TF2 Dedicated Server

[schild]

Just ordered a smaller server for TF2. Well, faster than this one because of upgrades. Anyway, we'll probably run UT2k7 and such on it as well.

Anyway. Bat Country, Teamspeak, etc will get moved over there.

Any suggestions?

Suggestions on what?

Edit: Your avatar looks less menacing w/out his bat.

[Falwell]

Recommendations for the server name?

Bat Country Presents: The Live Gothic Shaved Ewok Sex Show.

Wait, lets keep it classy..

As long as the tagline is "Racism Required", I'm happy.

[MrHat]

ETA?  Also, I'm assuming it's possible to have server side code that enables members of the community to join and boot someone who isn't F13.net off?

As for a name, how about something that will have the server always full?

[bhodi]

People don't shop for servers based on names, they do it based on ping and current players!

And then once they've narrowed it down they base it on name!

Server is coming along nicely, should be ready in a couple hours.

Schnell, schnell!

[Ookii]

Oh and MORE NAMES.

Right now it's like 'F13.net's TF2 Bats ahoy!' or something of its ilk.

Don't make me name it!

MeatSpace Alpha Test

[Grand Design]

I'm partial to MeatSpace.

But something like Sausage Festival might work for the originally stated purpose.

[Samwise]

Srsly, I like "Bat Country".  Nice and short.  Won't ever get cut off in the server browser.

But if you feel the need to be more creative than that, my vote is with 'The Live Gothic Shaved Ewok Sex Revue [Racism Required]".

[Prospero]

If the server name screams "I'm loaded with douches" there is no ping awesome enough to drag me in.

You actually read the server name?  How quaint.

ETA:  Oh, and I vote for "All Aboard the Man Train" for server name.

I agree. I completely avoid servers with names like "le3Tz0rs sErver of t0t4l h4x". Or DEATH KILL HOUSE KILL GUILD DIE KILL.

[Fabricated]

"F13.net - Bat Country TF2" sounds good to me. "LOLSHICLDS HOUSRE OF PWNAGE" and the like, eh.

[Grublet]

This whole Bat Country Hunter S. Thompson shit is played out.

Meatplace is my vote.

We've been doing the Bat Country thing long enough that it passed Played Out and doesn't even register as something that can be played out anymore.

Getting ready for work right now, but this will be my weekend project   

[Miasma]

That was a hell of a lot of fun, thanks for the server.

[Moaner]

Yea that was great last night.  I played until I was seeing double because I was so tired.  Thanks for hosting :)

[MrHat]

Only thing that will kick more ass than this is admin privies and autojoin scripts.

[Ookii]

What is an autojoin script?  You mean like an autoexec.cfg?

Right now there are no admin plugins for TF2 no will there be until a month or so after Orange Box is released.  Apparently Valve updated the SDK for plugins so no current ones work with TF2, and they are not planning on releasing the SDK until sometime after the release so they can test it out or whatnot. I've also read that people have been seeing stuff in Orange Box that may hint that Valve has a robust admin tool already in Orange Box just waiting to be activated.

I'm more than happy to give f13ers admin privileges, we're all mature enough not to go banning random people for no reason from what I've seen.

Reserve slots plzkthx.

[Big Gulp]

Let it be known that the sorry display I put on tonight was not me.  I let my friend Roger play for a bit, and he is essentially incompetent when it comes to gaming in general.

That is all.   :-D

[Trippy]

You can come up with a better excuse than that.

[Big Gulp]

You can come up with a better excuse than that.

I could, and that's why you should believe this one.

Seriously, Al and I are playing Guitar Hero, and Roger's playing a medic.  He's running around with the medic's syringe gun and asks me, "How do I heal?"  I tell him, "it's the number 2 key".  Keep in mind that this is someone who's played Half-Life, so I think he should be good to go.  Nope.  He gets out the medic's healing gadget and still can't get it right, so he goes back to the syringe gun and tries to play like he's a goddamned soldier or something.

Just plain sad.

ETA:  I nearly lost my shit when he healed an enemy spy and MrHat sent a tell, "Gulp, heal our guys, and not the enemy."

[Strazos]

You should keep him around,Gulp.

He brings the lulz.

I broke down last night and picked up some orange box goodness so I could check out the TF2.  Can't seem to locate the f13 server.  Pity there isn't, so far as I can tell, a way to *search* for specific servers...

[Azazel]

sort by name. look for "f"

Are you in the f13 community?  More often than not, we're playing on the server

14 ping ftw.
