Bahamut Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I shall be on this Friday - I've been busy for the past month or so (went to Las Vegas for almost a week, then to Houston for Zilac & Miss Velociraptor's wedding, then this past week to DC for MAGFest). Hopefully we can get it going more regularly again! Edit: correction - I can't hop on this Friday, boss wants to take a remote worker in town to the movies .

RocketSniper Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 See if you can watch American Sniper. Highly interesting, slightly less comedic than australian sniper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Why not 9 ET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster1379 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Why not 9 ET? Given a lot of feedback, some people may have work or other obligations, and starting later means less time for them. Also, if expected turnouts are accurate, it may help to disperse early people out who may be a bit tired for later people to transition in. We may very well have over 24 people.

Super-Duper Sombrero Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Why not 9 ET? You are in fact allowed to show up earlier, or later if you so please! We're open 24 hours, folks! hot dogs are forbidden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster1379 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thank you for an absolutely amazing first TF2 Night everyone! Everyone had a great time and turnout was amazing. I'd say we had at least 50-75 people show up throughout the course of the night, and we ran for almost four hours. See you all next week!

Hazardice Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I used to play pretty regularly on the server back in like 2012 or so. Was going to try to go to this when I saw the announcement, but the server was pretty much full every time I tried. I'll try to make it to next weeks earlier!

Gamemaster1379 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Server Update for 3/18 The server has been updated to the newest version of TF2. In addition, several config changes have been made. - mapCycle list has been added. The server will now pick from a more select list when choosing maps to vote on (this means that when nobody nominates, we won't see tc_hydro as a random pick anymore!). The nomination list is unchanged and all maps on the server can still be nominated for voting. - Map ctf_thundermountain has been added to nominations list - "Recent Maps nomination" set has been reduced from last 7 maps to last 2 maps.

Bahamut Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I actually had it intentional that all default maps were possibilities in the unnominated voting list - did people not like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 For most of them, that's fine. But there's a handful (like hydro) that are pretty much universally loathed and never ever ever get voted for even when they show up on the vote list.

bark Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I actually had it intentional that all default maps were possibilities in the unnominated voting list - did people not like that? The server appeared to pick the most unplayed maps as the choices for the map list. So if no one nominated anything, we would end up with the 5 pretty horrible maps.

DarkeSword Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Since we've got the forums all upgraded, I want to push for people to start using the forum's built-in calendar functions for organizing community events like game nights and stuff. http://ocremix.org/community/calendar/ You should be able to submit an event for TF2 nights. All you need is a moderator approval on the event, which I can do on a regular basis. Please decide on one person to submit the event. Wes should also be able to do it without the need for moderator approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster1379 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Darkesword, that's most likely left in the best interest of either myself or Bahamut. I do the weekly scheduling, so it may work best for me to have the ability to do so. Also, as an unrelated note, Aero got a pleasant surprise from us!

