I agree with the manipulator dominating the game, I think HL1DM is way more.... intense in terms of using the gauss and longjump to bunnyhop trought the whole level quickchanging weapons and owning everyone.

But HL2DM is fun .

The prison map is far too small for the numbers of players that most servers seem to be hosting, endless spawn & die cycle with 12+ people :/

i mostly only played the smaller servers because of the lag.the 24 player sever that i did play was waaaayyy too crowded on the prison map, and the lag was terrible.

on a different note: i tried throwing all the phys objects on the roof in the city level... people started complaining about the lag more... wonder why? in any case it was in the name of science, sort of. it was pretty funny though, the roof was almost too crowded to move. (note: i dont do this sort of stuff regularly)

Can anyone make a server or something just for us? It's probably loads more fun with a select few people that loads of random people on a crap server. For the very few times I got to play well, it was great fun. I love the way you can catch the objects people throw at you, it's so annoyingly fun

I was disappointed with the maps. They are good and all but don't stand out to me as great DM maps. They could've easily pumped out 2 or 3 original ones, instead of taking them from the game and changing them a bit. Aside from that and the lag, hl2dm is indeed great, and I expect many a great map from y'all

I was just playing there and had a great time. I was a bit disappointed with the small scale of the maps, but that's a minor complaint. Seeing people getting slaughtered with toilets and filing cabinets will never cease to elicit a laugh from me. The weapons pack decent punch, but I felt the slow crossbow was a letdown as combined with high ping and erratically moving opponents it's hard to kill folk.

I'm eagerly awaiting some of the large quality maps that will come out of here and elsewhere, because it's very hectic at the moment, which isn't the style I enjoy most.

I don't think I'll enjoy it in the long run but it is fun for a laugh. I just made a LAN server to look around the maps in peace, and decided to build the best wall I could in the stairwell on overwatch. Managed to get both cars, the big garbage can, and every table and filing cabinet in the map into that little space Everything got locked together at the end, so I couldnt move things at all by shooting them or using explosives

I would not mind hosting a HL2 DM server for Snarkpit members, I have a T1 at work and have permission to use it as long as i don't use an overt amount of our bandwidth. Also i have high-speed Satelite internet, but it's REALLy laggy with games. If someone can find out how to make it not laggy i could host there too.

I don't think it's possible to make satellite non-laggy.

 Re: ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by ReNo on Wed Dec 1st at 8:37pm 2004

Satellite is a big no no for games due to how it distributes data. Rather than giving a constant flow of a small amount of data, which is how most methods work, it gives large amounts of data in bursts. This is unsuitable for gaming because it needs to be getting frequent updates about player locations and the like, as opposed to infrequent but large amounts of data.

I'm sure if you could host a HL2DM server for the snarkpit a fair few of us would use it, but I'd recommend you set a small player limit (8 or something) and possibly password it so you don't get loads of randoms popping in and abusing it.

how does one go about changing the name, player limit, password, etc.? does this require a dedicated server? does a dedicated server require its own steam id with hl2 installed?

I think you can change some of that stuff in the console, commands like max_players and stuff like that. I dunno though, there should be a way to do it in create server, but I guess that it's so laggy that valve thought not to add that kind of support for non-dedicated servers.

I'm pretty sure the console will work though.

I believe any steam account can create a dedicated server, you just need to download the source dedicated server which should be listed in your games list. By running that you should get options to set the map cycle, max players, etc...

unfortunately, if i were to start a dedicated server it would be using my steam ticket, no problem... until i start hl2dm, because that invalidates the ticket in use by the dedicated server, after a while it will ask for a login for the dedicated server, therefore making it impossible for me to have a dedicated server without being the snarkpit martyr. oh well, who can do it? someone else!

provided it is possible to have a dedicated server w/o the game installed(which im guessing its not), if i had both my computers running(my 15" monitor died a while back) i could have a dedicated server and play in it too. but this is not the case, oh well.

If you're going to play it at the same time you start a normal server.

This rocks, and there is nothing more fun than playing catch with a filing cabnet for a minute until you get tired, throw it out of reach, and then gun down the guy. I also enjoyed blowing up explosive barrels people were carrying around like fools. The lag is not too bad on smaller servers, and even at its worst it's nothing that can't be handled. I'll be playing this instead of CSS for at least the next three weeks...

Three weeks of only two maps?

I'd go with a few weeks of not playing it, and waiting for all the delicious new maps to come out! ^^ Hopefully Valve will release some tasty new DM ones, and not just have us regular folk map for ourselves. Is anyone thinking of remaking an original hldm map?
