Top Gun Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Heh, I haven't even played the beta maps yet, and they're already going change-happy on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm glad they changed Cactus Canyon, the map was fairly schizophrenic in that it was either a complete faceroll for BLU or a complete stonewall for RED, at varying points of the map depending on when they get their act together. There was also a massive chokepoint on the first point of stage 2, with everyone being funneled through a single arch. Asteroid may as well be a new map entirely, but I wish they'd left the cave systems in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Most of my time in TF2 lately has been on the beta maps. I want to like Cactus Canyon but the difficulty curve is inconsistent across the map. And it's hard to form a concrete opinion when there's always a few people doing the conga in spawn instead of playing. </rant> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I wish I'd been able to stick around last night, but my playing experience had literally devolved into random CTDs every 5 minutes or so. I did a full wipe and reinstall of the game, so hopefully that'll improve things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've heard something about the updating changing player-specific IDs that some server mods use to keep track of bans, donations, etc. The details are beyond my comprehension. Does that affect us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So what, exactly, is the cause behind the background map being an option in map nominations? (Also, it showed up as arena_ravine when looking at the server info through Steam.) I assume it's fixable, if only we could figure out what was wrong. There seemed to be debate on the issue in the server the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else wants to take a stab at googling, this is the error the server throws in the logs: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map It was saying that maps/tc_hydro.bsp does not exist...which is a load of crap.

If anyone else wants to take a stab at googling, this is the error the server throws in the logs: If SourceMod can't find a maplist file specified in configs/maplists.cfg, it will instead show a list of all the maps present on the server... including the background map. It was saying that maps/tc_hydro.bsp does not exist...which is a load of crap. Perhaps one of the maplists has tc_hydro.bsp instead of tc_hydro?

ParanoidDrone Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I keep meaning to bring this up but also keep forgetting. Is there a reason I can access the admin menu with what looks like typical kick/ban functionality, but can't /slap or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Duper Sombrero Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Slap (as well as drug, beacon, burn, firebomb, freeze, timebomb, and rename) are currently restricted to the four root admins (Bahamut, Bark, Gamemaster, Sombrero). I'm pretty sure it's been this way for quite a while, actually. It's not difficult to change, but that's up to Baha. I think the idea was to keep the game more under control with less kooky craziness and admin absurdity. I think the only person do actually get one of the fun commands in the past couple months (at least from me) has been Maniac? I prefer it that way, personally. Correction: Slap is under permission for sm_slay, and all the fun commands are under cheats, I believe. Flags { "reservation" "a" //Reserved slots "generic" "b" //Generic admin, required for admins "kick" "c" //Kick other players "ban" "d" //Banning other players "unban" "e" //Removing bans "slay" "f" //Slaying other players "changemap" "g" //Changing the map "cvars" "h" //Changing cvars "config" "i" //Changing configs "chat" "j" //Special chat privileges "vote" "k" //Voting "password" "l" //Password the server "rcon" "m" //Remote console "cheats" "n" //Change sv_cheats and related commands /** * Custom flags can be used by plugins, but they can also be used to * for you to expand on the previous groups, using Overrides. */ "custom1" "o" "custom2" "p" "custom3" "q" "custom4" "r" "custom5" "s" "custom6" "t" /** * Root is a magic access flag that grants all permissions. * This should only be given to trusted administrators. * Root users can target anyone regardless of immunity, * however, they themselves are not automatically immune. */ "root" "z" } Admins (B, B, G, S) have z (root access). Moderators (Brushfire, DarkeSword, Frostbite, IJ, Kamikaze, Lyrai, ParanoidDrone, and phill) have abcdeghjkop. (note that f, i, l, m, n are missing) so now that nobody is confused I guess my job here is done I don't see how this isn't perfectly clear right guys Edited September 21, 2014 by Super-Duper Sombrero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
