Server

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Would anyone play if we had our own server again? Could we pull any traffic? Suggestions? Mods?

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

I would play more if everyone played, i miss cs days.....

Agree with Mav, I play a couple times a week. Usually if im killing time before doing something else. Mods? Auto respawn is nice for fast pace, gun game mod where both teams have to level up thru all the guns is fun, if u get knifed u lose a level and so forth. Be nice to have a set day every month in advance to try to see some old faces again.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

I would play - I have grown to love the DM and Team DM mods though. It's better for my ever shortening attention span - HA!

It's no fun when I'm not playing w/ my buds!

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

I haven't been gaming in while, and don't really have a favorite atm. So why not?

So Toby, whats the story on a server, I know we've had issues over the last year or 2 with access to bandwidth and so on. Can you still hook us up with a place to play?

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

We can "hook" everyone up with a place to play. I was just checking to see that if we did, would there be any interest. I've played a little CSS recently, even though I suck pretty bad, it was fun.

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

If this happens. A suggestion, vote map should happen before every map change, nothing worse then playing with a few folks and it changes to a crappy map nobody wants to play=sever killer.

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

ZOMBIES!

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

I was actually thinking CSS as the actual mod with plugins :)

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

Dont mind me, I just got a little excited.

[LA_MERC_goose]

CS:S reloaded!

Need a buy script though ... trying to do this crap manually sucks ass!

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

LOL Goose's feathers get all screwed up punching buttons.

Monkey Mashing Buttons!

It has been fun playing with ya T4rg3T. Do it up and I am in. I can prolly drag a few guys into it nightly if we produce numbers.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Not bad... BTW, I would ping it, but my Main machine at the house is down at the moment due to remodeling the den, Of course I could ping it with my laptop on a Wireless WAN connection... but that might not be what your really looking for :stick

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Does it show up in a server list? I still have a ways to go before it will be ready.

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

Toby, I cant add it to favorites or get to it from the main server list. Maybe r00k knows something I dont.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I added it to favs and it listed it as LaMerc's Counter Strike Source Server.

I also ran around in it tonight for a few minutes. Let me know when she is fully ready to go.

I will also request admin if possible. I will be there most nights

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Its getting there but it's been a few years since I've done this so thanks for being patient.

I'll start needing steam id's from potential admins. Right now, this will be restricted to clan members only so pm me your steam id if you are interested.

[LA_MERC_RiverRat]

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to playing with y'all again!!!

Check ur PM Toby...

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I think I officially got teh first kill of a non-bot on the server!

RiverRat would have the second.

thee_rook reporting

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Initial setup should be completed. We will need a maps thread for maps suggestions and plugin thread for suggested plugins. I can duplicate this install for gungame mod and others if wanted.

Please provide feedback as far as server performance.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I thought it ran great earlier today. Loaded with guys may be different.

BTW a little late, Thanks T4rg3T for the work on this.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Fun times tonight with all-talk on and T4rg3T getting the rust knocked off. Deadly with the AK and fiveseven.

Kamaro
T4rg3T
thee_rook
and 3 or 4 pubbers

[LA_MERC_Spark]

hey!!! I want in on this action!!

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Do it up. I had a Drax sighting also. Some 4ssh4t decided to AWP Drax then talk mad shiz. Drax bought an AWP and it ended. LOL.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

I need to get that restriction plugin working.. Maybe I need to start over from scratch

Also, we needs a stats program but they are far and few between for steam :(

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Was all talk still on? I couldn't change it in the admin mod after you voted it on.. lol

Ok, hopefully the restriction plugin is working properly. Seemed to be a config issue. Please let me know if it is not working properly.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

No alltalk was not on. I voted for it again and turned it back on. The same guy that was being an asshat chilled out a bit when I turned it on. I let him know we were still just working some of the bugs out, but he seemed happy with the play speed and latency.

I had to restart the server to turn alltalk back off.. lol

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Can I manually turn it on/off with out the vote?

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

No, I tried..

[the noxious]

Well, now I have a good reason to finally re-install CS:S! nice.

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Yep.. you do, :), now find the server and pub it up, send out a few invites before you jump in through steam to try and bring in a few player. Then Awp it up one side and down the other :)

[LA_MERC_goose]

I'm going to ban the first person who kills me with an AWP, and then I'm going to kick every one from then on.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

Awps are restricted but I'll scout you just the same muwhahaha

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Shooting a Goose with a Scout is priceless. :p

[LA_MERC_sLingbLade]

Anyone have a night of the week the works well to get a bunch of us on? I bounced in when I saw r00ks be in server in 30mins shoutbox post (lies btw). Be nice to have a set night and flood the server with mercness.

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

I try to jump in each night. Especially if we are trying to get traffic back up. At one time we had 7 or 8 guys tonight. I think we can get good people if we are consistent and diligent.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

We had a pretty decent time last night and as rook said, we got up to 8 people which a couple were cool and others, not so much.. lol
