You mean that terrible birthday cake map? Yeah, we'll probably never vote that one in again.

Not to rag on the JB team but I don't think giant room maps have ever resonated well with the FragBU community.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

It's not really the "giant room" that makes it bad, though. The idea is okay but the map is just not good.

 

[Mclogenog]

I'll try joining tonight. Fun stuff.

 

[Nereid]

So is it

FragBU: Friday September 4th, Saturday September 5th, Sunday September 6th​

or is it

FragBU: Friday September 4th, Saturday September 5th, Monday September 7th​

?

 

[JohnDoe641]

I was undecided and left it open to interpretation.

Edit:

I set it for four days so FragBU is extended until Monday. D:

 

[Nereid]

Also I'll likely play tonight. :0

I was impressed with the attendance yesterday. Make sure you get CBP3v4 and HOLP3v1 on the server for next week. D:

Or maybe even Monday, since Sunday is off.

The birthday map has some creative ideas, but it suffers from really low fps and a severe lack of cover and z-axis unless you take the time to climb all over the boxes which isn't worth it if you don't force the translocator. Don't hate on it too much, I mean its pretty obvious a good deal of work went into it, it just didn't pan out.

We do have one other giant size map, though it's a remake of a UT99 classic and it's got a more complex layout.

Jailbreak brings all the boys to the 'yard.

Unfortunately can't play tonight. Stupid me decided to see if Daniel_K's latest Creative driver pack fixed UT3's crashing of my computer with his last pack. It did not and UT3 once again can no longer find UT3.exe for some stupid reason (does Win7 block access to apps if they cause two BSODs in a row?), which is what happened last time. So now I wait for Steam to finish downloading in hopes it's something stupid like OpenAL causing the problem.

EDIT: Problem fixed. Crash corrupted the UTEngine.ini file in My Documents. Delete, run UT, works fine even with OpenAL enabled.

Thanks, I wasn't able to come due to going to see Gamer with some friends.

Speaking of Jailbreak

I logged in, but none were there at the moment.

Say, is this server online all the time or just on weekends?

What kind of machine is running this and what kind of connection does it have to the internet?

 

[Alhanalem]

it seems to be running all the time (but i could be wrong). and as far as servers go, it seems like quite a nice one. My ping there is great personally, so it must be east coast US.

 

[JohnDoe641]

The server runs all the time.

For some reason I'm getting a package mismatch on JailbreakUI. This is after installing JB via the Windows installer, and then letting the server push JailbreakUI onto my system.

I'll try uninstalling JB and re-installing it, but this is really weird considering there's only one version that I'm aware of.

 

[Alhanalem]

did you try deleting JailbreakUI? (I assume that's how you got it to serve the file)

 

[Sir_Brizz]

I didn't change my installation and it still made me download JailbreakUI.

 

[zynthetic]

I didn't change my installation and it still made me download JailbreakUI.

Likewise, and I just installed JB.
