Now I know that from time to time I am a bit of a pain, but unless you guys are embarrassed in some way, I think you should update the message that loads with the server to include all your assistants.

There are currently only 3 admins listed.

Also, my slide bar is all pink checkers, I cannot seem to scroll down below "Rules:" .. Is there more message below?

I don't mind the pink checkers, cause I think I can pretty much envision the rules, but others might say they didn't know if they cannot scroll down. :/

Assuming I have the ability to alter said message. I think it would be overstepping my authority to do so without permission. I have not looked into it so I leave it to those whom can to alter things.

BTW, I have only used "Change Map" and it worked just fine, so everything seems peachy.

I still do not know why I was kicked out last night however.

MOTD = Message of the day

The pink checkerboard on the scrollbar, and the lack of being able to scroll, is a bug in the game I guess. It happens on most servers I've seen, and I don't see any way to fix it smiley Only reason the list hasn't been updated with all admins is because nobody has gotten around to it I guess, I'll do it when I get a chance. We need to try and keep the MOTD quite short in order to fit in one screen to avoid the bugs I mentioned, but I'll need to tinker with the layout a little in order to achieve that.

By the way, why did you post this in the "theme suggestions" chapter?

What does everyone think of dm_runoff? Personally, I don't care too much for it. Connectivity seems pretty bad - it's too big to run around on foot. While all the junk in the canals helps, I couldn't help but think the map felt a bit rushed, like it was an excuse just to release a canal-themed map. Although I hate to whine about Valve maps this much, I really didn't like this one. (I was happy to see that my soulless mimicry of the canals style was pretty accurate though)

But, seeing as it's official, I assume you'll put it in the rotation anyway? *shrug*

Hmm, dm_runoff doesn't seem to be finished- there are several obvious graphical glitches, not to mention terrible connectivity as a result of someone forgetting to build a doorway between the two ends of the canals (check out the "hidden area" that links the two which you can only reach by noclipping)

What, by listing maps that haven't been posted on this website? <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/wtf.gif">

BTW, I just inspected the wonderful map called dm_runoff. Pants. Its BAD. I can't believe this map is VALVe made (is it?).
Ok, for a start the map has a very bad layout and many imperfections. For one, I managed to get into the background by sprint-jumping off a catwalk over a fence. No player_clip brush, no anything to stop the player from falling outside the game area. The textures are pretty repetitive too. What's with that concrete texture on that cylinder thing, which I assume is a large oiltank or something? Another thing that bothered me is the light_environment which doesn't go right with the sky nor with the sun; too yellowish. What else? That rock wall looks looks like it were man made, the props are scattered around as if they were caught in a tornado and, since most of the battle goes on outside, the players just kill eachother in a line, in a matter of speaking. I guess I am being a bit harsh but being an official map I had higher expectations. I usualy think an official map should be out of the ordinary, to make other mappers look up to it and be inspired by it. DM_runoff is just plain. I'd give it a 6/10. Harsh? Maybe, but if it were made by an amature mapper it would have been worth at least 7/10. Shame.

I've taken dm_underpass off, and dm_runoff won't go on, simply because it's rubbish. Surely they've made a mistake with this map, in addition to what we've all already pointed out- it's nothing like crossfire!!

They never said it was going to be like crossfire though, its just the airstrike in the bunker that is the comparison between the two. Andrei, I think 6/10 is far too generous to be honest, the connectivity is a joke. Looks not bad, though nothing special. Interior bathroom looks like a very poor attempt to copy lockdown's shower area however smiley I can't believe the distance you have to travel from the canal ends before you get a choice of route, and there are only about 3 times you can "switch" route if you travel from one end of the map to the other. Quite an abysmal effort, and no way is it going on the server.

Good call removing underpass as well, caused quite a few crashes apparently. I'd be inclined to remove resistance and morbid as well, and possibly add in a few others from outside the site, but I know Gwil was keen on keeping it to snarkpit maps.

We will definately need to start a clan night, but I think we should discuss that in the clan chapter of the thread. Orph, theme suggestions are meant to be suggestions for organised events like playtesting nights, interwebsite wars, etc... Doesn't really matter that you put it here (we still read it after all smiley), just seemed a bit out of place. No matter smiley
