and the admins that make it up). I don't mean to sound like a dick or pretentious and I understand that people want to have a fun time with their friends but if you really, really don't like the rules that the OCR TF2 admins make that badly, there are like 500 viable, different TF2 servers out there, some of which may have rules more to your liking. Tell me if I'm wrong... that's just my opinion. PS I do feel that presenting ideas and opinions are a great thing but all this bickering just seems unnecessary.

FireSlash Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Ok so because atmuh is awesome, I've fixed the mapchooser_extended plugin. BASICALLY - rtv and nominate still function exactly the same as they do now. - You now get a 15 second audible and visible warning + countdown for the next map vote - Map vote keys are no longer bound to 1-3 - If no map wins by 45%, it will do a runoff vote with the top voted maps Someone pointed out engies use keys 4+ for building and destroying, but with the alert it should be fine (Once you vote, you can resume normal key use, and you know it's coming), so hopefully this should be an ideal solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same answer applies though. And we do have the lastdisguise button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Once again I need to remind myself that I am in the minority of people who predominately use the scroll wheel to choose weapons, not the number keys. I totally do this too. Using the number keys for weapons seems really really weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 And following procrastination and a fit of boredom, I whipped up a script that removes the Disguise Kit and PDAs from the scroll wheel selection. It won't reset when you die though, so that'll be an issue unless you set TF2 to remember your weapon between lives. alias "primary" "slot1; bind mwheelup melee; bind mwheeldown secondary"alias "secondary" "slot2; bind mwheelup primary; bind mwheeldown melee" alias "melee" "slot3; bind mwheelup secondary; bind mwheeldown primary" bind mwheelup melee bind mwheeldown secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Real spies dial 4-#-# for disguises. I do use 4-X-X to disguise. But it and the PDA gets in the way when I scroll from primary to melee and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 The stats page on the server now brings up a list of which game you want to look at, due to adding HLStatsX tracking of the CS:S server. The link in the MOTD has been updated to link directly to the TF2 page on HLStatsX instead. Additionally, I've modified it so HLStatsX will no longer announce connecting players, as per a prior request from Bahamut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I requested that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I requested that? I thought it was you. Maybe it was FireSlash. Also: As a reminder, RED has the ??? Event tonight at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT. Which involves some... surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeting_Gman Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I totally do this too. Using the number keys for weapons seems really really weird to me. I do this too. It's a bad habit though because my mouse wheel isn't very tight, so sometimes it will flick back to a weapon I don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm watching Lale play right now as I work on a research paper and noticed that apparently we have an RTD mod installed. WHAT? Also Lale just rolled and got a 500 HP overheal and someone else is on a timer until they explode. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. EDIT: Nevermind, talked with Powerlord, it's sorted out now.

Yes, apparently putting the cvar to disable it in autoexec.cfg doesn't work if the plugin is loaded on map change, as autoexec.cfg is only executed once on server load. Anyway... since the cat is out of the bag, this plugin is related to the event on RED tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindStrike Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 LIKE THE RTD PLUGIN IS THE ONLY THING HAPPENING, AHAHAHAH. ... like I'd know what else is going on... *runs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 LIKE THE RTD PLUGIN IS THE ONLY THING HAPPENING, AHAHAHAH.... like I'd know what else is going on... *runs* Actually, I removed the rtd plugin from the server completely now. Yeah, that's it. I definitely wouldn't try rtd or !rtd on the server when it's up later... and I'm definitely not on the server right now making sure I can adjust the rtd configuration on the fly and make sure it stays on between maps if you change the settings or anything.

This man speaks truth. I only relay rumors I hear coming from people that don't even play the game, like bLiNd or God or Captain Falcon. Also, Engi Update = SNIPER FEST. Seriously, anyone using the Wrangler will die to me... unless you're using it in close corridors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindStrike Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The following was a part of the ??? TF2 Event that was on the RED server tonight: - Roll the Dice (RTD) Mod - Engi update was still popular, despite the limit of 4 engis - About 16 guys switching names with each other. Took about an hour before anyone actually caught onto this. Here is the list of who was who. Original / Switch! - !! = Aeronaut - Aeronaut = ??? - [lions]bonzai = Necro - [OCR]<DsH>Draken-Korin = [lions]Maniac - FROGG = FireSlash - Gamemaster1379 = That other MAV2013 - [OCR]Kenogu Labz= [OCR]WindStrike - [OCR] Krowbar = ParanoidDrone - Lale [solid Snake] = MAV2013, Ice Man - [lions]Maniac = bonzai - MAV2013 = !! - Necro = Lale [solid Snake] - ParanoidDrone = FROGG - Powerlord = Paranoid, Kagami 2, XX - [OCR]WindStrike = [OCR]Kenogu Labz I don't think I missed any, but that's everyone that I knew about. I say we have another RTD night (or some other crazy mod). That was fun, especially the no-clipping stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
