Appears fine and dandy (I presume that it is the message that appears in the scrolly box when you join?). The scroll bar is pink and black chequered.

? quoting Leperous
'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 )

I cannot seem to locate any reference to the word "Admins"

I do not doubt you, but I also do not feel that the world replaced every reference to the word to suit the "American" mindset.

Find me a link to the word.. I will however switch it to Admins upon my return from this next run. :/

On a side note, the spell checker does not recognize it as mis-spelled.

I'm not sure if it is a correct term, but it just sounds right pluralized...

Hahah ok, let me reword it. It just seems right with that "s" at the end.

FFS, i'm close to having a seizure here! Isn't it ONE Admin TWO Admins as in ONE Administrator TWO Administrators? Or are we talking of something else ??? ?

My map dm_ortho is now up (thanks Reno) on a temporary run, but hopefully you guys will rally behind it and get it on there permanently.

Thanks and have fun!

I would like to augment the server rotation today IF POSSIBLE!

As such, I need recommendations for uploading. I was considering Keved's new map or maps.. and possibly the Gasworks remake..

We need maps that will support the 16 player base.. I feel that maps like Overlook are not suited BUT was out voted last time.. It has been in the rotation long enough and unless I am out voted again, it will be one of the removed.

Suggest away guys.. NO PROMISES however.. I will not put a 16 player killbox on..

Remind me again, why do I bother posting in this thread?

nearly a whole day, and nothin.. :/

Look guys, I hate being in charge as my idea of what needs done rarely coincides with those that be.. I ask because I genuinely want feedback. It protects my own ass.. BUT, if I need to make these choices without such I can.. I will not tolerate belated crying however.

Consider that when you do not reply.

Thats wierd; I haven't noticed this thread having any new replies in it for ages! I normally read all the threads marked as having unread posts, but this one has either slipped my notice or keeps getting unmarked for some reason.

By overlook I assume you mean overwatch? I normally quite enjoy the map and personally I don't think it should be removed, but I wouldn't be heartbroken to see it go either. I don't think its overly necessary to pick maps that support 16 players well, as lets face it, the server hasn't been full in a long long time. Changing the rotation won't see that change either - HL2DM simply isn't very popular and many of the people that initially jumped on it (hence the early days being busy) have become somewhat disillusioned with its many problems.

You think its a bug?

Anywho's, I am primarily interested in maps that will encourage the old HLDM style fragging. I hate maps that are so full of props that they are quickly reduced to a bunch of items being hurled around. I would like people to consider maps that force/encourage you to frag/stalk/hunt your prey.

Overwatch is one of these hurl fest maps. It starts out well enough, but in minutes everyone has desks or sinks flying all over it, with one dillweed up top firing RPG rounds..

Anywho's... I didn't realize that the server was defunct so I only suggested larger maps because I was told initially that only larger maps would be considered for rotation... I have a s**tload of smaller types..

Anywho's.. Now I am concerned that this thread is being overlooked because of some stinkin bug.. :/

Then we are back to 2,442 members not commenting.. I was happier with a bug possibility.

Gasworks has a really bad +showbudget if I recall correctly. It struggled on my machine, which, when I played it was one of the best on the 'Pit.. Consider it wisely!

Been days, and I haven't altered anything. Its not as if I am chomping at the bit. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

I will look into this. If I recall it played smooth as silk on my old machine, let alone my new one which has a smaller card than yours if I recall.

I was really hoping for some suggestions.. Perhaps, broaden the criteria to include maps not made by Snarkpit members?

No one seems overly excited here. In fact I would expect more excitement in threads about hemorrhoids.

To Members with FULL ADMIN STATUS:

I would like to disable the maps download from the server. Not to be inconvenient, but I have chosen a couple maps to add that are a hefty download unzipped... Not so bad zipped, but would cripple the server pings to try to attain them by connection downloading.

Please tell me how to disable the option, or better yet, take a moment and do it yourself..

Thanx Orph

When I am finished uploading (a task at 40kbps) the server rotation will be as such:

dm_np_refinery - Keved,
dm_torque - Yak_Fighter,
dm_lockdown - VALVe
dm_island17 - Mazemaster,
dm_hydro_b2 - Agent Smith,
dm_rebar_b6 - Ferret,
dm_swamplight_final - Finger,
dm_powerhouse - Wolf
dm_veikko - ishbog
dm_pit2 - Devious
dm_lambda_bunker - Atrocity
dm_diesel_redux - PiTiFUL
dm_cliffed - BicycleRepairMan
assimilation - cyrus258

If you have any complaints, keep them to yourself, you were asked and you failed to reply.

I also have others to add, but... they are not Snakpit member made so i am awaiting permission to expand beyond that parameter first.

I know that I have been asking a lot recently. I need someone to play on the server for a bit and check to see that the maps are rotating properly.. I noticed at least one glitch tonight. I dunno when, where or how, but Steamlab was back, and that only happens when the server borks.

I will be away for a week or more so I am counting on you guys to inform Reno, or Lep if the server goes bad.
