TacticalGamer Server #1

[Tzefanya]

I just loaded up my brand new mutator on it. It now features the following:

1.5x Map Time
2.0x Reinforcement Time
Blackout for Waiting/Dead Players
Friendly Tags (without focus, 25m)
Increased Friendly Tags When Focused (35m)

The friendly tag mutator will be release to the public by Friday (most likely). You can specify if you want *any* friendly tags, if you wan't friendly tags without focus, and the ranges for each type (non-focussed and focussed).

I'll stop by and try it out later

 

[Tzefanya]

Awesome. We should have players on once everyone starts getting off of work. I'll be with the lady so I won't be able to partake in the activities. I'll be looking for feedback.

 

[Jamer]

Sounds great, I'll check it out tonight. Just one question, is there a reason why some servers use the blackout. I've never known the reason gror this option, just curious.
Good Gaming ! ! !

 

[American_Psycho]

Exactly what I have been looking for, thanks.

 

[Tzefanya]

Not sure if the devs care, but I was using the including FadeToBlack(0.0) (instant fade) in the ROHud class but for some reason on certain clients it wasn't making their screen black, only darkening it. (see: post)

I created my own function to simply black out the screen and it works fine.

I tried all different gamma/brightness levels (including monitor settings) to no avail; I couldn't get FadeToBlack(0.0) to go completely to black on some clients.

The mutator 'RO Hud Package' is now available for download:

Wow good stuff. Just out of curiosity, I am assuming the friendly tags are a way to mark friendlies from enemies. Is that correct? plz fogive the newby question.

 

[Zetsumei]

you now can see friendlies easier so you know who is who . Without having to put your sights on all friendlies.

We hated the fact that sometimes you wouldn't know who was standing next to you. It became a hassle to ask people who they were when in real life you would obviously know by their face. What the mutator does is show friendly tags for anyone in front of you who is within 25m and not hidden behind anything.

Will be reporting in shortly

I played there for a round or two last night and really enjoyed your server. I liked the black screen and really liked the easier to see tags. You're on the top of my favorites list now. Keep up the good work.

I know I'm quoting myself and it just might be the beer,(as im off now for the weekend) but it seems like a dumb question now.

 

[Tzefanya]

Because VOIP still works when your dead and it's easier to see who killed you and either relay that information or hunt them down.

Thanks, our server #1, was down tonight for our #2 server tank-only night. It'll be back up shortly!

 

[Heinz]

looking forward to enjoying all your hard work Tzef.

 

[Felix Ostheim]

I think I'll try this on our server 2. SS-PANZER-DIVISION das-reich.org (Chicago) if you dont mind

Edit: How do you run this on a server where you don't have physical access to add the commandline?

 

[Tzefanya]

I've disabled the Blackout mutator due to requests. I'm also installing the team-kill mutator which allows you to forgive team-kills by typing 'np' into the chat. If any clan doesn't have a server and is looking for one to 'call their own', TacticalGamer listens to feedback and would love to fill our server every day of the week. Wednesday's are dedicated RO nights, and Thursday's are dedicated Tank-only nights. Stop by our community, chat it up, and provide input and feedback on our server, the server YOU want to play on. Thanks.

Edit: Actually, I'm not installing the tk-mutator until more testing can be completed.
