Hey People.
Only hours to go till this week’s Session commences, and I CAN’T WAIT!! Here’s the latest news:
TIMESLOT UPDATE
Ok, we’ve been playing Saturdays and Sundays, and the turnout is .. about equal, with Saturday being *slightly* bigger. Maybe. Players have been arriving at around 23:30, so I’m not sure whether to stick with 23:00GMT, or make it 23:59GMT. Remember, the point of this is not to need people to be there for 4 hours, it’s to synchronise our schedules, and get the most people on the server at the same time. If current trends persist, it looks like the Weekly AGR Session will be 23:59 GMT, and it will be one game. Most people are arriving at around 23:30 (ish) and stay for at least 2 games /2 hours.
TEAMDAMAGE BUG FIXED
I fixed a bug where players were still being damaged even though team damage was off.
BAD TESLA TINKERS
As part of the AGRv4 anti-dickhead measures, badly tinkered Teslas attack the engineer, NOT the whole team, so I was surprised last week to see a tinkered Tesla attack teammates. After further analysis, it was a fluke. I had another look at the code and it was written so that a certain % of the time the rogue tesla attacks the engineer, and the rest of the time it attacks teammates. This discourages intentional team sabotage, whilst keeping the ‘fun’ tension of *occasionally* messing up your own team!
SPAMADELLICA AS STANDARD?
Talking of Team Damage, we’ve been getting a few newbies to the game, so (for a trial period) I’ve switched the TeamDamage settings so that Spamadellica (No team damage + no mirror damage) is the norm, and the last Sunday of the month will be played with AGR’s ‘Dynamic Mirror Damage’ setting.
Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at this weeks:
What: Weekly AGR Session
Where: tastyspleen.net:26666
When: Saturday AND Sunday 23:00 GMT. Convert this to your timezone here.
Who: Players young and old, Gurus and newbs
Why: Because you want BIG, ORGANISED TF games. .!
MAP SCHEDULE = We played a VERY enjoyable 2brave1 last week, so altough it’s not optimal, Bigger maps are playable with smaller (ie less than 10) players. So.. let’s see what happens, how the players feel, and I’ll be optimistic, and schedule in: laser2, canyon1, and unscheduled ( um.. you tell me)!
