Quake / DM8 only DM server, who's interested?
« on: October 07, 2008, 07:09:57 AM »
I don't believe the Mage DM8 server or the DS DM8 server is around anymore, correct me if I'm wrong.  It's such a great map with really long hallways for good rail action, and lots of sections for fights between specific weapons (hyper, SSG, RL, etc.)

Anyway, I'm playing again after many months being absent or mostly absent and miss not having a DM8 server to frag on.  Perhaps TS could eliminate one of it's many seldom-used servers or just add another assuming it can take it =)

We can debate on what style it'll be.  I kinda liked the semi-marathon style Mage had ages ago; 20 minute time limit, no frag limit.  Or DS had it the same way but 15 minute time limits I believe.  Preferably BFG disabled so it caters to the less spamtastic weapons, other than GL, gotta give some of the spammers something to play with =) And would be nice if the PS was disabled too so it's not so heavily focused on making sure you get that one item and more focused on just general crazy fragging.  It's not about longevity, it's about getting the most frags you can in a set amount of time.  Not sure about falling damage or not, I think I like it on (love railing people off a high ledge to have them splat when they hit the ground  :badgrin: )

Let me know what you think! =)

Quake / A good 1-eared headset, USB preferred...
« on: March 09, 2008, 03:57:08 PM »
Can anybody recommend a good 1-ear headset for use with Q2, etc.?  I think I've heard USB is preferred, so I suppose I'd prefer a USB one.  I've never owned a headset, so not sure what I need to look for.  Just always like to buy something of higher quality if I'm gonna shell out the cash.  TYIA =)

Trouble Shooting / Quake changing colors mid-game
« on: February 22, 2008, 01:47:01 PM »
Since I've started playing quake again, in the past week or so, sometimes when I'm playing, my colors will all of a sudden turn from a normal color to a purplish/pinkish hue.  I've attached a before/after screenshot to try to show the differences.  Never seen this before, was just curious if anybody else had any clue what was going on.

When I do a vid_restart, it fixes it temporarily, sometimes for only a few seconds, sometimes for many minutes to an entire gaming session.

Any input would be much appreciated  :headbang:

 :help:

Edit:  Made the pics jpegs so they weren't so huge.  As you can see... my crosshair all but disappears when the colors have a change.  My bright-skinned player models become very hard to see as well.  So for those 2 reasons alone, this annoys me =P

Bot Drop / Suspected Bot on DM server earlier
« on: February 18, 2008, 04:54:21 PM »
Name was Higbert.  May check his IP against other known botters.  I have no demos though, sorry.  I'm certain he wasn't just "that good", he was fairly clearly botting IMO

1337 Frag Demos / Old? trick watching demos with R1Q2?
« on: June 17, 2007, 04:26:59 PM »
Maybe everybody else already knew about this, but I just was watching a demo and realized that if you hold down the shift key while watching a demo under R1Q2, you can move the mouse and refocus the vantage point from the demo.  Never knew that... any other tricks besides that one for demo viewing under R1Q2?

Quake / Is the DM server on spawn farthest?
« on: May 27, 2007, 09:35:01 AM »
Maybe it's just that the DM server has been really crowded lately, well for a while actually, but the instances of getting telefragged seem to be a lot higher than I remember on any other DM servers.  And I don't mean right after spawning, I mean just during a battle or just moving around the map and finding yourself walking over a spawn and someone spawning right there at that moment and killing you, right after I snagged 200 bullets + chain or some armor or something and in full health, grrrrr...

Anyway, I'm assuming that spawn-farthest is not on?  Was it always off?  Maybe it is on and it's just the amount of people in the game.  But if it's off, turning it on should help this situation right?  I'm assuming that spawn farthest checks each spawn-point before it respawns someone and finds the one that has largest player-free radius to it, thereby giving that person the best chance of getting to a weapon/etc. unmolested, AND eliminating, or reducing those pesky mid-action telefrags I mentioned.

Just wanted to inquire about this, and perhaps others have noticed this annoyance as well =)

1v1 and TDM Demos / 1v1 - Punk playing 1v1, yay - q2dm1
« on: December 17, 2006, 03:29:19 AM »
Eh, I play FFA 99% of the time, but enjoy TDM/1v1 occasionally.  Here I am playing against a guy named Lenn, not sure if he's a familiar face or not.  I was pretty hot playing FFA and he asked me to play 1v1 and I said sure.  Please, feel free to critique my play, goof ups, etc.  I have a fruqton to learn in 1v1/TDM.  Often I'm too aggressive, and put killing the other guy as more of a priority than getting myself stacked or controlling key items.  I did fine this game though.

First frag doesn't come till 7:30, and picks up a little around 5 mins in.  Final score was 21 to -1.

Jump & Trick Demos / Another mega jump? or old news...
« on: July 28, 2006, 05:20:56 PM »
Pretty easy to do, seems fairly useful, quick way to get out of chaingun area.

