Welcome JR, knew it wouldn't be long

I don't think that the Panzerfausts will work to be honest. We have flamethrowers on DM and they can lag the game to all hell - I have no clue what the panzerfausts will do. But, I can give it a go. If I want to bring CTF into the TDM server it will have to go to a voting system where you can vote for either CTF or TDm BUT that is something I haven't looked at. There is a map vote system but not sure on mode vote. I am not sure if people will be happy with a random CTF map coming up because some players will just come in for CTF, some for TDM which is why the event server will be used for all the CTF stuff.

Missing the whiner badge though, can I borrow yours? I used to hop all over the damn place but getting better lol

THIS IS CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSION SO THIS MAY OR MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE A THING! Morning/Afternoon idiots! Firstly, thank you everyone who came to the event over the weekend to remember our fallen members! It was a blast and it was great to see some of the older members turn up and not just the regulars of CoD2. Was great fun all around. I wanted to gauge the feedback though. What went well and what didn't, that's all. The reason being is that I would like to put forward an idea to you guys. Something that I've been meaning to do for some time now. Monthly CTF! Yes, monthly CTF. The CTF was a huge success over the weekend, an all around great time by all. How would you people be if I were to have a weekend dedicated every month to CTF? Perhaps the last or the first weekend of the month? It's requested a lot and we never seem to do anything about it. There's no point in making these events if there's not much interest which is why I am here now. This kind of idea has always been drifting around for some time but I want to actually make it a thing. We owe our roots of >XI< to CoD2 and CTF and I'd be more than happy to revisit all that with you fookers. What do you feckers want? I am also very happy to hear that the weapons were enjoyed all around. Especially shotties only or pistols only. I want to see if we can bring those into both TDm and CTF, mix it up a bit. There's only so much bunny hopping most of us can take! Any changes will likely not be done until the new year! Lets just unwind for a little! The Event server is still open for business should anyone want to play on it before anything changes!

Thank you to everyone that came along this weekend and thank you for all of the good feedback about the server; it's great to see that it was well received and I'll keep it in mind for when Loader and I get rolling on the next event. I'll make a new post regarding the feedback to this when I get some sleep - it is 5.30a.m here and I haven't slept. There are a few ideas I would like to put forward regarding new events. I just want to say that the main purpose of this event was to remember our fallen members, which I am sure we will all do so in our thoughts and prayers. Forever in our hearts and minds.

I'll PM you on this, it's something Loader and I have been chatting about every now and then.

Great to have you all come around! Loader and I worked hard on that one, but I am happy that it went well! The server is not only for the memorial event though, I am hoping to host other events on there. Perhaps CTF on the last weekend of every month? (let me know please!)

There's another way to fix this as well, if you go into the main CoD2 Directory and then: main>players>yourname>config_mp.cfg. Open it up in a text editing software such as notepad++ or something and find this: seta r_mode "?x?" (? being your current resolution) and then change it to the maximum your monitor allows such as mine is 1920x1080. It is also down to what renderer the game uses. Find: seta r_rendererPreference "none" and change it to: seta r_rendererPreference "dx7" This will force the game to run in dx7 which is the most stable way to run the game. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE SERVER THE PATH FOR THE CONFIG WILL BE: main CoD2 directory>28>players>yourname>config_mp.cfg This is because every mod will make its own config file, the 'main' is different to 'xitdm' which is different to '28'. You just need to make the same changes as above. I had the same issues until I did it like that.

Much love brother! Happy to help out, as always. If anyone gets any issues with installing the game, connecting or downloading, please let @loaderXI or myself know and we'll see what we can do.

If it is the steam version of the game, Right Click, Properties, Verify Game Files. Something along those lines. It will scan the game against the version Steam has and if you have any missing files, it will redownload them for you. Usually those two files come installed with the game. Have you moved anything about or made any changes to the game at all?

If you get any problems with playing, let me or @loaderXI know, we'll help you out for sure!

We'll end you CoD4 lot. Just sayin'

The game might not actually be crashed, it could just be the download itself. If you have console enabled, open it with ` (just above tab) and type this: /disconnect Then open it again and type: /reconnect It will reset your connection to the server and might help

Only issue with that though is for some its a massive habit, to bunny hop when shooting and being shot. Yes we can make it a rule but if people stick to it, that's another thing. I'll break it in five seconds!

It all depends on how sensitive you make it, which is the really fine tuning bit. Too sensitive and every small bump you make that takes you off the floor will put your gun away until you land again which is a real pain in the ass. Have it too low and its basically nothing happens. I have looked through the other scripts on the mod that we use and the playercontrol.cfg script is the only one to manage it. It looks to me that it comes into play every time you jump and Loader and I have tested this briefly to see what we're going to be messing with. I'll take a deeper look at it with him when we get a chance.

