I've been thinking of doing some mapping, too!

Haven't touched q3 engine mapping tools since the early 2000s so I'll have to familiarise myself with everything, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hit me up on discord, I guess!

If we do get serious about mapping, I can set up a test server and collaboration / versioning tools.

Well it sounds like we are almost a team now, I knew I couldn't be the only one

What if i make a mapping channel on our discord where u guys can talk in private and exchange some ideas?

That could be cool if we can setup an environment with a channel and maybe a forum if possible where we can share ideas and info as long as its cost free for the community I vote yes

 

Should we see if we can gather up around 1900 CET Friday? or is it primetime for gaming

Sure, just contact me some time.

I had a brief chat with @kemon today (Thanks @Dmxj @Charlie) and he is bit busy with other projects as mentioned here earlier but he is supportive and willing to help out, so I ill catch you on Discord soon and we see where it leads.

Made 2 TJ Maps in the Past, but havent touched GTK Radiant for ages...would need to work myself back to be any help.

Well I ain't up to speed either.. years ago for me as well.. but I thought if we where a few that worked on it together with a realistic timeframe (we all have lives) we might come up with something useful while having some fun revisiting brushes, shaders, portals and scripts. 
I made one for RTCW and one for ET (Alchemy Castle) and contributed to Operation Tower back in the Dark Alchemy days.

Are you interested in a brainstorming sometime?

@kemon he's making the legacy maps that we use in our servers (ETL Frostbite & maybe ETL Supply Depot in the future)

Thanks, I can see he has not been active here sins May, I'll msg. him and see what happens

Hi All,

Are any of the Muppets doing any mapping?
I've been thinking about making another map or participating in making one. are anyone doing anything they need help with or are anyone interested to start something?

Cheers 
Arno 

I love it when you add new maps, thanks

1944 Huertgen Forest Final 2, Was it just me or did any one else notice both allied and axis spawing at tank start after it was repaired ?
a coble of times I spawned (as Allied) there and got shot in the back by a freshly spawned enemy (Axis) 

Thanks for fun times, was a lot more fun this time now I knew the rules

If you have any mic+ headphones then this thing should also help you out. USB external sound card. I used one long time ago and worked well. Local stores should sell them or you can grab some via internet.

Gr8 idea 
I'll be ready on Sunday

Rules are simple. Two teams hiders and seekers. Hiders mission is to not be killed when time is up and seekers mission is to kill all hiders before time is up. You can hide to increase your chances to survive or just run fast. You have knife to protect yourself, syringe to heal other hiders who have been shot but not gibbed and medpacks to heal yourself. Once you are killed and gibbed you become seeker. Seeker has pistol with unlimited amount of bullets (but still needs to reload) and can respawn again if killed by hider or dead by falling/drowning etc. Any questions?

To listen voice chat is 25% of the fun. Talking is the other 75% as you can taunt seekers or talk with other hiders. If you have any chance to buy even some potato-mic (5€ microphone from regular shop) it usually does the trick if your background noise is not thunderloud.

It helps to look maps before as they are bit different from regular maps as some doors are not blocked off for example. Also practising some pistol shooting and fast jumping/running helps. 

Hope to see you there.

 

Thanks a lot, sounds like a ton of fun.
So as I understand server setting are made so you can't do something wrong?
That was what i was afraid of last time where I didnt even was on Discord

I can easily go and get a mic or a headset and i guess I should.

I play on my custom workstation and it was never made/installed with sound and mic in mind and I have no mini jacks in the 19" Cabinet, so today i only have a Bose Soundlink Mini for sound via bluetooth.

Can anyone recommend anything with bluetooth or USB so I don't have to take the rack apart to get to the mini jacks on the back?
Thanks in advance

I was on a Hide and Seek Event a good half year ago, while it looked fun I did not fully understood the rules so I just hide myself and didn't dare to do anything else in case i broke the rules
I want to join again, but this time around I want to be prepared..

• Where do I find the rules for H&S Events?
• Is it absolutely necessary to have mic. or would it be OK just to listen in? (I don't have mic at the moment) 

Thanks in advance

Thanks for reporting Arno we are working with the ETlegacy Dev's to try and find a fix. Sorry we are having these issues.

Yeah I know your working on, it was just to report it
Keep up the good work !

