Please allow for some love for Eastern US... I'm not a good player to begin with, so if I'm lagging it's gonna be plain painful ;)

I don't CS 1.6. I don't really CS, for that matter.
Though there was that one single solitary time I played CS:S with other people, playtesting someone's map (Tetsu0's, or Habboi's, perhaps?), and apparently I was "pro" according to I-don't-remember-who. I'll stay out while I'm ahead :sarcastic:

I don't mind a 100-200 ping so long as there's no jitter. Predictable ping isn't really a problem.

If i can finish the system maybe :D

There are some delays with the server, a lot of things at work which affect network (yes you're right im hosting a server at work)

As long as your security guys aren't going to think we've found a way into your systems to steal your source code to hack your registers/control systems, I'm good. ;) :P

de_kabul is a fun map if you never played it, though it's not in the map vault.. any peaks at the rotation?

are we going to play 1v1?
i think that de_kabul might be too large

btw. de_kabul made in Poland

I will update you on the rotation when i test out the maps in the server.
No its going to be csdm ffa for 12hrs and classic for the rest.

The test server is up: 82.135.236.6:27015 go test your ping, fast download is not yet configured though.

Current map rotation:
de_pizza
dm_basement_rats (only on CSDM part ?)
de_newhorizon
de_space
de_twhl2011
awp_2tabere_v2
de_dust_thunder

I nominate de_dragos
http://twhl.info/vault.php?map=4880

Just to be clear are we OK with 12hrs of CSDM and 12hrs of classic ? or should we scrap that idea and go with 2 map rotations with classic and CSDM after, totaling 8 hrs (more if more maps are submitted).

Since im still planing on hosting a US server we could do 19th of December EU and 20th US.

Feedback i demand it ! :)

Feedback
Playing CSDM on tight-layout maps like fy_snow and fy_pool_day is amazingsly fun, but after an hour or so it gets tedious. Maybe just appoint admins and change as needed, OR, keep it to classic imo :)

If you are looking for maps to include, definitely the ones above, and Kabul are keepers. Kabul isn't too big, imo, but hopefully we have a good turnout of course ;)

...what is CSDM?

I don't think any sane person can stand 12 hours straight :P

...what is CSDM?
Baby don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! NO MORE.

CSDM is CS deathmatch ya silly ;) (team deathmatch)

Also thanks for adding that mod, or is that just how csdm is always? with the fancy buy menu

I get 280-300.

Man is 747 ugly. Something felt off ten years ago, but right now it's straight up horrendous :P

It's hilarious they even tried to build a scale-model 747, IN GOLDSRC in the first place, especially back then :)

The plane itself is quite impressive, if a little bland inside; it's the proportions being wrong on everything that irks me, and the awful aspect of almost everything. I give it 7/10 on idea and 3/10 on execution :P

wtf
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-12 08:31:48 UTC Post #322748
Yeah this is ridiculous, the 24hr idea was to give everyone time to play you don't/shouldn't play for that long.

Anyway i am calling a vote for the setup

1. 8 maps (30min each) CSDM then another rotation with classic (total 8hrs)
2. 8 maps (30min each) CSDM only (total 4hr)
3. 8 maps (30min each) Classic (total 4hr)
4. 4 maps (30min each) CSDM and the other 4 maps Classic (total 4hr)

do u really want to play 8 hours? i thought we will be playing 2 hours max a game
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-12 16:18:35 UTC Post #322758
The others lasted 5-6 hours. You are not required to be playing the whole time if you don't want to :)

I've had a look on the server twice. The first time, I had an average ping of around 275, although it went between around 100 to 500. The second time, it was averaging around 200.

And you were alone every time.

We should probably all go in at the same time.
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-14 21:48:22 UTC Post #322780
Maybe update the first post with all the info, to make it easier for newcomers to find :)

Are you going to add the actual maps to the server soon?

Must have forgot to update the maplist. They are there.

Once the map list is finalized, a unified zip would be nice, to make sure everyone is up-to-date (or has an easier time of getting everything :P).
TawnosPrime TawnosPrimeI...AM...CANADIAN!
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-15 12:17:53 UTC Post #322786
Zip and Http download in the server will be provided :)

The finalized list of maps:
  • de_pizza
  • dm_basement_rats
  • de_newhorizon
  • de_space
  • de_twhl2011
  • awp_2tabere_v2
  • de_dust_thunder
  • fy_17b_snow_village
  • de_minestorm
You can download them here http://rufee.eu/twhl_xmas_maps2014.zip

Format will be classic, 30min each map, ~5hrs the whole rotation.
Also what about the US players, i don't think 200ms is acceptable so the idea to host a US server remains, we can either run the tourney on both servers at once which makes the US start somewhere after noon or we can split and do 19th for EU 20th for US ?
