The server is a lot of fun, but for some reason every time I try to b-hop my screen "freaks out." I don't think I'm using a crouch jump script, though the culprit could be my high ping.

If it didn't I bet he got something else, why else would you give eGO a server?

Laandoes ping play a big part in the server?

yes the bhopping gets glitchy as your ping increases. 120 is probably about the upper end of acceptable but ymmv. it's not very serious though so even if you lag/glitch a lot you'll still have fun

You should have maps that are more bhop friendly, custom maps that is.

Also, remove the delay from doors opening, or remove them completely.

It was a lot of fun, my only complaint is that there's no way to set your sensitivity for when zoomed in, it makes the feature kind of useless.

Suggestion: Allow the use of the | tipofthehats.org tag without kicking players wearing that tag.

A lot of this community cares dearly for the whole children's cancer charity thing.

For anyone wondering: I was kicked for having the tag. Then told to take the .org out of the tag after I rejoined. At that point I left the server on principle. I've loved the game-mode and joined it every time I've seen it populated. But I'm not going to waste my time populating the server if I'm going to be bullied for having a cancer charity in my name.

Hey everyone, I just had the policy changed over at eGO so anyone who is wearing the tipofthehats.org tag in their name is welcome to play in our servers. There was a misunderstanding with one of our rules that prevent players from promoting clans and other sites to pull players away from our servers with the URLs in their names.

This will no longer be an issue for anyone who wears the tipofthehats.org tag in their name, and I apologize if it caused any problems in the past for any of you.

Thanks

Excellent. Well done. I love the server and the game-mode and I'm glad the issue was quickly rectified, it shows strong leadership and sound decision making on eGO's part. Thank you.

Nope, I've been with eGO now for just under 2 years. In that time I've earned both my G and O ranking and am now in charge of server maintenance and upkeep as well as the EC program within the TF2 Division (yes, I'm aware these probably weren't serious questions, butttttt I figured I'd answer anyway)

Could you be more descriptive about your issue? what do you mean by your screen "freaking out"

DeepYou should have maps that are more bhop friendly, custom maps that is.

We're going to be adding some quake dm maps soon (later tonight), if you have any maps you want added please feel free to reply with a link to the map.

On the subject of doors, seeing as how we have spawn protection I don't see a need for them. will be looking into integrating this when I add DM spawns.

taighaIt was a lot of fun, my only complaint is that there's no way to set your sensitivity for when zoomed in, it makes the feature kind of useless.

Seeing as how the zoom function doesn't actually zoom, there's no built in way to change your zoom sensitivity. you can however write up a simple script that alters your sens when mouse2 is being held.

What ever happened with that "talk" the eXtv guys had with Valve/Robin? I remember them saying something like how Valve would only be interested in supporting HL at this time and then nothing.

I feel like adding a "Pro" mode to the ingame menu (similar to how players have the option to choose regular TF2 or MVM) with a basic tutorial interface would really help people understand competitive TF2 and lessen that divide.

this would be the best solution for introducing people to comp tf2 but it's a step valve is apparently not willing to take because "it doesn't appeal to most tf2 players" (of course it fucking doesn't if you don't give it a chance).

(also I'm assuming this was meant for the r/tf2 topic? I just noticed this was in another topic, I haven't had my coffee yet x_x)

A few things:

1. cl_interp 0.01, cl_interpratio 1 make things feel less laggy
2. bhopping is fun but it gets really cheesy and tiresome. i don't know how it is in thraawn's version but with the original mod we eventually disabled it because when ppl get good at it you can do spire to spire in 1 instajump and it's stupid
3. http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/75513 if you don't have it already
4. arena if you haven't tried it already

All the maps we have on this server are default except for ctf_ig_redshed, fastdl is enabled and has been since we set the server up.

First off, my apologies for not posting in this thread for a few days, been rather busy with both RL and working on adding new features to the server for you guys.

Laanis there going to be an australian server in the near future? and how/where do you play this sephiroth?

Currently eGO has no plans to open a server in AUS (at least not anytime soon)
I currently play on the eGO server on my crappy computer that gets about 20fps at max (on small maps)

DouglasAnyone down to populate this server right now?

EDIT: Best it got to was 2v2, seemed pretty fun. I loved playing instagib+hook games in some iteration of quake, which ever one had the grappling hook.

Glad to hear you had fun :)

Anyway, lets get to the changelog for today shall we:

Added the following maps
[list=1]
dm_megahealth_a1
dm_q3dm17_b1
dm_quake_castle_b2
smack_down_b1

[*]Doors will now stay open constantly (On every map, if you notice any issues with this please do let me know)
[*]DM spawns have been added on the DM maps which were added today, we decided against adding them to stock maps for now due to the decision to keep objectives enabled
[*]Game description now accurately reflects the plugin we're running

http://puu.sh/6igaM.png

[/list]

As always feel free to contact me with any questions/suggestions for the server, I can be reached via the following methods;
Steam|eGO site|TF.TV
I check each of those daily and will more than likely get back to you within the hour (Unless I'm sleeping or at work)

We're considering changing the server to 24 slots down from 32, thoughts? concerns?
We'll be experimenting with fixing pitfalls, does anyone have any stock maps (with pitalls) they'd like to see added to the server?

24 slots is fine, and no one plays instagib for objectives
