Server Discussion / Re: Killing a server

« on: August 31, 2007, 02:39:07 AM »

Flame, I am in your debt  !

The site is now on sever browser! I'm currently bugging the living heck out of my mate to try and connect but so far all seems good.

Kilo, as for what you said, that helps me get my severs heartbeat going, so although you helped (which I'm also thankful for), Flame really was right.

For the record, the sever name is [{AAA}] Clan Sever Public but since i come from the land down under, odds are I'll never have the server up when you're on 

EDIT: Okay... what the hell?
Without doing anything to that black box, my sever was on serverbrowser for a while, then I closed severbrowser and when I came back it was gone... help?

Okay time to admit I had no idea what was going on during that argument(?) with Kilo and Flame and they kinda lost me. I don't mean to sound pathetic, but baby steps would be nice.

Now, I got the stuff about sending heartbeats, I saw that happen and im pretty sure it still didn't work at that point.

So jits, I'm gonna go through what you said bit by bit.
a)My firewall is disabled.
b)Port number on the server list?? And what was that flame went on about 27910? The only thing im sure about is my ip address and that's about it.

It might be easier to communicate on that IRC thing... if that's possible I've only looked at it once, so you guys tell me what's best.

Okay, here's something fun for you guys to try and work out.

I've been to IP chicken, and got my I.P address, and that appears on the dp serverlist but for some bizzare reason my server will not appear on the server browser.

I have the public setting in server.cfg set to 1, I have that 'black box' up, and it the server will appear when I load the game normally, however i got a friend of mine to try and connect, yet it would not appear anywhere.

Please help.

Server Discussion / Killing a server

« on: August 25, 2007, 09:49:25 PM »

I've noticed that there a lot of servers on Paintball that come on the server list for a few hours at max and then drop of the list.

Most of these are Australian servers, and I have the capability to run a small, say 8 player server from my computer, my only concern is that I don't want it running forever. I want to be able to shut it off when I'm not at home.

In short; After I've made my server, how can I get it off the web. Also, is it the same process to get it back up?

FYI: I have read the server guide.

EDIT: Sorry, one last thing, server player limit, where do I put that in?

Rather than making a whole new topic, I though I'd just repost here;
A two part question:
1) I know you can custom sounds to maps, is it possible to use .wav files?
2) If yes, how do I set it up to make the sound play at the start of the round (like the "What time is it? Dodgeball time!" sound effect)?

Powerball would be kinda cool, maybe just a pgp map with 10 paintballs that repawn from the same spot.

It's pretty silly, but nonethless, just as cool.

That'd be pretty cool... oh and I had a brain wave for Hit&Run, but I'd need to know if a) if you make moving objects, can they knock players around, and b) how to make moving objects. I read something about it in the help files on bsp editor, but that didn't make to much sense.

And Corporal, what is it you don't get about powerball?

Mapping / Some new ideas

« on: July 23, 2007, 12:04:07 AM »

After watching highlights on youtube of my favourite childhood show Gladiators (Australian version, since, you know, that's where I live) and I thought about how some of the games could be turned into maps. I've already started working on some for my friends and I, but I'll admit I'm much better at playing the game than I am at map making, but, some ideas up for anyone who wants to make them, and if someone has an idea to help fill in some of these blanks, I'd love it so I could make the rest of them;

Duel: Pretty Boring, 1v1, even if you allowed them to use the bottom, it'd still be bland
The Wall: Giant ladders don't sound to interesting.
Powerball: Using the baskets as cover, and the ball dispensers as flag bases could be interesting. And if you get pushed out of the ring, dead!
Suspension Bridge: The giant bridge in the middle, flags at either end with the option to run down the bottom (clip in the middle to stop players entering other side, unless they use the bridge)
Hit & Run: Similar to Suspension Bridge, but with platforms on the side. And if anyone knows how to make giant swinging balls, that's even better 
Pyramid: With a white flag at the top for KOTH or 1-flag?
Atlaspheres: If you can be bothered making huge balls out of chain textures for cover, sure. And the scoring pods for KOTH maybe?
Gauntlet: Would have to put lots of structures that represent the blocks that the Gladiators use.
Tilt: You can't make tilting platforms anyway I don't think
Hang Tough: I'd love to make this one, but the only thing I could think of was a whole bunch of little platforms you'd have to jump to, and if you fell, dead!
Eliminator: Now this'd be nuts, with flags at the end, but maybe you'd need see through walls (not clips, you can still shoot through those) to make it a proper eliminator.

Let's see what we get.

Mapping / That 'ice' texture

« on: July 05, 2007, 11:32:12 PM »

Okay, for the record, the map I'm talking about in this map won't be released (my maps aren't that good yet), I use them to play LAN matches with my mates, but I'm stuck trying to find that 'ice' texture that's in the jail in nhb and in the middle in... I think it's one of the propaint maps.

I only have the default textures (the ones that come with the download off the site), so, is there something I need to do to them, or must I find it elsewhere?

Thanks for the help guys, though I'm going to stick with another alias that I like 'theaxis'... I find WWII fascinating.

I'm still getting kicked... and with the same problems as before. Without colour, my clan tag will work fine, but then any name can be used, and with colour... well, you know the story.

If you've got any ideas left, let me know, but otherwise, thanks for the name, I'd never thought of it and I quite like it !

EDIT:
Oh my god - elem3nt wont work, but elemnt will... go figure! Okay, so now that I know what works and what doesn't, I guess it's time for me to say this;

Jitspoe, I've used all 3 of my names, I wish to delete te and replace it with elem3nt (or element if that 3 wont work).

Can someone help me with this endeavour?

Before I do something I'll regret (namely sending my keyboard out of my window), I think I'll just stick with putting in white.

No colour, no fuss.

And besides, by the looks of things, this clan ain't going to be to big, and I doubt anyone will steal our tag.

My registered name is theelementalist
And the clan tag is [{AAA}]
If this helps you, could you please tell me exactly how to put the name in (inside the game)? Or do I need place another, small name under my account info?

Also, if I do have to put in another name, will I still be able to log-in as I have been (as in, when I log-in to the Global Login System inside the game (build018))?

Okay, My tag is exactly as the clan tag is (the clan tag is
[{AAA}] ) and I've made a smaller alias (a copyright symbol T-E and then another copyright symbol) yet I am still getting kicked from online servers.

There's one thing that I can think of that might be causing this, I'll put it here, but I doubt it's the cause;

I am the leader of the clan, but do I need to actually be a member as well to use the tag?

Any ideas now guys?