Gamemaster1379 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Big update incoming tonight. Lots of crazy tenative changes. GAME PLAY CHANGES New feature : Weapon exchange and pick up. Weapons dropped by killed players can no longer be picked up for ammo. Killed players will now also drop a medium ammo box. Players that can normally equip the dropped weapon (proper class) can look at the weapon and press the 'action key' to exchange it with what they have equipped. The player's equipped weapon will be dropped on the exchange. Inspect Target has been changed to Inspect Target or Item. While having a decorated weapon deployed with no target under the cross hair and then pressing the bound inspect key (+inspect) , an interruptible view model animation will play. Random Damage Spread is off by default (ConVar tf_damage_disablespread is set to 1). Auto reload is on by default (ConVar cl_autoreload 1). Existing users will still use their currently set value. This setting can be changed under Advance Options or through the developer console. Updated various weapon descriptions to better detail the weapon's features. Class and Weapon Changes SPY Spy no longer smacks himself in the face while reloading a revolver (New Spy revolver reload animation that does not block cross hair) Changing to a new disguise while already under a disguise takes 0.5 seconds instead of the normal disguise time of 2 seconds In the disguise menu, pressing 'reload' will also toggle the disguise team. While invisible, Spy receives 20% less damage from all damage sources While invisible, Spy has reduced timer on debuffs (fire, jarate, milk, bleed) Decreased the damage penalty on Sentries sapped by the Spy from -66% to -33% (i.e. shooting a Sentry the Spy sapped with a Revolver is now more effective) Spy-cicle Changed fire immunity for 3 seconds to fire immunity for 1 second and 7 seconds of afterburn immunity Removed silent killer attribute Spy-cicle recharge timer can now be reduced by picking up ammo boxes Enforcer Changed +20% damage bonus while undisguised to +20% damage bonus while disguised Big Earner Added 3 second speed gain on kill Kunai Health penalty reduced from -65 to -55 (70 Health total) Minimum Health gain of 75 on kill Maximum overheal from Kunai increased from 195 to 210 Cloak and Dagger Can now pick up ammo kits for cloak meter while visible. Previously could not pick up ammo packs for cloak. Cloak gain is at a reduced rate when compared to stock invis watch on ammo pick up Dead Ringer Triggering Feign Death instantly removes 50% cloak meter Changed increased drain rate to a decreased drain rate. Overall duration of invisibility is still 7 seconds when accounting for initial spend of 50 cloak meter for triggering Feign Death Decreased cloak regen rate from +80% to +50% When Feign Death is triggered, the Spy receives a 3 second speed boost Initial attack that triggers feign death has its damage reduced by 50% Damage resistance on triggering feign death scales over time. 65% to 20% over 3 seconds Feign Death stealth has no bump shimmer for 3 seconds 3 seconds after triggering Feign Death, the Spy is under normal invisible conditions (20% armor and shimmers if bumped or shot) Can no longer pick up ammo for cloak meter while cloaked ENGINEER Construction boosts (wrench hits, redeploys) from multiple sources is now additive instead of multiplicative. Calculations are based around a 1x base building speed. Increased base wrench construction speed on hit boost by 50%. Buildings now build 2.5x faster instead of just 2x (additive of 1.5x + base speed) Teleporters and Dispensers redeploy +50% faster (2.5x without wrench boost, 5.5x with wrench boost) Building pick up speed penalty reduced from 25% to 10% On Wrench equip change, buildings no longer self-destruct unless the building type is changed (i.e. Only Sentry explodes when switching from Wrench to Gunslinger) Building repair costs increased from 20 metal to 33 metal to repair 100hp per wrench hit (from 5HP per metal to 3HP per metal) Level 2 and Level 3 Sentries have less passive damage resistance against Heavy miniguns. Level 2 Sentry Minigun resistance changed from 20% to 15% and Level 3 Changed from 33% to 20% Gunslinger / Minisentry Mini Sentries can now be repaired Mini Sentries can now be wrench construction boosted Mini Sentry base build speed decreased. Mini Sentries that are wrench boosted build slightly faster than previously. Mini Sentries start at 50% health on construction and gain health during construction instead of starting at 100% Metal gibs from destroyed Mini Sentries no longer grant any metal Pomson 6000 Uber and Cloak drain decreases over distance from target. Decreases start at 512 Hammer Units (Hu) from target and reach 0 drain at 1536Hu Wrangler Ammo and Repair given to a shielded Sentry is reduced by the strength of the shield (66% reduced) when shield is active Engineer death keeps the Wrangled sentry shielded and disabled for 3 seconds, same as when Wrangler is switched away. Previously Engineer death caused disable state for only 1 second Jag With the change to Base Construction boost, Jag bonus has improved. 30% increase of 1.5x makes a total of 1.95x (total of 2.95x when base speed is added) Added +15% swing speed. Added 20% repair penalty. Repairs will give up to 80hp per swing instead 100hp per swing. The Short Circuit Projectile destruction has been moved to alt-fire at the cost of -15 per shot. There is a 0.5s cool down between attempts and refire Cannot pick up buildings when the Short Circuit is deployed Eureka Effect Previous penalties have been removed and replaced with the following Construction hit speed boost decreased by 50% 50% less metal from pickups and dispensers SCOUT Baby Face's Blaster Added Boost reduction on taking damage.

