ElZog 15th November 2007, 18:24

Hmm 1 hour and a half, got a lot of lab book write up to get done, i'll try to be there.

keir 15th November 2007, 18:32

I think there alright :)

g3n3tiX 15th November 2007, 18:36

Yay ! Maybe I'll drop by to see how the server is !
EDIT : only 20 slots ? Come on, we know you can bump it to 24 !

cp_castle and cp_wolf are cool maps which should be added !

steveo_mcg 15th November 2007, 18:46

Surely this monster could run a much larger game?

Amon 15th November 2007, 18:51

Ping is too high. :)

fathazza 15th November 2007, 19:05

cant be arsed to check the map pack but we sure want lazy town on there...

8pm is an arsey time cos im usually eating around then (and most of the rest of the day but thats an actual proper meal)

The_Pope 15th November 2007, 19:36

Actually, I'm out

I cant find anything conclusive on the internet, But source allways used to be single core (even the servers)

I cant even find out if TF2 (client) is multicore, let alone the server side

Hugo 15th November 2007, 21:40

There is a Valve enforced player limit - not enough spawn points in the bases or some such nonsense.

We'll be running a UT3 server once available FYI peoples

As well has tf2? you got the virtualisation working?

Bindibadgi 15th November 2007, 23:23

We'll definitely be running Lazy Town in future, and I'm going to nose at wolf and castle given time.

GamingHobo 15th November 2007, 23:33

Cheers for good game everyone, was a great few rounds of fragging. Can vouch for Lazytown, definately want that one. Haven't played Castle before, just want to avoid Floodzone - far too long winded and boring for my liking.

smoothie 16th November 2007, 01:27

I stopped in for a few rounds, and I had a great time. Thanks!

ElZog 16th November 2007, 09:15

Has lazytown been fixed now, like can you stand within the yellow and black stripes to cap instead of on the point? Also are the final points now quicker caps? Otherwise lazytown is a bit pants and pretty much always ends in a stalemate.

Same thing for me as well, I'm utter shite at the moment, but I'll check out the server today after work ;)

Hugo 16th November 2007, 10:36

Because someone will inevitably be interested.

clicky

I'm going to look at getting the http downloads set up and then will chuck up some custom maps - have to do some work first though ;)

BigD79 16th November 2007, 10:44

I'm not at home at the mo but I use xfire, will the BT/TR server appear on the server list?

Hugo 16th November 2007, 10:56

In a word: yes.

Ditto that.
Unfortunately, apparently "this server is using an older protocol than your client" - so you won't be able to see my uber-leet skillz...

Hugo 16th November 2007, 22:29

Updated :) cheers for the heads up guys.

tuteja1986 17th November 2007, 16:25

team OCAU kicks your ass in player count : ) but has no game server ! currently only battling team whirlpool since they have a server.

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ocau

team anandtech hasn't seen growth for a month because of no promotion :!

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/anandtech

Team OCAU vs bit-tech now thats a match i want to see : ) overclockers vs bits !

Bindibadgi 17th November 2007, 16:30

Well personally I couldn't care less about matches, per say, I just want to jump in and have some fun.

I get enough stress at work, let alone gaming too :P

Hugo 17th November 2007, 22:22

Hey guys, I just added Lazytown to the rotation and removed Hydro as most of us in the Bit labs don't like it ;) Enjoy

steveo_mcg 17th November 2007, 23:33

I hate hydro! Lazy towns pretty good if you can rely on your team, then again all the maps fall apart if your team is pants

evox 18th November 2007, 16:02

cool! I'm in! :) my alias is same in TF2.

Elz 19th November 2007, 18:06

wicked! my favourites list finally has a purpose :)

steveo_mcg 19th November 2007, 18:52

I played on a server the other day with an interesting setting, the sudden death was mele only it stopped the usual turtling you get in sudden death and since there was no healing gun or dispensers it made the whole thing much quicker. You should try that on your server and see if any one else likes it.

AJB2K3 19th November 2007, 19:26

Im getting a lot of lag with 10+ players, anything I can do my end to improve this?

Hugo 19th November 2007, 23:20

rate 30000 (server max)
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100

might help

CardJoe 20th November 2007, 07:34

Hit F10 in-game.

Hugo 20th November 2007, 08:58

I have it bound to tell me not to fall for stupid tricks :D

Jamie 20th November 2007, 09:05

I can't believe people have been falling for that. F10 has been quit since before Quake 1.

