06/12/2005 15:26 #42 Jedi jedi posts : 240 administrator Killy I found the problem your having with the server mate. quote : //Force Client Side Rate (1000 min, 25000 max) set de_force_rate 25000 Im trying to get this fixed on our public server. Your correct the clanbase config were using is forcing rate to 25000. Ill let you know as soon as its fixed.

06/12/2005 19:00 #45 Carl33to Carlos 1+3+3=7 posts : 126 administrator RWRAWARRRRRRRR HOW MANY TIMESS. Put CPMA on instead of OSP. You can play the exact same gametypes with all the same physics (movement) and theres all the added advantages CPMA brings eg promode game modes, better net code (heaps it seems, with some timenudge type thing in there), multi-view demos.   edited by Carl33to on 06/12/2005 19:02

06/12/2005 20:34 #46 quetzal Ownerer. posts : 80 So long as qw is still on games5.iol.ie:27500, I wont complain about changes - that doesnt exactly take cpu!

06/12/2005 21:43 #47 RevHellfire rev posts : 19 Right q3 is back Ive decided to open the server setups to everyone here: http://www.darkkeep.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35 Its the only way I can think of doing it until we get a more neutral general gaming portal like the old ign.

06/12/2005 22:04 #48 Illkillya James Galvin Entering a world of pain clan : fish heads posts : 892 site administrator ive donated to quake.ie! That sounds great Rev - Im not one to be making decisions like these really since Im so out of touch with most games, like Pirates for example... is that Pirates of the Carribean? Didnt even know that game had a multiplayer. Perhaps the best place for a discussion on these things would be boards.ie, because just about every Irish online gamer has an account there, while only the different factions would read quake.ie. A general gaming portal like IGN is definitely the way to go... dunno if Eric has read this yet, would like to know what he thought of it. Will have a think about servers - one thing were really lacking is an Irish COD2 server imo, I dont know how intensive that is on the CPU, but if there are as many active players as Jedi says then it could be a good one.

07/12/2005 06:39 #49 Rapier Rapp clan : n8z posts : 278 administrator BF2 probably has a couple hundred or more irish gamers, theres a stats site that lists users by location and there are plenty of irisg flags floating in the air. www.theirishguard.com [TiG] which myself and Mindphuck are part of has at least 30-40 members if not more of which 90% are irish. It can be a bit of an eye opener when you infiltrate into another games community.

07/12/2005 09:10 #50 RevHellfire rev posts : 19 games4 can handle anything that is out there at the moment, games2 can give a good stab at most things as well. the other servers arent so hot, but can certainly handle some of the older games or the mods that run on them. As for Pirates its a mod for bf1942, quite popular, the games2 server would have between 15-30 players on a typical night if there isnt an event on which is typically held on games1. Its quite small but active community. Ive decided to do this on darkkeep because Ive passed this on to the pirates guys as well so wantted somewhere more neutral. As for sunday everything other than POP and QW are up for replacement I think its time we aimed for populated servers rather than causally used ones. Which is why Im doind it this way.

07/12/2005 11:41 #52 Dardoz Darren ut>q? clan : n8z posts : 164 just so no1 thinks im stepping on their toes when it happens. I started working on an irish gaming site a couple of weeks ago. It most likely wont be ready this year tho. As Im a designer the development will prolly take me a while..

07/12/2005 16:05 #53 Vinnit eamo . clan : fish heads posts : 164 carl is the spawn system in cpma votable? cos im not playing osp style quake with cpma spawns. I know there more proper but everyone who plays osp doesnt want the spawn system changing 6 years after the game has been released. They completely change how the game is played.

07/12/2005 17:35 #54 Pyro Stephen clan : n8z posts : 49 Well Rapp didnt think youd forget about robotank I really cant see myself playing q4 anytime soon, when I first got the game It seemed alright but then i slowly lost interest (After one or two plays) But if it gets better next year or sometime after that Ill give it another go, in the mean time Ill still be apart of n8z but just Awol I guess.

07/12/2005 17:42 #55 Carl33to Carlos 1+3+3=7 posts : 126 administrator as far as I know everything is the same (including spawns now) apart from: 1. the inital spawns - so in a duel its possible to spawn at shards at the start of a match. now people could complain about that or realise that people always complained about the starting spawns in osp (fs not the sg pillar etc.) and that this only affects duel. 2. huds - couldnt give a shit myself, the cpma huds are fairly customizable and I kind of like my one (http://members.boards.ie/carl33to/cpmhud.jpg) 3. the nomipped lg is a bit different (pic doesnt do it justice) - again this is nitpicking 4. ive heard people say its too easy to rail and lg in cpm-vq3 - Ill believe this when I see it (but Id have no problem with it personally )

09/12/2005 17:31 #56 Dardoz Darren ut>q? clan : n8z posts : 164 http://archive.gamespy.com/stats/ Need we say more. The 24th most played online game Q3 is dead and it has far more players than Q4 which is only marginaly more popular than Q3   edited by Dardoz on 09/12/2005 17:32

09/12/2005 18:37 #57 Carl33to Carlos 1+3+3=7 posts : 126 administrator look at half life that game is ridiculously successful

11/12/2005 23:53 #58 Illkillya James Galvin Entering a world of pain clan : fish heads posts : 892 site administrator ive donated to quake.ie! Those gamespy stats are skewed for q4 because of the amount of servers that dont show up. I dont know why, but for me I can always see just about every server including all clan servers in UK in ASE/Gamespy, but they do not show up for me in Quake4. Agreed, theres feck all people playing it but with 150 clans in the OpenCup TDM, and 512 player 1v1 tourneys popping up its hardly as dead as that link suggests.

12/12/2005 07:48 #59 Jedi jedi posts : 240 administrator I get the same problem in ASE killy. looks like theres over 1000 servers but none of them show up in ASE unless i add them in manually.

13/12/2005 14:50 #60 Dardoz Darren ut>q? clan : n8z posts : 164 I watched a few of those .bat file demos from esr that run the shoutcasts at the same time last night. Watching fox, toxic and other really good players has lead me to one conclusion. The game is absolutely sh1te. Although when straffing along in straight lines it is possible to get up speed as in q3, the maps are so bloody condensed that it is painful to watch it is slow small. It appears because of the ramp jumping people are trying to put so many different levels on the maps than instead of flat, free flowing areas, theres just nothing but corners, rampjumps, ledges with people camping on them etc...I HATE IT. The map I was watching was Galang btw, 3 times in a row. Maybe I just hate the gameplay on Galang. It reminds me much more of D3 than any Quake game.
