CTF1.QUAKE.IE ANNOUNCEMENT

Cloud

We have had some positive reports from [CW] Blade about the UKCTF mod
being used on the UK Barrysworld servers, so have decided to try it out at
quake.ie.

This allows level voting and other features.

So get your Threewave CTF client and connect to ctf1.quake.ie now!

It is possible to switch between 3 or 4 different modes with this mod,
will see which is most popular before long.

Enjoy...

P.S. quake.ie server list updated.

Okay CTF people, I need a sequence of levels
to run on the ctf1.quake.ie server.

Using impulse 70 I think, you can vote for the
next level in the sequence, so if we get a
good series of levels together we should be
sorted.

At the moment we have:

localinfo ctf2m1 ctf2m8
localinfo ctf2m8 ctf2m2
localinfo ctf2m2 ctf2m7
localinfo ctf2m7 ctf2m5
localinfo ctf2m5 ctf2m4
localinfo ctf2m4 ctf2m7
localinfo ctf2m7 ctf2m1

Changes?

: localinfo ctf2m1 ctf2m8

: localinfo ctf2m7 ctf2m5
: localinfo ctf2m5 ctf2m4
: localinfo ctf2m4 ctf2m7
: localinfo ctf2m7 ctf2m1

Are these the only levels?

I like to play the regular id levels but with ctf stuff in them. Yes they can be unbalanced but thats the fun.

Okay well here's a few of the features. Sounds amazing.

From the documentation -

* ADDED * Time left in matches is now reported every minute
instead of in the last 5. Also the current team scores are
reported (including dropped points where appropriate).

* ADDED * Spectators now have a lots more impulse commands
including an improved QW track cam and the option to auto track
the flag carriers etc...

impulse 1 goto spawn point
impulse 2 cycle between flag base locations
impulse 3 cycle between flag current locations
impulse 4 track Red flag carrier
impulse 5 track Blue flag carrier
impulse 6 track player
impulse 7 change viewpoint
impulse 8 toggle status bar
impulse 9 stop tracking
impulse 10 free look toggle

** UKCTF Major Changes Over Standard Threewave CTF4.21 **

1) QUAD & 666 glow Blue & Red respectively for GL users. So
do flags when in their bases.

2) 3 topcolor options. None, No crossdressing and "Yellow Jersey"

3) Lots more bug fixes and optimizations on top of the server
CPU and Bandwidth reducing modifications. The original author
of the code I based the RB section on said modem users could
see up to a 20% improvent in pings and I don't disbelieve him
(well, now with my added additions I do

More...

** UKCTF Major Changes Over Standard Threewave CTF4.21 **

4) Better team assignment. Now uses the current team scores
to allocate players to a team upto a maximum of 2 more than
the opposition if scores are very one sided.

5) More efficient death and CTF messages to reduced bandwidth and
increase easy readability. Also includes more deaths from
Quad attackers.

6) Level changes can now be voted for if a majority of players are
in favour (can also be disabled). Vote using impulse 100.
Also players are disconnected from server if they stay dead for
5 minutes.

7) Now added default action to ban use of the FAQ-PROXY special
options on a server running this mod ie what most people would
call stopping cheats!

** Options for clan matches **

1) UKCTFL skins cycling. Use impulse 166 to cycle through
available skins. (Not available in Midnight mode)

2) Dropped frags due to player disconnections or timeouts can
be included in the final team scores.

3) Option of a prematch time were all players are locked in
position and unable to move. Gives everyone a fair start and
time to set there skins if required.

Hey we can have e3m6 if people want, I just want
to get a list of favourite levels so we can get
ctf1.quake.ie to cycle through them. The ctf2mx
levels are cool though, check out ctf2m2, it's
great!

I disagree. We played all the CTFX and CTF2mX
levels over a lan one summer, and every level
is evenly balanced (imo). There are some that
*seem* unequall, you just gotta adjust
your strategy.

Oh, welcome back me. holiday was great, blah
blah blah. Nice to see nothing actually happened
while I was away basking in the sun.

He was on about _id_ levels, not ctfx.

: P.S. quake.ie server list updated.

Cloud - please please please install VWep! It adds
sooooo much to Q2 gameplay, in CTF especially.

Now that Q2 v3.15 handles VWep tranparently, there
won't be any problems/artifacts caused people not
having the client side pak file.

Go 'wan!
Teeth.

Okay I have enabled it on q2ffa1, q2duel1.

On q2war1, trying to find out how to put in
a "sv ..." command into a config, any ideas
anyone?

On q2ctf1, how do I enable it by default?
I don't know if it's part of the CTF mod
or not...

Laters!

Zoid said:

: I'll have new the CTF with 3.15 changes (Vwep support, banning, etc) and
: The CTF tournament mode done soon as well.

k no VWep on q2ctf1 for now so, will try and
enable that on q2war1 again later.
