...your time confuses me...
the 11 has to mean November, the 08 has to be the year, but the 05 can not be the day...as its the 9th today

the calender says 15th...so you might want to change the thread title to that

EDIT: I noticed someone submitted an arena map...so id like to confirm that the server's errors with arena maps has been fixed

The map IS for playtesting.

This time with fixed spawns, added pathways, etc etc. A lot of improvement since the earlier version.

Test plz

[Dox]

I certainly hope so. :(

there is a workaround, need to get with immortal to figure out what it is though but ill know by gameday.

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

May I just suggest that that we take care of all arena maps at once, probably either at the beginning or the ending, just to make sure it doesn't throw a server restart in the middle of the event?

[MrAlBobo]

christ...do not rely on a workaround, just fix it <_<
im 90% sure its a problem with the arena_config.cfg
someone should take a look at it, here is what mine looks like as an example

maxplayers 24
hostname "Tf2 Custom Gamers - 100% Custom Maps"
mp_timelimit 30
mapcyclefile "mapcycle.txt"
mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg"

[Dbri]

I'd like to make it to one of these.

arena map are at the end, but I think you all are over reacting, since I can use the workaround by pressing a button, and usually I join the server as one of the first 3 people, so it wont be a big deal.

I've not got the latest version of halfacre ready yet but if I wait much longer my slot will be way past midnight :( I didn't want to have to reserve a slot but I'm going to have to.

I will update this post and post a new one when I have the download link, I'll probably have it in one to two days

[Zipok]

Change! Change my map to be _a3. Due to recent playtests I found out some seriously important gameplay tweaks that I added immediately. _a2 is yesterday. ;P

every time an arena map was tried on the server that i witnessed multiple workarounds were tried each time, nothing worked and it killed the server...i mean honestly...how difficult is it to take a look at the arena config cfg and confirm there is nothing weird happening there

I apologize for a bug that the blu forward spawn door wasn't working, I forgot to enable the triggers after capturing C. I've just uploaded a fixed version so if you already downloaded the map please do again.

AAAAAAAAANnnnnnndd, we are closed for business, Ill get the event updated, the maps uploaded, and see you all (and more!) on Saturday!

Bob, wrote your name with the \ on purpose because the | would ruin my table.... and we cannot have that...

ack, I thought you would have updated your previous post's link...
I just deleted the map, and redownloaded it from your old post so I just uploaded the damaged one to the server.

[S3BB0_L1C1OUS]

How about adding the server address to the overview as well?

sorry for that. If you redownloaded it everything should be fine because _a2 and _a2fixed are the same maps now, both fixed.

[Youme]

Due to unavoidably being ill and spending the entire day in bed feeling sorry for myself I missed the entire event :(

Please tell me there were demos recorded.

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

There might have been. Dox changed SourceTV to auto, but that was for the last 3-4 maps. Safe bet is that you weren't covered.

[Dox]

and I have no clue how to operate source tv, I dont even know if it got the videos recorded after I turned it on. Anyone feel like enlightening me on where the videos would be?

And sorry Youme, I turned it on well after your map, Next gameday ill try to get demos for all if I can figure it all out.

[MrAlBobo]

if you haven't already looked...
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_TV#Recording_Games
seems relatively simple...though it depends on just how far your permissions go...
dem files are saved at the game root...so for tf2 it would be saved in the tf directory and with an auto record it should be saved with the name of the maps recorded
