Casual Game, take 2

[Immortal-D]

Ok, for real this time. The server was in need of an update/restart/kick in the nuts. This was finally taken care of, and I have personally double checked everything this time. All day Saturday, we've got a whole bunch of fun customs. Even if you're only gonna play for a little bit, stop in and say hi to your fellow TF2M peeps. Talk about the good&bad of each map, Valve's techniques, how to start our podcast, etc. Here is the current map list, though I may add a few more.

dom_canalzone
ctf_aerospace_a10
cp_horus_b3
cp_redstone_b2

I will most definitely try to make an appearance!

If we are going to be having these "casual" gamedays fit in with our testing gameday rotation, then I propose we do a casual gameday 1 week, then the next week have a testing one so we don't have 1 testing gameday per month. Reasonable?

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

I second CTF's motion. Also, sorry for not being there on Saturday, I forgot/was packing for school. Also, its cool that this one is on the front page.

[Arhurt]

Cool, I'll be there this weekend \o/

can we update aerospace to b1?

[Arhurt]

I'll be dropping on and off tomorrow, but I would definatelly like to play aerospace at some point.

Any chance of uploading the latest version on the server?

[DJive]

what time is this set at?

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

9 am EST I believe. I just woke up (its almost 8 PST here) and its already on castle4

[DJive]

nah i think it just left off on that one, tf2mappers channel says:

==========================
Casual Game, Take II
Today @ 03:00pm

Casual Game, Take II
Today @ 12:00pm

Casual Game, Take II
Today @ 06:00pm
==========================

3 different "start" times really confuses me though..

Anyone know?

[Arhurt]

Well I'll go and have lunch now and come back in 30 min, then we can start playing, how does that sound?

Edit: And can we update to ctf_aerospace_b1? I just played a game on Colts and it was awesome!

Updating now.

[Immortal-D]

Sorry about the confusion. I figured that adding start times throughout the day would help to clarify this being an all-day event, so peeps don't have to get up at 8am, lol. And can drop in whenever.

[Vander]

Sorry I missed, had a family function.

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

I had fun. Was there for about the first 3 hours.

[MrAlBobo]

it only lasted for about three hours though :P

but yeah...we always seem to have an issue with redirects and that kills teh server

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

Yeah. I was able to download tributary from the server, but not horus or boulder (it actually started getting boulder, then quit).

[ChronoTriggerFan]

Heh, I think thats because I uploaded to the redirect and the server. Someone got a bit lazy when uploading maps...

[Dox]

the fact there were 4 times for the even didnt help much, but the lack of server-download-able maps killed it

[DJive]

anyone know the maps that caused this so i can look into it?

[Dox]

Horus lacked download (it looked like it was downloading, but when it looked like the download was done it kicked you for not having the map) and though I personally already had boulder I think I heard someone say it was doing it too.

[DJive]

Horus lacked download .


Just went through, cp_horus is a corrupted packing.

[Immortal-D]

Just went through, cp_horus is a corrupted packing.

Well crap :( Is there any way to check that before I upload?

[MrAlBobo]

could always join the server after uploading and see if the maps download...but thats a bit impractical with all the maps at the top of the thread...

I know winrar has the ability to check the integrity of the files, not sure about 7zip though...

Or...for the next time we do this you could have various donaters volunteer to upload the bsp and the redirect for 1 or 2 maps through the game server map upload, and have them ensure those 1 or 2 maps are working, could help to maintain a smoother gameday...
