A NBR Team Fortress 2 Server.....

Yeah sorry vicious, you should be able to get back in.

It was at the end of a game, i was getting out of the admin console after looking at something, then everythign lagged and next thing youre kicked!! Sorry, i felt really bad about it.

 

no NBR members are on right now. at least none with tags...

 

cool, lemme try out the new laptop..

{*>:RaT:<*} is my game id

 

I counted 11 NBR members on at once. The problem is that most of the NBR guys dont have tags, and/or dont speak up. I counted that number from the NBR steam group of how many players were in the server from that group.

 

TF2 and CS:S wont connect to servers!

CS:S has a little screen that comes out that says the latency is 2000+,

TF2 says all servers wont respond..

 

Saw you there! I might have killed you a few times too

 

Haha, server is not doing too bad, it's 11:30pm pst and there's about 20 ppl still. Too bad I can't play right now though. >.>

 

Hey yoyo, can you add me to the first post?
[NBR] crash

 

Back from work its 4am now most of you are in bed probably. Next week I'll have to try again and hopefully will not have any interruptions. it wont hurt for me to try to get some practice too as I did pretty bad not knowing any of the stages and my mouse movement needs tweaked it was way to linear.

Got to get my headset setup too. Looks like there is a update for Heavy on the way as well!

 

Alright, for the people on the west coast, I think I'll make the times for, just like it is now, every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 9:00PM PST. However, since there's a group that has accumulated together, and I'm sure that there's not more than 24 NBR people that will be playing at anyone time as of yet, it would be good just to assimilate into playing tf with the people in the EST time zone.

This way, it'll stay simple and be stuck with a schedule. Since I know everyone is busy (I know I am) People can come at any time. Also, if on Friday's and Saturdays, if we can get people from the EST and PST time zones to play together, along with you central and mountain time zone people, then we can have a pretty good match with us NBR people and random people from the internets.

I recommend for match play on Saturday at least to have it so that everyone can come at a decent time, so if you guys can and will, can you post what times you will be free and in what time zone, it would be appreciated in the sense that we can better "schedule" these events. Or at least for bigger events in the future.
P.S.This was written late at night so excuse for anything that sounds really odd or just grammatically incorrect.

Oh Rusch, has this always been a problem?

 

Well, why don't we say, at 8:30, admins (me, forerunner and unkn) go in and get the place ready, check for lags etc, a couple people join.

At 9, the first event starts, lots more people will start joining.

At 10, that's when central and mountain start joining. (8 and 9 for yall)

At 10:30, pacific can try to join. (7:30 for yall)

Of course, if you can join earlier, that'd be great. Then we carry on playing until people drop out.

PLEASE COULD EVERYONE ADD [NBR] TO THEIR NAME!

I'd like to see a game that's solely [NBR] people!

game on folks!

 

I'll add the tag when I'm in the game

also for anyone who wants to do the same type this into the console "setinfo name [NBR]namehere" without the quotes

 

lol..no you didn't.. you killed me alot of times

ii guess it takes awhile adjusting to playing on a laptop.

 

i think you guys are planning this way too much, why not just start it up whenever there are a few of you on? Im sure you all have each other on steam so just whenever there is like 4 of you on try to start it up instead of planning it for certain nights only.

well, dont get me wrong though still plan some nights but by the looks of it nobody will try starting the server if it hasnt been planned ahead of time. The server will never take off if you only play on wednesdays, fridays and saturdays.

sounds too competitive for a bunch of people just going on to have fun :/

 

Well, people always have different schedules. If there's a time we know others will get on, i'm going going to get on. Otherwise i won't even check.....

It's not hard to plan it. If we have scheduled times, we can all play together, it's a lot easier than starting it up by yourselves.

And we won't ONLY play on wed, sat, and friday. Those are just scheduled games. Forerunner, unkn and I play with random peeps all the time!

 

Ya since it is my History every time I go to play a game I check the server to see if anyone is in it, and if so I go there.

 

Well, it was a fun time last night yall!!! I also got to kick three idiots.... lol.

If yall ever see anyone like those three [A2M] idiots, please contact me, forerunner or unkn so we can get in and sort them out. I kicked them because of their disrespect for other players and most importantly, me an admin.

It was possible they were hacking, but that was my motive for kicking them. But I think they probably were.

Anyways, I still had a great time!

 

What is a good screen resolution to use from the ones available in TF2? I dont want to use the highest, but I do want to use one that is meant for a wide screen display like the one my dv5t has.

Im not sure which resolutions are for wide displays. :/

If anyone wants to add me up, SteamID is Chiss1.

 

underneath the dropdown menu for screen res there should be another regarding resolution type. Select widescreen 16:9 or 16:10.

What is the display resolution on your laptop currently? Why not just use this resolution

 

1608x1050

Highest in game is 1440x1050 I believe. Game doesn't run to smooth with that res.

 

TF2, and all source games support all resolutions that your desktop can support, and then some, such as custom resolutions like 3000x600, if you can't run natively then I can help with that if this is your problem.

