Debugging

Currently in progress

Log Parsing (probably going to customize)

TODO

Make a git maybe? (pretty embarrassing as a dev)
MMR/Multiclassing
Logs (would probably need a VPS)
More security/server optimization
Better UI (not surprised if you don't figure out to click on the class icons to join) - 1/2/13
Sub system - 1/6/13

Please comment on this current mockup, as it's probably going to be the UI for a long time:

Added something small extra. Removed the sound file.

1-21-13
Everything seems to be working. Listen server is up.

1-8-13
Got a mumble up. Still need people to test if games can start.

Site should be working minus mumble (you're getting redirected to a west coast server).

I've been working on a TF2 pug site since winter break started. This project was mainly to practice some programming, but it's also nice to try to make something back for the community. I've gotten far enough that where it has user functions implemented, but the server events not tested (mainly because I'm unsure of the limitations of PHP on a cheap webhosting account).

I was wondering if anybody had a server that's not used very often so I can try testing out stuff (I would use tf2mix servers, but they're active enough and random so it'd be nice to try something else). I'll probably try to get a 'cloud' activating version tomorrow (basically count on javascript to take care of everything instead of something on the server side).

tl;dr: Site is not fully functional (can't start a game), but here it is for those who care (it's a queue based pug system like #tf2mix, NOT a captaining system):
http://tfqueue.com

Any comments/suggestions are welcome, but this is still in alpha (not fully functional). MMR and multiclassing is going to come once I can confirm that a game can start. Also I heard from Kapow there was another pug site in the works (not stromble which is the HL captain system), so I might end up sacking this site in the end anyways.

Also, think I should just go for a VPS for the project? It's really limiting when you can't make a listen server to use log/log_address_add (I think that's how tf2lobby works). Also don't want to be spending too much money on a VPS. Anyone with experience with this stuff would be helpful.

Oh yeah, I could also try making a system for newbie mixes if you want. The current system can easily be modded (though it'll take a bit of work on the javascript side).

That's some news to me if it isn't.

EDIT: Apparently you can if you lower your resolution and color bits and also use HDMI 1.3 (I've heard complaints from people using HDMI that it was capped though, so I went with them).

If enigma wants I can try updating the code I wrote around i46 if there's something wrong with it now. It was the video/demo sections, though I'm pretty sure they have SQL mistakes since he changed the tables.

"best" distro

hahahaha

Except don't edit it to that point where you need to turn up your brightness to see anything and no stupid death explosions.

What was wrong with the last group? I figure it's enough to lump competitive TF2 together.

Wait, is this meant to be server sided or client sided? Although I'm still pretty sure you can't choose a certain surface for custom textures to work (from what I know, it usually replaces a certain model or replaces a texture entirely).

Should be impossible without a mod/plugin. I believe mods/plugins will work on STV though, so that's something you have to test out/research on your own.

Pretty sure sourcemods can do it instantly so long as the decals are predefined. I never said they were using sprays, I said like sprays. Jeez.

You can also create a new surface/object that's directly over the other object and obstruct the view. You should be checking out alliedmodders for this though, as they have a lot of resources for modding the game on the server side (such as texture edits).

EDIT2: As an example, you can have a predefined surface that the decal tool can toggle through. Ie you label a surface Surface1, with property decal that you can change between many other predefined decals Decal1, Decal2, NoDecal, etc. There should be a function to switch between configurations, but you'd have to look more into the mods yourself.

EDIT: Disregard, you're aiming for client sided (I thought server sided since you talked about editing the map, and you can't join a server if your map differs from the server). But some mods do help on the clientside.

More than likely they apply decals/sprites to the surfaces (like sprays). They also probably use sourcemod.

Here's one:

There were a lot of people getting redirect errors yesterday, but it's unrelated to this.

What's wrong? Not like it's a Nazi swastika.

They're having a redirect problem right now. You'll have to manually browse and stuff (I can't even see the front page).

EDIT: Seems like front page fixed to make this new error.

Intel is the way to go. AMD's only good if you have some super multithreaded application, and even then it's only marginally better. AMD is really low budget.
