Colony of Gamers, New TF2 Server Information

To make sure you're ready for the new TF2 server, start using:

Server Address
tf2.rainwave.cc:27015
Server Location: Chicago, IL

COG TF2 Thursdays is the best thing ever! Join in!
The date: Every Thursday!
The time: 8:30pm Eastern

Other Events
Join the COG Steam Group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/colonyofgamers) to be notified of other events.

Custom Maps
We're not currently running any custom maps on the server.

Installed Server Mods
- Sourcemod, so the usual bunch of admin tools and fun commands (drugs/gravity/slapping)
- Auto Team Assignment. Pick a class to spawn when you join the server!
- Class Limiter: A maximum of 3 players per class, with spies and snipers restricted to 2 players at a time
- Spray Tracing
- Sudden Death Melee
- Team Talk
- Map Voting/Rock the Vote: Maps are chosen before the end of every round.
- CTF Timer: A timer is shown by the briefcase icon on your HUD, showing you how long until the case is returned to the base.
- Reserved Slots (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=20336) for giving CoG members priority.

Talking To Only Your Team on the Server
Open [Steam Directory]\steamapps\[account name]\team fortress 2\tf\cfg\autoexec.cfg (create it if you don't have it) and add this:

alias +teamonly "+teamtalk;+voicerecord"
alias -teamonly "-teamtalk;-voicerecord"

bind [YOUR KEY HERE] +teamonly

Save, and then that key lets you voice-talk to only your teammates! You know it's working when you hear some Half-Life beeps when you press and release your team-only talk button.

Server Administrators have remote admin access and can change the server config, reboot the server, or kick and ban players:
LiquidRain
Ghostbear
OrangePulp
Ten19

Game Administrators can kick or ban players in-game as well as change the map:

Lack of attendance most likely. HOWEVER, if you sign up on the new Steam CoG group you can attempt to re-organize a Tuesday night TF2 or another game of your coice

Both.
What caused Tuesdays to die?
As axion said, a combination of games and school. I argue that part of it has been a lack of anyone regularly scheduling events in the EvAv Steam Community. Sure, everyone probably knows that it's Tuesday and Thursday at about the same time, but I could swear those events made a difference.

That amount is in the black - the server's got plenty of money right now.

I keep the donor's list as updated as I can - I always post in the threads asking who made a donation if I can't guess from the email! cp# if I missed a donation from you, let me know your email in private or the donation amount or date or whatever floats your boat and I'll check it all out. :)

So, thanks to two donors now: Ten19 and LordDon. Thanks a bunch fellas! Ten19's was originally an "anonymous" donor who didn't heed my call to take credit for a donation, so I'm giving it to him now that I confirmed his donation. :)

Actually, I've heard from a little birdy, that apparently a fiber optic cable has already been setup by APT Alaska (my dsl co.), and that the only reason they aren't using it is because of competition laws and that the competing Cable Company (GCI) has to announce and start using theirs (supposedly on the 15th of this month).

Although another birdy told me that the reason they aren't using it is because they don't have anyone with the tech skills to set it up on staff. (Apparently they've had a digital phone system setup for about 10 years but are still using analog because no one can figure it out lol).

I do have good news on that front. I shouldn't have to setup that wireless system ranged wireless system anymore, Aniako. I guess that the competing cable company will begin using their fiber optics cable on oct. 15, at which point my ISP can officially announce that they have a fiber optics cable as well and can go ahead and finish setting it up.

Here's hoping I get good speeds by the L4D launch date :)

I had a pretty good feeling that's what affected respawn times. I didn't notice that spectator tries to find people of the same class, though! Maybe that's 'cause I tend to pick classes others aren't using?

And they're clearly just toying with us with those quote headlines, since now there's one for the Demoman, Spy and Engineer all since they announced getting back to work.

"HUNTER"


FADE IN


1 EXT. OUTER SPACE 1

The infinite blackness punctuated by a billion stars.
As we slowly DESCEND through the varied shades of blue
of the Earth's atmosphere, we HEAR the first strains of
a haunting, Central American FLUTE, joined by a swelling
background of JUNGLE SOUNDS. We descend further,
through a lush JUNGLE CANOPY, backlit by a setting sun.

DISSOLVE TO:



2 EXT. JUNGLE COASTLINE - DAY (MAGIC HOUR) 2

Through a collage of shimmering HEAT-WAVES, a dark,
OTHER-WORLDLY OBJECT drops INTO VIEW, backlit by the
fiery, ORANGE-RED sphere of a setting tropical SUN,
heading slowly towards us, floating, as if suspended by
the rising heat of the jungle.

Continuing to approach, the shimmering object resolves
into a MILITARY ASSAULT HELICOPTER, its rotors strobing
in the fading sunlight. Drawing closer, the SOUND of
powerful TURBINES, throbbing in the heavy air, becomes
dominant, overpowering.