If the game simply doesn't perform well in your native resolution.. well then I don't really know since your notebook should be able to handle it maxed out nicely. Make sure anti-aliasing is off though.

 

I run pretty maxxed out (i think it's maxed, maybe AA or something off, idk) with a 1680x1050 rest.

Nice to see you got your problem fixed rusch.

 

Yea, 1680x1050 is not available. :/..

1440x1050 only.

 

If you want to try your native resolution, do this.

On your games list on steam, right click TF2, click properties, then click set lanch options, then copy and paste this into the space and press OK,

-h 1050 -w 1680


Or if you know what your doing, you can create custom resolutions like this


(btw, what aspect ratio would that be? 16/2?)

 

Alright, I figured it out.

Don't know what the issue was, it just now came as an option...

So, I am running 1680x1050. Most stuff on High, no AA. Runs nice. Only bad thing is my laptop gets HOT.

EDIT: Just found this. Not sure if its been posted.

For you TF2 and Dark Knight fans.

 

lol the video was kinda cheesy...worst part was the knife/pencil trick lol

 

Haha, pretty cheesy, ooh, i did find this on a forum though, best pic imo ever that has to do with dark night and TF 2. Ever

Amazing stuff right there.

Meet the Sandvich!!!

http://steamgames.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=5073


w00t heavy update!!

 

Heavy update is out ! I just reset and updated the server, so if you guys want to come on and check it out tonight it'll be ready

Oh, and please, no more than a few heavies per team, 12vs12 heavies would be rediculous!

 

I'll probably be on it tonight around 9:00 PST!

 

I will be coming on in a second!

 

New maps suck, heavy achievements rock!

 

I was on earlier and it was just about all heavies. I really don't play heavy that much, but it was still fun.

 

Spy has become so much easier since all you gotta do is disguise as a heavy, lol.

 

I agree, I don't like the new maps. But maybe over time I'll like them...

Haha yea there were a lot of heavies playing today. I think I'll go spy next time and do just that

 

The new maps are alright, the new PL map isn't nearly as good as goldrush, but it's still a very fun map to play on. The new lumbermill, mountains themed map is very nice, I'm waiting to see a PL map using that style/theme.

The sandvich is surprizingly useful to me, I don't have any of the other weapons unlocked though.

 

I only played with the heavy for about 30 minutes today, so I don't have anything unlocked yet. I think I got two or three achievements though... they don't seem to hard to get since most of them seem to involve medics, which are already heavily paired with heavies.

 

I just picked up the game and installed it last night but didn't get a chance to try it out. Where is a good place to practice so I don't hinder my team too much in real action?

 

You won't hinder your team too much, this ain't like COD4 or BF2. Just get into the game!

 

Don't worry about it, just look for some goldrush or dustbowl 24/7 maps and play things like pyro, heavy, demo...medic but understand the premise of the "uber" w/ the medic.

 

Most places it is just a fragfest.

Yeah except Heavies pretty much shoot everything in sight.

I thought the pl map played nicely. I haven't gotten a chance to play the others.

 

play on the nbr server, nobody could even kill me there in a whole round

 

Updated players list.

Fittersman I don't have you, steam id?

 

That's a bit disappointing to hear. Either you are quite a bit better or a lot of people just got into the game. I'll see the skill level for myself once I get to it later in September. Will be glad to try out all the new updates since I haven't touched it this summer...

 

i dont know my steam id, never really found it before (and im at work now) but i probably wont be on that server much so dont worry about it

and i like to think this one

 

Im all alone with my tag . -DTR- Halfhalo FTW!

 

I think natascha would be pretty good for spy checks, even one bullet is gonna knockback the spy and make them easy to spot (while also disrupting their melee attacks and sapping).

Any thought of making it a funserver on certain days? Like once a week just do silly stuff like change the gravity, turn on friendly fire, raise the overheal cap, reverse the direction of knockback (only ever found one server with this, and it was a blast!), up the crit rates, whatever you can think of!

 

yeah... spy better get some serious updates because all these new updates keep making it harder and harder..

- medics new gun, if he hit a spy he would gain hp (and know who he shot was a spy then)
- they increased the time it takes to cloak again after a stab
- the backburner kills a spy in a second (spies have their backs turned to the enemy team most of the time)
- now natascha?!?!

 

The thing I don't like about spies though is they are such a pain in the *** when I play medic/engineer and my whole team pretty much refuses to notice spies or attempt spy checks. Spies are balanced entirely by the teamwork of the team they are fighting, which frankly sucks since it's generally pretty random how well your team will help you fight spies (and conversely how well the enemy team will work together to counter you when you play a spy).

Unfortunately, there's no real way to fix this, and it does apply to all the classes (mostly engineer and medic) and any team based game of course, but the difference between TF2 and other team games is how big the effect is. And I don't see a practical way with my play schedule to actually plan who my teammates will be.
