Server UP

[wingnut]

The server is up but needs settings tweaked as its pretty stock.

[Deadpool]

I recommend:

10-15s respawn (instant is no good)
30 or 32 players
Auto balance
rock the vote mod (!) (set threshold at 20 or 25)
and the following maps:

stock
cp_dustbowl
cp_gravelpit
Well(cp)
cp_grainary
cp_badlands
tc_hydro (great map, wonder why no one plays it )
pl_goldrush

custom
cp_labor (A+ map)
cp_toy_fort
cp_castle3
cp_science (tight skirmish map)

maps i like but that we shouldn't put on the server
cp_Warpath_final (have to be in the mood for it since it's very stalemate-ish)
Desert fortress
and that new one with the "get the intel to the point"

The key points here being the lack of ctf maps (which take forever) and the quicker (not instant!) respawn. The rock the vote mod lets people change the map if it sucks.

[wingnut]

good good, I will check out those settings on monday!

[Snooze]

didn't know anyone could manage not to put the best map in the rotation... 2fort FTW!!!!

arg, i hate 2fort...

i love 2fort too!

[chickenselects]

since I played the TF2 beta I played the crap out of the only map to see if I liked the game, that map being 2fort. If you get 1-2 good engies on each team the game feels like it never ends.

2fort rules

[Deadpool]

2 fort is ok if you go in knowing that you will never cap the flag... unless you have a SOLID team or incompitant enemies. On 2 fort, i play pyro and OCCASIONALLY heavy... that's it. 20 minutes max.

[Deadpool]

What is the status of this server? How are the maps and server changes going? Also, do you have the Steam admin-passwordy thing set up?

[wingnut]

Basically ... I have done nothing

[Deadpool]

hmm... i may have to work my respawnwave magic. or at least post something on the steam forums to figure it out.

Attempting to revive the thread and hopefully encourage the admins to get the server up properly.

I agree with a lot of what Deadpool said, but would prefer to see the following for maps:

cp_egypt (personal favorite)
cp_dustbowl
cp_gravelpit
cp_well
cp_granary
cp_badlands
cp_freight
cp_fastlane
cp_yukon
pl_badwater
pl_goldrush
koth_viaduct

Those are just a few of my favorite maps that I feel fellow SLPers will get some great play out of. Most notable in the above list is the GLARING ABSENCE of 2fort, which is, as we all know, the world's leading cause of famine, AIDS, and never-ending matches that lead to suicide.

[wingnut]

lol, I will try and get this up for you, however when it has been up no one used it.

[Boyne7]

If anyone wants to better configure it, I've got a tf2 server up that should stay that way hosted with better routing than the slp box as well.

[couchmonkee]

Sadly, I know exceptionally little about how to run a server, or I'd volunteer to put in the legwork myself. As far as no one using it before, I'll do my best to keep the server populated whenever I'm on.

[Jbob]

Google is everyone best friend for server admining

[couchmonkee]

I'll start educating myself, and hopefully I'll be able to help out soon.

arg, i hate 2fort...

one of the worst maps in the game. cant remember the other map for capture the brieft case but the other one is way better.

[couchmonkee]

I've never had any major problem with ctf_turbine or ctf_well, but even those can turn into stalemates if an engie knows what he's doing. At least cp_maps end without sudden death.

[Prime]

2fort is fun once and a while

I prefer payload maps right now

because Im becoming such a boss heavy

[Amenakhte]

im starting to get my scout together. it feels like im playing ut2k4 when im playing him tho. that and my demo is alway on point.

Well, yeah. I always remember UT2K4 as twitch gaming and that's how I play my scout.

I've been playing heavy too. Check it out. The death is from jumping into the hole when we caped the final point

2fort is loads of fun but my new favorite has become ctf_doublecross.
