I absolutely think we should put the DM changes back up for discussion. The new maps are great and their are some new players in there from time to time but the older regs to the community do not play there anymore because of the fixed spawn points.

I think what Sajora was suggesting if I read it right that we should load up the knife mod thingy on GG.

Also on GG if you type nextmap it is supposed to tell you the next map and right now it does not.

In Dust2, I would like to see the sm_spec or if you type !spec "name" command work. If does not work on Dust2 but it does work in office.

um if you type nextmap it shows you the nextmap but my problem is that you, as an admin, cant change the nextmap neither in menu nor in console.

hmm, havent played DM server forever so i dont know what maps you have. But I would like to see an office unlimited map if we could.

I agree on the quake sounds for Dust2. Also I don't see why we can't have Office_Unlimited on Deathmatch. I kind of like that Idea.

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.

yea, but maybe try the newer version of office unlimited on dm (the one that you can access the roofs.)
and ive been asking for 2 years for a last man standing knife vote on gg O_o and when someone gets a nade kill it should pop a votemap up to vote on what map you go to next.

I liked having all talk on, but maybe we can mess with shit a little, maybe when your dead the only people that can hear you are other dead people... this way it doesnt disturb people still playing... or maybe even a vote option in the admin menu to vote for a few rounds of team talk or something

Im likeing the input. this is for everyone to put in there input i hope to see some from our community members not just the mods and admins.

OK how bout we revamp the map lists on the servers with multiple maps. I know we just did this for the gungame server, but zombie mod needs its maps vamped up and im assuming deathmatch does as well. Im a zm and gg reg and a big part of me wanting to come in and play in the server is the map that is currently on. And for the zombie mod server if we could change the map rotation b/c zm crashes significantly more than the other server so we end up playing moonlight, baseday, and lillacity like 15+ times a day wich makes the maps seem borring and over played.

i got one for ya to wrap your minds around....setup D2 and office to sync so when the round ends D2 switches to office and office switches to D2..hahhahaa everyone would be like WTF just happened.

I second that...people who are dead should only be able to talk to dead people for sure. Iv been pushing for that too. Great idea :-D

I agree with Sajora about the nextmap thing on GG. Would be great if we could get setting the next map working for us admins. Oh and I'm liking the knife fight mod that was implemented, I'll let ya'll know how the community takes it when the server populates a little more today

**The knife mod is a BIG hit. I haven't heard anything but good about it

on the home page of the forums the server listing needs to be updated to show the new rally mod server and not the old deathmatch server.

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.

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.

th3dj

12-16-2009, 02:59 PM

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.

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.

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.

12-16-2009, 06:25 PM

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

kamikaze_bad_ass

12-16-2009, 06:37 PM

correct me if i'm wrong but lag has to do with how many ppl are using that isp in that area at that time and the mps of your connection i.e the more people on one isp at one time or the number of people using the same network at the same time say before 8 am and after 5 pm are peak times in most areas and your setup as far as your processor , ram hard drive and what and how many ghost programs are running in the background i.e whenever my avg antivirrus kicks on in the morning to do it scans my rates and lag go up to 300 + at times so i have to ether wait for it to finish or disable it and also anything like mp3 players and downloads will cause it to shoot up ( like my gay midget porn downloads LOL ) so therefore i say make sure all your hardware is up to date and fully functional with latest drivers and shit, make sure you don't have any major ghost programs running in the background that are eating up all your ram and cpu and no other programs are running either on your desktop other than what u need and defrag your hard drives and comp every few months and oh ya clean out all those damn dust bunny's floating around in your fans and case every few months and after that it's outta your hands pretty much

like i said i might be work but i hope not but some one please confirm this
thanks KAMI

I dont have internet things running when Im playing any online game. If I start lagging is 'coz family.
In ZM, it would be cool if newer and cooler maps were added, and some maps like desolo were removed. There is a big bunch of bad maps that are played one after one, like 7 or 8. If it possible replace the old base day for the new snowy one, and remove moonlight from the first pos in rotation. New maps like the institute spoon we played are rarely added to map rotation list or rtv list, or votemap list.
Fix the shit maps, remove the really shit ones, dont overplay ze maps and gimme VIP and Ill be happy :D.
PS: Kamikaze, sorry for fucking your head with my dualies, lol.
PSS:I used to have VIP but it got removed. I tried to donate but the credit card did not worked with PayPal.

Ive always felt your pain man..ive been tryin to tell mother fu&%s this shit for ever but noooooo they all know better LMAO..and think its the server..wtfe..anyways what Dj says is right if you just set the rates at..cmd_rate 101 cl_updaterate 101 and rate at 30000 you should never have a problem in any of our servers...end of story..thats it take the time to set the shit right and it will all be good.

So i don't know if this has been mentioned, or if it has if it's been fixed.

For the past month or two, I would go in to GunGame randomly and I would play for awhile, but Random times I would spawn and have just a knife and no Level what so ever. I get a kill, but nothing. The box that pops up will say "Level _ of 24" So i have no level.

Again not sure if it has been looked into or fixed just saying. I also posted this issue in a thread OutlawJEW made in the GunGame section.

something kinda similar to this happened to me a couple of times. in the gg server, you'd always spawn with the weapons you had last round, whether you got a kill or not. also, bots always seem to spawn with no weapons what so ever.

Spawning with the previous gun only happens when there's 2+ bots in game. Even though all you gotta do is throw it down and pick up your correct gun in front of you...it's still a pain in the ass i agree. As for the bots spawning without weapons...i have no clue.I know they spawn and use nothing but their knives alot, but hey, They're fucking bots.

i would like to see new skins for admins and vip member's on office. i also would like you to make it so you can only buy one nade cause we have alot of guys that throw nades out the window and run back an rebuy them .maybe you can just drop the buytime down
i seen everyone was talking about the reg again but infact we should be talking about what needs to been done to the server's.sios explained this 1,000 times to us about the reg so leave it at that.i also would like to see a rank reset on the office server.the only other thing i have is that camping we should try and do aomething about that maybe we can come up with a solution that if a ct is still in garage at 1:30 he will be slayed with an admin doing it, and when some one is afk is sends them to spec after one round eve admins cause some higher admin come in and they just sit in spawn and lower admin's can't slay them or force them to spec or kick,and is thier a way to make it so if someone does a gay spray that it just won't show it? thats all i can think of for now thanks

back when our gungame was packed i tried turbo and got bitched at so much i went back to what it is now. as for using steam to announce things going on ... ive tried that also and have gotten none/little responce to it maybe our community has a reading deficiency or something.

02-13-2010, 10:03 PM

I still play N/U servers when I see others are playing but lately I have been really into Turbo gungame. Another server has it setup so that once the person that kill u dies, u respawn and it keeps going till the other team is taken out. This would be awesome to implement into N/U.

Another suggestion is that maybe send out alerts for special times that alerts members of the N/U group on Steam to join a certain server. Maybe that will get everyone back into playing. Just a thought.

Turbo Gun Game is fun, but I think if we were going to use it, we should use smurfs winners choice idea.

Steam announcements were posted multiple times before, but like sio said, it never works. We tried it not too long ago with the Dust2 Madness event, but only players invited by admins came.
