FF On Updates

[PDX_Capy]

Server Updates!

As of tonight the FF ON and FF OFF servers has been reconfigured.

Please let me know if any of this is not working as advertised.

FF ON now has:

TK Protection. Once the final balance is struck I will publish the TK limits (Right now I think its at 4TKs in a row, plus an over all limit)

RTV (It should have 6 maps selected at random plus extend map) Edit: As of 14:00 this was still having issues. As the the server runs through the maps, they are removed from the RTV list until there is only one on the RTV list + any nominated maps

This is from http://www.edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67590

Server #1 FF OFF

* RTV is enabled, along with an option to extend the current map. Votes will occur automatically at the end of a map, or when 60% of the server says 'rtv' to force a vote.
* Death notices are now available to the general public as well as admins.
* Dead chat has been enabled to allow a more social environment between teammates. Teams cannot spectate enemy players, and this will help with "last man standing" situations.
* Sprays have been disabled.


Server #2 FF ON

* Friendly Fire is back by popular demand.
* A new TK punishment system is in place allowing you to freeze, slow, blind, slay, or forgive someone for TK'ing you. They will be auto-kicked after accumulating 4 unforgiven TK's.This changed. There is no longer any player interaction with the TK manager.
* The most popular maps should now always be available as options for RTV, and the custom map Trenches6 has been added as an RTV choice. This got stuck without a timer and would not end, even though all the points had been capped so GardenGroveVW removed it.
* The option to extend the current map should now be available in RTV.
* Death notices are now available to the general public as well as admins.
* Dead chat has been enabled to allow a more social environment between teammates. Teams cannot spectate enemy players, and this will help with "last man standing" situations.
* Sprays have been disabled.

Thanks,Dryft,GardenGroveVW and PDX_Capy for making this happen ^ ^

yay

Ugh. It was definitely late for me. I went to take my meds before bed and was so tired I accidentally took the wrong kind of insulin and overdosed =P Ended up in the ER, but I'm all good now.

I'm really happy with the changes we made last night, and while I'm really disappointed that we had to lockdown a full server to do it, in the long run it'll be worth it. The only time our servers aren't hopping is during the day when Garden and I are both at work, and that's a good thing, but it can make updates a hassle. Thanks for everyone's patience last night, though I don't think I've EVER gotten that many PM's on Vent and Steam =P

I'd also like to thank Capy for his time and input, it was really nice having someone elses eyes on what was going on, he caught a couple of things that would've taken me a couple more beats of the forehead against the wall.

Cheers,
- Dryft

As of right now, everything on both servers should be working. The only thing is that we changed the TK manager, and it no longer supports slap, slay, slow,etc

I just noticed that the spawn protection isn't working?

Which server? and are you sure its not working, or it just not notifeing you.

 

[N1ghtmare]

as of this post

for the ff off server

-spawn protection was working as it should (as best i could tell) with gray dudes and notification of when it stops.

-RTV only showed one map, i assumed at the end of the rotation thing. I consider that a bug still.

Yes, this is the most elusive of the bugs. We are still trying to track it down.

 

[PDX_Capy]
