Welcome to the forums  

There's no "auto space". You can stay waiting for a revive all map technically. While you didn't see anything, someone must have damaged you further as you waited for you to then be gibbed. With ff being on and with so many online a lot can happen that you might miss.

Might be, but Im following the @Charlie teaching there (copied his sentence also).

A lot of what I spout is outdated or for another server  I'm a dinosaur  

Imagine right. When you accumulate a number of PP you can go in to a little online store and buy a new slightly different skin or something. Wanna logo up your uniform with <=TM=>? Yes please. Want a pink helmet? Sure. A panza that looks like a sausage? Go for it. You want to do a "Wilhelm scream" when you die? Why not. The possibilities are endless  

In all seriousness I like the sounds of it. Levelling skills gives me something different to do instead of playing the same 2 classes each map. It might not be everyone's cup of tea though.

This whole map poll -

But really. Cathedral, Cortex and Goldrush SW are added.

Dingenskirshen, Ice and Goldrush Official have been removed. 75% sure. Any issues lemme know  Does this count as fashionably late or just sucking at being an admin?

Sorry guys for the late reply. I literally put the new maps on a Legacy server that isn't even online by accident and had to dip out for work til now. I'll sort it out this week, I think.

Cathedral, Cortex and Goldrush SW will be added.

Dingenskirshen, Ice and Goldrush Official will be removed.

Cheers everyone for all your input and voting!!

Charlie has mentioned about replacing maps if  i remember exactly, but i may be wrong.

There's 27 maps in the /etmain directory but it's been so long since I've did maps I don't know if I can add 4 without removing any to hit the 31 limit, or if maps not included in etmain are included in this count too. For example Radar, Fueldump, Railgun and GR .pk3 aren't in etmain but are on the server, so are there actually 31 maps and I'm at the limit or only 27?

Basically I'm playing it safe and removing one to add one, cos Eagle will shout at me if I break the server and I'm due to do that at some point. It's been a while  

Hey all.

At the beginning of January I'm sure everyone noticed a couple of crashes on our legacy server. We checked the game logs and server logs but we didn't know whats was causing it. We tried to move the game server to a different/new installation; we applied the latest OS updates; we disabled our custom LUAs and all of this without fixing the problem. The server kept crashing almost every day for an unknown reason.  After a long and really careful investigation, and with really close cooperation with the ET:Legacy development team, we noticed what was connecting all of the crashes together.

We found out someone was able to kill/crash the server but we had no idea how he was doing it. We had an "information embargo" and kept quiet about what we found. We created a trap which redirected this person to a second server running in debug mode. Then the ET:Legacy dev team done awesome work and found what was causing the crashing and created the fix. We applied the fix and from then on the server is stable and working as it was previously.

We honestly need to thank all the time and work Mr, Mini, Eagle and the Legacy devs put in to fixing this.

At the start this person joined our Legacy server, played some games and had a chit-chat with a few our valued players. He realised that his server is nearly empty for the vast majority of the day and he probably wanted to get some players from our server, which is currently most played Legacy mod based server.

So you're asking who this person is now right?

Q'|AlTuM|QuarkClan He is from Quark Clan, from the server which is called "~~~Q'|ETLEGACY OFFICIAL" 

https://et.trackbase.net/server/47008/

https://et.trackbase.net/player/6102709/

Details are in the spoiler below.

For others in the gaming community: if you require any other details about the exploit he used and about how to fix the server, we will happily provide you with all the information we have.

Love this song for some reason. Probably tells of my love life lol.

First one of the year! These are what got suggested to me here on the forums and on the server. To add one map we need to remove one map. I'd like to add 2 and remove 2 but it depends on the votes. Voting is open until the start of February so tell your friends!

Omitted MML Church. They recommend teams of up to 6 which makes it too small for Legacy.

2 versions of Goldrush will be on the server as they are so popular. Which two are up to you. Sigh, why can't people love Minas Tirith like they do Goldrush and make my day  

All questions are multiple choice so vote for as many or as few as you like.

Links to maps on Trackbase:

El Kef / Karsiah / Cortex / Operation Resurrection / Pantherbase / UJE Convoy / Sands of Time / Raw Castle Final / Warbell / Marrakech / Cathedral / V2 Factory

Want Goldrush SW back and GR- GA and Standard GR away.
There was a time i thought standard maps have to be on server... TImes are changing.

There's always the option for standard maps to come back if that is what people want. I might add something not suggested or not allow something on the poll for whatever reason but pretty much everything changing on Legacy is due to popular demand.

@Ctrz You mean this map for Resurrect? https://et.trackbase.net/map/164/  MML Church and Pantherbase might be too small. Church especially. We'll see.

Italy won't be added due to it making the server crash at times. I need a bind for typing this one  

@Sebast1an Marrakesh night or day?

To Add:

1) El Kef / Karsiah_te / Cortex / Resurrect / Pantherbase / UJE Convoy / Sands of Time / MML Church / Raw Castle Final / Warbell / Marrakesh / Cathedral / V2 Factory

2) Which GR version people want. GR standard / GR_GA / GR_SW. The top 2 voted will be on the server.

To remove:

Dingenskirshen / Reactor.

Any more suggestions for removals? If not I'll put on V2 Base and TC Base as they have been the least played recently.

Can we have Cortex running on legacy?

We can .... 

