Psych wrote:

Alright, team two, AKA Team Curvaciously Delicious, has a steam group, and people in said steam group. All of you who have been invited have been set up for admin rights, enjoy the power. Zero and Dango, pm me your steam ids and I will add you. Otherwise I will assume you are figments of Mex's imagination. And not the sexy imagination.

I've invited Zer0 and Dango to the group, it's on them to accept now.

V.V members, see the new announcement in the group.

Any chance someone made a map pack for the private server? Tonight was the first night i've been on there but it seems to me that there's quite a few custom maps and I don't have a week to wade through the 700+ pages of the TF2 thread. Thanks =)

Dimmerswitch has all of the custom maps we play on here.

Hello! small update for today:

Still waiting on a couple of team names, namely teams 1, 6 & 7 (Please PM me your team name!). Also, Jeff66 retires from team 1, here's a slightly updated team list:

Do we have a layout of the competition format and scoring? Is that still being nailed down?

Most of the teams have accepted the World Cup Style tourney rules so we're going with that. For scoring, I'd prefer to just count "Matches won", but because of the map styles we might use "Most points on team scoreboard at the end of the match" (The ones at the top, not individual scores) to determine who won.

Are we having a limited set list of maps to pick from?

Any maps on the Pub, and if you guys REALLY want to play a custom map from the private, I can add it.

Thank you, pantsless stranger.

Are there any kind souls out there that can make this:

into a transparent spray (remove the black) that doesn't fade away when viewed at a distance? I can get the transparent part fine by deleting the black and converting it to a .png file, and it looks fine when put through VTFedit, but it fades in and out depending on how close your are to it when in game.

(for the curious: that's Christina Hendrick's outline, a more curvaceously delicious woman I cannot imagine)

I can send you the targa file that needs to go through vtf edit (check your PMs), or you can do this if you have PS or Gimp:

Dimmerswitch has all of the custom maps we play on here.

So is the recommendation to download all of these, unzip, and put them in your team fortress 2/tf/maps directory? Just asking because there's, well, quite a few of them.

I think you won't need to unzip them, though I'm sure folks will chime in if I'm off-base.

If you don't download them ahead of time, the server will automatically send over the map if it's one you haven't already installed. The downside is that can take a while, and if it's a fairly fast level, you can join just in time for the switch to the next map.

You don't need to unzip them they are in bzip format which TF2 will deal with. Also if you don't grab them and the server is full you may lose your spot.

Cashworks, IMO.

So... I'm voluptuous? Agreed.

Now I'll just have to remember the server's password. Time to search my mail.

STABBITY

I thoroughly enjoyed popping heads last night. I think I got most of the rust out.

For lack of any ideas here is what I got so far. Pretty basic. It only took me 5 minutes anyway.

I made it following this and while I can get the parts I want transparent, the actual image parts fade away the further you move from it when I use it in game.

Can we get a list of the maps that are in play?

Go to gwj.skulljackpot.com/maps. Everything on there is on the server. There is also a map list on page 1 of the server thread (link in my sig).

I think Mex has said that for the tournament, we're mostly going to be sticking to maps that are available on the pub... and for the most part those are stock maps. Wizkid, if you plan to join us on the private server, you will want to download the maps from Dimmerswitch's site that Homer linked above.

And here I thought it'd be tough to come up with a spray that did justice to how crazy-good a team name "Anne Franks Attic Rave" is.
