Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / January 2007AGHL Bash - Planning Stage
Ello, I was talking back in #AGHL today (just to be different) and mentioned we should have a CS:S bash. Early stages, register your interest and post if you know if anyone has a server for an evening. Here is the default map cycle followed by my suggested map cycle. de_dust de_aztec de_cbble de_chateau de_dust2 de_piranesi cs_italy cs_havana cs_office de_train cs_compound test_speakers test_hardware de_prodigy de_tides de_port de_inferno cs_assault de_nuke cs_militia de_dust de_aztec de_dust2 cs_italy de_train de_prodigy de_port cs_assault de_nuke cs_militia > Ello, > > I was talking back in #AGHL today (just to be different) and mentioned > we should have a CS:S bash.

I'll play any map and be any side, but being slightly machoistic (i can speel me), I dont mind being slaughtered every round if needs be ^_^ <snip> > Looks ok, but am not a fan of the hugely biased maps, ie, assault, italy and > militia.... unless the teams are balanced well, people can easily get pissed > off playing these imo. Well these maps don't often get as much attention on public servers and when they do they're often played as I'm sure the designer of the map intended. As much fun as it is rushing the roof it's as much or more fun locking down the warehouse or even better still, getting in and removing the threat. I guess that's why I'd like to see these included. We'll see what the others say and draw our conclusions over an average, ay? > I'll play any map and be any side, but being slightly machoistic (i can > speel me), I dont mind being slaughtered every round if needs be ^_^ That's why you were invited :) > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > fun locking down the warehouse or even better still, getting in and > removing the threat. I guess that's why I'd like to see these included. Dont get me wrong, I dont think all maps should be balanced, but for a fun night, I just assumed most people would prefer balanced maps. > We'll see what the others say and draw our conclusions over an average, > ay? Sounds fine, as said, I'll play anything :p > Dont get me wrong, I dont think all maps should be balanced, but for a fun > night, I just assumed most people would prefer balanced maps. Assuming someone's got rcon (or Admin mod), then i guess the mapcycle doesn't have to be set-in-stone. Perhaps it'd be an idea to have a short-ish game time (say, 20 mins) - that way noone will get too fed up if a map comes around that they hate :) Anyway, depending what date/time the bash is going to be, I'll probably not be on a connection which doesn't lag me out every 30 seconds.

In which case I'll try to start it as late as possible for us europeans but early enough so we're not playing too late into GMT morning and you 'orrible Americans can make it too.

Since Jethro has decided to be the cavarly (nice horse by the way) all we need do now is set a date. Preferably a little in advance to get the chance to email some of the more absent aghl members. >> As I stated before the Phats have a CS:S server running (dedicated >> server on home cable network 16Mb\1Mb connection) but Stri has been a [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > we need do now is set a date.

It's a novel idea I've used a few times has been adapted by a few to make "zombie horde" type senarios. For example. 1 player takes on 20-40 bots which have only knives. That's how I play it. But you may be able to set it so AGHL is players and bots have knives. Of course, give them names like Sharon :) Just an idea ;) >> I sent Stri a gmail with server IP and password. >> For those looking to test it: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Just an idea ;) Ahhh yes we already have a config for that all setup. We usually do 25 bots but it depends on how many humans are on the server. I think server max is 32. Not sure if that can be bumped higher. Changing Bot names is actually a lot of work because you have to modify the Bot stats file. We looked and gave up. We can do 25 T bots or 25 CT bots. We just call out which side everyone goes on and throw in the bots. Last LAN we did that in cs_italy and built a wall of weapons, 2 layers high, back to back in the alley.

Cool, ok, we'll see how the turnout is. If the turnout is bad then all is not lost, we can try with the bots. I think it will be good fun even without the bot names which by the way, aren't that important I just thought they might be a good addition. > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > without the bot names which by the way, aren't that important I just > thought they might be a good addition.

Server owner has 2 older boys schooled in the ways of AGHL bash rules that we can add. So far we can get at least 4 Phat's there round out the numbers.

What > could go wrong. :-) Thanks for the offer but in light of my lack of server admin practice I think it would be wise for me to leave it to an experienced hand. I'll start a new thread to decide the mapcyle & settings. From that you can setup the server config. If that's ok with you? >>>>> <snip> >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > I'll start a new thread to decide the mapcyle & settings. From that you > can setup the server config. If that's ok with you? Sure no prob. I'll just send it to the real server admin and make him do all the work...

As it's on a home network there is a (small) chance that the IP can change. We of course found a way around that. http://phats.greatboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=283 Thks J SignatureJethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Pinger Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com |
