ParanoidDrone Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 You know I don't think I've played a non-MVM round in weeks. That needs to change. I concur, MVM isn't really my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I generally enjoy it, but it would be nice to kill some stuff that isn't robots for a change. I got a hat from my stocking! Which was...hatless Engy. This game seems to like giving me hats which are not hats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bark Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have been playing a lot of MvM, but it has been pretty lucrative...... two australium weapons found (Wrench, Grenade Launcher), Two weapons sold. I am quite happy heading into the Steam Sale.... now i just hope there's games i like. Mrs Bark and I are leaving tomorrow to visit her family, and likely won't be around until Thursday or Friday.

Bejack Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hello, so i downloaded Steam and TF2, played for a few hours offline with some bots, read the beginner's faq written by Evertsen on the Steam forums and would really like to try this online if you guys are noob friendly/tolerant. The last fps i have played were battlefield 2 and Counter-Strike some 7-8 years ago. I have and old pc and my frames per second are not great, average between 20-40, but nonetheless this seems really a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I've spent a lot of time since July fixing a bunch of bugs in Prop Hunt and adding a new feature or two. So, why am I mentioning this? Because I was talking with a few people about this on OCR and they were saying that we should have a Prop Hunt night some time. What would be a good day/time to do something like this? Since I develop PropHunt, I have a more-or-less permanent Prop Hunt server running at tf2.rbemrose.com:27015 (hosted in Chicago) so finding a PH server isn't an issue.

Since I develop PropHunt, I have a more-or-less permanent Prop Hunt server running at tf2.rbemrose.com:27015 (hosted in Chicago) so finding a PH server isn't an issue. I'd totally be up for it. Just a heads up, I sent quite a few invites out the OCR TF2 Steam Group. If you didn't get an invite, be sure to join in, and invite anybody else you think may be up for some fun times. I'll try to talk to Baha about getting a few more admins in the group so we can schedule events and send out (like Prophunt) By the way, a long time ago we used to hold pick-up games (scrims) within the OCR community, but that fell out sometime ago. If you guys would like, I could help with setting up some scrims again if any of you would like to try your hand at some friendly community competition (it would likely be 4v4 or 6v6, because HL is fun and all, but to get 18 people together is a bitch). My vote is for 4v4, it's a new format, nobody is very experienced, and is easy to get together. But I'll leave it up to all of you, if anyone is interested.

Here's what the new items a look a like. Edited February 7, 2014 by Super-Duper Sombrero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I should point out that the new QuickPlay rules went into effect today. This includes kicking players for reserved slots, so if OCR is still in the QuickPlay rotation and reserved slots are still on, the server is violating the rules and needs the following cvar set: tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay 1 Incidentally, I wrote a quick web page to allow server owners to register server accounts since Valve hasn't made one yet (it just sends a POST request to their WebAPI). the steamid it gives you back needs to be put in the server's autoexec.cfg using the sv_setsteamaccount command.

Powerlord Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Incidentally, you should really install the latest MapChooser Extended tf.txt on OCR's server in the addons/sourcemod/configs/mapchooser_extended/maps/ folder so it stops considering maps added in the past year or so to be custom maps. Oh, and I recently updated MapChooser Extended to fix a double nomination bug (also present in the SourceMod MapChooser) and a potential off-by-one error in the nominations count when using NativeVotes.
