Well the Chi server that people get redirected to is the better mod. So go figure.

Ok I figure this is the old mod in NY.

Which mod and server? Error itself means the various ways of displaying text are being pushed too much.

Yes the game does not consider spectating as playing time. Currently the only things counted towards non-clan members is amount of actual playing time. Clan members also add scores and a small buffer of sorts as additional priorities.

Were those others clan members?

Example problem, assuming two players of the same skill for their particular classes: Specops over time potentially has a high number of kills but also a high number of deaths. While in comparison over the same amount of time a sniper would be low for both. For their particular classes those kinds of scores are to be expected and their K/D might actually be the same. Assuming both played 20 minutes how do you decide which one should have more priority than the other? If time and K/D are the same what else is there that would not place one class over another because of each ones specific role? Cant use traveled distance since one is usually stationary and one is not. Cant use accuracy since a good sniper that takes his time can easily be %90-%100 while specops would probably be less. Cant be streaks because how to you compare someone who got 3 RC's vs someone who got 2 airstrikes? I am open to ideas but everybody has their own of order of importance and what is fair so its hard to decide. But there is one simple solution. I could base the order on my own admittedly biased opinions and say thats that. Keeping in mind for example that I think a sniper that gets 15 osok headshots is a better player than one that gets 30 spray and pray kills.

I tried for civil service positions a couple times. Even with a disability they are hard to get. Congrats.

Its a tricky balance to decide who to kick. Score? Playtime? K/D ratio? Streaks? Everybody has their own idea of what should be the most important thing. As far as 'doing it', its a matter of figuring out the right things to plug into a math problem. Someone plays for 5 minutes and gets 1000 points. Another person plays for 20 minutes but gets only 500 points. Which one to kick? If its simply score then the guy that has played for 20 minutes is gone. Doesnt seem very fair. On the other hand someone that can get 1000 points in 5 minutes is pretty good in comparison. Cant just say too bad he hasnt played long enough.

oh ya? would like to get some more info on this? Their main website is at Mappers United. Go to the forums then the subforum for Redline.

A very talented group of modders are near completion of a total conversion of cod5... as far as it can go with the game... and it looks very cool. Redline.

I dont know about this particular game but sometimes 'modded' can mean 'hacked'. If its a legit addition to the game... like ace, x4 or ow2... then its a mod. But if someone screws with the executable or the standard game assets then its hacked. This is what Punkbuster and Steam are supposed to combat.

ACR is balanced as an M16 style weapon. Very accurate, little recoil, and high damage. If you want a full auto then the choice between AK, M4, Scarh or Steyr is plenty. All have their strengths and weaknesses depending on your play style.

When a new player joins every player is assigned a weight that is a combination of being an admin, a clan member, clan member score and the time played in seconds. Admins are given a very high weight so the only possible way one could potentially be kicked is if everybody in the server... in this case 24 or 32... is an admin as listed in the server configs. Clan members have an extra starting weight in addition to their current score. At this point all non-members have a zero weight. Last one added is the time played in seconds. Whoever has the lowest weight loses. Obviously a joining non-member would have a zero weight so he is the one to be kicked. Except in those servers that give negative scores for FF or something. In which case a player with a negative score would be kicked.

Never a waste. I already set up the package and sent the link for it to Rugger. So up to him but my recommendation was to put it on the Chi server for a little bit to see if there are any new kinks. Often happens that a 'fix' causes some other problem elsewhere. Ugh.

I suppose Trey is developing a list of people that got caught and that they view as actual hacks. Then in a month they will do a mass ban of every hacker they found. The list then starts again watching for them. Only way I can think of where they can do something without monitoring every single server of theirs 24/7.

I have been researching both and so long as the rig is good enough to me it looks like Win7 is more stable and compatible. The latest and greatest isnt necessarily the best. But this is coming from someone who uses XP and wouldnt have installed Vista if it was given to me for free.

Happy Turkey Day everyone! No traditional meal with the turkey and all that here. Eventually it becomes like watching Star Wars for the 100th time. I asked if there was anything more unique than just the same ol such as turkey or ham. So the request was homemade enchiladas. One of my specialties. But it still needs a tiny bit of tradition so I will be making cranberries on the side. With Christmas coming up maybe we will do the Christmas Story thing and I will make Chinese or Thai.

Is this the kind of jammer where you freeze? Or the one that just prevents you from pressing the fire button. Goes without saying that shouldnt happen. edit: ok yea more posts since I was writing this out. That was fixed in the current build of the mod.

Does it always happen with the emp nades? Or only sometimes?

When it happened, was the game in overtime?

This is happening on the latest version of the mod? edit: I mean being frozen. I know the emp effect itself is still blocking uav and messing up the screen.

Speaking of fucking clowns....

Self-guiding bullets.

At least it wasnt a shut out. But to be fair Chicago is playing with several handicaps at the moment.
