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 :smile:

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 :smile: , 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 :sad:

CLs

gwil, c'mon, everyone knows that you were sent away to have the baby in a convent. :rolleyes:

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

Need I say more?

edit:

I am a total newbie....so....HELLO THAR!

lol. ouch. sounds like fishy is jealous of your recent pregnancy.

I think I qualify as a new face around here. I came in durring your absense anyway.

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. :sad:

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 :smile: 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.

tell ya what sir gwilliam, you move it to a dod:s server, and if i can get a latency under 50, ill move in.....hang my hat, so to speak...."and he shall sing the praises of the invisible skinless one and his minions..." :biggrin:

Doc B.... :dodgy:

just wondering....this is prolly an old question, but what about being able to request our map betas being tested there....? if you already do, forget i asked... :wink:

Doc B... :dodgy:

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.

No Gwil, someones been adding maps that aren't standard and aren't on the list on snarkpit... damn them. I blame this SSMMDD guy you got!

---

-[Better to be Honest than Kind]-

He's got nowt to do with the server :razz: 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.

Hey all, as i can see most of you are viewing this topic...

I just wanted to tell you all that ill be leaving my country for 10 days, im in a holiday atm, i didnt want to open a whole topic for it, so i hope you dont mind telling you all bye in here :smile:

See ya all in 10 days :biggrin:

My words exactly. I'm one of those poor fools... But I didn't have much choice as I was on a dial-up back then...

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.

No Gwil, someones been adding maps that aren't standard and aren't on the list on snarkpit... damn them. I blame this SSMMDD guy you got!

Yea that SSMMDD guy banned me from the snarkpit channel once, of course, I was being kind of a jerk.

Heh, well when any of you mods have the time, could you please take a look at my submitted tutorial?

Thanks.

DoD:S Server all the way, gwil.
I really enjoy playing the full cycle (yes, with Argentan. A lot of people seem to hate the map, I love it !)

I love Argentan as well.

Before the server changes, could we test out a new DM map I JUST finished?

Posting And You

plus I think it's the most popular :kitty:

That's actually a reason not to make a CSS server IMHO. What good is yet
another CSS server? HL2CTF or HL2DM PRO all the way.

a dod:s server would get my vote, and probably some of my cash if it was needed.

Good to see you back Gwil. :smile:

To all the new members, I can affirm Gwil's claim. He was indeed gone from April till December.

How can you know for sure unless he was visiting you? Jon, you've been warned about seducing members of this site before, and especially ones who aren't me.

Mind your manners, and my diapers. Just in case it has escaped you Dave, our story is progressing. Slow, but well so far. If you would like to remain anally retentive, mind your manners. :heee:

Good to see you back Gwil.

Quoted for truth :smile:

As for HL2:DM, I had never had any doubt it would die, since it isn't a real game. It's an SDK example to build multiplayer mods off of... released only to appease the whiners in the HL2 community who wanted DM.

I might actually play DoD:S if there's a SnarkPit server. I would have suggested EscapedTurkey for the host but I realized that the servers are hosted in Dallas, TX, not Europe :razz:

o

well...

HL2DM: Dying

HL2CTF: Dying

CS:S: Well, I don't like CS, but the server would have players on it

DoD:S: Still havn't had a chance to try the Source port of DoD
