Does the crucible server have a TS3, or Ventrillo voip channel?

Often not too many show up, and if we have a place to discuss the map people might stay longer especially if they have to wait for long downloads due to being on slower internet etc.


:) Not at this time. Not a bad idea, though. I'll mention it to the powers that be. :D

I wouldn't mind if you skip Bataan for the sunday event. I'm on nightshifts and can't join and I will have an update monday or tuesday. So it might be better testing that one later this week.

Very well. I can substitute another map for now. :)

:cool:

Yup. Worked out very well. Thanks to all those that are following these events.
I'll guarantee they're seldom boring. The maps are fresh and the players are experienced enough to keep you on your toes. More good maps on Tuesday's event. Thanks for joining. :D Honestly, if you only make one event per week, it will be well worth your time.

Ok, kids, here we go:

For Tuesday, Oct 22. The Crucible Custom Map OGG event. 6pm US EST.

RSTE-Wake_Island (This looks playable; we'll give it a go. no snarky remarks; just useful feedback in these forums)
RSTE-Kobura
RSTE-PhosphatePlant
TE-Streets of Stalingrad

Now... here's something new: During events, the public and clan/mapper associates may use a special TS3 channel for map critique. Keep your tactical game dialogue in the team channels. This additional channel is to help mappers. I want to hear constructive dialogue here. No nonsense.

Here are the details:

Port: 6290
Room/channel: Crucible Custom map Server
No password required!

Behave yourselves. :D

Thanks to everyone who participated in today's event. We got our first look at Wake Island. Not a bad concept, but that black/blank tactical map is the first item in need of repair. :D Otherwise everything looks promising. I wish we could have gotten to more maps than we did in two hours, but what the heck.
The use of the map critique channel was along the lines of what I had hoped, and my best wish is that it will be useful for the mappers going forward. Just continue to be gracious to the guys doing all this development work. We all will win out in the end.

Damn I thought it was 15:00 eastern time.....

:D As always:

TUES. A two-hour session featuring three or more maps at 6pm. US EST. This time slot aimed at the US.

THURS. A two-hour session featuring three of more maps at 2pm. US EST. This will give the U.K. guys a suitable time slot as well.

SUN. Another such two-hour session at 3pm. US EST where both areas should be offered a comfortable time slot.

Maps will be assorted and rotated.

I joined played and Wake Island and a part of Kobura, but it got to late to play the other maps.
We had about 20 to 25 players. Now it would help if these players would post any kind of results in this forum. I did see a textmessage telling to do so. But its sadly neglected.

Another issue on Wake Island where the spawns and it had two objectivese to cap 500 meter apart. At a certain moment you have 4 spawns. And you spawn alamost in the objective you need to cap.

:) Actually, what i'd like, and what the message intends, is that they post all comments on maps in the respective mappers release thread; either in Beta map release threads or Alpha release threads in Level Design. Not here.

That way the info gets to where it needs to be and is associated with the map in question. Beyond that mappers and the critics are encouraged to use the map critique TS channel we now provide. There were about six folks in there yesterday.

THIS thread is primarily intended for the schedule postings so that the public will know:

Where? what day? what time? And what maps will be hosted.

Best wishes,

Sajer

For Thurs, Oct 24th, 2pm US EST. The Crucible OGG Custom Map event features:

RSTE-PhosphatePlant

RSTE-Kobura

RSTE-Bataan

TE-Streets of Stalingrad.

I'm going to skip Wake Island until Sunday in anticipation of a possible update.

If there seems to be repetition here with some maps, keep in mind that I am
focusing on maps which have had recent updates. I want to make sure mappers/public have a chance to observe behavior after tweaking.

During events, the public and clan/mapper associates may use a special TS3 channel for map critique. Keep your tactical game dialogue in the team channels. This additional channel is to help mappers. I want to hear constructive dialogue here.

Thanks a ton to everybody who participated in today's event. It may have been one of our two most successful events in terms of participation. And on a Thursday no less.

Drecks map got a workout, and so did the others. I'm VERY pleased.

I'll have a Sunday schedule posted here by Saturday at the latest.

Best wishes,

Sajer
