Server Updates

[CaffeinePowered]

As most of you should be aware by now Red's IP changed, I initially said this changed due to a crash on gameservers' part, this is not the case. I spent most of my snowmageddon day off porting everything over to NFO, Kirby spoiled the surprise several times over. I wanted to see if people actually noticed a change in or if the hit detection woes were mostly in their head.

Either way, its gotten a lot harder to seed Red as I expected so I was not wrong in overstating the value of a very old IP, as opposed to pubs flooding in when we'd get 8 people in, it now takes 12 - 14, it seemed last night that we had to get the server to 16 people before _any_ random joined. So, for those of you that kept hounding me to do this, step up or shut-up, because I can just as easily reactivate the old GS server if we aren't seeding this one. And I simply do not have the time to come home after work and spend a 2 hour session getting the server full only to watch it empty out within 30 minutes of me leaving.

Oh and Red now has a vote 5 min prior to the map ending, it will show whats nominated or the next 5 maps in rotation. Please be kind to pubbies in what maps you pick  :-*




Now, on to Blue - I have placed this plugin on Blue

This plugin disables unlockable weapons, forcing the server back to vanilla. Basically if you have an unlocked weapon equipped, it forces you back to stock.


What This Plugin Does:
- Prevents Users from Equipping Certain Weapons
- Re-Equips users with stock items

What This Plugin Does Not Do:
- Disables Hats and Other Misc Items

I've heard more than a few people say they'd play TF2 more if valve hadn't "ruined it" by adding things. So, just like I said with Red, nut-up or shut-up, if that's really what you want, now you have it  :-*



To Recap:
Red: Custom Maps + Unlocks - red.brbuninstalling.com
Blue: Vanilla Stock + No Unlocks - blue.brbuninstalling.com
Green: Payload-Only - 216.52.143.251:27015
Yellow: Vanilla Stock + Unlocks - brbu.game.nfoservers.com:27015

I will be doing a re-evaluation of admin access on servers in the coming weeks and partially basing this on who is seeding and actually playing a fair amount. So if you are interested, let me know.

personally the only way to get around the favorites problem is to broadcast on the old IP that we will be changing IP to something else so everyone sees it

cant really do that now but for the future

I did, the old box is still up, its hostname instead of being 'brbuninstalling.com - Red Version' is 'We have moved - (new address)'

Gonna keep that up through February

ahh
we should maybe seed that til it goes down
so people come in and see that we're moving instead of seeing an empty server?

Wait... does this mean I can actually play TF2 again? :o

In other news, I will never play on Blue again.

On blue, yes, the new plugin I put in this morning works perfectly and forces all stock items, hats/misc/action items are still in game though.

If you want to seed a 2 slot locked server....

unlocking it and making it look like there's someone in it would get it to show up in more search results, since many people filter for not full, not empty, and not locked.

HeK said he updated the DNS records, so you may want to update your OP with the hostnames, caff.

I do have the host names in there, the problem is that what I want people to update is their favorites list, and i cant recall if favorites are able to be filtered by full or not

I meant specifically this part of the frontpage post:

Red: Custom Maps + Unlocks - red.brbuninstalling.com
Blue: Vanilla Stock + No Unlocks - blue.brbuninstalling.com
Green: Payload-Only - 216.52.143.251:27015
Yellow: Vanilla Stock + Unlocks - brbu.game.nfoservers.com:27015

Because it looks like he's got the DNS pointers up, as he said in the other thread. Doesn't help that you have two of them >_<
