The Infamous Custom Map Week w/c 12th July.

(evilsock) #61

Hmm, I’ll be there tonight to take a peek :slight_smile:

*peek taken.

I’m not going to describe every map with it’s strengths and weaknesses tbh because I think everyone should try them without pre-judgement. Some of them have really great potential but at the same time it would be useful if creators are willing to listen to comments and make changes as it’s also clear some could use a few adjustments.

That said 3v3 was the order of the day and quite abit of time was spent with Axis and Allies holstering their weapons to roam around and understand the layouts, objectives etc. etc .

There does seem to be a problem with the u-boot map - I don’t want to cause a panic or anything, but I wasn’t the only one to consistanly get kicked for having unpure pk3 files referenced - the only solution was to wait a few minutes until my name had cleared from the server and re-enter via ASE - hopefully that’ll be down to me having a load of misc crap in my /etmain directory - I’ll clear it out and report back - YMMV.

Overall its promising stuff - clearly there’s alot of talent in the ET community :slight_smile:

Sorry I couldn’t get on last night (and doubt I will tonite either). Did get a chance to download Iffy’s new map (Rommel) and have a quick run around offline. Looks promising.

In fact I’d quite like to add it to the rotation but I’m thinking there are too many maps now. When I added StalinGrad and Bergen I half thought about dropping some, but I’m not sure which.

UBoot doesn’t seem that great, and I suspect Eagles_b1 and SteelPlant2 (in rotation2) won’t go down a storm either. (I really like SteelPlant2, but it’s not really a comp map).

Any thoughts on how I can trim the map selection and get Rommel in there as well?

knocked up a quick guide for about half the map, just merged together the axis & allied command maps and added some descrption.

ps. rommel_fp has replaced eagles_b1 on rotation2, at request of Kendle.

(CM..Punk) #64

I joined but was the only person there.

(DG) #65

mostly been ~ 3v3 or so during the day

most people like whining about maps but not trying to play even the pick of them, or offer any input.

(Ifurita) #66

odd isn’t it. There is no one on when I get home :frowning: – maybe this weekend though

(Kendle) #67

Yep, Rommel has replaced Eagles_b1 in rotation2, which should be running from tonite, or as soon as me or DG get round to swapping it over.

Had about an hour and a half on there last night (which I wasn’t expecting to), and it was mostly 2v2, which isn’t much of a test for these maps. A bit disheartening tbh. I look forward to flaming the next person who complains about ET needing new competition maps. :wink:

(KingJackaL) #68

Well I’d have been testing if you’d been using better antilag :p.

I might give it a try err… tommorow? ( my AM is your PM etc :wink: ), though I’m not too hopefull on playability.

(mouse) #69

I really wanted to play, but i have no time this week :frowning:

(KingJackaL) #70

OK, jumped on, got an invalid checksum error - no probs, they’re common. Restarted ET, reconnected - PB kick-banned for 1 min for a MD5 on ‘warn.wav’. Restarted ET, reconnected - PB kick-banned for 1 min for a MD5 on ‘menu.wav’.

Maybe I’m not the only one? Maybe nobody’s playing on your server cos they’re all getting kicked?

  1. get rid of PB
  2. update etpro
  3. WINNNAAAHHH!!! :smiley:

( please? )

It runs on the same box as a public server that’s normally full 24/7 (with a shared /etmain), and I’ve never had problems with it, or know of anyone who has.

(Fusen) #72

joined up yet no one is on it but everyone is most likly on the thought of well if no one is on it I’m not gonna join, so hopefully now I’ve alt enetred it I’ll just wait for someone to join up… shame for it to go wasted and empty when so much work has been put into it … maybe try and plug it on more places again now its up?

(BondyBoy007) #73

I tried to join last night and it had a problem with the downloads, it downloaded a couple of maps no problem but on one which was 10 meg or so in size it downloaded 10 meg of it and then continued downloading past 10 meg?!? I quit out when it got to 15mb of 10mb with a -500 bytes download speed and estimated time of -2:00, dont know what went on there

(mouse) #74

ill try to play after my CB summercupmatch of tonight, that will be around 22:00 CET.

(Fusen) #75

i got kicked for inactivity lol then I tried writing hi in the snow using mines but you limted to 7 instead of default 10 ;’( damn cb rules. anyone about to join in?

(Kendle) #76

@Fusen, some of us have this little thing called “work” to do during the day :wink:

@Bondy, try downloading the maps in advance, using the links in the opening post, rather than relying on HTTP re-direct (I’ve found it occassionally opens a web page rather than download the map).

@everyone, I’ll be on tonite from about 9:30-ish (GMT) onwards. I’ll also try and pimp it a bit in IRC.

edit: Remember it’s Rotation 2 tonite.

(EvilBaga) #77

Just went there…totally empty?

(Kendle) #78

'kin hell, it’s the middle of the day here, don’t you people have work / school etc?

I’ll be on 9:30pm (that’s 7 hours from now!!) and hope to rope in a few of me ex-clannies as well.

(Fusen) #79