Guided by COLORED SMOKE and LANDING LIGHTS, the chopper
looms hard INTO VIEW, pitching forward and settling to
the ground, kicking up a maelstrom of dust and vegetation

Hey, I think that might be one of the times I popped Orange. For whatever reason, he liked putting his head in front of my gun last night. My favorite was still when he was medic-ing and thought he found a safe spot to build uber... heh heh...

Either that, or when the "Housewives are hot" guy asked how to do rocket jumps. :)

Don't worry Bone, you'll always be my pet Heavy of choice. Woe to those who get stuck on my team, but you seem to get the unlucky honor more often than not. GigaFuzz gets a close second with Orange following a far third. Orange doesn't need a medic, he's a one man army.

I seem to remember having quite a good run with you when I was a medic, though I can't remember which map. Sometimes running in blindly pays off better than it has any reasonable right to. :D

There have been times as a Medic where I've lost the person I was healing, and ended up running through the enemy's lines trying to get back to safety. Occasionally I'll get a few kills in there while wildly swinging the ubersaw around, and even more occasionally, somehow survive with half the enemy team standing around me.

When I'm on a roll, I can manage my opponent's lines of sight and rush effectively. Of course having good medics like you guys helps immensely. So I have those rare moments of being a mobile sentry and the rest of the time I'm a roaming meatpuppet.

Should I turn the server off so we're not paying for it while we all get L4D out of our systems?

Or should I turn the server into L4D server(s) for us?

Right now it seems we're paying for a server we're barely using.

Lint of Death
11-13-2008, 09:38 AM
If that means we can save the money already invested in it for a later date, then I think that makes sense to suspend the server. While I like the thought of converting it into a L4D for a time, I don't see how we'd be able to make deliberate use of it given the matchmaking system.

Lon Lon Rabbit
11-13-2008, 09:57 AM
As Lint says, shut it down for a few weeks if that doesn't lose any funds.

Matchmaking works well enough in L4D that we don't need our own place (provided there's more dedicated servers out for the full game launch which I assume there will be).

Stick it back up once we all come crawling back to TF2 in a few weeks/months.

There are ways. For instance, you can add a search key to your server, and force the client to only join servers with that key. You can also password protect your servers once again.

Set a sv_search_key to a unique string on the server
Do the same on each client that will want to connect
Start a map on the server
Searches for games should be restricted to only finding servers with that search key

or

Set sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
Set sv_password to a non-empty string
Start a map on the server
Tell the client the IP address of the server
Client uses console to "connect [ip]" just like the good old days
Should result in password prompt during connect to server

Also, seems the server software for L4D is a little less system intensive. Information on how to run multiple dedicated servers on a single system can be found here --> http://www.left4dead411.com/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=9&topic=5674

While I like the thought of converting it into a L4D for a time, I don't see how we'd be able to make deliberate use of it given the matchmaking system.

Apparently, Valve is going to be making some changes with the way dedicated servers work and the server browser. They realize that people don't want to host servers that their friends cannot join sometimes, or when other people join, they get kicked (which lessens the user experience of the randoms).

So, I'm assuming they are going to be putting a provision in for private dedicated servers.

I know I'll be playing both. I'd like it if we could have both servers, but if we have to temporarily shut down the TF2 server, we should try to commandeer some pub server.

LiquidRain
11-13-2008, 02:21 PM
Of course it'd be only temporary, and leaving it up and running is up to the people who are likely to pay for it. :)

I just got the bill today, which prompted the post, so the server would stay running till December the Whateverth, 2008, and then get yanked. (at which point ,we may well decide to go back to TF2...?)

Like I said, it's up to you guys, every month is about $37 though IIRC.

I could always attempt to put up a TF2 server on Rainwave's server. I'd be aching a bit for RAM, I think, with Rainwave running on it but I know it has the CPU horsepower to do it. I'd probably delegate the actual installing and setting up of the server to somebody else; I got enough on my hands with Rainwave and life as it is.

I don't want to play TF2 weekly because of L4D, but not because I will be playing L4D but because valve has halted all work on TF2 until L4D is done.

I'll be back when the next update hits, assuming it hits at least one class and adds a map or two.

Until then I'd rather play Gears2 over tf2 or l4d.

I love it when people die from fall damage inside a low roofed tunnel or room. I think it happens when they jump and then get crit sploded above their head, and it gives them heaps of momentum towards the ground, even though they may have only been 1 inch into the air.

Yah the damage seems to be based on momentum not height, otherwise the scout would die on some of the big jumps you do with him where at the same time you can take damage from a pipe bomb jump that doesn't go very high just because you are moving so fast.

I played a zombie custom map one time. Blue had infinite respawns, but could only be Heavy, Scout and Spy, and could only use Melee. Red could only be Engy, Soldier, Pyro and I think Demo, and Engies could only make level 1 Sentries. Whenever a blue killed a red, they respawned on blue. Was good fun.

Now some pics:
