ParanoidDrone Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 My problem with round limits is that sometimes everyone genuinely is enjoying a map, and then after 2 rounds, the map ends. If anyone has any good suggestions on how a good round limit could be implemented, I'm all ears though. I do want to adjust the time limit for several maps though.Also if a particular custom map sucks, tell me. I am always looking to pare down the votable list. To be fair, the number of times I've actually enjoyed a balanced round of Dustbowl/Badwater/etc. to the point where I wanted to continue after the map time ran out can be counted on one hand. Alternately, you could add an option to extend the current map time to the map vote. Have the vote start at the beginning of the last round if possible, as well. (By "round" I mean a segment of gameplay that can't be interrupted by a map change. So for Dustbowl it would be the start of Stage 1, but for Pipeline it could be at the start of any stage, for example. Single stage maps don't have to worry about this for obvious reasons.) I'd also like to put in my blanket disapproval for all flavors of Orange maps, but IDK if any are on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Oh glorious day, an Enforcer nerf! Also some other stuff, but mostly that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 eerieone released a new version of pl_cashworks a few days ago that fixes the issue prefinal and final had with DX8 machines. Its name is pl_cashworks_final1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Sweet. That also reminded me of a 2Fort custom, ctf_2fort_revamp, currently Beta 3 and probably stuck in development hell. It has several modifications over the stock map designed to make it harder to turtle and spawncamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I forgot to mention, but last night I updated the server with the updated Cashworks. I've been pretty busy lately unfortunately, and this week at night I'm pretty much booked excepting maybe Friday. I do want to play more at night, it's just that I've been booking my time like crazy for doing stuff. It's unfortunate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The winners of TF2maps.net's latest contest have been announced. Linky. The contest was Dynamic PL. In other words, payload with a dynamic element, such as the bridge in Thunder Mountain's first stage or the turntable on Barnblitz. I haven't played on any of the winners, but the fact that they won should say something about their quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlos9D Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd sure love to play with you guys... but where the heck is everyone? It seems like every night I log on, nobody is there. Is there a second server like there was before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like every night I log on, nobody is there.Is there a second server like there was before? Sort of. The community has fragmented somewhat, we sometimes gather on other servers if there aren't enough for a full game. It's all pretty ad hoc, just add some people and jump in if you see them playing.

Bahamut Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I haven't been on as much as I had a month ago unfortunately - I've been out with various social/networking engagements or various running groups, where evening runs work nicely. Also I should mention that I will be out from June 20th to July 3rd, and probably gone on the 4th as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 There have been times I'll join a game halfway through the allotted map time and within a round or two I'll be topping the scoreboard. It's almost scary and usually makes me feel bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost scary and usually makes me feel bad. I always wonder if I've ruined someones first time playing TF2. Not some COD/XBox Live transfer pubber, but someone who really wants to get into the game and here I am, killing him every time he comes around a corner.

Top Gun Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think Frogg got me the "assist with 10 kills" achievement for the Medic in a round of Gravel Pit once. It wasn't pretty for the other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Got, intern (heal 7000 in a life) Specialist (heal 10000 in one life) and Milestone 3 all at once thanks to frogg and the team we were on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogg53186 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I wish they would revert Big Pharma back to needing 20 kills/assists, I think 10 is a bit on the easy side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I got the Chievy when it was hard, and when I was 200+ ping in Japan. Just requires good dodging on the Medic's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 So...the most recent update has added random drops of what can literally be described as pieces of junk. Pocket lint, a wheel of cheese, a goldfish, a broken capacitor, and so on. No word yet on what they're for or what they can do, but rampant mass speculation has Meet the Pyro pegged as the most likely target. FireSlash popped up as part of the whole thing, too.

bark Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd guess it'll be part of what ever summer spectacular Valve has planned for the next week or so, once the elementary schools are out........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
