The server always resets before switching to the last map in the mapcycle list. The last map happens to be assimilation, and that's shame cause it's really a very nice map. I suggest adding dm_runoff at the end of the mapcycle list.

Exactly. It's a map no-one in their right mind would play, so it's perfect for the job of ending the mapcycle list instead of assimilation (given the fact that the server resets before switching to the last map -- which would be runoff -- I think it's a pretty good solution).

Hey guys -- my map dm_ortho is on the server but not in rotation, but I just voted it into play a little while ago and it drew 8-9 people at the peak. It was quite fun and I got some good feedback, and the people who played it seemed to enjoy it.

I don't think you need to worry as no-one would mind if you add the [snarkpit] to your name as this wasn't originaly a clan tag but a recognision sign.

And *ahem* "decent player"? This guy is ranked #1 in the snarkpit server ranking-board is he not?

Would it not be better to inform me exactly where I screwed the pooch instead?

You guys gotta bare in mind that I am learning this as I go. If there is a problem, then inform me where and how to remedy it.

To my knowledge, I did everything right, but noticed that the server did indeed reset itself at least once before I left out on this run.

I would truly appriceate any effort on your parts to assist me on any problems you come upon.

So is there anything like a SnarkPit clan? I want to be in... But it's pretty hard because I'm getting a lot of invites from other clans... And I'm a mapper (well, not a good one, but still) so I want to be in this clan <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

We have an unofficial/non-pressure clan. Just add [Snarkpit] in front of your handle.

Dunno about anyone else, but I use it every time I frag.. No matter the server.

Predominantly.. Snarkpit, Diner and Old Fart's

We are very inactive at the moment, and as Orph said, its very informal. You are more than welcome to use the Snarkpit tag - you play on the server as much as anybody and you're a member of the site. If you wish to join one of the other clans you are getting invites from, and stilll use the Snarkpit tag and have the opportunity to play in matches we have, you are free to do so. I don't see a problem with people who are in other clans still using our tag provided they are members of the site. We are too inactve to expect people to dedicate themselves to us, particularly right now since its summer and gaming isn't top of too many people's agendas.

No-one did anything wrong, this bug seems to exist from the very beginning of the snarkpit server. And I have no idea what could be causing it.

Good point, Dark Tree. Update the rotation! Advertise the server!

Either way I won't be able to pay the server renewal this time next March/April. I have extended my travel plans to include staying in Perth and working to accumulate money for a return leg via Asia/Europe, so will be cash strapped.

Will it be worth getting a renewal or what? You guys are the eyes, ears and admin of this wonderful little box so feedback and suggestions on popularity/mods etc etc need to be put down here... I'm on the wrong side of the world to home so my contribution is only limited.

Discuss...

I hardly ever play on the server, but that's just me. I don't play a lot on-line anyway.

So actually, I can't even tell if there's people playing often or not... how's things going on the server, people? Anyone still playing?

I haven't been in the server in about a month now <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> I never get around to online gaming anymore. I play BF2 about once a week if its lucky and thats really my only online gaming time. I don't even know if its at all popular, I've been a bit lax at checking it these days. I used to check in via HLSW's remote admin controls and ask the people in there if everything was working okay, but its been weeks since I last checked. My apologies good owner, I'll try and be a little more proactive about keeping my eye on it.

I suggest making the server active in the ProMod. It is 20xs better than HL2DM. It is the only DM I will play now. The website is:

http://hl2dmpro.com

It is similar to HL2DM with a few exceptions:

-It has the LongJump Module
-Gauss Cannon/Tau
-Various other HL1DM implementations (turn off the red dot/aiming on RPG)
-Weapon binding in menu
-Shows timeleft always on maps
-Built-in vote system for every server (choose your own maps/time length)
-Other Stuff

It is really nice and still in beta, but it needs some more servers! The K-9 clan has basically the only active servers, but if the Snark Pit put one up, it could seriously add some attraction to the mod. It wouldn't even PLAY DM anymore if it wasn't for this mod...try it out at least once!

Since the last update, commands like rank statsme top10 thetime and admin don't seem to work on the server anymore. Or on any other server for that matter. Anyone else having this issue ?