Hugo 20th November 2007, 10:10

Yeah but in the heat of battle you don't have time to think. You don't understand, man. You weren't there, you just don't understand.

Maybe I should add it to the MOTD <chuckles>

On a separate note: any more custom maps we should put on?

Hugo 20th November 2007, 23:51

Update again: HLstatsX is now running on the server - so we can see how you guys are doing ;) Please ignore my stats...

Bindibadgi 22nd November 2007, 12:18

Remember - Thursday Night TF2 match @ 8pm!

We're also setting up a UT3 server for Mondays, Wednesday or Fridays as well.

Jamie 22nd November 2007, 12:19

Don't make me choose between Assassins Creed and TF2 :'(

will. 22nd November 2007, 12:29

Woo.. I've been practising too! I'm going to be not quite so shockingly bad as last week :p

There's a choice? I stopped playing after kill 7 and haven't been compelled to go back to finish...

Of course I did spend 2 hours trying to get UT3 to work last night....

Bindibadgi 22nd November 2007, 19:48

This weeks TF2 starting now! :) GOGOGOGOG

Benny 22nd November 2007, 21:38

i'm out, but it was nice the only thing is i think the respawn time should be a little bit faster next time ;)

Bindibadgi 22nd November 2007, 22:51

yea respawn was crazy long

thanks for showing up, Benny

Jamie 22nd November 2007, 23:07

Curse Vista and it's rubbish new microphone settings.

Amon 22nd November 2007, 23:13

Crap, I almost forgot about this. But I want to be playing GT4 on playstation instead... grrrr choices..

Hugo 23rd November 2007, 09:12

Spawn times are set for each map and change based on in-game variables (which team is winning on this map, how many capture points taken, number of players etc). That data is held in the map bsp file itself.

Basically, as it currently stands I can't change it.

steveo_mcg 23rd November 2007, 09:32

When you are defending its meant to take longer to spawn, gives a little more incentive not to die. It also gives the attacking team a chance since they can frag the entire other team and have a few seconds to secure the spawn point.

Kurayamino 23rd November 2007, 21:37

Is the UT3 up and running on the server, obviously since the UT Devs decided not to put a connect to IP button I cannot type the IP in. Does anyone know of another way or what is the servers actual name?

Tried that doesnt support UT3 yet. Trying gamespy but there doesn't seem to be a connect via IP address thing either and I cannot find anything under bit or trusted when doing a name search :(

poot 24th November 2007, 11:03

i thought the all seeing eye essentally died about 2-3 years ago. basically they stopped updating it.

As for spawn times on tf2 i thought this was an admin controlled variable. some servers I have been on even have instant respawn just like original tfc

I think if you right click in the server list area, you will get a small menu, and you should get an option to connect by ip

If not, x-fire pwns :)

Blademrk 24th November 2007, 17:12

ok, now I got UT3 installed and running - How do I find the Bit-Tech server in game? I can't seem to find anywhere to enter the IP address, is there a console command I can use?

Edit: Just Downloaded X-Fire and I can't seem to add the Bit UT3 server to the list. This is getting frustrating...

Slightly reassuring that im not the only one, I managed to add it as a favourite on gamespy but it was blank had a ping of 9999 so I could assume it isn't actually running!

Bindibadgi 24th November 2007, 18:32

Im not sure if Hugo has it running yet, I'll check with him on Monday

Blademrk 24th November 2007, 18:34

it is running, found a way of getting in:
F10 to open console and then type "open 194.74.152.172:7777" without the quotes.

F10 in UT3 does open the console [shrugs]

Jamie wasn't talking about UT3 though.

Blademrk 24th November 2007, 19:18

Ah, TF2. It gets confusing talking about 2 different games in the same thread.

Jamie 24th November 2007, 19:27

I also can't run UT3 :P

completemadness 24th November 2007, 23:27

In X-fire

Go to Servers tab
Right click on "Favorites"
Click "Add Custom IP to Favorites"
Select UT3 (or demo if that's the case) from the dropdown
Enter the IP (maybe the port, not sure with UT3 ...)

Click ok and double click your new entry to launch UT3 and connect to the server

Blademrk 25th November 2007, 00:00

Game dropdown is blank in my x-fire, and nothing happens when I add the IP :P

completemadness 25th November 2007, 00:02

I tried that Unreal Tournament 3 isn't there. I think its safe to assume that Bindi is correct and it isn't running yet!

