Grenade Solution!
« on: July 12, 2003, 06:55:28 AM »
It has come to my attention that most of the people want grenades in the servers.. it doesnt matter f its fragfrest or normal with grenades but... if this is even possible you should just set people everyone with 1 grenade per person it would be fun for all and dont make them respawn in the round.. just have them start out with it.. then it doesnt matter if ur the fastest person so u can get the grenades first... and it would also solve some people complaining that "YOU STOLE ALL THE meddling GRENS U meddling excretory opening"  no names included in that quote  ;D

[4 v1.755 -=Public 2 - Grenades=- #eR33t-Servers]|174ms|64.246.15.2:27930|Q2/pball|castle1|0/12

....

There's been grenades on that server for a few days now; however it still remains fairly innactive.  At the momment this is the best I can do for people that want grenades.

As for everyone starting with one grenade, that is pretty overkill for any game with more than 2 players on each team.

i think it remains inactive because many people do not have the er33t server number 2 and because when 2 people are on er33t 1 who wants to wait for sum1 to check er33t 2 ... also i find that on er33t public 2 has higher ping than number 1

Well I would even wonder out and say that if people REALLY wanted to play with grenades then maybe they would play on the server that I provide that has grenades.  As for most people not having then Public 2(64.246.15.2:27930) on their server list....

Users of gamespy who use the http://www.planetquake.com/digitalpaint/servers.txt as a server list for their tab should have the Public 2 server on their tab since the server is listed there.

The All-Seeing Eye users should have Public 2 listed under their Quake 2->Other->Paintball automatically.

People who use the latest Digital Paint: Paintball 2 2.0x alphas will list Public 2 in their address book if their decide to retrieve the server list from the Multiplayer menu.

IRC Users who retrieve server addresses via !servers in #eR33t-Servers on ETG will see Public 2 in the listing of eR33t game servers.

I think that the number of players who don't fall into any of the above categories is pretty slim, so I really don't think it is a matter of not enough people knowing about the server.  Also in regards to ping, the servers are on the same machine, and should produce pretty close ping results...  Perhaps you are using ASE with improper network settings which will inaccurately report pings from servers that are not the first servers scanned.

The only real argument I can see is that the map rotation probably sucks; but I'm not going to do much about that until I see some user-submitted maplists... in which case you can send to bain@eR33t.com.

grenade code should be fixed

spawning with grenade is a bad idea

Friendly fire adds a new element of challenge to the game.  It should be used in clan matches, but it generally gets abused on public servers.

I'll check on that later but I just checked the server configuration:

...
set ffire off
...
set grenadeffire 0
...

There should be no friendly fire... but like I said, I'll verify it when I get back at my computer.
