Hes not around because Jesus came back to earth and made it when he was bored, than went back to heaven. Sorry I keep saying that but that map is Godly! The gamplay worked out for the smaller map other wise it would be too easy to get past players to the capture points. It was very well layed out the way yours was.

Im striving to make a really fun map too like you rim. Thats what I did with my room there were tons of different things to do in it. Alright I know what im going to do. Muahaha I have a snow sprite! Im going to make a ancient snow/temple like map with surfing. I've been wanting to make a snow map since the competition. Flow control originally was snowy.

Edit: Wait a sec, capture points, duh with more than one capture point. That could be taken back by the other team! That would be gewdness.

aww.. why no psilos_killredux?!?

your just raciest! you prejudice!

F the spongebob map.. thats played out and lame (from creeps server) get a crossbow and hide above the ocean... xP didnt think gameplay out on that tribute

....
also, i personally wasn't too impressed with that 'Carbaseus' it was massive and difficult to navigate.. also there were not NEARLY enough gauss's for a map that is 6 story's high, and so massive... people were just sitting above me and laughing as they pooped grenades/rockets down at me

the team-play map was alright, kind of difficult when they spawn with crossbow though (thats like, my personal fucking downfall of hldm)
but to re-ittereate, everyone was raving about the psilos_killredux in the servers earlier.. you should definately consider adding it to the roster.. they even tryed to put up an amx vote but it got denied because map name was invalid..

whats the deal anyways? not a fan of killbox's?

No we werent. I haven't even played it. Oh I was talking about canyon redux by darkphoenix_68. Soup how do I pay you? I hooked up my paypall account to my bank account...

I honestly just dislike the map. I think it's a mess and not very fun. Sorry.
Why did you delete it from the vault anyway?
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-06 20:32:08 UTC Post #277439
cause the uhm.. download link was to a beta version of it, that had an awkward entity error in it... its fixed now (unless you run in software mode)

I dunno.. I'm lazy to post it.

Yea post it in the vault and if people like it and it gets good ratings it would probably hit the server.

Omg I just almost had a seisure I had such a good idea. I love rain in my maps but it is terrible for memory and fps. Ill make a rain sprite!

Zeeba, did you just recently find a sprite compiler or something?

Yeah a rain sprite would be nice I guess. Though it needs to be locked on it's Z-axis and really big so you can use less of them in the map to cover more area and be less expensive. Something like the rain from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I know a way to make a rain splash on the ground sprite too, just fix it to the orientation in hammer via Sprite Fixer and face it up.

...oh now look what you did! You made me idea all over the place! geez.

Indeed, don't forget to make it a laser or beam instead of a simple sprite.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-06 22:54:52 UTC Post #277450
Yea already thought about that, well I just remembered the free sprite making software and remembered that I had a snow sprite. Np lol sry id give more but im inbetween jobs right now.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-06 22:59:51 UTC Post #277451
i HAD rain sprites, i'd have to dig through my email to find them.. better off just making one real fast..

totally just ran huntey through all the secretes in bikinibottom.. gawd that map is rediculous
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-07 07:22:13 UTC Post #277469
Yea, it has sandy's house dome, Spongebob's house, squidward's house, the chum bucket, the kk, the flying dutchmans ship, the island, the jelly fish fields in one map it is rediculous lol.

Locking the Z-axis makes that a bit redundant. The idea is to make it as lightweight as possible. I would know a bit, I've managed to make some convincing snow for 6D using a large 256x256 sprite with dozens of little dots on it. Overall there were maybe 20 sprites on the screen, but it felt like it was a lot more.

EDIT: Got an example map for the equipping thing.

Methinks Paypal is out of my capabilities at this age.

Just out of curiosity, what are the admin privileges?

EDIT: Wait, have I already asked that before?
EDIT: I guess not.

Nothing terribly spectacular, just things to keep the server in check with. Map changing, kicking/banning, slapping, cvar controls, etc. "Standard" AMX stuff.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-08 21:56:29 UTC Post #277562
you should ban me.. :D

HEY! have you considered getting glow/trails mod?

that would be fun

i like them.. really useful for dark maps (and seeing how twhl server doesnt allow flashlight, there are several)

plus trails is just totally cool to long jump everywhere with
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-08 22:08:27 UTC Post #277567
I suggest mp_flashlight be set to 1 permanently.