<<< If you want to skip this, I'll add a TL;DR at the bottom for those who don't wanna read blocks of text >>> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >XI< TDM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First off, we are aware of the annoyance that is bunny hopping. We're all finding it a pain in the ass to deal with, my self included. I have been scratching my head on how to deal with this and so far, Loader and I have not been able to alleviate this issue. There is an option in the mod that we can toy around with that puts your weapon away when you jump, which is amazing on pen and paper but when put into action it would also put your weapon away if you fall off a roof or down a ledge, which is really not what we were aiming for considering the pace of the server. It takes a lot of fine tuning and I am hoping over the course of the next few weeks if Loader and I get time to, to try and sort this out. Although, we have already made some changes that you will notice when you come in. This is the weapons. The ability to choose every weapon has been disabled. This is because of the sniper maps. To make it easier for other people when it comes to sniper maps to actually KNOW it's a sniper. People such as Dirk You can select snipers ONLY! To make this happen I had to disable the ability to choose every weapon. Thankfully there's a work around. Your primary weapon will be for your team, your secondary weapon if your enemy. So regardless, you'll always have access to an M1 Garand or Kar 98k as American or British vs German and access to a PPSH when Russian vs German. I can try to see if I can make the PPSH available to everyone but once more, that will be on the back burner. I can do it on RCON to give a PPSH but that will only last for that map so it's not the sort of fix I am after but can do for the time being. So here I would like to propose a question: with the ability to edit the weapons on the maps, would you like me to have some maps where we do things such as shotguns only and perhaps bolts only? This is already active on the >XI< Fallen Member Memorial server! Which is of course, the next block of text! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Xi< Fallen Member Memorial Server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4 days left maggots! 4 days until this years Open House begins and you can all go nuts and beat the shit out of each other. This has been a love child between Loader and I for some time and we've got it all up and running and this beast is now LIVE for everyone to get in and have a go on even before the event. It features mixed modes DM, TDM, CTF, LIB and MIXED WEAPONS! What this means is that we're not only stuck to the one mode now, either DM or TDM. We have a good mix of modes and weapons now to cater to different things. You could be slugging it out with shotties in Moscow to Pistol whipping each others asses in an arena all the way to running around a chateau to free your buddies from jail and not get your ass handed to you at the same time! We've bought back the family favorite CTF so I am sure many of you will be more than happy with that one. We know these are always a blast and always a resounding success so it's the same maps as last year (plus a couple of extra ones). What Loader and I would love to do is give you guys the opportunity to get a family photo so at around 4 or 5pm EST we'll get everyone in and get a photo done so you can all get back to beating the shit out of each other. The IP for the server is: 63.251.20.230:28960 The best way to connect is to open the console with ` (above Tab and left of 1) and type in: /connect 63.251.20.230:28960 OR just copy and past that! You can also find it in the server browser under: >Xi< Fallen Member Memorial As I final note we are, as always, aware of the downloading to get in to the server. Some of you will get failures whilst downloading but that is out of our control, you just time out connecting to the server or downloading. Yes we have large map packs but that is down to how CoD2 handles maps and mods. On CoD4 and 5 it is much more streamlined which is why you have thousands of separate maps. Sadly we don't have that luxury so we're stuck to doing it a different. Luckily I only update the rotations every couple of months so you'll be fine once you get them! I won't be updating TDM until early next year, perhaps March time. TL;DR! Weapon changes on TDM, sniper maps have snipers only, event server is live and ready to go! We look forward to having you on the killing fields! If you enjoy this weekend you are always more than welcome to join us on TDM every weekend from about 9-10AM EST onwards. PainKiller out

I'll take these ones of your hand mate UK based, so if they are region locked its all good

Time to get you to drop those JR tags! You're over 18 so I petition to have your name permanently changed to W1arseP3R. Nice to see you make yourself known mate. I'm the same with you in terms of games. I'm not just stuck to CoD. At the moment its CoD2, 4, World of Warcraft and League of Legends being my main ones see you in the servers mate.

So, all I got from this was: "I am unhappy about a PERK that that developers put in the game to make people silent. Although I am more than happy to use all the other convoluted perks and settings on the server. I am going to bitch about it on the internet, I am sure everyone will agree!" WRONG. It's a perk the developers put in the game, it's not a hack to use it. Is it a hack then to use juggernaut to give yourself more health than others? Or to have more ammo? Or perhaps more grenades. All perks give you an advantage over someone else. That's why it's called a perk, an advantage. But to come here, give your opinion and say you're 100% right and say that everyone else is wrong and is a noob is actually the funniest part of this whole debacle - you state your opinion but close yourself off to everyone else's input and disagree with them. You just don't like the fact you're wrong. If it's so much of an issue, the perk would have been disabled by now. But if you get rid of one, you might as well get rid of them all because they are all classed as "hacks" in your opinion.

At least our faction can stay together for at least one expansion I have a horde retribution pally too but hardly use him. I just want to use horde to get the Zandalari troll faction after unlocking the shiny space goats (Lightforged Draenei)

Loader and I DO go on creativerse but not as much as we used to. If you want to play it, feel free to go in there or drop Loader or I a PM and we can come along if we're free. You can always add us on Steam as well. My main games are CoD2 and World of Warcraft so I am most likely on one of those two.

I have a retribution paladin. I beat things up with my hammer and its amazing! https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/eu/silvermoon/Ayumin

I play it daily, more than I admit

I have indeed, I have the use of my once broken arm again

I'd put the mirror away if I were you, you wouldn't want to upset yourself so much