The server is consistently crashing again like last week. I can't seem to get it stable and have no idea whether it's Legacy related or TM related. The last lines in console before it shuts down each time mentions initiating legacy ui and the amount of ui cvar enabled. If someone could check the logs Charlie will  you!

I have to duck out for the night unfortunately  

Holy shit Charlie what are you doing!? Asking what maps we want twice in one month!? You lost you're mind boy!

The last one was more of a replace the Xmas maps with something random, but we're back to the proper thing now. Lemme know here what maps you wanna see on Legacy or what maps you want rid of. Remember to add one map I have to remove one map first so anything you don't like on the server feel free to share too.

Any map suggested must have omnibot support or it won't be considered remember!

Poll will be ... soon. And I plan to add/remove maps at the start of February.

Here are the current maps on the server and what has been before-ish. Been a while since I edited this before now so it might not be 100%. Green is good! Amber is worth another go. Red is a no go!  Clicky

As a rough guide here is what is played in the last week: Clicky The longer after this topic is made the more accurate it should be as old maps get dropped out.

Doesnt the server takes the map, longest NOT played, when votes are Equal ( or when no votes ) ?

I dunno how it tallies votes, but if none are cast like when it's bots only then it'll go to Venice even if that map was just played (I think). Then it'll follow a rotation between goldrush, radar, railgun, fueldump and supply .... I think.

Yeah, so maps like Venice and Goldrush, the one's the server goes to when there's no votes cast, are pushed higher up the ranks.

Added MLB Temple ... probably. Don't think the time extensions work but we'll see.

Removing Maps...arent there Stats available what Maps get voted how many times?

Lowest Votes = remove...at least thats what i would do

https://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverinfo&idx=760479&section=mappool&mpsortfield=timepc&mpsortdir=desc

More detailed one we can pull from server but this is easier to read imo  This shows the maps played in the last 7 days.

Mini requested that I should add Stalingrad to the server, how can I say no to her?

I'll see what I've got to play with tomorrow and add one or two.

Off the top of my head I won't add Italy (broken), Hydro Dam (like baserace it might not end and I can't remember if the script works) nor Temple (the add time script doesn't work last I checked unfortunately).

It's been a while! I hope Santa has been good to everyone and the new year is awesome for everyone.

When the holidays are over we'll lose all the santa hats, bikinis and snowflakes. Same goes for Xmas maps too. Any recommendations to add or remove maps in the coming weeks?

I won't make a poll as I wanna rotate the maps just after holidays end and not wait a few weeks, so any input is greatly appreciated. This is your chance to add some awesome unknown map to stun 2020 with! ET in 2020? Who would have thought?

A minor detail but !listplayers wasn't working fully in between these crashes listed above. It would only list a dozen or so players until the server "crashed" again and it corrected. I didn't get to test other commands out. I would hazard a guess that something is interfering or conflicting with wolfadmin or something related to it? 

Wait wait ... I remember a tiger ... and ... THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH!

Come back early. Family issues for one of the group  

One split his head open on the breakfast bar on the first night. He danced a bit, passed out in the bathroom then danced some more when we picked him up and gave him a spiced rum, before he collapsed on a bed to bleed out. Threw a blanket at him and told I wasn't undressing him lol. The maid loved cleaning that pool of blood up on the floor and sheets. Was like a scene out of CSI lol. Looking back on it now though .... probablyyyyyy not the smartest thing to do with him.

We left one of the group in a bar on the second night because he loved the heavy metal band, that's not our cup tea. He text me he was in trouble so we all trot back down expecting it all to kick off but he just had two girls around him. His definition of help and mine are completely different but we cleared the girls away after a dance. The next day we found out he'd spent over 90 euros in the space of the 45 minutes we'd been apart and can only assume they robbed him. Never saw these lasses again either.

Luckily it calmed after that night though and I only threw up once!

We decided it best to come home after 6 nights and booked on the cheapest flight, but it got cancelled and we spent 9 hours in the airport waiting for information. We eventually got put up in a 4* hotel for free so went back out for another night on the drink before our new flight the next day. Saw more cockroaches in this 4* hotel in 1 night than we did in 6 days in the dump we were previously in. Didn't make sense.

One of us then got caught with a few thousand tabs in customs when we finally got back to the UK. Talk about ruining the end of the holiday assholes.

All in all it was an awesome laugh and I'd do it all over again. Blood, puke, thieves and all. I need to find a responsible friend though - you know one that looks after the rest of us. Like a mother figure. Let's see what the New Year brings.

Merry Christmas  

Connected to Legacy fine and have a low stable ping.

Smack some tracert legacy.teammuppet.com things up in cmd prompt next time it happens and it'll help us see if it's a server/provider issue, your issue or somewhere in the middle. The logs might show something but I don't have the time to go right through them unfortunately.

You have my bow!

And my sword!

Yo guys it's been a while. I'm Charlie for the new blood, Eagle's pain in the arse. I'm sorry I haven't been around but shit happens.

I'm gunna be in Lanzarote for my Christmas so I probably won't be anywhere near internet from around now til just before new year. Life's awesome when you stop and enjoy it. Might post a picture cos quite frankly I don't see how Santa goes around hot places dressed in his big sweaty outfit. How does he manage hot countries in that? If I see a fat fully clothed winter Santa outside a club I'm gunna have words.

Anyway! Bit of Shakin Stevens. Have a good one Muppets.