When the server is playing Apocta I am unable to join the server. It freezes after it says verifying recources...
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-14 02:22:32 UTC Post #277902
Same thing happened to me..

It has a faulty res... It thinks were downloading all of the file, but its only partial file of whatever is causing it..

I just downloaded off the site link at twhl and i was able to join fine without locking up..

it's only when they download from the server is it locking up for me.

conclusion = res file.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-14 02:30:03 UTC Post #277903
Ill join in a bit if when maps changed.

I have three maps that REALLY should be added to the server.

Comboman by mamus

Canyon_Redux by darkphoenix_68

andNecropolis Mausoleumalso by darkphoenix68
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-17 19:16:16 UTC Post #278059
One week left. I'm asking a total of $20 the rest of the community right now.

Added the maps listed above.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-17 19:51:38 UTC Post #278060
I'll see if I can transfer 10 dollars tomorrow (it should work, I can't use my credit card to buy stuff etc. online but I'll see if I can borrow my mom's). So only $10 more is needed.

I may be able to get to a bank in a few days. If I can put money in my PayPal account I will donate, but if there's only a week left then there's no guarantee that I can do it in time.

Alright this server needs a weekly gaming time, im sick of waiting an hour for anyone to join and than no one does. We used to do it on sundays right? I could work that around church..

So we've reached a goal.
Posted 14 years ago2010-01-24 15:31:19 UTC Post #278362
Well I've fucked up.

I never sent in the subscription change form, and the account was charged for another 6 months as is before I woke up today.
There is no way to reduce the time I paid for with this server now -- I can't change it to be 2 months with a ping accelerator.
I have to pay for any changes I make now for the entire 6 months, and the cost of 6 months of a ping accelerator will cost me another 170 USD. That's a pretty penny that I'm just not willing to pay right now.

I can change it to 10 players right now with a much smaller charge, and I will. There will be no ping accelerator, and bad pings are going to stay just as they were.
Anyone who wants a refund for their donation can have one. Sorry.

Potatis was nice enough to make a small plugin to predict when a teamplay map will come up and enable teamplay before the map change.

So now teamplay is automated unless the map is manually changed by an admin.
A note: you manually change to a teamplay map, you will still have to set mp_teamplay before you switch.
Posted 14 years ago2010-02-18 21:08:41 UTC Post #279068
Also, if you (admin) change from a teamplay map to a deathmatch map, you will want to set mp_teamplay to 0 before you switch. Just as before.
Oskar Potatis Oskar Potatis🦔
Posted 14 years ago2010-02-18 21:16:25 UTC Post #279071
Nah, mp_teamplay is already set to 0 per map change so admins don't have to disable it after playing a teamplay map.

They didn't really have to before. It's just that mp_teamplay was set on the teamplay map before now, so it would only take effect on the following map.

The reason why i don't play much on the server anymore is simply because of the high ping im getting, so i was thinking about starting a second HLDM server so that players with high pings have a choice. If players from EU have a high ping on Soup Miner's server, they probably get a better ping on the EU server.

The server will be identical to Soup's server. Same maps, same settings.

What do you think? Should we start an European server for us Europeans?

Posted 14 years ago2010-02-23 14:25:01 UTC Post #279199
That doesn't sound like the best idea because it would probably split the few players there even are. Is there some other way to lower your ping in the server? Ie. something soup could do. Maybe hosting wise. I haven't been playing much in the server because im trying to get my deathmatch map "stockhouse" done for it and i've been working full time and have school. When I did play I think friday morning or maybe saturday it was a lot of fun and a lot of people were in the server. We played tp_beerfort and a few dm maps. My rats room map was really fun too.
Posted 14 years ago2010-02-23 14:32:37 UTC Post #279200
Having a ping around 180 is no fun. :/

If there's anything Soup Miner can do, do it!

Posted 14 years ago2010-02-23 14:58:45 UTC Post #279201
I think it's still fun with 180 ping. You just have to aim one or two decimetres in front of your target if it's moving. I get good scores, so it works.

My ping hangs around there, but I still have a ton of fun playing HLDM (which, in the end, is the point).

No problems on my end.

No error logs on the server either.

Joebama's computer_laboratory makes everyone's game crash because coil2.wad and flickermonitor.wad aren't on the server. You can download those wad files here:
