GitP/ChHa Server Thread IV: For Science. You Monster.

[Mtg_player_zach]

I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE my Antec 1200. I would highly recommend it over the other 2. Way cheaper then the Corsair and it gets the best reviews.

Does it have room to have your PSU wires behind the motherboard, my antec 300 does not, the other two would. From the pictures and dimensions I'm guessing the 1200 doesn't have enough room for that.

[SciurusDoomus]

Nope. I love killing people who are taunting. If you're so sure of yourself, you can taunt. If you die, maybe you should spend more time killing, and less time boasting. :P

Obviously you're not a professional.

I just banned STEAM_0:0:33319423 "The Cake" for gratuitous micspam after multiple warnings and a kick and also after the kick I gave him about four days ago for the same offense.

I kicked STEAM_0:0:9983327 "Doc Grotsnik", STEAM_0:1:777540 "Maxyo", and STEAM_0:0:25978 "PTV|leogeo2" for nonstop insults, sexism, and dickery. This is the second time I've had to kick Maxyo and leogeo for this kind of thing... Djinn, should this have been a ban?

[Valaqil]

Obviously you're not a professional.

Taunting doesn't seem professional. I do my job: Slaughtering the other team indiscriminately for payment in the form of neat hats.

Ban "PTV|leogeo2". Both Fawkes and I heard him use a racial slur on the demo and he left before I could ban him. I could provide the exact slur if necessary. But there were so many people yelling but I'm 99.9% sure it was him.

For the others, I've heard them be ***** in the past a little bit but it's mainly been leogeo.

Also heard him repeatedly using multiple slurs with regards to sex and sexual orientation.

[watsyurname529]

Random thought, but Captain Skill is still the GitP Steam Group player of the week. Seeing as he's banned, I think we should change that.

Yeah. I've mentioned him calling the DemoKnight a "NigKnight" before. The guy is clearly violating the rules (and mean to me his fellow players.)

Personally, I find the man hilarious, but if he's offending people...

I absolutely hate my Antec 900. It's loud, flimsy, and overall fairly shoddily made. Next case I get will either be a corsair or a lian-li.

Also, seriously, my desk is insanely messy...This is when it's clean...

Oh, and my htpc just for kicks.

Even if no one was to complain about it being offensive, it goes against the clearly defined rules that you agree to when you play on our server. If you dont like the rules, fine, dont agree to them and go somewhere else - just dont agree then ignore them.

[Wandiya]

Dis, please enlighten me why there are 3 mice scattered around your desk. Isn't one enough?

Also, lucky person with 2 screens mumblemumble.

Also also, the more I look at it the more I'm scared. You drink lemon-lime-strawberry softdrink yogurt?

Mouse next to keyboard is for gaming comp, the one on the desk corner is wireless and for the htpc, and the other one is the one I'll sometimes use for my laptop.

Two screens is something I've had going for ages now. Handy for art, although I haven't really used it much in that capacity yet, but it'll start getting more use now I'm at uni.

And I drink lemon-lime solo and like yogurt, although normally passionfruit (:

Aaaaand, day 3 of Dr. Girlfriend's desk.

I'm starting a set for my desk on Flickr. Going to post a pic everyday just to see the change.

[AlterForm]

After [duration of time], you totally have to make a montage of the accumulated images.

Maybe a month of daily pictures, or a year of weekly ones. You could call it "Evolution of Desk."

[Sleverin]

I'd show you guys my desk but:

A. I dont have a camera and
B. I dont have a desk.

My comp is on my coffee table, next to my TV, and I sit on my futon and kill things from the comfort of my bed. My room is impressively tiny but comfortable. Oh and I have blacklight posters on my walls, with a cool blacklight to make them glow. I'd show those off, but I got a couple that would be considered "risque", nothing tawdry mind you, but nudity nonetheless.

I think it's hilarious. Keep it as is.


Um, guys? There has been nothing about the server in a page or so. Maybe.. Move it to the Steam thread..? Maybe?

The little bit about the banning and kicking of a couple people is about the server so we're still good for our one post a page server issues.

Doesn't having the screen not parallel to keyboard feel really, really wierd?

[Dispozition]

You sort of get used to it.

While I prefer using the screen in front of my keyboard, I can proficiently use a mouse on a screen 90 degrees to either side, same with keyboard. It's just a skill you pick up, especially with wireless equipment.

[MamaLuigi]

So, Did anyone else hear about the unspeakable act that is going to be committed on august 31st? 8 people are going to destroy their golden wrenches for charity and valve is going to announce globally in TF2 when each one is destroyed.

No matter what it's for or when, the destruction of a golden wrench gets a global announcement. I also think it's a great idea and they're doing a good thing, making money for a deserving foundation with something that was given for free.

Due to requests, I am going to release the map privately for testing purposes.
There are some things you should note.
Skybox: Its not finished, And it looks funky, dont tell me about it.
Invisible walls: This map is filled with them, Most notably at the waters edge and the warehouse roofs.
Lightning: Look out into the ocean and you should see lightning strike from time to time. (Just dont admire it to much or you'll get sniped.

What I want tested: Balance: This basically says all, If both teams are in equal terms how fun the map will be? Are certain classes more advantageous that others? Are the health and ammo packs evenly placed, Should I add more or remove some?

Graphical: See a hole in the wall that shouldnt be there, Take a screenshot of it and post it here.

Note: This was the first map I pakrated, I added the models and particles and materials, But I think I may have missed some model textures. So if your missing those post a screenshot and I will update it soon with the texture in the bsp.

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnupeb...oth_Harbor.rar

Play it in singleplayer and notify me of anything missing.
Other note: Due to my worry of missing texture there are no cube maps in the map. Its easy to make them though.
Go to console and type the following
sv_cheats 1
mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps

Disconnect and change map
Then go back to harbor and voila you should have cubemaps

So, who's up for a Map Test Night of this on either ChHa or probably better for the first beta test, the SHaFT?

Also, what's a cube map? I would download and find out but I don't want anything getting in the way of my YouTube uploading.

[SciurusDoomus]

Luigi, I'm happy you uploaded it. :D Also, I vote SHaFT being the test server since we can get all regulars on it and we won't have people testing a map on a server they'll never return to.

Also, I have a more recent picture of my setup.

In case you're wondering, that is a little bottle of tabasco, that is a pot of mac and cheese, and that is a Bose headset.

I was thinking of another map test night for ChHa next weekend, so if ML is okay with that we can test it in whatever state it's in then. (Note: Does not preclude other, earlier tests.)

A cubemap, to answer your question, is what governs the reflections you see in game - it handles reflections in the water's surface, in the demoman's bottle, in the sniper rifle's eyepiece, etc. Without a cubemap you see broken textures there. (Or perhaps nothing. I forget.)

So that's when I see the purple-black checkers all over reflective surfaces.

[Penguinizer]

If I get a new GPU. I'm likely to hook up my second screen. I'm just wondering how well having two screens of different sizes hooked to the same GPU works.
