Cant wait, really need to know the time tho, dont have all night..

always 9pmEST. Unless otherwise noted.

but tonight. Team based, Rock Paper Scissors @ q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com or goto happyfriar.

from readme:
Goals
The goal is to have your team control all three cubes at once. Then, your team has made a "capture," appropriate rewards are given, and the game starts again.
Just Joining
When just joining a server, you will be presented with a menu, allowing you to join a team. Use the "[" and "]" keys to navigate the menu, and the enter key to pick one. If the team was empty, you will be given a Power Cube. (Or, you will be put on a team automatically, if the server option "autoteams" is on.)
Display
At the top right, there is a number for your score (frags) and, below that, a number for how many cubes you have. On the bottom right, there is the team display. All three teams' score and number of cubes currently controlled are showed. Also, to the left of each row, is a letter (R, P, or S) designating which team that row is for. The team's letter that you are on is in green.
Damage System
There are three teams, rock (red), paper (blue), and scissors (green). Each team does no damage to other teammates, full damage to another, and 1/4 damage to the third, emulating classic RPS as described above. If you manage to kill someone from the team that you do 1/4 damage to, you get 2 frags.
Rock does full to Scissors, a fourth to Paper.
Paper does full to Rock, a fourth to Scissors.
Scissors does full to Paper, a fourth to Rock.
Power Cubes
There will be one Power Cube in play for each team with players. Cubes always enter the game by "magically" appearing in one of the team member's inventory. If you are the first one to join a team, you will start off with a cube. If any team has possession of three cubes at any one time, then they get a point, and each team is allocated one cube (a random player from that team gets it), to start over again. If a player has a cube, he/she/it emits a yellow particles and glow with a light.
Rewards
If any player has possession of a cube when their team makes a "capture," to equate RPS with CTF, then their max health is increased by 2, with a ceiling of 150. This isn't much, but to the team that deals 1/4 to you, it is eight points, with a maximum of an extra virtual 200 health. This bonus carries over deaths, but not map switches. No bonus is given for holding more than one cube at capture time.
Strategy
With the Rock, Paper, Scissors damage system, it is advantageous to avoid your antithesis team (the team you can barely hurt) like the plague. Instead, if they control cubes, you should back off the team you CAN hurt, and let them get the cubes. Then, you can kill them easily, and make a capture. However, if they are being "uncooperative," then you'll just have to head for the quad and hope for the best against your antithesis team.

New Commands

The new commands are as follows:

"goal" : Tells you which teams you should be attacking or avoiding. (I found many people would forget which team was which.) This is also displayed after every respawn.

"team" : Tells you what team you are on. If followed by a team name, i.g. rock, then switches you to that team.

"rps" : Let's you play old-school rock, paper, scissors against the computer.

"id" : Toggles player identification.

I was on at 7pm EST. Reconnected at 8pm EST to find the server down! Nooooo!

Yeah I think that the RPS command killed it. I'm trying to track down some happy friar to get it restarted.

in the log, it ends @ this line:

Code: [Select]

[2009-10-04 19:50] [2009-10-04 20:45] dedicated is write protected.
any ideas what that meant? peewee & defiant were in the game for ~1 minute before that was posted.

First off, when the serve crashed, I was playing the built in RPS game from the command and continually picking rock to see if it was intelligent or just random. It was neither, it crashed hehe.

But dedicated can't be changed changed to 1 on a game that is already playing as dedicated 0. You would get that message if you tried to change a game loaded normally to dedicated. It has to be passed as a command line argument. Also it's possible to get that message normally. If your autoconfig sets dedicated to 1 and it is already set, I'm sure that it will produce that same message. So if the game ran an autoexec somewhere that had the line "set dedicated 1" then it probably would have come up and means nothing.

no autoexec in there, just part of the server config file.

Didn't notice it before that instance either...

DOH!!!!

The night that my wife has her final projects due for her classes and I spend the time helping her figure out office Vista. (which is kind of like trying to explain how to operate a Turbo Encabulator. The functionality just does not exist.)

I'll catch you guys next time. Sorry about the server being down, I haven't spent the time setting up the backup and getting it updated on goto yet. I will do that tonight.

Can we try megaman again tonight?

q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com or goto happyfriar
