[Snarkpit] Clan match

Since the clan chapter in the server sticky isn't accessible, I guess
I'll have to make a seperate post. We are due to play pmers (one of the
top HLDM clans!) tomorrow, Sunday the 24th, at 21:00 GMT. Their map is
dm_frenzy with friendly fire ON (uhoh!), ours is, as always, dm_torque
with FF off. We are playing in the SC server...

217.146.89.3:27025

Post here if you are interested in playing, and meet in #snarkpit on
IRC at 20:30 GMT. If you need maps, all the available league maps can
be found here...

Well, I'll try to be ready.

I'll give it a shot too, though we need some practice before hand..!

PS I'm not sure if I have the right one, but the dm_frenzy I just downloaded is a godawful remake- I seem to recall the original having slightly better layout, and it even looked better than this tragedy.

There is no reasoning behind some people's taste :wink: I haven't taken a look at it, but I can't say I expect to be impressed.

I'm up for having a practice, and am free tonight if anybody else wants
to have a go. We can just jump in the server and throw up a password I
guess....though I've actually no idea how to put on a password :biggrin:

FF off. Oh no, oh no, ooooh noooo: i'm a grenade wh*re :sad: . 80% of my
frages were made with grenades. Guess i'll have to be careful :smile: .

FF off is a good thing, it means we CAN'T injure each other. Its when we play their map Frenzy that we will have to be careful.

Fine, then you just stick together and try to avoid using excessive explosives and wanton combine ball destruction!

Oh, sorry ,I meant to say "on" :smile: .

I suppose I could give it a go cause I got top score three times in a row using the good old crowbar :smile:

Just make sure not to rocket teammates :S

How many times am I gonna have to say this :biggrin: In order to play for the
clan, you need to be registered. In order to register you for the clan,
I need your steam ID (which you get by typing "status" in the console
during a game). Even after that it can take some time before you are
allowed to play, though I think since this is early in the league they
aren't too bothered about that part.

Count me in! (if it is OK).

slips off shoes to use toes in computation

uhh, thats 3 a.m. central standard time, right?

/me bows out.. sorry guys.

/me fears, that since it will always be hosted upon the UK time zones, i will always be unavailable, even when home.

i suppose you will just have to lose without my assistance.

No dude! 3 PM!

you sure?

/me would do jig, except i am still the most inept at fragging :razz:

/me will wait to see how badly we lose, or how magnificently we win.. this way i will know if i could have made us lose worse, or just win by a narrow margin :biggrin:

Me considers joining despite my tendency to use explosive-based weapons and common household items against everyone I bump into.

I think you should play too. Who cares how bad you/we play? We aren't doing it for money, are we ?

I would like to play - although I fear pmers is going to be fairly tough. Should be fun though.

7pm EST, count me in, I'll try and jump in the server soon.

Err, you do know the match is tomorrow as in Sunday the 24th right?

haha, yes! brain fart, my fault

hope you guys do well

and maybe they chose that map to make you mappers go blind at bad mapping :razz:

Good luck! Wish I could help, but exams are really taking their toll on me ATM. :smile:

I just had an idea regarding the clan. You often find clans will
develope a set of custom sprays for the playing members, that all look
similar in some way but have the name and a unique image for each
player, or at least a limited set of generic clan sprays. If your up
for the idea I can do it for those members who actually play (not for
all SnarkPit members). It wouldn't be a hassle really, and it would be
something I could put in my portfolio as a sort of branding exercise.
It would also go towards part of my assessment for this session at uni.
It would also increase the image/profile of the clan, make it seem a
bit more professional.

Give me your thoughts on it.

I am not parting with my spray.. its my picture from the gallery of horror. :biggrin:

on second thought, we ALL should use them.. our own pictures would most definitely be distinctive.. if someone could figure out how to apply some text to say "Snarkpit" that would help too.

If it helps with your work, then go for it. Will Reno or I have to give a reference after? :biggrin:

LOL :biggrin: I'm cool with you doing it, and I'd be happy to use it.

