Ah well. Still hard to beat good ol UT2K4 sniper servers. No they dont have the eye candy and the weapons are primitive by todays standards but fun.

Happy birthday

I wouldnt say it was very funny. Well... depending on how far up it went. Long neck bottle of beer?

Ah, Vicodin. Unless your dentist went for the really good stuff.

Only thing that would bug me for that is the page file. Earlier I set it so my page file was on a secondary hdd but it caused boot problems several times. So right now I just let it do its thing automatically. Fortunately I was able to put cod4 on the hdd so as not to take up 50gb or more on the ssd. Lot of maps certainly but development needs a great deal of space also.

Ouch. I remember when the dentist removed all four of mine. Three were not so bad. But the fourth was growing sideways... which was causing the most pain... and they had to drill a big hole in my gums to get it out.

Beforehand? Sex of course. At the end, that they were stupid. Who here thinks shitting is more enjoyable than sex?

I remember when 250gb was considered massive. Now, the first thought that comes to mind is that its too small. Oh how times change.

Yes 35 years ago today the first Pac Man arcade console was born. I feel so fucking old. http://www.wired.com/2015/05/pac-man-35th-anniversary/

I do have to say that I am quite happy with the ssd I got for the main drive. A samsung evo or some such. I would have liked a bigger one but didnt have the funds for it. Maybe next time I get one the prices will be better.

Be sure the key is bound. I assume it was B.

No it doesnt matter where you are for the packages. Or if you are frozen. Push the button and all of them are unlocked at once. I dont know about being dead in OT yet. If someone has a chance to try it let me know. For the car, yea you should have died. For all practical purposes you are just standing there holding a pad driving the car. Just in this case you cannot be shot. If you are dying from Venom (or in other games bleeding out) then heal yourself with a bandage first. Health packs are dropped quite often. If you see one and you dont have a full amount left... I think 3... pick it up. However, if you actually die it should have respawned you frozen where you turned into a car. Will check that out.

Hehe guess they got rid of it. It should have said Osama and his son not Obama. A typo? Or was someone trying to say something.

Often to check out stories I go to the wire services directly instead of Yahoo or the others. No ads to deal with or things of that sort. Bunch of documents released today taken from the UBL raid. But this was the link. Aides tried to re-unite Obama and his son before raid

Candygram....

Does the sniper server have real sniper maps with random spawns? Not the usual mid sized urban ones or village ones? And not the no-crossing maps? I hate those.

Yea I know they all had drop on death. Which is also an option in the mod. But on this server you dont. If you want teamamtes to take packages you need to unlock them. Check multiplayer options. Not sure about overtime tho when you are specing after death. If that is what you mean.

I will check out claymores to see if there is a problem.

Yes that is possible but then people would start throwing the markers into places where nobody could go to hack or knife them. It would also be impossible to place them under cover or anywhere inside indoor maps. As for the cellphone and sentry check this out at the beginning. In terms of the time it takes to do things this way is much shorter than what it could be otherwise. Also unlike those games you no longer drop the sentries when you die.

Car speed is up to the admins. When it was too slow people complained. However two things. EMP throws will be the same as stun nades and faster. Also, plantable counter measure devices will slow them to %20 of their normal speed. Throw them in alleyways and such.

Thanks go to Rugger for moving the 146 test mod to a Windows server from Linux. Much better for map compatibility. Map rotations will be the same as the main server. The goal is to do things such as work on the Overgrown problem there first and make sure all is good. IP 192.95.22.174:28960 >XI< MW2 146b5 Test

Certainly possible. But not sure how many people would actually want to give up their streaks. As it is, they get upset when people take packages.

On the subject of packages, this is how it works. Each item is given a weight. The lower the item the greater the weight. Meaning the rc has a greater weight than a stealth bomber. A sum of all weights is created. So specific items occupy unique ranges in this sum. Note that in computereze you dont look look for a number between 1 and 10 (10 possible values). You look for a number between 0 and 9. examples: rcbomb weight is 10 artillery weight is 8 death machine is 2 tac nuke is 1 For a sum of 21 (range 0 to 20 in a list). In that range the rc occupies 0-9. Artillery 10-17. The death machine 18-19. The nuke 20. Pick a random number between 0 and 20 (21 possible values). If the number is 5 then you get the rc. If the number is 19 you get the death machine. This means to get the tac nuke you need a 20. Hard to get. BO and other games with care packages use this method. If you look them up they give numbers for weights. This is how they are used.

Ok for testing changed the order of some weapon caching in the mod and Overgrown seems to work ok. Nobody got kicked. Its an old problem with all mods that I thought I had licked by doing some things in a different way based on a method created by another modder. But in this case it looks like it didnt. For now, Overgrown is still out of the rotation and the script change was only temporary to make sure it worked. So everything is back to where it was yesterday since we know all the other maps in the current rotation work.

Ammo in attack packages? Ok that shouldnt happen. It's not even a valid type. You are sure about this? The crate had the Mario power up? Yea I know packages getting stolen is a bitch. But at least it wasnt by friendlies unless you unlocked them. However... next time throw in the occasional decoy. Does suggest something tho. Still working on the counter measures device and might be cool to have a function that locks out care packages to everybody if close enough. Of course if you die the device is removed, or if they shoot it, the crate loses protection. It wouldnt be invincible.
