Or just do that in-game from your console. Make sure, when in-game, both punkbuster A and B are running.

Didnt realize the test server isnt listed on the main page. So the IP is 162.248.95.159:29060 Check it out.

Tis I, the great and powerful Sammy. Ahem... I looked and it shouldnt be possible for two of them to be up at the same time. Unless I suppose there is an unusual timing issue under very specific circumstances. There was a bug where the damage functions werent properly removing a destroyed defroster. But I thought I fixed that. So just so I understand, there were two of them *before* attempting to shoot one down?

You two were on different teams for the defroster? If so, that could be related. Not entirely sure if its supposed to allow both teams to have one up at the same time. I dont think so. As for the tac nuke, maybe someone fucked with things before it could kill everyone.

Internet Explorer. But of course they got into trouble for that fiasco.

I *might* have found the problem with the player count but it needs to be monitored in-game to be sure. It is possible that the numbers are wrong if a new player joins the game and chooses a team but is put into spectate until the round is over. So this person may not actually be considered frozen. If this is the problem then it might be related to a fix that took care of rounds not ending even tho everyone is frozen or not in the game. Or it was some problem like that where the rounds wouldnt end. Does anyone remember what that problem was? It also might be caused by players going to spectate during OT. If you can, plz keep an eye out for this. Thx.

Hi all. Uploaded some new maps for testing on server #2. They are on the redirect for in-game downloads but currently not on the downloader. I invite everyone to try them out and see if there are any problems. A few map downloads are large. 100+ MB. But they are also very nice maps. They are various sizes. Some the typical cod size. Others medium. A few fairly large. Some daytime some nighttime. Give em a try and let me know your opinions or if there are any issues. I already know some are going to hate the big maps while others will like them but if used they would be short matches. One of the big ones is real dark so I already know it likely wouldnt work but give it a try. Night fighting in a big area requires a much different play style to win than the same-ol same-ol boring shit. A few in the rotation are actually existing maps but were previously on the 'bad list'. "gametype ftag map mp_welshvalley4_night map mp_waw_castle map mp_luna2 map mp_waw_toujane_night map mp_welshvalley4 map mp_osg_drone_p map mp_aliens map mp_woodrr map mp_farmland_beta map mp_mos_espa map mp_farmland_beta_night"

I guess the question is, which gender is the part up front.

You likely have realtek sound. Go into the settings. Not sure where. Disable automatic front audio jack detection. Otherwise it wont load the proper driver when you boot up the computer.

The question is, when its her turn to look for stuff are you going to help pick out things? Or are you going to say 'see ya' and hope the bill isnt too high?

How is this for potential BS for some? One of the things some have said is the annoying habit of douche bags that eat their own nades when a tac nuke was called in. After a minor discussion with iBoom I checked to see if I could prevent people doing that from damaging themselves and not cause problems in the process. The answer to that is no. I cannot stop suicides. However... what I can do is apply a negative score to those that do. If you suicide yourself, and a nuke is in progress, you lose 1000 points. Of course the only ones that would be affected by this are the aforementioned douches.

For every PC zealot on the left there is an intolerant asshole on the right. They both behave the same but have their own particular issues they insist they are right about and those that disagree are one of 'them'.

Like I said, change it so that and the end its two women... pick the ethnicity of your choice... then the right will act all butt hurt about the lgbt agenda. Over a soap commercial. Try and tell them they are just seeing things and they will say you just dont understand.

Well, I suppose some could see that as suggesting black guys are unclean while Chinese are clean. Switch the ethnicity around and the effect would be the same. Chinese are unclean and blacks are clean. Or change the black guy to the typical Mexican day laborer, and the woman white suburbanite, and it suggests Mexicans are unclean. Or if you really want to go for it, the woman is white. The painter is white and unclean. She washes him. Out comes a good looking black dude with the white woman. Show it in the south where many white men dont like that idea. All the exact same idea but switching the characters around and the point of view. Want to rile up butt hurt Republicans? In goes an unclean white guy. Out comes a great looking woman. Wait for the rants about LGBT agendas on Fox. Its all about whether or not you perceive something that may or may not be there. Humans are schizo that way.

To add: One of those things I didnt spend much time on, simply because I didnt screw with it to begin with, is that if a car is hit with a flash or stun grenade should have the same effect as it would on a player. However the owner having a tacmask does protect against them. Just to post for standard tacnade timings. Flashbangs have a short timer. EMP and smoke explode when they are no longer moving. Stun grenades explode the moment they hit something. So flashbangs have the greatest effect and range but the the timer gives a car a pretty good chance to get away unless its doing something like defrosting or hanging around. EMP will kill all cars in its radius but wont explode until its at rest. Throwing at range usually means it will bounce few times first, depending on terrain. Stuns explode immediately and with an accurate throw is the most likely to hit but does have distance checks for how much the car is affected (like players) and wont kill it. So all have their particular balances just like player weapons.

At some time in the past the minimum linear damage here... starting at the farthest range... was less. The default assumes softcore and 100 health. So if you were at the outer edges it would severely hurt you but not kill. Currently, because it is 30 health, if you are anywhere in the blast radius you are dead. Not accounting for obstructions or possibly the flak jacket. Uses the same internal game function that nades use. You feed in position, range, and min/max linear damage and the engine calculates whether or not you got hit and by how much. I can do nothing else to affect that. Right now the numbers match C4. However since the speed of the car is double the default... by popular demand to make it a more effective defroster... it also makes it that much harder to kill. One of those things the senior admins would have to decide on if they think gameplay would be helped to be a little more in favor of ftag than tdm.

Getting stuck with semtex is a bitch also. But it does mean you can go banzai on the one that threw it and maybe take him with you when you explode. I wonder if I made up a bonus for that.

Forgot to add, server restarted last night to test things.

Could always turn down the explosive radius of the car. On your marks... get set... let the complaints begin.

pcpartspicker.com might help you.

It was too hard to control and make reliable. Tried to make it so but its outside of what the game engine would allow. If there is one thing I learned, people in this server like to try all kinds of silly shit and its a constant battle to make sure people dont do stuff that fuck things up.

Pretty sure it will do it for anything using mp3. Note that mp3 is used for a lot more than just music.

Sometimes people... such as myself... just dont know. Sounds like a pretty beefy card that will probably handle anything for several years to come. Specs suggest you will also need a monster PSU. TBH you might not find someone here that actually bought one.

Ok thx. Weapon mismatch errors can usually be fixed. Blackout should be 3 of 5 rounds. A couple settings were wrong yesterday and fixed but perhaps the server hasnt been restarted yet. Anyways, Blackout hasnt been played for a long time on this server and its possible client-side one of the map files is corrupt. edit: mismatch error happened at home. One of those things I didnt check for. But adding the map to the server setting for it seems to take care of it. Setting will take effect next restart. Thanks for the info. Helped find a quick resolution to the problem.

Take it out and most everyone else will scream at me.
