RadioKnight

Well, after playing for a bit, I can say the "spirit of survival" doesnt really matter. Its supposed to be us versus the world, but I see now how easy it is with a bit of work and research to bend the world over and make it do what you want, even on hard mode.

Lets try to stop taking this so seriously and have fun together!

Of course people are going to vote yes on things being made easy, but heres something:

The other night FacePalm and I decided to go look around in the abandoned mineshafts. After some fun encounters with some poisonous spider spawners and getting completely turned around in the tunnels, we finally had to very carefully swim up a waterfall to get back out onto the surface. That experience would have been lost if we had the power to instantly teleport back home.

Ill gladly make the trip back up to get torches if I forgot them if it means preserving the feeling of adventure in Survival mode.

Not sure we need /home. Kind of goes against the spirit of the game when you can just tele out of lava.

 

Are you telling me, theres a thing that lets people just instantly teleport back home whenever they want..? If so, thats ridiculous, and really goes against the idea of Survival mode.

Oh, and Cat... umm, when I was on my way back from Chicks island I landed around your treehouse and got kind of turned around in the woods under it, and maybe cut a few branches to find my way out. I didnt actually go up to your house though, I wouldnt go in someones personal area without express permission.

Hah i got it working! Add RadioKnightX please.

So today I finally went and got Minecraft, buuuut.... I dont know if there was conflicts with the old free version I had from before that my friend had given me, but it kept logging me in as guest. Now it wont even recogize my email as valid, I tried deleting all the folders and reinstalling but its being completely uncooperative. Now I cant even log in to the account I made on the website.

Is there any way of making this work without having to format everything? Or did I just waste $30?

Just a couple things:

Seems after the 8 main slots are full !jointeam doesnt like to work, Ive bound a little comment to a key telling people to use !survivors or !infected to join.

Also, maybe better to switch the default campaign to No Mercy, which mostly works instead of Parish that crashes second map, in the meantime while things are getting worked on?

Fixed joining survivors.

 

 

Please continue to report issues/crashes so I know what needs to be fixed

LOVE YOU CRASX

Minecraft? Meh, not enough guns....

The problem with this is people will always vote for the same campaigns, over and over. Theres only limited maps, so they all have to get played sooner or later. If a certain popular campaign is played and then some players leave and new ones join, the new ones will vote for the map that was just played and the players that stayed will be forced to repeat. If there were more campaigns a votemap thing could work, but as it is now I think its a bad idea and would lead to disagreement and repetition.

When I first saw this I thought right away that the media would find some way to blame it on video games.

Aww, I had this weird feeling when the server went down and I read the patch notes that this was going to be one of THOSE updates...

No perks! This server was made on simplicity, perks just mess with the balance and flow of the game.

As for the whole Double Points thing, I dont think it wasnt as much not well received as that it went on for a bit too long. I think with the current buy system it could work out a bit better because theres actually limits on the Infected so there wouldnt be 20 Tanks or spamming 100 hunters. The problem with the system now and Double Points is the sendpoints, if the points were double a very good Survivor player could very easily carry a whole team, even easier than they can now.

Double Points weekend with no Tank limit! Weeeee, that was insane!

No. I know it doesnt seem fair, but resetting the ranks completely spits on all the time the people that have the top spots put in to get them. A separate leaderboard that goes by month would be nice, but I dont know if or how that could be set up.

Umm, I think you misunderstand Maestro, this guys server is called Zombie Island, its another 10v10 L4D2 Versus server. Not to be confused with the game Dead Island.

Oh yeah, this goes waaaaaaaaay back...

My question is, what will this do to the mods on our server? Will we have another mess like when the Sacrifice was released?

As long is it doesnt crash the server or bug out, Im all for new maps. Can always throw it on the rotation and see how it goes, its a tough run and seems to be a bit more weighted to the Infected with some pretty brutal choke points.

I vote yes.

Definitely in for the interest of trying something new with L4D2. While I dont think this will have the mass appeal of the original server, this sounds like a lot of fun for more veteran players.

Trashcan next to my desk is always overflowing with takeout coffee cups and soda cans. My wife is getting annoyed at the mess, maybe I should empty it...

So, decide its time to kill some zombies, and of course, server crashes. Its down for about 10 minutes, and afterwards, start getting " Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for L4D2. error code 2". After a bit of trying, its downloads a tiny update. Game works now, but when I try to connect to the server, I get an ingame error "please unload plugins before playing on a VAC secured server"!?

Server is up, Im validating files now to see if that changes anything. The heck did they do now!?

Used to be able to drop hordes of uncommons back when on the old !buy system, but I think someone said it crashed the server sometimes? I forget, was long ago now....

What dude are we talking about here? This one?

Or maybe this one...?

I just want to be clear here, so to avoid confusion....

Weve played Crash Course a few times, the problem is that when it ends the server gets "stuck in the cutscene" and needs to be reset to another map manually.

 

 

Yeah, but, unless the player is okay with something like that happening to them, it shouldn't really be happening so we can avoid things like this.

This is why I dont like playing around with the admin tools. Something thats done in fun can be taken the wrong way and it leads to someone getting angry, and it makes people become paranoid that the admins are messing with them.

Best to reserve the admin powers for dealing with problems.