If it's any help..

The first of this series of crashes happen on Gold Rush, just when the tank passed 1st barrier (when materials are supposed to disappear)
Then it changed to Aldernest map and kept crashing a minute or 2 into the game, I left after some time so i'm not sure how it ended.

The server is constantly crashing Sunday 19/01 2020 1430-? (GMT)
We manage to get a few minutes of play for each crash

Well, medics high HP should help when hes in battle with needle and reviving people. Medics also start with less ammo. It might be out of balance in some cases, but Ive recently also seen hours of plays in server in a 12 player team with 2 heavy wep, 2 fops, 1 covert, 4 engis and 3 medis which seem fine .. 

But I agree to make HP equal when medpacks metric loads fast and you can heal yourself pretty fast.. 

I see your point but i guess you could say the same for engi, they cannot defend them self when planting but yeah anyways it just feels unfair.

I know this was discussed before I even made my ET come back on your server and I can read you already decided on the subject.

Anyway, just wanted to add that I also think the amount of HP an medic has is too much and is sometimes the reason I log off as its too difficult to be an Objective Player (e.g Engineer).
I know it's down to teamwork, but that's not always happening and when you constantly run into medics with 30 some HP more than you, the fun starts to wear off.

Where does it actually come from that medics have 156HP or how much it is, wasn't that normally 140 as I remember it? Was that a part of Legacy when that was developed? I'm still catching up on what happened the last 10+ years

The map and spawn times are ran from the map.cfg, every map has its own cfg that controls these as no one wanted to play default map and spawn times, this overrides any map script as it is the last file loaded on map startup, if the cfg is removed then the map would run the times from the previous map. The map cfg's also controls the amount of say flamers or cov ops depending on the map running and the default.cfg controls certain cvar's such as rate and maxpackets.

Well there we go, thanks for the explanation.
I guess its natural as a lot of other things has changed that you would need to adjust for that on map/spawn times etc.  as the maps and scripts was made for standard ET setup.

So no easy solution for this then.

I added special scripts to add time as objectives were done for both maps but it doesn't add time as it should and I don't have a clue how to fix this. If some wizard can fix the scripts for these maps then by all means. I didn't make these btw, they come with the maps. If spawn times wanna get tweaked then sure. I dunno if I would wanna make maps last longer than 25 mins, especially these maps.

Daybreak needs something to help Axis advance imo, whether this is more forward spawns, longer spawn times, whatever. I'm all ears.

I love Daybreak and would love for this to get fixed

I looked through the script and nothing seems to be wrong, personally i would probably have added the time extension in the game_manager instead of scattered around in the script but it should still work as is. I also see the Time extended text in-game so clearly the lines are read.

What does the Server consol say when time is extended?
Has it been testet on a non-legacy server?  Just thinking that Legacy could overrule the timing somehow? 

Crashed 2 times for me today
1059 CET Crashed and reset to Venice - Looked to me it happened when a Bot tripped a mine.. but who knows.
1242 CET Server Disconnected and was dead for a while, when logging on 5 min later i had to download a new game file/update

We have a new version of ETlegacy to put on the server hopefully this will sort some of the issue's above. Lets see how that goes and then if it doesn't work we can let etl devs know there is still some bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report the issue's

Thanks MiniMuppet.
Ill test again after the update

Hi All, (My First post)
After a 13 year break from RtCW/ET, I have been enjoying myself playing (and dying ) on the your Legacy server for the last couple of weeks now, cheers for that.

The server says to report any issue with the latest version so here is a few from me.

1. The server crashed some days ago and ever since myself and I noticed a few others are not getting any SR or it stays at 0.00 ?
Even its a nice cover of how bad I am, is there a way to fix it?

2. When I do a /devmap of one of my own maps. (Have not yet tried with a pk3)

• Sound missing when picking up Ammo from cabinet.
• Sound and Exp. Animation missing from nades (They still hurt)
• Could be more, as I have only tested this alone

If I remove the 2 downloaded files, issue 2 is back to normal

• pak3_v2.76-442-gb2a9387.pk3
• etl_bin_v2.76-442-gb2a9387.pk3

Yeah I know.. I shouldn't use the same installation for mapping as i use for playing  
 

Thanks for a good server
