Tiberian Sun is free. We could form teams in the mumble channels and go to town with legless cyborgs.

I dunno, but I think we should switch things up. We've played a lot of oldschool FPS, so maybe an RTS next week.

Keep in mind when Q3A came out there was much qq'ing about the faster rocket velocity vs Quake 2 and how that was going to ruin everything. I don't really know what changes QL made vs Q3A but it always feels a bit weird to me so idgaf.

The weapon damage things almost don't matter compared to the things on the list that look likecruel jokes. What are people supposed to 'keep in mind'. Raises shotgun and points it at you suspiciously.

If their only goal was to have us talk about Quake before a steam release, they have succeeded.

Nah nah. I don't mind at all. I was just continuing the discussion. It's a good marketing ploy. Change something beloved into call of duty.

Someone please post the picture of the lyrics to the one song that references george costanza's hosed up dick, where on the side it talks about the artist's ironical style, because I want to look at that picture again.

Oldschool RTS realtalk: OpenRA. It is recreation of Red Aler, Tiberian Dawn and Dune 2000, with a few changes to gameplay unfortunately. Multiplayer works cross-platform, client are available for Windows, OS X and Linux.

The new QL update appears to have turned a fun FPS into an abandoned wasteland where "Play Now" drops me into matches in Australia where I get 400 ping and the server browser has like six populated servers every one of which is running mods

Oh well it's early in the morning might be the problem. The most active time I've found is around 4-8pm. 6-8 is the only time I've seen a CTF server with folks in it.

Been playing Dune 2 on my phone. Might as well play Dune 2000 for free. Added to OP. My tiberian sun link includes much more true to form tiberian dawn and red alert.

Someone update me on who has what server now and what the ip is so I can add that to the OP, too.

Yeah, just checked that Tiberian Sun, vanilla RA/2 looks more appealing to me than OpenRA changes, given that CnCNet provides infrastructure.

I forget in CPMA is it once you lose the full 100 from MH or once you drop below 100 that it starts the respawn timer over.

:hfive: You da man, I started the files copying and then I woke up and it was 3am and I was slumped in my chair. I am glad this has not prevented quake.


E: The mod thing is just a flag, I don't know how you're starting the server, but if it's a shell script or just command line you add +set fs_game cpma in with the other arguments, and if it's just an .exe on windows you create a short cut of q3 for starting with CPMA, right-click and add +set fs_game cpma to the end of the target.

E2: Apparently for the windows shortcut it goes outside the quotations in the target. Be more consistent windows jeeze.

This thing uses so few resources that I'll probably do a gently caress off FFA server that has voting enabled and another CPMA in tourney mode for one-on-one. It doesn't make a huge difference but I'm doing this all on a Linux VPS instance, which has been working really well actually.

You and Surc are the best.

also zdr is your q3 server currently up? if so, whats the port it uses

Aug 17, 2004

Ok my Q3 server says it's starting properly but I'm unable to connect from my local machine. If somebody could check for me and let me know if they're able to connect or not I would appreciate it.

162.208.48.226:27960

E: I assume ZDR's server uses 27960, or somehwere around there since that's Q3's default.

E2: Server is now up, running CTF at the moment.
