Custom vCTF Server

We will occasionally be hosting a custom vCTF server, this topic is meant for discussion regarding that server.

The server will be running the maps:

SkyTown
AtlasCity
The Dig (Community Bonus Pack 3 Map)
Luracia
OffTheRails
Crater Mining Camp
Megastructure-SE
 

All Maps and Instructions regarding map installation can be found here

BTW
A lot of discussion regarding the server also takes place in this topic

What time Friday?

I might be available, my internet connection is solid, and my PS3 doesn't glitch hardly ever since I set it to not allow custom characters. For some reason custom characters really f's it up. I get a solid 3mbps down and 786 up.

 

Editing to avoid posting more - Got you loud and clear, no worries, take out my post too.

What up man. Glad to see you signed up and participating. 

Try to only post downloads in this forum (please contact me first and I'll give you our FTP and a quick and easy way to duplicate our post style). However, since your post IS quite relevant to the CTF Downloads, I made it a sticky.  So you did nothing wrong - I'm just saying for everyone to read that discussions shouldn't go down in this particular forum unless it's related to which files the user should download (which is sort of what you posted anyway). Just a harmless FYI for EVERYONE... Once you establish what you were looking for regarding the server - perhaps we (or you guys) can come up with a CTFShowcase (or whatever you'd prefer to call it) similar to the GOWShowcase. Check it out if you're not sure what I mean.

Cheers,

We (at least those involved

We (at least those involved with map choices for the server) have played damn near all (if not all) the CTF and vCTF maps released/cooked so far. This map list is essentially a vCTF showcase, but I and other would be more than willing to make CTF and vCTF map showcases for this site.

Lovely... (CTF Server)

Nice, I'm going to edit that post and take out my offers etc.

However, would you like to set up a meeting this evening around 9PM or even tomorrow night? We can get on PSN and I'll give you some info and tools to make it easier for you.  Then perhaps you can tell me who else may be interested in helping and if they're trustworthy enough (whatever that means) then we can give rights to a little team of CTF Moderators/Admins for this Forum.  Then you can also moderate so only Downloads go in here etc...

Looking forward to this! Maybe I'll get around to actually playing my old favorite gametype, CTF, cause to be honest I'm one of the only GOW members that can count the UT3 CTF Games I've played on 1 hand.  With the onset of you helping out - maybe I'll find some time to play and learn from you guys!

I don't mind so much the comments under a node/forum-thread but I just didn't want any other Full Posts under the Downloads Section besides this one.  It's more of a place for files.  Like I said though, this post was relevant enough.  Comment away my friend.

I sincerely appreciate that though! Hey, perhaps you'd like to get on the PSN Chat tonight too? I also gave you the Author/Contributor rights if I didn't already tell you (I forget) so let me know if you're interested and what you're availability looks like this week.

Duragesic -

I am actually experimenting tonight with a mapper (Odege) on world detail levels for PS3, it's pretty neat actually, he's doing different levels on the objects and I have to pick them out, triangles, boxes, etc, we are trying to figure out at what levels things become visible, including the skybox. That's 6-7, then Broken Disk is going to try to join my game while I run a map that won't work for his PS3 but works for mine (CTF-Biomium by jayoplus). That should be 7-730. Shorter if he can't join. Then my wife comes home and demands I spend time with her. Sheesh! You'd think she would be over that by now. Maybe it's better if I'm not there, seems like some heavy Clan business is going down! Thanks for the rights, I'll try not to abuse them. I understand about the posts, when a bunch of people post under my column at unreal station it really clutters shit up!  

 

EDIT- CRAP! Am I still posting in the map section? Sorry.

Busy schedule tonight huh?  You're right.  With my potential meeting with TailSnakes, Practice and all the "heavy" Clan Politics and announcements going down tonight it's probably not best.

I should have known that.  Ask Noot, I am the worst when it comes to scheduling too much for a short period of time.  Anyway, how's tomorrow? Or the rest of the week or weekend looking for you sir?

As for your rights, I have no worries about abuse with YOU.  You are our single top non-clan member contributor.... much respect for that. And for EDITs - as long as it's just a comment I don't mind.  I just don't want full on posts that are discussions in the Downloads forum.  Since there is only this one, we can talk as much as we want under this post... otherwise we should start a new one in General Chat or even Open Projects.  Perhaps I'll move it there so if you can't find it now you know.

Cheers....

Tailsnakes!

What CTF event? I am only aware of the {tk5} War thingy.... Is there something else going on?

 

Edit - OK, just saw your post, the "We Own Your Core" is Sat all day/night (PC) and this CTF is Friday night PS3, right ? I'll try to make it.
