Alright, Grains, but this map better be great. I ran around it this morning and my main concern is spawn camping on the first point and people accidentally falling to a clumsy, painful death because it's not always obvious how easy that is to do. |

Maybe next time, Mirandous. I think this map list is already too long.
pl_cashworks used to suck and it was always a sniper lockdown right out of gate. Then I played a more recent version and it wasn't as terrible; there were actually ways around the wide-open sniper field. Maybe we'll include that and some other suggestions later, after we sort through these and figure out which ones we don't want to see on the rtv list.

Just found pl_donkeykongMario is the cart! (Click to enlarge images) Oh my God yes. It's not really as good as it seems. Usually downgrades to a sentry fest near the last point. Fun other than that, though. |

I have played Donkeykong before. Of course, it looks exciting and is a new concept, but it has serious problems which have already been mentioned. Demomen and Engineers are highly overrepresented and it turns out to not be very fun if you're actually working on pushing the cart. Snipers fight each other and Demomen, Engineers build to block the ladders, Spies try to take on the Engineers, and one Heavy-Medic team might exist to try and uber up the ladder. I set my record for most points as an Engineer on this map, and it was my first or second time playing it and my sentry spot wasn't particularly good (my Spybane skills were, though).
These maps are all uploaded to the server right now, meaning the server can play them whenever we want. They are not yet on the download server, meaning you can't even attempt to download them from us; you will lose your connection if you do not have the custom map. If anyone has seen Enigma, please direct him to me, as he is the only one with access to the download server.

Enigma is uploading the maps to the download server. That process takes some time and he's been having computer troubles of his own.
(in other news, my replacement graphics card is on the way!)
As soon as I hear they've all been uploaded, the new maps will be added to the nominate list.

All the new maps should appear on the maplist for admins.
All maps on the server with a couple exceptions (like achievement boxes) should now appear on the list when you type 'nominate'.
Some maps have been added to the rtv list, the list from which maps are taken if enough maps were not nominated, including the new official maps from the classless update.

Matt_bagels would be very pleased if cp_bestinclass_v2 were added to the list. As far as I can tell the server never plays it, but yesterday somehow it got nominated. It was amazing. It is now my favorite map ever. After playing it again this morning, I was sad to see that it was suddenly removed from the nominate list. I feel like something very important of mine has been stolen. So if it could be added to the list I would very much appreciate it. :3 And if not I will be searching for other servers that run it. Edit: (in other news, my replacement graphics card is on the way!)
:O WHAT KIND? |

:O WHAT KIND? Sorry, I didn't know that this was going to be a big deal. We have one file that lists all the maps on the server (you can find a copy on the forums). We have another file that lists all the maps that appear on the 'nominate' list. In rebuilding the second file, I just copied the first and deleted a few maps. The maps I removed were ones I felt that the server should not play without an admin present. These are maps that are hard or impossible to 'win,' trapping the server on them without an admin to change the map. All the maps on the maplist but not on the 'nominate' list are still on the server, but you need an admin to bring up votes for them. They are maps like the achievement boxes, bestinclass, skyscraper, and maybe one or two others. I can put bestinclass back on the nominate list if people really want. There are several admins and any of them can change the map while they're playing, so it's not like the server lost this map. My graphics card was a Nvidia 8800 GT from EVGA. My replacement should be here on Thursday. I will be hitting refresh on the little UPS tracker in the meantime. |

My replacement should be here on Thursday. I will be hitting refresh on the little UPS tracker in the meantime. Can't blame you, lol. It's one of those maps people either hate or love, since it's so different. Saw that on the server too, some people enjoyed the hell out of it, some people were aching to switch maps. I dunno. I'd like back on the nominate list, makes it a lot easier IMO. Although I'd understand if you don't want to. I'd really like to see more variety maps on the server though, I get kinda bored just playing the stock maps and cranetop. Though Lumberyard is another favorite of mine. I really like maps that present an individual challenge (like bestinclass) instead of the run of the mill push map. Do you know if any of the other maps on the server are like this? How come you need a replacement card? What happened to it? I have the same one, just from PNY I believe. |

My GPU stopped talking to my CPU, crashing my system (or at least the program) whenever I tried to run something that needed graphics. I could work with the GPU disabled or uninstalled, but then I could only run simple programs like GameTable (GameTable crashed my system when I had the GPU on because I dragged the playing field and it wouldn't re-render). The problem started in DDO with total crashes and some weird artifacts in TF2. It was not a gradual problem; my GPU had never had the slightest thing wrong with it before this month. It wasn't damaged or burned in any way visible to me.
We have a ton of new, custom maps now, so try to get the server playing those. I don't even remember what some of them are now - I just tested them for many a few minutes a piece back when I was compiling the list. It's kind of obscenely long, heh. Then there are maps from the the February and March map packs that haven't been touched in months.

freight is pretty much awesome, also nice choice on the 8800gt. that's what I have :>
also best in class is kindof boring after you've played it once or twice. I'd like to see more random jump maps in the future though.