Blademrk 25th November 2007, 15:50

X-fire detects I have UT3 installed fine, but it won't show up in the the add server window.

To connect to the BT server just open the console and type open 194.74.152.172:7777 and you'll get into the BT server

Kurayamino 26th November 2007, 05:40

:O so it does work, may people on there playing UT3????

Wrong assumption. I had it running on Friday but I can't work out why it isn't in the server list - all the info my end indicates it should be, bu tI have to join manually.

Blademrk 26th November 2007, 20:27

I managed to get on the server on Saterday (CTF with 1 Blue win & 1 Red win but no players), but I couldn't get in on Sunday when I tried...

Hugo 27th November 2007, 11:39

UT3 server seems to be showing up on the main list now. got it running VCTF atm, but may change to warefare because I prefere it. Votes below:

Kurayamino 27th November 2007, 12:39

Sorry for my bad assumption, anyone going to be playing UT3 tonight? Also I'd vote for some dm team or not. DM rock's :) capture the flags fun but some of the maps cause deadlock, so you have to be prepared to spend an insane ammount of time on one map!

Blademrk 27th November 2007, 16:06

if it's running, I may jump on for 5 (that's 5 minutes, not 5 o'clock btw).

I am enjoying the single player, but I think I'm going to have to replay it again once I get a decent graphics card - going by the screenshots, on a top end system, it should look as Gears does on the 360.
Now I know it shouldn't look *that* good on my 6600, but I would have thought it should look at least look as good as UT2004 did - however, on my system It looks like Doom.

Bindibadgi 27th November 2007, 17:09

Anyone want me to shedule a TF2 match for Thursday again?

steveo_mcg 27th November 2007, 17:44

Yup!

BigD79 28th November 2007, 11:11

The GF is off on a latenight shopping mission and I'm back home for once, Thursday sounds good!

Bindibadgi 28th November 2007, 11:30

Ive been TRYING to log it in the Cal on Steam but Steam servers have been so slow it's timing out :(

Kurayamino 28th November 2007, 21:55

I think you should all come play UT3 instead :P

Elz 29th November 2007, 08:50

Am I doing something wrong, or have there really been 0 players on the TF2 server every single time I look? The lateny info updates constantly so I assume that I am indeed properly connected, but... :?

steveo_mcg 29th November 2007, 09:02

It tends to be empty outside of the bit meets.

Hugo 29th November 2007, 09:11

And during some of the time.

keir 29th November 2007, 15:36

May I suggest a bit of low grav on the grainary map tonight :D

Bindibadgi 30th November 2007, 11:43

I completely forgot about TF2 last night :o

will. 30th November 2007, 12:00

I didn't but I was drunk and trying to do work... Bad mix apparently.

Hugo 30th November 2007, 12:34

Works fine for me :D

steveo_mcg 1st December 2007, 12:44

Any one see the steam update news... 36 new achievements for all you (us) award whores!

Kurayamino 1st December 2007, 23:08

Anyone up for some UT3???

steveo_mcg 4th December 2007, 23:13

Man i hate the internet some days, i'm practically holding the first cp on the second stage of dustbowl by my self, i'm starting to run low on health after killing a good dozen people, so i head back into the shack for health and ammo as i do a spy sneaks up and caps the point. The bloody engy who put a health station 5 minutes walk away, says "steveo you suck so bad".... ffs.
/rant

If the other team hadn't been full i'd have swapped sides and made sure he was burning for the rest of night!

will. 6th December 2007, 12:27

Everyone up for some TF2 tonight? I'm not doing anything this week so I'll be in there putting down some uber healing powa!

Hugo 6th December 2007, 12:34

I'm not planning to schedule an event, but the sever is there if people want to turn up - I'm replaying Bioshock again atm.

cjmUK 6th December 2007, 14:42

Myself and one other will probably be free just after 8 if there are others interested....

steveo_mcg 6th December 2007, 14:58

I'll be up for it, hopefully I'll have had my dinner before we start this time.

Elz 6th December 2007, 18:51

i'll be there, but i'll have to stop at nine for never mind the buzzcocks :p

Kurayamino 7th December 2007, 12:25

UT3 Tonight anyone? I wanna pwn you all ;)
