Hi,

I want to be in the clan - I'm a decent player (you can play against me on SnarkPit's server). Here's my steam id: Steam_0:1:5752651.

TAU neutrino.

  • Fixed a number of connection problems to the backend of VAC2 (Valve's anti-cheat technology for game servers). VAC2 currently only runs on servers in the beta group, but will be active for all servers very soon.



Just wondering whether the snarkpit server will use vac2 too or not.

Success, to a point. I now have an FTP program, and have access to the server. I am going to experiment a bit to be sure that I can indeed upload maps then after I am confident I will be open for business. Sounds silly, but I am not as confident in myself as my Compatriots are in themselves or them of me.

I will update this in a while.. If I however bork the server in the mean time.. My apologies.

Update:

Mental note, you must reset server to activate changes.

After the recent update by Valve/Steam, the server reset the maps back to those 3.. I re-uploaded the whole list so the admin can change to all the maps in the rotation now..

My confidence builds

[EDIT] there seems to be a map in the cycle that will not load, if any of the admin have any info on this please clue me in.

This map is in the cycle/rotation, but fails to load.

I think it's dm_departure. The mapcycle always resets before switching to this map. I don't know how the thing works so you FTP wielding gods are on your own smiley .

[edit]

Oh, you found it yourself. Me didn't notice. Perhaps try changing it's position in the mapcycle list?

No restarting the server shouldn't have any effect on the files stored on it. The only problem related with restarting the server is that by default it loads up dm_steamlab before returning to the normal map cycle, but it doesn't (as far as I know) have any long term negative effects.

I have been working on the "Message Of The Day"

Can someone or someone's please log on and tell me if its functioning?

I have yet to remove the pink checkers, but the message now scrolls properly on my system.

I need to know if the images line up and whatnot.

thanx guys.

Does the "New post" snark thingy now work for anyone on a sticky topic?

If it does, can someone tell me why we even have a server no one seems to all fired in a hurry to comment on?

I am not talking just about today either, many posts go days before someone finally decides to comment. :/

*sighs*

maybe I am just tired, but this has been bugging me for a while now.

/me goes back to bed before....

I REALLY need someone from here to log in.. No one at the server will comment whenever I try to talk to them about this.

Besides the fact that damned few Snarkpit members frag our own server? Not much..

All I really need is for someone to log in and read the MOTD and let me know if it looks OK.. Nothing more.

I need to know specifically,


  • Does the scroll arrows work in spite of them being pink?
  • Do the images align properly?
  • Are there any typo's?
  • Are the colors OK?
  • Do you think any more news/info needs added?

My concern is only about my poor HTML skills only.. All I need to know is the message looks OK.

The scroll arrows work.

The images look fine.

Maybe should say "Our Admins" instead of "Our Admin"

Also -- the first sentence is kind of awkward, might want to change it to "The official Snarkpit server!" Instead of "The official server of The Snarkpit."

The colors look fine.

Maybe you should put the rules first. That's all that people usually want to read. Admins and mapcycle (and contest info) should go below the rules.

If it looks okay on your screen it should look okay on any - I can't see there being similar issues to websites with different browser issues and what have you. Obviously the subjective issues need different people to check it out, but if it actually WORKS for you, it works for everything most likely.

Our Admin is plural bud.. Admins in not a true word I don't think.

And, thanx for looking anyway Duncan but, even though I tend to agree with you, I have run into times where a web page worked on my machine and no one else's.. somehow I think it worked only because it was on it.

better safe than sorry.. if its to much effort however, I am sure some others would look instead <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

'Administrators' is a real plural word, hence 'admins' is one too since it's just shortened (unless you're applying your ridiculous American "mathematics ? math" logic :P)

Don't f**king confuse me.. Is it Admin or not?

It has been my whole life, but... If its Admins over there, and this is a UK server, then it needs to be spelled correctly for the area.
