quake.trinicom.com CTF back up! put on list

[gandalfnet]

Hi all!

I had this server up from 1997 to 2007, I took it down to retire the hard ware and the fact no one was playing it.

I came accross my old files and started looking around and found quakeone.com
So I decided to put it back up at my colo!

quake.trinicom.com

it is running This is CRCTFN 5.2 with 3.3.12 added and using the off hand hook!

the old Clan Devo site is still around @ Shockwave

Will try to get up Runes back up (same as duracell.insync.net) later

cheers!

I had modified a 3.3.1.2 version for HDZ (no one really played on it). As I found the 3312 hook was actually broken. It was supposed to SWING the player like Indiana Jones, if the distance of contact was less than 100 and you were close to a stand still. The Swing bit never got reset, so it might only have worked once, per player life.

	if (self.owner.hook2 & HOOK_SWING)
	{
		if (xn < 240)      
		{
			acc = 2.5*xn; 
		}
		else               
		{ 
			acc = 600;
		}
	} 
	else 
	{
		if (xn < 100)      
		{ 
			acc = 6*xn; 
		}
		else
		{ 
			acc = 600; vo = '0 0 0'; 
		}
		
		if (xn < 100 && vp*x <= 0) 
			self.owner.hook2 = self.owner.hook2 | HOOK_SWING;
	}

and in hook vanish:

void () HookVanish =
{
	self.owner.hook2 = (self.owner.hook2 - (self.owner.hook2 & (HOOK_OUT | HOOK_SWING)));	
	do
	{
		if ((self.classname == "hook_chain_link") || (self.classname == "hook_entity"))
		{
			remove (self);
		}
		self = self.hookentity;
	} while (self);
};

But doing this may correct a problem that was in there from the begining, meaning alot of players might not be used to swinging at short distances and pulled at a far.

Hi all!

Hey Gandalf.

Yeah, I remember back in 2005 Trinicom went down for a few months and that more or less killed CTF for a while.

I never liked the hook @ Trinicom, but it sure was a great place to play CTF and more or less had something going on most hours of the day until 2005.

I remember the server did come up again ... I don't know what was wrong (DNS?) ... sometime in 2006 but by then I think the regulars had found other things to do.

[gandalfnet]

there where alot if issues with folks cheating and trying to bring it down, I was not playing much and some one finally got in touch with me that it was down and about the other issues and I upgraded the Modz to the latest and kepted the hook.

the CTFers love the hook, kept the axe hook but took off damage because we all hated it.

I seem to remember some action in 2006 but it finally completely died off like a lot of the Q1 servers.

[gandalfnet]

OK NOOOOOWWWW!

it is up for good!

[Authentic]

haha i got banned from trini cuz i told gandalf to fuck off.

[monoz]

cant connect

[gandalfnet]

Had to restart winded for some reason.

is there a service I can run it under in windows?

[gandalfnet]

also is there anything special I need to do to get the server to show up on the list right, it is not showing any players and no map

[R00k]

I forgot that trinicom was crctf 2.8 (Paul Baker's)+ 3.3.1.2, which actually made it unique, as it had map voting, observer cam and open source!

[gandalfnet]

yeah I combined them to get it right so that you would get the better admin stuff with the hook we liked, also I took off damage with Axe hook us CTFers hated that.
