Teams Deathmatch Testing @ 10 PM

[Baker]

The stats tracking server teams.quakeone.com hosted by Wicked Lord needs some live testing today around 10 PM for anyone interested. There is no ban file, everyone is welcome including Kimp. We've had enough dramas, I think a number of people feel it is time to reset to a clean slate. Server runs a rotation of 4 id deathmatch maps + 8 custom maps.

Later today, ProQuake client 4.93 (Windows) should be released that includes a live server browser and the ability to use a stats tracking ID. The stats tracking ID is backwards compatible to ProQuake 3.50 and Qrack, but is easier in ProQuake 4.93.

Note: It uses the pq_password capability in ProQuake 3.50, which DirectQ does not appear to support, but pq_password is not hard to add. More on the server as things unfold ...

Probably can't make 10pm est but 10pm pst is good.

Will have to get MH to add that stat password thing

Probably can't make 10pm est but 10pm pst is good.

I'll try to be around then. And maybe you can comment on tuning the map rotation. As I understand it, you use ProQuake 3.50 so I'll list the maps that run in the rotation and a download link (since PQ 3.50 doesn't have download).

So,imo the map choices needs tweaking. bottom of the pile so far is DM5, ewww.

make classic dm option, also add sofdm3.bsp

also add sofdm3.bsp

That's a good idea for a map with a large number of players, I'll add that in once I code level select by number of players. Since that's rather huge, I'll make it in the 10+ players.

make classic dm option

Do you mean free for all, as opposed to teams? Or weapon stay? I've been thinking about possibly making the annoying 3 player scenario play as FFA with teams kicking in automatically with 4 players present.

/Annoying 3 player scenario is always a pain to deal with.
