    Yeah I was going to get another server. I have two already, but was looking to replace one so I figured this would be a good opportunity.

    I can't play tonight as I am not at my house, for sure next time.

    Yeah nothing with the server itself. Just the TF2 settings. Like the map time, and map rounds. Nothing serious that can't be fixed.

    Again thanks alot for the server unknown. + Rep and you have my gratitude.

    Ill post the ip and your server info on the nbr page in steam group.

    cool, and unfortunately.. I can't change spawn times..

    At most we can change the map round times, the limit on how many times the teams switch after each game, and how many points it takes to win.

    Certain things, such as making the server have more than 24 players max, or making the spawn times any different at all would make the server fall under the "Custom" servers, and it would no longer show up in the main server browser, so no one would join other than people here.

    I do like that since about 15 minutes after we started, the server hit max players of 24, and it's been at max even up to now, it's still at 24 players. (or around there) .


    Lastly, Thanks to all of you people here who joined and made this a great instant success!

    How did it go last night? Couldn't make it as i'm waiting for my laptops ac adapter to ship to me.

    Also, will the server be an ongoing thing? Or are we going to have scheduled NBR games?

    W/ respect to respawn times, tf2 is a team game, not a deathmatch frag-fest. I know it seems kinda long sometimes, but it's by design. As the defenders, RED spawn times are longer b/c you SHOULD die less... easier to defend than attack. faster BLU respawn times gives the attacker a better chance at victory.

    yes, the server will stay up 24/7. If you want to contact an admin about troublesome players, contact me or unknown.

    I played on it this afternoon. The server is awesome! I used the name Maier, I am too lazy to change it to Pai, especially that I have Friend's network and in game overlay disabled. ;P

    I thought that there was no knowing from NBR in there yesterday and then I realized I don't even use the same name on here as my Steam ID. Then I felt stupid.

    The server connection was great when we all played yesterday, but as of now, there's no one in it, haha. Word must get out!

    EDIT: Oh yeah, let's set up another date so people can be more ready ahead of time to play, the last one was kinda just sprung up and many NBR people were busy if I recall correctly.

    haha.. hey, the server was full at 24 players for several hours today.

    And when we just went in there about an hour ago , it started filling up pretty fast until you guys said you had to leave. All in all, I think it fills up pretty fast, especially during the day, and not 11pm at night (or 2am for east coasters).

    It's fun playing with you guys though, and I'm absolutely sure that if people keep joining every day, then this server will be going for quite awhile.

    As long as people are playing on it, and enjoying it, I'll keep it running :D

    check out this site, i believe there is a mod here that allows you to bypass the custom filter (that way making it more fun but still having it under the main tab)

    Server is already running MANI, but I'll do some closed tests of bettlesmod in a few minutes, if it truely can increase max players, or edit other crucial settings without putting the server under the custom list, then I'll switch it over in the main server. I definately don't think that 24 players is enough. mabe 32, or higher even, but not 24.

    Server now runs beetlesmod, I've done some editing to the CFG's and like what I see so far.

    And as you can see it works great :D

    (note: this is just me messing around with the new mod, the server won't actually be spammed with NBR logo's :) )

    another thing that might help this thing be more successful is if the first post is edited to have the IP and stuff.

    if theres anything else you need, i got a friend who knows a lot about this kind of stuff. I can ask him some questions (but not too many, so choose wisely :p)

    ill have to drop by the server sometime when there are some poeple in it.

    o, and i wouldnt recommend going any higher than 32 players, after that it just becomes too much. Not sure how much you have looked into this beetlesmod or how complex it is, but were you able to shorten the spawn times? I would vote for a static 10-12 second spawn timer for everyone

    I actually enjoy the ingame spawn timer because blu gets a shorter, since they're attacking (depending on the lvl) and red get's a longer because they should theoretically not die often as they are defending. (again depends on the level though)

    Lol, unknown, that was great, people started joining when we were just trying to see if the logo thing would work.

    yea.. and it was 2:30am

    I was also just about to say that myself though, the spawn timers are well thought out, and are different depending on the map, player class, and team. Such as in Goldrush, the defending team takes twice as long to spawn, which gives the attacking team more time to get the kart moving.

    I was [NBR] TheDynamicOne, I was just responding to chipmoney's statement that no NBR members were on the server yesterday.

    Hey everyone!

    NBR now also has a CS:Source server. Well it's not exactly ours, but all the NBR people have been playing on it. Unknown, is it possible to change the name on the source server?? The Forerunner, me unknown, hitman, easy and others have been playing on it. It's a lot of fun!