I'm trying to install this 250GB Maxtor SATA drive, it's a SATA-I device, 1.5 Gb/s.  Anyway, I have a DFI LanPartyUT nF4 Ultra-D motherboard.  Has all the necessary hookups, etc., and is considered a really good nF4 board.

The motherboard is able to recognize the HD without issue, as is the MaxBlast bootable CD software that came with the drive.  I was able to partition and format the drive without issue.

When I try to install WinXP SP2 off of a bootable CD it loads all the drivers, etc., then says "Cannot locate a hard drive" basically, and I have to hit F3 to cancel.  A floppy disk came with my mobo with drivers on it, but it's only for RAID drivers, and I'm only installing a single SATA drive.  Given that bit of info, I still tried to use the F6 command when installing XP and supply the drivers on the floppy but that still won't allow the HD to be recognized.

Oh, and after the failures I took my existing Win2k Pro SP4 (all the available updates) that's on an 80GB IDE HD I have and tried to attach the SATA 250GB drive as a secondary drive and it did not recognize it upon boot up, but I was able to get it partially recognized via the "add new hardware" command in the Control Panel section.  But then after reboot it disappeared again.  I've recently flashed my mobo's BIOS to the newest offering and now it won't recognize the drive at all now.

Hoping someone here might have a clue what's going on and lend me a hand.  Thanks =)

This guy named Bart was playing one of the tourney servers, perhaps T2, I know it wasn't T4.  Anyway, he either has by far the best chain/hyperblaster/machinegun I've ever seen or he's just a good player using a very low FOV aimbot.  Watch his chain and machinegun how they lock onto the target almost even when he's falling, etc.  This isn't a full demo, but it's most of it.  Dake is a pretty good player, but he was outscoring Dake almost 3 to 1, mostly chain.  Dake hinted that it may seem he was walling too.  I'm more aware of the possible botting is all.

Again, I'm not convined, so I'm providing this demo for others to see.  Someone mentioned this guy "may" be da1zed, who supposedly is a known hacker?

Judge for yourself.

/dev/random / Anybody else watch UFC fighting?
« on: June 24, 2006, 05:17:40 PM »
I've been watching "The Ultimate Fighter 3" reality show (for the UFC) on SpikeTV for the past number of weeks, and tonight is the live finale, at 9PM EST.

Anyway, I like UFC a lot and was just wondering if any of you guys try to follow it as well, learn who the better fighters are, etc.  Quite entertaining if you ask me.

Quake / Can someone help me setup good team binds?
« on: May 01, 2006, 06:30:29 PM »
Someone suggested I download Damiah's player config from a website for team binds.  I've downloaded it, and looking at it, I'm totally confused, sooooo many aliases (I've never figured out how they work exactly), and binds, it makes my head spin.  I don't know what the keys will do specifically, how to operate them etc.

When I play teams, I feel very gimp in that I cannot communicate with my teammates, or drop weapons/ammo without actually stopping and typing it out, which takes far too long in fast combat of course.

So anybody willing to lend me some assistance, I'd really appreciate it, thanks =)

This has been going on for a while, and it annoys me when I see it.  I'm under the impression, that anybody is allowed to play on the TDM servers.  This would include the UDML server too right?  I mean, unless of course there's a practice or tourney going on, but you'd still be allowed to stay as a spectator correct?

Many times, you have asses, who refuse to allow certain players on their teams, and will repeatedly kick them so they can have 2v2 or whatever.  I was under the impression, that anybody that wants to play, as long as teams are even (2v2, 3v3, 4v4) etc., should be allowed right?

Certain players try to monopolize the servers, as if they were their own.  Aren't they public, as in nobody, cept maybe console, or official tourneys, have more say over another player, on who gets to play, or who gets to even stay and watch.

What pushed me over the edge, was I was practicing on the UDML server, with the aR clan.  And while I was playing, they were asking me to get off the team.  I was concentrating, and I didn't notice the text (I rarely read text anyway), and they kicked me.  Sure np, I returned, said "sorry, didn't see the text", and I was kicked again.  Why is this?  I think it was Dahang, but not sure, is he allowed to control the server in such a way, is he "in charge", is his fun more important then mine?  Am I not allowed to observe a practice?

My main beef is just people being annoying on the TDM servers, and being general asses, but this other occurance also has had me wondering what the real rules are to begin with.

Edit - Just to add another scenario.  Say there's 6 people on the server, and one cocky individual, wants to show how great he is, and joins one team, and locks it, so nobody else can join.  Then he demands we have a 3 or 4 on 1, since that's what he wants.  When everybody else wants a team game.  What can we do about these individuals?  (actually we kicked this individual).  But what about the players that repeatedly kick people off their team, for whatever reason, when the only reason, is they don't like that player, or don't find that player skilled-enough to play.  Thanks.

Oh yeah, and I looked again at the UDML/NADML server, and with 4v4, + I guess the designated refs, + wallfly, that's pretty much a full server, with the cap being 13 players.  So that's understandable, just wish they had kicked me in a different manner, but I think I'll be ok, maybe a hug will help =P