/me displays my age again by acknowledging my confusion.

what are you two talking about? (Lep,Reno)

This is what they are refering to Orph. Nah guys, you wouldn't need to
provide a reference :smile: , though if you want one made up then send me a
pic that you'd want me to use. It might be a bit much to create
individuals for everyone, as I'm extremely busy at the moment, but I'd
easily have time to create maybe four generic SnarkPit sprays you could
all use, at least for now. You could just pick the one you want.[/size]

nods head sagely

ahh, ok then.

BTW, your sig is borked again. :/

Just fixed it.

I was also going to ask if there are spectators allowed during the
match. I wouldn't mind cheering our team on, that is of course if I'm
up by 6AM tommorow morning :razz: .

I would like to play, but i havent played in a while, been working on
coursework, but spose i could take a few hours out. Ill do a bit of
practice for a while to see if i can bring my self up. Count me out at
the moment. ill repost in a while if its worth me playing.

Actually, I'm not sure if I can be there for the whole thing- probably just the first 15/20 minutes (i.e. first game) :sad:

Quaver, you aren't registered for the clan. If you want to register,
post your steam ID (get it by typing "status" in the console during a
game) in the clan chapter of the server thread and I can add you.

Agent Smith, no spectating I'm afraid :sad: HL2DM doesn't really have any
system that allows for that in place, so you'd have to join as a proper
player and just sit there dead the whole time (which is what the match
admins have to do).

errr, can someone tell me how to find/connect to the snarkpit irc channel. Never use irc - just downloaded mirc. If nothing else, at least pm me with the server password if I'm playing.

Its fairly straightforward mate :smile: Basically all you need to do is run
mIRC, select any "Quakenet" server from the server selection list, and
once you are connected type "/j #snarkpit". Once your in people will be
able to talk you thought how to set things up for simplifying and
automating the process. In fact I think you can probably just click the
"IRC" link at the bottom of every page on the snarkpit, and it should
launch mIRC and connect you.

Same goes for me. :sad:

[edit]

Oh, you replied at the same time as I did.

even my stupid ass figured it out. i knew about the quakenet part, so all i did was connect to one and then i searched out "snarkpit"

surprised me when it connected. :smile:

Just a quick reminder. The match is to be played in the SC server, with the following IP...

217.146.89.3:27025

It will be passworded, but I don't know the password just yet. We are
playing dm_torque, they are playing dm_frenzy, so if you are intending
on playing make sure you have both maps. Get in IRC ASAP if you are
interested and we are going to have a warm up in the snarkpit server at
20:30 GMT. Only 4 people can play, so we'll decide in the warm up who
is to play. We are playing for fun, but this is our first match and its
against a very tough opponent, so I say we pick who does best in the
warmup for our lineup.

i downloaded dm_frenzy, and extracted the meterials into the meterials/dm_frenzy folder, but its not working

when i run the map all i see is lame lighting, some ugly wireframe like stuff, and alot of purple/black squares

i have had this problem for... weeks at least. i have found no solution. i would be curious on how to resolve this situation :/

The clan match is on too late for me as it's a school night :sad:

I wish you good luck!

/me slaps self

i didnt make it in time >:E

/me keeps slapping self

The materials should go in the "materials/frenzy" folder, not dm_frenzy.

Well the match is over, and we got humped :biggrin: Torque had its ups and
downs and we didn't do too badly, but they still certainly proved
themselves the stronger team. We were going to play frenzy for their
map, but for me and another player it was buggy (same problem as rebar)
so they agreed to play on lockdown instead. This was complete ownage to
be honest. I crashed out twice, and I think Oski and one of the pmers
players dropped also. If you took all my kills across all joins, I
doubt I'd have reached double figures :biggrin: Fun game anyway, and good to
get our first match out the way.

I'm locking this thread now, so discuss anything else related to the match or clan in the clan sticky guys.
