Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion)

[backfire]

Got the Detonator as a random reward yesterday (along with the Jumper's Jeepcap, my first random hat!  Yay!), and I think it's a nice replacement to the Flare Gun; no downsides that I can see other than the detonation trigger apparently being very finicky.  Sometimes it works fine, others I keep pushing the alt-fire button and nothing happens.  Anybody else having this problem?

The downgrade is it only mini-crits on burning targets as opposed to full crits.

It took an admin like 10 minutes to arrive (Versus was the only one available) enough for 2 players to blacklist the server.

Problem is that the hackers weren't the only ones, 4 or 5 other guys were just trolling, audiospamming, throwing racist claims, shouting on the mic, etc..

And it was Sunday at 1AM.

Also if you are going to blacklist a server for not having an admin around 24/7, get ready to blacklist pretty much every server

Is it just me or is blue server really laggy? I get fine ping but it still feels really laggy.  I only ask because it's actually been populated (with randoms) these last copule of days.

This is the difference that proper hardware and not stuffing 500000000 server instances on a 333MHz Celeron, this is what I was crying about so vocally to the point of pissing people off. I knew what to look for, hence I noticed it. Now you're noticing.

Yes unfortunately NFO has a few servers that get DDoS'ed pretty often, that's the downside to being on the same host as a lot of very popular 24/7 full servers. They're popular because they don't lag like shit, btw.

So it's begun.  Some idiot announce that he  was tired of playing legit, and that'd he'd be back on an alt. came back and used speed hacks, which got some other idiot thinking he was free to do the same, and speed hacked.

I'd grin and thump my chest here, but I had no doubt it would happen quickly.

I'll whip up a plugin some time soon that will give people an easy method of summoning an admin if the ones on your friends list aren't online.


In the mean time, type !admin in chat if someone is being a fucktard. I leave HLSW open 24/7 (Hi darkchief) now that I've got rcon to red, it's normally fullscreen'd on my laptop's 2nd monitor when I'm home, I'll see your cries for help regardless of if I'm signed into Steam or not.

I also have HLSW on my laptop, but then again I'm usually on steam at that moment as well...

This just makes me want to rewrite Sentinel for Source even more. NEED MOAR FREE TIME. Also, have to re-pirateacquire mIRC so I can rewrite the TCP & UDP libraries we wrote in it to work with source's RCON protocol vs HL1's RCON protocol. I'm pretty sure they're similar, but probably different enough that it won't just work out of the box.

Kirby, HeK, I'm going to start my own thread for discussion of this because I may need some of your expertise.

I did, message admins. I'm just saying that there will probably be an increase in problems for a few weeks, which I'm sure everyone knows already.

    Fixed a bug where the Reserve Shooter would minicrit against swimming targets.
    Tomislav spin-up reduction has been reduced from 75% to 40% (so it now spins-up slower)

    Updated the bot navigation files for several maps.

Sad part is, I thought the charge wasn't a bug. I thought they were gonna make demoknight slightly stronger than Dan Hibikai. My bad, I suppose.

[Dr. Zaius]

The demoknight didn't need a nerf.

It needed a complete purge from the game.

Shitty broken nonsensical class.

Demo-knight is definitely not the only soft counter to soldier if he is one.

Pyros for example.

I kind of agree with zaus, as much fun as I have playing as one.

That's nothing, on the CS:S GUngame server I used to run, I joined in to catch this:

Dude I gave you the money where's my admin you faggot

Reading the logs revealed that Idiot payed trollfaceguy $10 over PayPal for admin on the server. trollfaceguy convinced him that he was the owner of the server, despite not being able to demonstrate any admin abilities.


I lol'ed p.hard after that
