I blame college(and TF2 and L4D) for my absence from the SI servers. Finals suck, especially when combined with senioritis.

Added a maplist for Season 4, its based on the experience from the gathers before and random dice roll Smile

.

Any ideas/suggestions/rants?

Hope to see you all on the next Weekly Gather!(tm)

Suggestions i got:
- change spawn invulnerability to 4
- add si_river (probably test it first as a 3rd map)
- remove si_rush

I wouldn't mind going through the custom maps, spending 5 minutes on each in game to give them an evaluation.

Settings wise yes to invulnerability 4. Keep FF on. Do we run with third person on or off?

Keep it off.

I don't mind rush.

Let's make locs for more custom maps.

I'd keep 3rd person case off and FF on. They feel better for a match environment.

Wasn't Urban still buggered?

I noticed quite a few of the regular maps that were added after .97a have messed up quick commands. like multiple areas bound to the same number.

IE:

1. Incoming top!
2. Incoming left!
2. Incoming right!
2. Incoming Sewer!

ARG!

I'm not a big fan of si_pa

Would anyone know why when I try to play any demo except mine it returns:

WARNING! Server returned protocol version 47, not 48
Demo file completely loaded.
Demo file completely loaded.
Disconnected.
Demo playback stop

Mad

The demos work with playdemo... but that doesn't really help me for recording purposes, I need viewdemo.

It can't be that the demo files arent complete or had a borked download as that works fine...

I don't get it Sad

There was an update for HL not so long ago which changed the protocol version. You can't play them with viewdemo any longer. There is no way to convert the demos as far as i know. Sucks tbh but thats that.

Oh

that's horrible!

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

but arent there other ways for making movies?

Grome · Admin Joined: 16 Jul 2005 Location: Sweden

I found a few things with google that might help. I haven't exactly tested it but:

Some "demo converter" thingy:

Someone also mentioned that Mirv Demo Tool has a demo converter built in, I have no idea:

Any new demos lately? I don't have a decent place to upload mine to anymore but I got a few from the most recent games

GuyonthecoucH · Admin Joined: 02 Apr 2002 Location: Chicago, IL

I'm sure i could upload a few.

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

perhaps we should ask bozo.
sadly i cannot provide space for more than the screenshots.

Q Branch · Employee Joined: 24 May 2003 Location: USA

I did send MrBozo a demo from last weeks 3rd map on laser for him to upload. and if anyone has the ss from the game upload that too Razz

*pokes MrBozo*

Q, I didn't receive any demo, unless it was filtered as spam.

I sent FTP info to tacco, please see with him about uploading screenshots or demos.

I uploaded last week's laser screenshot.

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

since we had this shit now on time too often here are some basic guidelines:

howto behave in a gather:
- don't leave in the middle of a match
- no spectating when the server is full
- don't whine about maps, settings or other players. if you want to discuss something this forum is the place, not the gameserver.
- while the captain sorts out the tactic LISTEN.

And most importantly keep it light and fun for everyone.

If you can't or don't want to follow this please do not join the Weekly Gathers.

While spawninvuln 4 has its upsides (laser, guppy, rigger etc), wallgaussing respawns on some maps can get pretty ridiculous

But maybe it's a question of manners :P

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

switching settings for each map is no prob, but then we would have to decide which settings to use for each map

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

had 3 really good matches today.
hirise crashed and i couldnt get a screenshot, feel free to upload or send one over.

EDIT: Rescheduled some of the upcoming maps.

Please please please please don't let Slayer play these. Or at least if you do have a spare guy speccing for when he's either chronically AFK or leaves, as he does in EVERY DAMN GAME. It's getting irritating now!

Rant over... :/

fev joke!

Q Branch · Employee Joined: 24 May 2003 Location: USA

So playing Slayer 1v1 last night I asked him why he goes afk all the time in matches and here it is...

"I get distracted by things going on around my house"

i am reluctant to go nazi on him and kick his sorry ass but it sucks hard if it ruins the game especially if others are waiting.

Tacco · Admin Joined: 06 Jan 2004

sry for my 2weeks hiatus.
but now im back and ready to receive demos/screenshots!
also i would call the next sunday gather the Season Finale of S&I Weekly Gather Season 4(tm). Dont miss it or you will never know who will win in the end!

to celebrate (and possibly ruin) the gather i propose once again stupid things we didnt do yet:
- a 10 minutes si_bcmatch.
- si_balanceteams
- maps that didnt get played this season
- etc.

and where is everyone when I get a chance to play... Would have liked to play an actual game of SI instead of lts :[

muffin · Employee Joined: 18 Jun 2006

SI gets played several nights a week around midnight EST. There's also the weekly gather at 4 EST on the laggy Euro server. Just stay logged into steam, belong to the SI group, and I'll send you a message when the shit goes down.
