Will password the server tomorrow night with f13scrim again so only people In The Know can play. Jot your name down here so we know who to expect. Cap at 24.

Oh, this will be from 5pm PST/8pm EST.

Sure does.  We could make it a weekly thing since TF2 is quickly approaching it's Best-If-Played-By date and we'll need a weekly time to make sure it doesn't get left out in the cold.

Not even. I am NOWHERE near getting bored with this. NOT EVEN CLOSE. We will ahve to have a ut2k7 and tf2 day just to seperate them though.

Post by: Samwise on October 29, 2007, 05:06:22 PM
I can't envision TF2 ever getting completely left out in the cold as long as there are good servers to play on.

Of course, now that the server mod community has its hooks in the thing I predict the number of good servers will drop off dramatically.   :angryfist:


Title: Re: 10/30/07 - Unstationary Server Freeplay
Post by: Prospero on October 29, 2007, 05:10:45 PM
TF2 will probably have a pretty long life. Hell, we're supposed to get escort maps again sometime in the near future as well. They are in the process of figuring out how to make the game fun even when the VIP doesn't have a clue. I <3 umbrella kills.

In, woot.

I'll have to try to play a bit to get my sniping warmed up.

Also, can we NOT start with DB this time? That was just embarrassing.


EDIT: Also, would be cool to possibly get a spec on to record. Possibly edit. Play-by-play commentary could possibly be funny.

Post by: Samwise on October 29, 2007, 06:44:14 PM
Do we have anyone lined up to spectate and record a demo?  I'm going to have the recorder running, but a spectator will probably be privy to more of the exciting firefights than any one player will.

Info on demo recording here. (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Demo_Recording_Tools)  I haven't used any of these tools yet (the last demo I recorded was in Natural Selection), but they look spiffy.

I predict the number of good servers will drop off dramatically.   :angryfist:

Good thing you have f13.

You say that now, but I hear talk about class capping and I worry.   :|

If MrHat is on his personal box, he should be up to par with Freshfruit. Hat and Freshfruit on the same team is just unfair. It's like having Jigglypuff and myself as scouts - which is what's going to happen on FRIDAY (OR SATURDAY  :oh_i_see:). So if you don't get in tomorrow, no worries.

I think, maybe, we should just permanently make Tues/Saturday the locked f13 server nights. ^_^ Will make poll now. I'll leave it running for a month.

Source TV should be up by 5pm (hopefully), you can connect to it by going to ts.f13.net:27020.

According to the writeup it should record everything that happens automatically.

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_TV#Recording_Games

That is a terrible wiki page. What does it record as? Google yields not so great results. And is there a way to specify resolution or is it fixed?


Title: Re: 10/30/07 - Unstationary Server Freeplay
Post by: Samwise on October 30, 2007, 10:22:07 AM
It records as a demo file.  (See the helpful link I posted earlier on.) 

Demo files are awesome because you can play them back (and convert them into real movie files) at any resolution, with any graphical settings, and from any viewpoint.  (The demo file records the state of the game itself, not the video stream.)

See if you guys can play the demo, I'm getting the following error:

Quote
DataTable warning: SetupClientSendTableHierarchy: missing SendTable 'DT_EffectData' (referenced by 'DT_TEEffectDispatch').
Host_EndGame: CL_ParseClassInfo_EndClasses: CreateDecoders failed.

Load up TF2 and type 'demoui' into the console, then just browse to the demo file to play it.

Get the GravelPit demo here (http://5oh.net/auto-20071030-1658-cp_gravelpit.dem)

EDIT: I got it to work by first playing a demo I recorded myself and then loading up the GravelPit demo.  It even records voice!  Once you start playing it you have to close the demoui and act like you're a spectator, it's fully interactive.

If anyone cares I have the rest of them, just say if you want them up.

Yeah I have to start another demo first as well. The Mani plugin may be screwing things up.

The 'Tuesday Nights' we password the server and get to play by ourselves.

Yeah that didn't happen, I forgot. So did Schild though, so you can blame him too.
