Yeah, gg's today also; I have a tendency to just get out instead of responding, should have gg'ed before I left.

Thanks for the text file. Should Ariza][ and Q1DM4 be on that list or are they gone? Saw them on your map vote this morning, but not in text file.

I like that you added some of those 1on1 maps, Adversity, Memento Mori, Nali Temple and Synergy. Egyptian Ownage is a simple and fun map that I haven't played until on your server. Also, glad to see some of the maps go that you deleted. Disappointed to see the following maps go though (no big deal):

Elsinore][ - had great Unreal music! (same as in NaliCastle][)
HallsofRedemptionV2 - fun map, but this is on a lot of servers
Talath - just a fun map I haven't played online until your server
Vault - "
Veltor][ - next to HallsofRV2, this is probably the most fun out of the ones deleted
Loxi][ - just getting into this one
Pah - can be a rocket fest, also on a lot of servers
Sewer][ - just kinda getting into this one, too

I'll have to try Waterside and Venus. Waterside didn't seem too impressive from the screen shots though.

I'll be off my computer after 3pm eastern today until Fri afternoon. If you see my online before then, it will be as om_has_the_red_flag on my brother's computer! See Ya!

Heya SkarMaster,

Dont know if your back yet and reading the forums, but I have
the map page up again, this is on a seperate server so all should
be fine now...

http://208.56.141.124/

I have also put the maps in a list so its easy to just hit the
first letter of a map to scroll to it... say you want to check if
I have 'Synergy' - then you can hit 's'

Thanks,

Just checked it and this helps me out a lot; even though I'm not too impressed with some of the maps you added, I'll still play your server as long as the lag stays down. See Ya!

Hey SkarjMaster,

I had to take some of the maps out that people
complained about - some of the large/medium maps
that was to large for the playerload - I still have one or
two larger maps so players can have a 'search and destroy'
kinda match - thats my favorite way to play apart from all
out carnage deathmath :D

Nevermind what I said on the other thread (Waterside). I need to open my eyes; thought this disappeared this afternoon. If you want too large for the player load, try DM-Organic. Great map! When I run my server, probably never now because my brother can't get UT running, I tried Organic with 5 total players and it lasted a while with a 20 frag limit.

Dowloaded the whole Jewel Map Pack and I think my 3 favorite in order are: 1. Emerald, 2. Jewel, 3. Topaz.

Those 3 VSK maps were insane (2 for the # of redeemers and the 3rd just for being a flying spectator for a while).

It's good to stay inside for the first few seconds of DM-Watcher. Pimpslap and Medieval Madness are great for U4E, but not good standard DM maps. DM-FourthOrder didn't last long. O.K., enough of my stupid comments, let's play the server!

Hehe yeah those VSK maps are crazy - I love them, but I just
found out that they seem to be missing a sound package - I got
them from NC zipped, but when I got up this morning the server
had freaked looking for a package over and over... :( - thats the
same problem FourthOrder had - I allways playtest new maps,
but the problem is, that sometimes I may have a file in my ut
cache - but then later when its downloaded from the server by
somebody else it crashes... ohh well, thats just the things that
goes with running custom maps...

I will try to fix the vsk maps because I realy like them for the total
carnage and mayhem... crazy :D

Ohh by the way, you know there is a cool secret in watcher right :)

Let's try this again, I just got to the end and lost the post! Smooth move SkaarjMaster; "master of post screw ups". Anyway, this is supposed to be at the end, but I'll saw it now so I don't forget; UT subd is now 2.15 GB.

Watcher, yeh need to play again and first spawn outside to take advantage of this secret; have only first spawned inside and the bots die by the time I get outside.

VSK web site seems to be gone. Only one .umx file per map that I saw; no .uax files. 5 .utx files for Porno, 2 for Almighty, 2 for X-House. FourthOrder only has two extra files: WeyScripts2.u and CT4.utx. If any had .uax files, then I never saw them. All run fine in Practice mode on my computer. If they are missing a sound package, let me know what the file is and for which maps it belongs (great English, huh!).

Had a good game on Sapphire last night, but the lag is killing me against European players (some I should be beating, but others obviously not). Probably can't do much about this, no problem I'll deal with it. See Ya!

Peregrine, the server is in Denmark, I believe. If you get on now, it's after 3am there. Most of the people on will be in North America or insane Europeans that stay up late. One guy last night was on at 2:40am their time. When this server first started the admin was up at 5:30am. Anyway, it's also a new server and maybe not many people know about it. I liked it because he was using a lot of the custom maps I already had that were good. He's been changing a lot but still has a lot of great maps.

Do you play as Peregrine or another name?

Does it sound like I have all the files for the VSK maps? Will try getting on tonight sometime soon. See Ya!

Like the new additions of Aisha, Affinity, Alpu-TOURNEY, Brutality][, Essence, Liandri and Meldrak][. And, it was cool playing Sion for the first time against another first timer online. Even though Sion seems to be better than Amon, keep them both. Thanks.

Yeah Sion is a lot more detailed than Amon, but Sion is a bit hard
on the system - at least on my GeForce 2 Pro GTS (Soundblaster)
and I have everything turned down low - I can get around 80-90
FPS on most maps but sion gives me like 45 :(

Maybe its my system, I have also noticed that maps that uses
WOT textures kills my framerate and gives me insane lag, and
some maps just bogs my system down even if they are small
and low poly, strange....

"Hi, I Love To Kill",

Not a good openings line on a date, but just thought I'd let you know about some server problems. May have told you this already, but I got on your server last night and apparently someone left in the middle of map vote and it got stuck on DM-Awarehouse or something. I was able to fly around and see all the bots holding weapons like they respawned again or something but it wouldn't start and couldn't get another map to load. Happened around midnight eastern time. See Ya!

Hey SkaarjMaster,

Sorry about the late reply...

Thanks for telling me that, I have seen it a couple of times
before - I think it has something to do with a spike in ping
when mapvote comes up (normal) - sometimes a badly lagged
player will freak cshp out, and it kicks the player in the middle
of the mapvote - mapvote should continue after the voting
timeout, but on a rare occasion it just sits there forever...

ILTK, your server kicked me off tonight when someone joined; then I rejoined and it gave me the name,"Player1" because apparently, SkaarjMaster was still there. Is there anything you can do about this? Just happend about 5 minutes ago. Thanks.

I tried your server. As others have noted, the ping seems a little bit high. My ping is almost always around 50 on most servers - I was getting 130+ on yours. I didn't notice any lag, but I was the only human playing. I like the variation in the bots - some nali cows, for example. What level are they set at in terms of skill?

I'll have to try your server again. I normally play high-speed (135-155%) Low Grav Instagib, but sometimes i like to go back to my "roots" and play on servers with good old regular UT weapons. I think it is great that you are asking for and responding to feedback about the server. From what I've read in this thread, you've already made numerous improvements based on the feedback. Keep up the good work!

jmq, somewhere back in this post he says how fast he's running; I think 110 or 115%. The pings will be high and lag will happen (server in Denmark); but sometimes it is bearable at certain times of the day. It also can be more of a challenge to frag the bots when they have this advantage, but frustrating too!

The bot skill is posted when you enter server through UT (not direct entry of location). Also, bots skill vary between them; some are jumpy as hell, others are easy.
