Kirt that is top notch classyness right there. Awesome stuff, we can have week day games! :smiley: Hopefully we can set up some more weekly matches.

#425

Weeeeee! :bounce:

Yeah, now I have to figure out how to be a server Admin.
The things I get myself into. [looks for ā€œServer Admin for Dummiesā€ book]

Iā€™m going to leave it ā€˜Vanillaā€™ for about a week (maybe longer). Mainly until I learn how to add custom maps to the rotation. And by ā€œcustom mapsā€ I mean ā€œCGTalkā€™s awesome mapsā€. I donā€™t expect Iā€™ll tweek any other settings (class restrictions, respawn timers, etc.) because I like the game the way it is.

Iā€™m going to informally announce here that I play every Sat & Sun night between 10pm and 2:00am PST. I hope to see you online. If Iā€™m not around by 10:30pm something came up and Iā€™ll catch you another time.

#426

Itā€™s really pretty simple - just ask me if you run into any problems.

#427

Kirt and Akin: Kromano was saying something about being able to set the in-game download of custom maps to my server rather than having to do it through the game server. I wouldnā€™t mind that at all if you can figure out how to do it.

#428

Woot! I figured this one out already.
You have to store the custom maps on your server under the following directory structure:

http://www.mysite.com/TF2/tf/maps/

Iā€™ll need to know the ā€œwww.mysite.comā€ part so I can include it in the server config.
Plus the name of the maps so I can add it to something else (which Iā€™m still trying to figure out - hehehe).
Maps should be in bZip2 format for faster downloads.

#429

I too can host maps for download if need be. No problems at all and my site server is really fast (relatively?)

#430

Iā€™m in the process right now of uploading the two maps (in bz2 format) to the correct directories.

         The domain is [www.vanillachicken.com](http://www.vanillachicken.com), The map names are "ctf_escherhausBeta2.bsp.bz2" (Kromano's map,) and "ctf_happyvalley_v002.bsp.bz2" (swizzle's map.)
         
         The final download directories:
         
         [http://www.vanillachicken.com/tf2/tf/maps/ctf_happyvalley_v002_2.rar](http://www.vanillachicken.com/tf2/tf/maps/ctf_happyvalley_v002_2.rar)
         
         and
         
         [http://www.vanillachicken.com/tf2/tf/maps/ctf_escherhausBeta2.rar](http://www.vanillachicken.com/tf2/tf/maps/ctf_escherhausBeta2.rar)[](http://www.vanillachicken.com/tf2/tf/maps/ctf_escherhausBeta2.bz2)    
        Please don't judge me because of the bad design and/or lack of content on my site, I just bought it and I'm learning.
     
     EDIT: AARRG! Seems like the links aren't working, I think I know what the problem is but I'm going to fix it tomorrow, it's getting rather late here.
#431

anyone want to play a game today hop in the server since iā€™ll be on for the rest of the day! first day of my winter break and itā€™s too damn cold to go outside :smiley:

edit:

Kirt: you forgot to place the custom maps in the rotation

#432

Ill be on as well if anyone feels like playing.

#433

Someone didnā€™t read my posts ā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

#434

If you guys are interested in adding more custom maps to the servers may I suggest looking into getting cp_labor and cp_warpath? I think they would make great additions to the rotation. Just my opinion. :slight_smile:

#435

Iā€™m in the game ā€¦ lets hope you guys join before tumbleweed passes by :smiley:

#436

RockinAkin, maybe you could edit your post on the first page to include Kirtā€™s server IP, otherwise Kirtā€™s post will soon get buried under 20 pages of unrelated commentsā€¦

#437

Done, Done and Done :wink:

#438

Great, then letā€™s get this thing going. While playing I am constantly checking if there are any people on the server, but so far it stays emptyā€¦ Iā€™d join if there were at least 4-5 peopleā€¦

#439

Kirt: .bz2 filetype is giving me problems. I have the maps in the correct directory but in rar format, let me know if this is Okay.

#440

Stupid 5 year old laptopā€¦ I hope the server is still up in January when Iā€™m back on a computer that can handle TF2. I totally want to blow you guys up.

In a friendly sort of way, of course :slight_smile:

#441

message me if anyone wants to play, iā€™ll be on all day todayā€¦ :thumbsup:
