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

I got kicked by slot reservation :(

That means it's working :D I approve of this. I'll be happy to wait, if I don't get approved for a slot.

[kpenguin]

I don't think I could join when there's 23 people, even if I'm on the list. I'd feel guilty for kicking someone out.

At 23, I think it just holds a slot; you can't join that one unless you have a reserve.

As long as those huge bodies of water have some barrels, islands, crates, etc. in which to cross them, then they're fine. I would make a semi-pathway that curves around the center so that going via a landish route is a much longer distance than just swimming.

Also, what are the two small buildings in the corners going to be used for? They're out of the way from getting to the final point.

The small buildings in the corners are the spawn rooms, Although I think I have to rework them abit more, I may add a man-made island with health/ammo for some sort of purpose to go there.

Ah. I saw the colored buildings as spawn rooms. Then it makes more sense now.

Hello everyone! I stumbled into this thread recently and I would have never thought this site had a great TF2 community . I've been playing in the server for a while now too and it is one of the best servers I've played in! This site has really made this summer a great one.

...it shouldn't be doing that any more. Djinn asked me to turn off slot reservations last week, so I did.

I shall investigate.

I wasn't complaining! I was saying it worked :P Ah well.

That's not the point. The point is that that shouldn't happen, because he told it not to.

There's an exploit in pl_upwards where blu can shoot out of spawn during setup.

You might want to keep a close eye on that.

(If you take the leftmost path up to the gate, and look up, there should be a hole in the roof that you can jump up out of. You can then proceed to rain rockets and pipes out from spawn.)

Is there anything that can be done about the lack of backstab animation/noise on SHaFT? It really harshes the spying mellow.

After watching you play spy, I can't see how the lack of backstab animation/noise is a problem.

But seriously, I believe the issue involves the disabled crits, which are disabled because SHaFT models comp settings.

You are gonna add proper water textures right? Cuz purple water just ain't right.

Looks good. I would add a set of crates/barrels/whatever you want in front of the pool where it looks like there's more space to give some cover and more flair to the room. Right now it looks too open.

Nice work so far, the map is coming along greatly. The warehouse seems a bit tight, but I suppose it's more of a place to run in and grab some health than to actually camp in all day. Curious to see what the final map layout is.

I hope there are a lot of different ways to get behind the enemy, that's what I enjoy doing every game.

Usually the water textures is fixed last, although it does seem appropriate for the radioactive water.

Radioactive water should be blue.

[Oh no]

Radioactive water should be blue.

lol it should be a brighter blue then normal though like glowing blue if possible lol

Today I learned that if I go pubstomping, I can top the scoreboards as pyro.

When I come to ChHa, I get about an even KDR if I'm lucky, and still end up at the bottom of the scoreboard.

If I log onto SHaFT, I'm lucky if I get a single kill.

You guys are magnificent bastards, all of you.

hah on SHaFT i can get kills...but the annoying part is snipers and spys...they always end up dominating me when i play heavy lol

Djinn, Potato, somebody, please take note of this. ChHa isn't a fun place where we can all play together anymore. 4 reserve slots simply isn't going to cut it. I know we're getting a second server, but until then, can we up the reserve slots to, say, 12? Or even 24?

yea im not in the reserved slots but when im in its kinda lame most of the time i dont get to play with the people i consider "regulars" so we all end up on SHaFT to play which doesnt bother me but i would like to play with regulars and new people on the ChHa server...

Well, yeah. Your big, shiny, bald, fatty-fat-fat head makes a perfect target for my boolet.

lol yea and when i try sniping...i fail to get any kills...well unless i go around with the shiv and make people die of periods hahahahahaa also what ive noticed is...the only 2 classes i cant play very well are the 2 that are my weakness...spy and sniper

Why is it that sometimes, when a round starts, I'm stuck at the overview and pressing , doesn't take me to class selection? The only cure for that screen seems to be to disconnect, after which the server is, of course, full.

[MamaLuigi]

Time for some screenshot dumps, Thanks to the swamp theme I finally got the lighting I wanted for my map plus some other neat props. I added the access to the roof.

That's happened to me a couple times, and reconnecting seemed to be the only option. Try entering "retry" in the console; it should reconnect you to the server instantly.

This looks really cool. Is everything from SDK or did you do some of your own modeling?

Its from the SDK, With addition to the tf2maps.net swamp theme.
I can't model worth crap.

So you did all of this drag-and-drop with SDK? Very nice work.

So having not played for two weeks I am now pretty awful at tf2. I assume the trend will be similar with KF and l4d2.

Don't worry chap, playing games is like riding a unicorn. You never forget.

You have ridden a unicorn before, right?
