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.

So let's hear everyone's good, bad and ugly valentines day stories!

A couple of years back, I think just before covid hit, I liked this girl. Friends with her sister, cousins and mother and I'd go out drinking with her sometimes. Decent friends with them all. Anyways one day I was at her house and talking to her mother having a few beers and pretty much got permission to ask her daughter out. I think the daughter was in bed or something I don't remember. And before anyone asks ... no. I didn't pretend to be a plumber and spend 4 hours trying to fix their pipes in an epic 4-some.

A couple weeks passed and I worked out a plan for valentines day. I went and bought her something like this. She's a big Disney nerd and I figure I'd be the Beast to her Beauty or something. I popped over while she was at work and left it for her to unwrap. It had a card in it as well, I don't remember exactly what I wrote but I remember it being fucking embarrassing lol.

It turns out she waited until her mother and sister were home together to open it. All 3 of them thought it was going to be a joke and were quite shocked by everything  A few messages from them back and forth and it's fair to say it backfired. She held on to the rose but I got well and truly friend-zoned. Worse actually as we very rarely speak and never go out any more. Me and the whole of that family.

Someone once said, "No-one ever fell in love without being a little brave". Fuck em  

Share the stories if you have any ladies and gents  Someone's gotta have something worse than mine ... or better! ❤️ 

Beautiful. Can we make the forums pink this weekend too? (And keep it pink)

Now for example if its is 20vs20 and one team has 5 afks in spawn

In a perfect world everyone would press F3 and the map would start with everyone ready but it doesn't work like that on a pub server. I'm guilty of being afk the start for many reasons with the majority me thinking I would be back in time. And being a high admin I can't be put spec until I run the length of the inactivity timer

It's up to everyone to call out afk people. You die and Tom is still stood there when you respawn? Call it out. He'll be put spec if he doesn't respond.

Besides it's not something TM can do I don't think? Submit a ticket ... request ... whatever it's called on github to the devs.

If the inactivity timer was short, like 10 seconds for example, then it would impact people who chat. You stop to type and the timer starts. I sometimes get the automated warning because I've been typing too much and that's with it at 30 seconds or whatever.

interesting idea, case closed on legacy?

https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/issues/1498

It was pushed back from the current 2.79 release to the 2.8 release, or so it appears. No clue how far along it is to being implemented or anything.

Wait a minute ... I changed the spawn times by a few seconds months and months ago. I was hesitant to change it more than a second or two due to how different attacking the first and second part are. Did I change the wrong teams spawn time and no-one noticed?  Pretty sure I didn't change the time limit though.

Temple lacks of forest. Sounds more like Haunted Mansion .. without Mansion  . 

It sounds like Haunted Mansion.

You build a bridge on one side. There is a forest but it's all out of bounds and there is a graveyard on the first part I think. To get to the final mansion you have to blow a coffin ... I think?

I was looking forward to this being a topic of Eagle raging, then I saw the date. I'm disappointed  

It's pointing to the wrong folder so it doesn't see any pk3 to load up? C:\Users\Donald\AppData\Local\Temp/etmain The / is the wrong way around at the end. At least I assume that's your issue.

It's a fast shoot server so if the bots find you and you sit there they'll just kill you. Even if they suck and miss they still shoot 5 rounds a second or something, enough to cripple you. I cannot express how much of a difference fast shoot makes. The bots are there to fill in when a player cannot, therefore should be able to defend itself and attack as such. Treat them a player. Their waypoints limit them to camping or forcing the obj and so on but expect that. Learn from it. Just because it's a "beginners" server doesn't mean it should be cake walk for even the worst players out there.

I'm pretty sure you once said that about prestige...

Shit.

Don't forget guys, at 100, 200 and 300 SR you get special perks to use in game. What these perks are we'll leave it to the dedicated to find out  

Sick. Crippled. Old. Sore. Dizzy. Ran across the map 47 times to find someone. Still managed 3rd place.

I had fun  So close to knifing Mini too! Poor @tupla though, he got so close so many times
