Official TBA TF2 Server

[Stu4U]

i remember this mario kart map from years ago that was pretty popular back in the day despite how stupid it was. it might be the one in blu's screenshot here

does anyone else remember it? cuz id love to have this one added to the mapvote list so we can do stupid shit in it like protochaud's map.



i don't really remember the exact name but if you google tf2 mario kart map its the first one to show up in images.

there's a new-ish version called dm_mariokart3_v1

it's quite large for a tf2 map (~70mb) but now i have a download server set up so it should download as fast as your dl speed can go

added you to reserved slot

experimenting with ultimate-mapchooser extension instead of tf2's esc menu mapvote. here's how it should work (i haven't got a chance to really test it yet):
during a match, say !nominate and pick a map from the groups that you'd like to be in the vote pool
when there are 6 minutes left in a map, the following vote options should be available to everyone:

• the nominated maps
  
• 2 random CP maps and 1 random CTF, KOTH and PL or PLR map
  
• the option to extend the current map (for 15 minutes)
  
• the option not to change the current map
  

again this is what it should be doing based on how i've set it up, but there's no real way to debug or test it without actually playing a few rounds, so let me know how it's actually behaving and we'll go from there.

if it ends up being annoying or not as good as the built-in tf2 thing then i'll change it. but i wanted to try UMC because it has a lot more options and doesn't require an escape menu to function.

if you have any other ideas for how mapvotes should function i'm all ears. sadly i can't add RTV because it doesn't compile anymore.

also, you can still vote to kick or scramble teams from the escape menu

i've been playing with the ultimate mapchooser and i noticed there's no way to add any arena maps to the vote

fixed, same for community maps, territory control and special delivery

melee mode has also been added. only admins and VIPs can call for a !votemelee

[rtil]

added roll the dice. say rtd in chat during a round to get a chance at receiving a buff. but there is a risk - you have a chance to receive a debuff as well. pubs get a 40% chance to receive a buff, VIPs and admins get 50%. effects last for 15 seconds

Good Effects:

• godmode - Invulnerability to bullets, falling, and map traps.
  
• toxic - Your horrible breath kills anyone near you.
  
• lucky sandvich - An instant health boost and the next shot will be a crit. Good luck!

• crits - Constant crits without the requirement of hacks!
  
• infinite ammo - No need to reload - we've got you covered!
  
• scary bullets - Any players you hurt become scared like tiny babies.
  
• instant sentry - Point at a spot and call for a medic to spawn a sentry.
  
• homing projectiles - Rockets/arrows/flares will fly at enemies to save the bother the aiming.
  
• instant charge - Your sniper rifle and bow charge up instantly.
  
• dispenser pop-up - Point at a spot and call for a medic to spawn a dispenser. Stays after the effect has ended.
  
• infinite double jump - The scout is no longer limited by 2 or 3 jumps.
  
• tiny player - You have shrunk! Use this advantage to sneak past the enemy.

Bad Effects:

• explode - Sorry, you exploded where you stood. Just bad luck.
  
• snail - Your move speed is slowed. Might win in a race against a cozy camper sniper.

this should be interesting

i should also mention it's not really spammable - every team can use rtd only once every 2 minutes

wait, each TEAM can only use it every 2 minutes? so if someone else on your team uses rtd, you gotta wait another 2 minutes?

yes

i can lower the delay, but i don't think setting it to each person is a good idea or there will be too much randomness happening

yeah, that's true, i guess let's see how it goes at 2 minutes/team

[rtil]

actually i just realized i have a different mode on. it's called legacy mode, where only one person can roll the dice at a time. the cooldown is 2 minutes per player. but it seemed ok for today so i'll just leave it for now.

also admins/VIPs please don't abuse !votemap too much - if the players don't want to !rtv then they want to keep playing on the map. changing the map too much, especially to a custom map that needs to be downloaded, is a way to kill off the server pop really quick.

[slack]

is there a way to modify the !nominate thing so you can nominate maps that were recently played?

or maybe change how many unique maps must be played before you can nominate a certain map?

[rtil]

it's currently set to exclude the last 3 recently played maps. i figured with a map pool as big as we have that it wouldn't be an issue. what would you prefer it be set to

[slack]

well as the server is empty most of the time, the "last 3 maps" are basically the last maps people played from the night before

[rtil]

that doesn't answer my question but i'll just set it to 1 instead of 3 then

prophunt is installed

any map starting with "ph" is a prophunt map, you'll find it at the end of the maplist

there are some minor bugs but nothing gamebreaking

also if you're a prop, left click when you're done hiding to go into "lock" mode, you can move your camera around to look without moving your prop

[slack]

i just checked out the maplist, and holy shit there's a lot of prophunt maps

[rtil]

there's actually even more, but i didn't add them because they are prepended with "arena" and i didn't want to confuse prophunt maps with arena maps

[slack]

i had no idea there were so many prophunt maps
