Server improvments/ issues

[kamikaze_bad_ass]

i agree with cog on the zm server there are some maps that need to be removed cause they crash the server and some are just boring as hell like lost world (GOD I HATE THAT MAP) AND SOME ARE OLDER THAN ME AND HAVE BEEN 0N N/U FOREVER AND I DO MEAN FOREVER WE ONLY HAVE LIKE 5 TO 10 NEW MAPS AND THEY NEVER GET PLAYED CAUSE WE PLAY SAME ONES OVER AND OVER AGAIN LIKE COGBERG SAID ALSO BE NICE TO FIX IT WHERE ZOMBIES SOMETIMES DON'T KILL ANYTHING WHOLE ROUND MAYBE AFTER A TIME LIMIT GET MORE THAN ONE ZOMBIE TO SPAWN TO GET GAME GOING, NEED TO FIX WHERE ZOMBIES GET 1 CREDIT EVERY TIME THE DIE IN A ROUND SO THEY JUST COMMIT SUICIDE TILL THEY GET 7 TO 8 CREDITS ( WAY TOO EASY U ASK ME ) SOME NEW SKINS WOULD BE NICE AND ONE THING THAT ALWAYS GETS UNDER MY SKIN IS WHEN U TURN ZOMBIE WHY THE HELL DO U STILL HAVE REGUALAR FUCKING HANDS AND A KNIFE WHAT ZOMBIE HAVE U EVER SEEN CARRY A COMBAT DAGGER ?? I PROSE WE ADD THIS SKIN http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/32595 (AFTER NAT DOES HER MAGIC) TO IT AS A SERVER SIDE DOWNLOAD SO EVERYONE SEES IT (LESS NAT FEELS LIKE BUILDING A BETTER ONE ) SO TO BREAK IT DOWN
1. GET RID OF OLD MAPS AND MAPS THAT CRASH SERVER (ESSP LOST WORLD YUCK)
2. ADD NEW MAPS POSSIBLY
3. CHANGE ORDER OF MAPCYLE ( GET MOONLIGHT, BASE DAY AND LILLA CITY OFF FIRST 3 IN MAP CYCLE LIST
4. PUT A SERVER SIDED ZOMBIE HAND SKIN ON SERVER PLEASE
5. FIX CREDITS ISSUE
6. ANYTHING ELSE THAT NAT SAJ OR ANY OF THE OTHERS CAN THINK OF
7. GIVE ME ADMIN BACK PLEASE !! OR AT LEAST VIP (NO I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY NO WORK SINCE LATE APRIL AND LIVING WITH FAMILY AGAIN BUT PLEASE GIVE ME AT LEAST VIP SINCE I CONTRIBUTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

1. i dont see a problem with lostworld. there are old maps yes but ppl like to play them and some of them populate the server in the early morning. i duno about maps crashin server. havent seen any lately.
2. from what ive seen there are new maps on the server. new to me at least. and finding new maps is more a longtime process cause you have to see if ppl like, what spots they go in, are those spots gay cause of props you cant move as zombie etc.
3. agreed. mapcycle needs a lil change.
4. i dont think we need it. its just more stuff ppl have to download before they join the server. and the skin you showed isnt rly zombiestyle if you look at the zombieskins.
5. suiciding is illegal on zm. so if you see some1 try to get an admin in. and removing the 1 credit you get wouldnt be fair to those who play normal. when you die as zombie you respawn as human and when you used a lot of credits as zombie you will be happy to have an extra prop to use.

and from what i know you should have vip.

aside from getting them populated i guess i dont see anything wrong with them. My only beef i guess is the spawning in the DeathMatch servers, i like the random spawning better than Tside/CTside spawn.

But thats all i got. for the time being ill come back if i think of anything...

I definitely agree. People may bitch about the random spawning, but that's what made it fun. Maybe we could set up a forum to come up with some ideas on how we could get more ppl in these servers? I for one, miss playing dm with a bunch of ppl in there. it's almost always empty.

Office unlimited on DM??

Or a separate server ----> 74.86.117.157:27018

this would be awesome! also, could we maybe discuss which maps would draw the bigger crowds? try and get population up?

i would like to see the quake sounds and all talk back on D2..i think the all talk made it more of a community type atmosphere kinda like office is now..where everyone can chat a little bit..but with the same rules to not talk when dead. we tried it with out all talk and that didnt seem to help..we tried different stuff with the awps i think the server is good as far as the awp goes but i do think turning all talk back on full time would help populate it more.

this would be fun. this is how it is in office and we don't seem to have a problem with it. makes it more fun, being able to talk shit to everybody. office is usually pretty full, so maybe ppl would trickle over to d2 if this was on.


and then finally, d2 is having a 3-month game-off thing. could we post a banner of this on the home page of the site/server? a way to encourage ppl to play there not to mention let everyone know what's going on? bc i'd bet half the ppl on the forums/servers don't know it's going on. just a thought.

One of the problems with the gungame server is the registry.. and the whole rate thing is a big issue with some people. it would be nice if the server were updated so that we could implement that auto-rate change thing or whatever it is.

[vince21]

yeah. a lot of servers have that. automatically changes a player's rates to what the server wants when the player joins. really easy way to maintain rates and laggy players.

for one.... 90% of all registry issues are client side... meaning if you have a problem with your registry it means either your ISP sucks.... or your computer is not set up correctly and or your computer sucks. set your rates for a 101 tick server. this will take care of any rate problems you will ever have because the server can drop your settings but not raise them above the set limit. don't complain about registry if you don't know how it works. im not trying to be mean here but i always have my rates set at a 101 tick server. i never have registry issues and my computers over 5 years old, with 1 gig of ram. either way your rates and whatnot should be adjusted to the server anyway because no one puts up 33 tick servers anymore. defrag your comp.....

thank god someone finally knows my pain!!!!!

the gun game server is at the latest release of the source engine that drives the server and does automatically set peoples rates but you guys are not taking into affect the lack of proper connections on the client side to be able to handle a 100 tic server, also if ( as said above) joe blo comes into the server with a crappy pc and even shitier internet connection then of course the server can only do what it can to fix the issue.

your comments are noted for the record.

I have run a lan server off an ANCIENT computer for over a year, i have never had a registry issue and im telling you this machine is a piece of shit. Its running an old ass atholon and has like 2 gigs of ddr ram. the issue that you are running into is lag.... crappy isp.... or crappy computer. keep in mind that even on a lan.... i have hit people in the face and still have not killed them. it happens, its a fail on the internet. i dont want to hear registry this and that becuse i have seen what the server is running and its HORRIDLY powerful acually more then what we need to run 13 servers off of. so no more registry complaints.

[SmurfSniper]

lol you cant tell em nothing :P... I think i tried to explain this a dozen times but it usually only lasts about a week before they are right back to complaining about it again :P

[th3dj]

well thats the last time im gonna explain it. someon complains about it im just gonna say defrag your computer. and thats it
