The X-Mas Retro HLDM Map Tournament Created 13 years ago2011-11-12 19:52:29 UTC by Daubster

Great, we'll add it to the rotation.

In other news, the tournament's on tomorrow night at 7PM! Be sure to join the warmup session tonight!

I'll submit this then!http://twhl.info/vault.php?map=5342

Oh would someone who actually has the map set up a new link please? I don't have the map on this computer. If there is no link to it, this map is lost and i'll unsubmit this.

We can add it as soon as you find a working d/l. It all starts tomorrow though, so make haste! Would love to see a snow map in an xmas tournament.

Thanks, but it's missing some files:

Good luck everyone!

Important:

Obligatory download of maps before the tournament begins: http://oskar-lh.name/twhl/tournament-maps

The tournament begins in one hour and twenty minutes from now. Even if you only play a single map, you'll have a chance for the prize. The more frags you collect throughout the tournament, the higher are your chances of winning. In order to be able to win, your player name must contain your TWHL username.

Why do I always get "STEAM validation rejected"?

"STEAM validation rejected"?

That error comes up if someones using a pirated copy on a protected server, but you've been here long enough so I know thats not the case

spag: just try restarting steam

Man, rim's maps are great hldm fun! i really enjoy feeding you-all's kill ratio. =P

I get an error "Duplicate headers received from server" upon trying to download the maps and stuff

did you download the pack? potato listed above?

I mean trying to download from the link provided I get that error. In-game download just said it would take 15 minutes so I left to use the pack here and found that it didn't work.

Here's a mirror.
Note: does not contain dm_snowy

Thanks

Bah, it was just me being dumb. Got the wrong command for the pass.

Great games so far! Having a quick break, be back on in 15 mins!

Almost missed this completely. Damn starting st 5am. I wake around 9 atm.

Good games guys!
Had an absolute blast.

The results are being calculated now, if all goes well we should have a winner tonight!

Huge thanks to everyone who joined in!

Had a total blast as well. Can't wait for the results!

Hells ya! Rims maps were amazing! wish i had time to play for the whole session, but it was truly great fun. =P

SpaG: that christmas avatar is fffing awesome.

[m]We have a Winner![/m]
Congratulations to Joebama! - with 650 kills and 745 deaths (0.87 K:D)
He added this and this to his stocking.

Due to a blunder on our end, we've somehow managed to miss lost_technology, which in result was never played. To at least somehow make up for this, it has been made the default map on the HLDM server. Meaning that whenever the server restarts, lost_technology will be the first map it runs. Apart from that, it is also on the regular map rotation. Really sorry about that, Zeeba.

dm_shipment was also never played due to it causing a crash in the server. Sorry, 2much!

The final score table in all its notepad glory (note that all frags from the round with cheats on were not counted):Note that the list order was randomized as well before counting the tickets.

The randomizer result:A new lucky number for you, Joebama?

HLTV demos:

Massive thanks to all of of you who've taken part (especially for your patience with our countless technical fuckups ) & to all the authors who had the guts to submit their maps! Also huge props to potatis_invalid for hosting the server, and to Archie & Urby for their endurance in shoutcasting the whole thing!

Archie's working on the shoutcast video, which should be coming soon.

Happy Holidays, and Good Game!

enjoyed it... Mostly. 6 hours is a tad too long

Good game and congrats joebama - you deserved it!
Unlucky x-layer, all of us in the shoutcast took bets on who would win and I picked you.

Also can I just say that I have most deaths because half the time I was checking the scores or getting info about the maps to commentate!

Video with commentary from daubster, urby and myself coming soon. Possibly within the next few hours, but probably tomorrow. Done 2 maps so far and it's working out at about four minutes per map, so it'll be a pretty long video.

Thanks!

I didn't know it was a Tournament, I was just playing for fun. Shit.

Aw, I guess I didn't have most deaths Second most frags though

@Archie Got close but Joebama was better, he always has been.

GG guys had a blast

Way to miss out on awesomeness x_X Dang school.

You have school on Saturday\Sunday? Fuck that school.

• Best KDR: 2.8 (Ruffee) Ballz of stainless steel
• Best Round: 115 frags (Ruffee) My nick is also spelled with 1 "f"
• Least times spent in fridge: 0 (Bruce)
And the fact that the guy with the most frags won isn't gonna make Bruce particularly happy
And i managed to swear on the end of the round in my map

Anyway was a fun tourney hope there will be more soon
And do something about the lag next time k ?

Hell of a game. Was actually physically exhausted afterwards. Mostly because I'd had 2 hours sleep but still. Couldn't keep my eyes open during the following GTA4 rampage with Archie and had to go to bed.

Congratulations Joebama. I do recall most of my arse kickings were delivered by yourself.

Fixed the name spelling.

Thanks Dabuster.

Here are the highlights of the retro HLDM tournament, painstakingly edited from five hours of footage.

The running order of the maps is in the video description along with links to skip to that part of the video.

Was a blast, great job on putting it all together

Yeah, great job on the vid! Had a great time as well and enjoyed the commentary.

Great video Archie, you guys are hilarious. Good job Joebama! Would be fun to see with some newer maps.

Great vid

"Worst Round: -84 frags (GoldSourceForever) "

ROFL

I'm horrid at DM as well or were u intentionally jumping of cliffs?!

i believe it was RPG Deathmatch. He was complaining about lag making it impossible to shoot rockets straight.

(Not sure if he realised that rockets can be "stolen" by other players laser sights)

Worst Round: -84 frags (GoldSourceForever)

That was subtracted from your total kills by the stats plugin. Put a reasonable dent in your overall score.

Actually it seems more like an unreasonable dent.

Not really.

Yeah the RPG map was unplayable for me. I protested the map by repeatedly blowing myself up. Worth it.
