I don't know if you got my answer in the other section Gwil, but you can put up Hydro now if it doesn't destroy the server. It's virtually complete, with the only tiny glitches that exist being ones that don't actually affect gameplay. I won't have a chance to fix them for a little while as I'm just starting my third/final year of study and the work is already coming thick and fast, so you may as well put it up for now.

If you can run it with a decent ping then its all yours .

If you want i can host all maps at my site , just send me a link via email when ever you update the map rotation, and ill host the maps, this way you wont have to down load from filecrapplanet or ign or www.losersite.com, and all the maps will be in a nice little page for everyone to view.

note: my provider sucks ass a lot, so the site may be down at times


I'll politely decline then, if it's all the same to you I'm gonna chat to Lep and see what we can fix up for this, so don't worry. Thanks for the offer though!

Oh man, there's goes my Saturday morning sleep in. Oh well, it'll be worth it to play some laggy HL2DM with my buds .

I'd also like to take this opportunity, if there is going to be a team based Tournament organised, to reserve the name "The Lagasaurs" for my team . [addsig]

..but the password?

just kidding! love the server great work gwil.
Message submitted 7 minutes after original post:

I'd be happy to act as east coast admin, I am free week nights for the most part.

I'd like to see an "all night playtest" night. Where we make a beta map pack and play test all the maps, maybe 5 or 6. The rules could be:

  • Creator must be present when his map is on.
  • Voice on, and codec turn up so we can chat in real time.
  • lower damge (if this is possible) or even 'dead rounds' to look at the map
  • locked server
  • try and keep a small crowd, 16-10 so things dont get too hecktic.
  • kick or short term ban if you dont want to play along (i.e. killing people durring a dead round)
I know the best thing for me is to play my map and hear people talking about all the problems.

It would be super cool if we could find/make some kind of server mod that let players flag problem spots.

[edit] this was ment for the theme suggestion thread, could you move it admin? **

A ping filter would be a good idea. All those with a ping higher than 250 should be automatically kicked. There was a guy yesterday on the server with a whooping 285 (+/-100 !) ping that slowed us all down and made the server behave like a powerpoint document.

you should have a reserved spot for yourself, Gwil. or at least a reserved spot for one admin when you get admins sorted out. i realise you don't want it to look like you're pulling the old 'it's my ball, so i'm getting a game' routine, but the sad fact remains, servers need policing. [addsig]

Yeah, I'd love to see some 2vs2- how about you and me vs. the masses, Gwil-m0ng?

Also feel free to give me server FTP details, I'm happy to keep it updated with maps until you get back- I now have broadband in the holiday, so will hopefully be in there quite a lot!

We had a "currently" link at the [DRS] homepage once. it was not foolproof and we eventually dropped it, but i would like to see if its possible here. this would tell me at a glance if the server is full of people i know, or just people taking advantage of the lower pings.

the currently link can/could show things like
1) current map
2) how long till next rotation begins.
3) people online.

I don't think a ping filter is a good idea. It's ok if your a European member of the site, but don't forget a major portion of the members are in the US or elsewhere. Doing that would be super elitist. It would majorly blow if we finally get the server and most members aren't even allowed to join.

Server stats, including something like that as well as keeping player's frag totals and things, are being looked into. Unfortunately I don't believe there are many decent server plugins for source based games just yet, and those that do exist are normally made for CS:S as opposed to HL2DM

EDIT: This was meant to be a reply to the banter chapter; something is definately amiss

could someone please explain to me how my 180 ping hurts playing for anyone but me?

i do not understand this "ping filter" idea.

sounds to me like people with already great pings want even more advantage

i played HL1 at 400+ for 2 years. i endured the taunts from the less than 100 crowd for that whole time. i got pretty fed up with it to be honest. look at my posted screen score. i didn't do to shabby at 180+ ping.

higher pings force you to play better IMO, and i think everyone should have to do it till they become good at it.

whenever i see a high kill total and a low ping, i just blow them off.

Hmmm... I might be getting broadband soon - 256k. Bearing in mind I live in the UK any ideas what sort of ping I'd get? I would NOT be too pleased if I suddenly found myself getting kicked off a server just because I don't have an uber-fast connection.

as close as you are to the source, i would guess far below 100.

I think we need "Team" frags. somehow it doesn't set right to be killed by a snarkpit member :/

on the plus side, it is so nice to see [Snarkpit] among the top slots most frags

sadly, my deaths are putting them there

I was going to say that going for 256k rather than something higher really isn't worth the saving. Broadband prices are pretty decent right now, best to get at least 512k.

Funny you should say that ReNo... it looks like I might be getting 512k anyway!

Here's an idea for the server. Maybe from time to time have a team match with SnarkPit members vs. non-members. Having said that, would it cost extra to play team dm?
