Charlie

5 year old topic  If you guys wanna discuss it don't use that old topic. Use this one.

I quickly read it and it looks like people were tired of arty spam so requested longer times between shots, so a slower charge time. I remember the spam being pretty bad for some reason. Alas this affected ammo given too. The cvar looks like the answer but this was around the time we had a few issues with Legacy versions and malicious persons abusing vulnerabilities in the old version, and I guess it got forgotten about due to the severity of that issue.

We can look at it again, maybe  

"set team_maxAirstrikes "1" means how many times per minute arty/air can be successfully called, apparently.

Just to confirm for someone like me who doesn't know what being on time means, this is 7pm uk time right?

If you rearrange the letters in the first post it spells out Minas Tirith.

Given the idiot on the server cheating atm I would say yes. He looks like the kind of no life basement dweller that will keep it up, not the usual that give up after a little time.

I feel like level 2 is too low to give it to but idk people on the server. We need to keep on top of people who abuse this though. Make some kind of post about the changes but not why (don't want to give the cheater attention), and the consequences on abusing it. Instant removal of level and no chance to regain it or something.

EDIT/ Thought this was in members only

If I read 20/12 on supply at ETL Server, that should also fit for Nitmod.

These times are also catered to a 20v20 server, and not the 5v5 or so that nitmod averages. It's 100 times easier to do the objective when you have 7 less people to go through and 20 less nades to avoid.

When you look at maps check out this link, if it works. Average time of each map. Obviously each map has different total time but you get the jist. Let's look at Supply, it lasts 13.6 minutes on average. I think the total time is 16 mins. It's usually a hard map for the attacker anyways, do we need to reduce that average? Or am I being too analytical?

By the way - even if it's off topic: Bots on Braundorf doesn't work. Nice map with 10 real players, but a mess with bots. Allies Bots are going to the flag altough it's already captured by main gate explosion.

Yeah I saw and reported that but idk why it happens. The map and the omnibots have remained the same since forever for that map.

In my opinion, the medic change was a huge shake up of the server. Let the dust settle on that, let people find out the new playstyle and so on. Changing too much at once can be detrimental.

Sometimes u need to play all classes to see things diffrently.

Quite logical, however the suggested changes depend on who you ask so there's really no way to please everyone.

I play, or played, a mash up of medic to frag, solider to be lazy, or engi to do the obj or be a pain. I was never great at any but I feel like I was decent if I tried. I feel like all the classes are balanced on a server the size of ETL1 and on the Legacy mod, more or less, given we have all the skill levels maxed other than medic4. While I don't play right now I know settings haven't really changed. Nades is fine imo, as is a soldiers smg.

Maps, spawn times and all that jizz can be changed but there's a fine line to balance it all.

If we increase say Venice spawn times by 2-6 seconds for Axis like suggested, how would that effect them spawning at that first spawn and defending it? They would be crippled imo. if I play engi I sometimes I don't have time to build and plant mines as Axis before the tank is a the gate. It's the bank area that is a slog. How do I fix that? I don't know. Give Allies a tunnel to blow in to the bank as well, something that takes Axis away from sitting around the courtyard  Maps are most balanced when there isn't 1 or 2 attack points in an open space that bottleneck in to 1.

And, as suggested, Deli spawn times. Axis spawn too quick then there's no point, but spawn to slow then they can't defend either the flag or the button. Believe me we have tried most combinations of spawn times on the popular maps and settled on what works, the majority of the time. The majority of time being the key phrase here. You can cap the flag in the first spawn allies have and hold it but it could still be a long slog to both tap the button and hold the truck.

All is just my opinion of course and no reflection to what is what.

Now.

As you know I am an idiot. As far as I could tell the script additions were on the server on the goldrush GA map script, they were just like 8 lines lower down than github stated. I figure these code monkeys are very specific about where things go so I moved said line up the script.

If the script works, bow down to me. If it deletes all TM data blame Nanaa.

Also if things go to pot I do have the old script  

Was the banner section a part of ET before the hud update for Legacy? Never seen a server use it before, other clans included. It has been a while since I paid attention to be fair and my memory is shoddy in my old age.

Wait, does the banner section update like, baserace scores for example? Or Cluedo rooms?

I'm glad that I'm only old enough to have grown up the Megadrive, Playstation and Dreamcast. You old folks having to use those crappy ancient amiga, commodore and stuff really missed out 😂

I legit remember crying my eyes out when my parents bought me a ps2. Played so many hours of F1 2001, Red Faction and GTA III.

As someone who says stupid shit all the time, take it from me, take a week and have some fun elsewhere. Come back refreshed. I hear Hogwarts is good this time of year.

That's not wall hack in the YouTube video. It's (I think) cg_shownormals 1. You can do that too. Only while playing demo tho, it's cheat protected by sever and forced to be off. I'm sure I can find some actual wall hack videos for you 

Wait. you mean you don't play like this too?

Make sense.Any bloodrelatsionship with  @Charlie by any chance?😁

Woah woah woah. This lad spent most of his days in Sunderland I think. A Mackem . Geordie boy through and through me.

Creative writing? Fine.

