I can give it a shot bm I just don't have a ton of free time. But I'll still try.

hello

as some of you know already I host a few quake DM servers featuring soap DM. my biggest issue quite honestly is finding decent any quake-themed maps.

I am looking for someone who is decent with map making, layouts, textures etc.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to help me out

The Halloween update messed up all of my servers forcing me to completely reinstall them :( however I just got them up and running, I apologize for the downtime.

I can't get a decent whitelist plugin to work without crashing the server :(

Do you think I should make the map times shorter? How about 20 mins rather than 30 mins?

tv's (like any electronics) go by brand and price. theres just a few things to note:

-look for 120hz and up, but avoid the words "smoothing" and post process, these cause HUGE input lag and suck for gaming. plus they generally look bad.
-1080p should be a given
-some tv's have different ports, be sure to check out not all have the same ports. some dont have component, some dont have pc (vga) input, some have few hdmi inputs

brands to look for: samsung lg panasonic sharp sony
brands to avoid: "walmart" brands, westinghouse, magnavox sylvania sanyo

like i said price dictates quality. price being not what you pay but regular or msrp. sales clearance discounts promos are awesome.

ive disabled most of it, but i cant seem to shake these issues :( ive disabled tftrue for now on server 4 to test.

edit: its definitely tftrue. ive disabled it.

both european servers are up and fully working!

server #4: 31.186.251.210:27015 location: Germany

huge thanks to Muerte for hosting the server!

big thanks to george for hosting this server for us!

I've also added TFTrue and whitelist to all the servers... which started issues with the map dm_q3dm17 (longest yard) and i have no idea why. it could have something to do with tftrue... not entirely sure.

hey mike thanks for the input. ive heard 5v5 was too cluttered from a few people but you made some really good points. i changed server #2 back to 10 slots, and ill be watching which one appears to be more popular.

i also added two new map arenas to the rotation: theveryendofyou and spacetower, both based off of a final stage of quake3. rtv and nominate functions are now both fully functional. i am trying to add a whitelist however the esea one only works with mp_tournament mode set to one :( anyone know of any good one i can run on non-tournament servers?

Muerte I dont mind setting it up for you. Add me.

I'd love more quake maps but for now this is it unless we have anyone willing to make any. Good spawn spots are difficult since the maps are so small :(

so the quake_castle map didnt go over so well and had some performance issues. i changed the third server back to 8 slots, and added the 3 regular quakedm maps.

third server now up!

server #3 ip: 172.245.39.240:27013
