As ReNo is on his well deserved holidays, I thought i'd pop up and say hi to the new members.

I act as moderator for all the forums and new content (tutorials, mirrors etc), and run the vastly underused (!) Snarkpit server. If you have any problems, please contact me via PM/IRC (quakenet, #snarkpit).

If you're wondering where I sprang from, I was on vacation from April 05 til Christmas <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

So hi if you don't know me, and feel free to pester me any time. Despite the illusion, I am far from a busy man!

Hi Gwil!

I'd play the server more but I die like no tomorrow and kill like tomorrow.

I wish I had that long of a vacation...

Hey,

Just started mapping bout a half year ago, and hopefully in the near future will be ready to release my HL2 DM map, if all turns out well.

This site has helped greatly in my strides to become a decent mapper, but more Source tourials would always be welcome.

As for the server I occationally pop in but as I am located in Canada I don`t get the best of pings

Gwil...have you considered opening a server on HL2DMProMod? I played it once and I will never again play HL2DM.

Hi Gwil. Being in Australia my ping on the pit server has never been below 300, and I've only once gone on there when others were there. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Gwil I reckons the server isn't being used because of poor administration of it- someone keeps changing the map rota without altering the rota displayed on the site!

Perhaps, but the fact that HL2DM is becoming less and less popular might also be a matter worth discussing. With mods like HL2CTF, good ol' HL2DM doesn't have a very bright future IMO.

Nah, that's the server crashing. If it crashes, then HL2DM in it's infinite wisdom decides to revert to a default mapcycle and override everything that has gone before it. This includes dm_steamlab, which is the map that makes the server crash in the first place.

So there <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> As for the server being perpetually empty, I am considering moving it to a DoD:S server provided it has popular support among the community. HL2DM is dying a slow but sure death. How many people here still play it regularly? I know I don't, that's for sure.

I can't play any Steam games right now, but if I could I'd definitely play DoD:S there.

You are Dr Brasso - i'll stick up a thread about some plans for it later, ie times/days of the week etc.

Cool!

Well if you intend on moving to something else, wouldn't it be wiser to move to a free mod? Think of those poor fools who bought retail.

CS:S maybe Andrei, but either way I can't do anything until the contract is over. Also, DoD and CS are both a hike up in price whatever happens.

Whether I can even afford this again is another issue as well. Overdrafts and impending student payments make real life more of a headache than usual.

He's got nowt to do with the server :P He's the head admin at an IRC bot network i,m part of - what are the maps?

I need to find their names and sort it out. dm_steamlab is the only one in non rotation to my knowledge, and that's an official Valve map anyway.

There aren't really any mods right now that I'd play. I'd get on a DoD:S server though. As long as you don't put restrictions on the classes.