There was once a man called Charlie and his child, Steven. They lived a happy but secluded life in the cold and harsh lands of New Castle. Steven was a happy go lucky little boy but his father, Charlie, knew of the evil residing nearby - the one called Mike Cashley. He never wanted his son to see the harsh reality of being a Newcastle fan so he hid the truth. He lived in the 90's and and relived the glory years, hoping to hide who he and the world really was. They remained at peace and he taught his son how to do a Shearer celebration.

This idyllic setting did not last. Mike Cashley was defeated in battle by an Arabian army led by Goddess Stavley and for the first time, Charlie showed his son glimpses of the land beyond New Castle. Unfortunately he was not alone. Many angry and jealous of the shift of power sought to undermine and overthrow the new Arabian leadership.

Exeunt omnes.

In a crash of thunder and lightening a mysterious figure landed to the sound of "this theme tune", repeating in a slurred voice "5 in a row". Hesitant but determined, Charlie opened his front door with his son behind him.

"Who are you!?" Charlie shouts amidst the crackle of the shit theme tune.

The stranger's scarf blows in the wind, the distinctive red and white. The colours of the enemy. 

"Can I come in?" The stranger asks. "I have Vaux..."

After a slight hesitation and making sure his child is shielded, Charlie allows the stranger to enter his home. He didn't bring any decent beer, but it was something. The stranger looks around his home and says, "Nice place". Charlie, without words, ushers him to the coffee table in the sitting room.

In a scene of big bollocks, the stranger puts his Sunderland scarf on the table. Charlie replies with his Newcastle scarf. No words are spoken but chests are puffed. Steven is stunned.

"Hmph. You know who I am?" The stranger asks.

Charlie grunts. "A Mackem. Flesh Pulse."

.....

I spent longer on this than I should. Slight plagiarism

The spawn times are fine in the map config. I vaguely remember we had an issue on this map before with spawn times ...? Or am I tripping?

Does the charge used also apply to planting mines and dynamite, and using pliers? Or effect anything else I'm not aware of? If it doesn't it seems like that would be the best way to go about any possible limitations to rifle nade spam in my opinion.

We have like 30 maps on rotation. If there's too few maps to vote from in the endgame then you may never see your favourite maps all night. It's at 10 so people can see some unusual/newer maps but also see maybe the more played maps at the same time too.

I would personally remove the 3, 2 and 1 vote count and just have it 1 vote per map but I think that's something the devs have to change and not us? I dunno.

What would you restrict rifle nades to?

We can change set g_minMapAge "10" to something more but it wouldn't be beneficial imo. Depending on what gets voted for, 10 maps could be longer than a players play time so they will never see a map they'd like to play. 10 - 12 seems to be the sweet spot after all the fiddling we have done over the years. I don't think we'll ever move from the map vote system, I mean we always want people to have the most input they can.

If a map is good then it will get played. Take Pirates for example - that was an addition years ago and proved to be a pretty decent success. Decay is another one that springs to mind for smaller games. Unfortunately ET is an old game and any maps has either already been tried or isn't working/suitable for a large public server. We will always chop and change maps but we can never force people to play them and expect to keep a healthy server.

Admins are looking in to it. In the mean time please be patient with us and don't post unless you have more details to add to the topic. 

We're looking at this all wrong imo.

The main objective of the map is to steal/secure the docs right? Why don't we just photocopy and share the docs between the teams? It'll save 24 minutes of heartache and needless deaths. Heck axis could photocopy fake docs and allies would never know until they're having tea and crumpets in the evening.

You evil tyrants aka "admins" never let me add minas to any server so I have to enjoy myself in private. Many hours of fun can be had on Minas, you just have to believe. One map to rule them all.

But can everyone not see what is going on now? TM are impersonating others!! This guys plays too well for it to be me. See all these unban requests lately, all these "unfair" bans? It's just admins pretending to be them and doing bad things!! Then these unfortunate people are taking the fall! Don't believe the lies! Question. Everything.

✊ ✊ ✊

So I missed my 10th birthday with TM. Oops! I've been in this community for a little over 10 years now. Been a recruiter. Rage quit the clan. Rejoined. Recruiter. Rage quit. Rejoined. Admin. Leader. Retired. Leader. Retired. Maybe not in that order  I've met some awesome people, met a lot of awesome people actually. Back in the day on old Jaymod, love any of you guys that are left ❤️ Also met some complete arseholes along the way, I also love you guys I suppose  Here's to another 10 years 🥰

Also what a shitty application. I would have rejected my ass  

I know it's a sensitive topic so first off admins will be moderating it as such. Please keep any radical, racial or otherwise stupid comments to yourself.

War is terrible and no-one condones what has happened. We wish all the best to Ukraine and highly oppose Russia for what it is doing.

That said. What has young John from St. Petersburg done to warrant a ban from TM's ET servers? I understand stomping on the oligarchs and politicians and the people who side in favour of the war, but a general ban on a nations public who arguably disagree with the war doesn't seem fair to me. Even more so in this obscure little community in Wolfenstein:ET.

hiding team can not kill the seekers.

I saw MrMuppet chase Ande through the house and in to the river on Caen. In an effort to save Ande's life I jumped off the roof and body blocked MrMuppet against the pier and stabbed away. I saved Ande's life and was about to kill MrMuppet ... then I slowly realised Mr wasn't taking damage. I had no idea seekers were immortal. I gave my life for my brother @Ande.