Is now capped per attack and scales with total damage done relative to base damage. i.e. doing 45 damage nets +10 health on hit as base damage is 90. Hitting 3 enemies for 45 each for a total of 135 damage only returns +20 health. Liberty Launcher Now has +25% clip size Battalions Backup Fixed an issue that caused rocket jumps to be decreased when it was active. DEMOMAN Tide Turner Self damage will no longer decrease charge when charging Fall damage will no longer decrease charge when charging Amount of charge taken away on damage when charging reduced from 3 to 1 per point of damage Bootlegger / Ali Baba's Wee Booties Added +10% movement speed bonus Changed 25 charge on charge kill to 25 charge on melee kill The Claidheamh Mòr Changed 25 charge on charge kill to 25 charge on melee kill Loch-n-Load Changed +20% damage bonus to +20% damage against buildings Iron Bomber Removed damage penalty on self-detonate Reduced radius penalty from -20% to -15% Quickiebomb Launcher Damage is now increased based on charge amount when the bomb is fired Ullapool Caber Reduced explosion base damage from 100 to 75 Reduced damage ramp up bonus for close range attacks.

Vaccinator base resist does not grant any crit resistance. Vaccinator Uber deploys now always take exactly 1 bar of Uber charge. Vaccinator Uber deploys give the patient a 2.5 second bubble of 75% damage resistance of the current resist type and full crit resistance to that type. These bubbles do not disappear if the medic stops targeting the current patient. Multiple bubbles of different types can be applied to the same patient or multiple patients given the same resist uber each consuming 1 charge. Vaccinator uber build now suffers the same penalties as other mediguns when it comes to multiple medics on the same target and max overhealed patients. Decreased the bonus healing a Medic received for properly selecting the right damage resistance type from 25% of incoming damage to 10% of incoming damage Added Penalty of 66% decreased uber build rate while healing a overhealed patient Solomn Vow Added 10% attack speed penalty SNIPER Sydney Sleeper Jarate now applies on all scoped shots, duration scales with charge duration (2 to 8 seconds) Bazaar Bargain No longer lose heads on miss Collecting a head requires a headshot kill and not just a headshot Each head boosts charge rate by 25% up to 200% Charge rate penalty changed from -20% to -50%.

Decreases starting at 512hu down to zero stun at 1536Hu Brass Beast Added 20% damage resistance while spun up Tomislav Now 20% more accurate (less spread) Increased spin up bonus from 10% to 20% Family Business Now has +15% increased attack speed Warriors Spirit Now has +10 health on hit Eviction Notice Now has 3 second speed boost on hit Dalokoh's Bar Now has 10 second cool down on use Can now overheal up to 400hp Can be thrown (alt-fire) as a small medkit for other players to use Lunchbox items Updated description to note that these items can be thrown (alt-fire) to supply players with a medkit. MULTI-CLASS Panic Attack Base Fire rate increased (from 15% to 30%) Base reload speed increased (from 33% to 50%) Added increased switch to speed by +50% New taunts and maps and whatnot, too. Apparently OCR beat the curve this time. Snowplow, Suijin, and Borneo are all maps we've had featured on the server. If you haven't tried them before, be sure to soon! I'll try to be on tonight to play the update, but it might be a little later. I have scrims tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster1379 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 From my personal website: VictoryPit Community Night for November 6, 2015 Hello all! I hope you are all ready for community night tomorrow! We have some much needed changes in store, and a few fun extras! First thing's first, the server's configuration has seen a second overhaul. We have removed some dated plugins and reworked our configuration files. Map voting was confusing before, and I have condensed it down into two files. By default, admins and users alike can now access all maps on the server. However, the map voting options is limited to a subset of popular stock and custom maps. This way, we won't get a bunch of strange or odd votes when nobody nominates anything. Secondly, admin menus and permissions have been cleaned up. If we can't trust our administrators, why should you? All administrators have been given equal access across the board. Next up, the removal of reserved slots. While some enjoyed the bonus of first priority, reserved slots have shown to be novelty at best and only seem to serve to drive away new potential community members who feel unwelcome when kicked. As such, they will be retired indefinitely. All configuration changes can be seen over at the GitHub Repository for the OCReMix Server! Lastly, what's a community without community? A longtime mapmaker who has showcased on OCR is back again with a new map! After five years in the making, we are proud to host pl_corrode! Let's see what all it has to offer tomorrow night during OCR TF2 night! Check it out at the Steam Workshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
