@TimStone for PPT just use the "open menu" key.

I'm not aware of any game using it.

Tim Stone

Hmm

Powerlord

00:17

So I guess I do need to test those maps.

And I should install MetaMod/SourceMod and the map voting plugin too, just for shiggles.

2 hours later…

Powerlord

02:36

I must be bored, I'm referencing a bunch of HL2 sounds in this map vote plugin configuration.

The one I was using assumed you were playing TF2 and most of its sounds were missing because of it.

KronoS

Anybody that up to playin right now I've got nothing to do for a little while...

is waiting for a RAID5 to rebuild

Powerlord

Oh blah, the server install doesn't include these sounds even though they're in the client shared sounds? >:/

1 hour later…

Powerlord

04:07

Got the mapvote stuff working, but I'm not convinced I like the way it works on HL2DM... you have to hit escape to get the menu for it.

In TF2, the menu just pops up while you're playing.

Oh, that's a SourceMod vote setting... no wonder it defaults to not displaying; it looks terrible in some games.

Powerlord

05:07

Good thing I went through those maps... 4 of them had problems of one sort or another.

8 hours later…

C. Ross

13:16

@Powerlord thanks for doing all the hard work

4 hours later…

Wil

17:14

@powerlord did you put any special maps on or are we just going to use the default ones? (IMHO, they are good enough!)

badp

Can't join you guys today, have fun!

Wil

shame :( I don't think many people are going to come... I think it should be a monthly (or even less often) thing :S

Ivo Flipse

is anyone using Vent yet?

Wil

Do we need it? Its alright for big games where you are on one team and don't want others to hear, but in FFA, surely in game chat works?

badp

It's just a snafu for this week for me

user30

17:22

@Ivo I will be in twenty minutes or so

Wil

no problem :( I have a lot of work on as well... I am only going to join in briefly

Ivo Flipse

no I was just wondering @Wil

can't voice chat with my GF around anyway

Wil

well, if you have a microphone, you only need to press K!

(I think it is)

Tim Stone

@badp Excuses! But no, that sucks, good luck sorting everything out.

Powerlord

@Wil I did put on some new ones... it should automatically download them if they come up, although that could be a problem if anyone has a low bandwidth cap.

Wil

17:30

oh well, fingers crossed it all works, and thanks again for everything you are doing!

Powerlord

You'll be able to tell which ones those are in the end of map voting thing because they'll have (Custom) after their name.

user30

17:49

So Vent or ingame?

Wil

18:23

20 minutes, thats me done - I was terrible like last week, but still had fun!

Tim Stone

Oh wait, we were playing? >_>

Ivo Flipse

yeah, check the sidebar

Powerlord

So, yeah, that sucked.

TomWij

Meh, everyone left because of me...

Dunno how to change my name, and that map was way too big and got boring once one knew where the rocket launcher is hidden... :-(

Ivo Flipse

I enjoyed myself

but being stuck with just you guys is less fun :P

Powerlord

18:35

@TomWij I'll admit, I left because you were just cheesing with the rocket launcher on the roof level. Seriously, are you trying to get me to toggle weapon stay so you can't keep picking up the rocket launcher for ammo?

Wil

I liked it, but I had a headache + work to do... and I suck bad....

Ivo Flipse

I prefer Counter Strike, where the weapons are at least a little more realistic

Wil

maybe just make it a monthly thing? :S

TomWij

@IvoFlipse: Yeah, got that same feeling...

Ivo Flipse

no @Wil, we just need to get schedules aligned better

and more choice in games perhaps

TomWij

18:37

@Powerlord: Perhaps, but I take the launcher before you return to that place...

Wil

if people want to email me details or say it here, I will do whatever I can to help/organise stuff... but I have a busy schedule and a lot of work on at the moment, so may not be able to play much myself!

TomWij

And then there's ammo at the bottom and ammo in another room.

But well, it's a big player map anyhow...

Wil

I didn't think I was that bad at games... until I started playing other humans!

TomWij

I'm really wondering what happened to the name command in console, it's not working anymore. :S

Wil

easiest to do it (only way I know) in steam

TomWij

18:41

The Profile Name?

Is that copied into the game nowadays?

Because the Multiplayer tab doesn't allow you to change your name either.

Wil

Not sure exactly, closed it now... it was profile or friendly name... something like that

Powerlord

@TomWij Valve killed it on TF2 a while back. I assume they killed it on HL2DM at the same time.

TomWij

It's probably to cover the ALT+0160 bug which allows you to steal names that contains spaces.

Ivo Flipse

In the Steam app itself Tom

if you click on yourself, you can set your username

TomWij

@Powerlord: I see, I lately played CS:S where it wasn't patched.

Wil

18:42

@TomWij Steal names?

TomWij

Yes, If your name is "Awesome Wil", I can take the same name as you and you can't figure out which player to kick/ban by entering ALT+0160 instead of the space.

Wil

ahh

TomWij

Almost nobody knows of that bug, but it's a pretty annoying one towards server admins.

@IvoFlipse Hmm, perhaps Quake Live, as that is free?

Ivo Flipse

well enough users have SC2, Counter Strike, TF2

TomWij

Although we have to find a server to play on, or we need someone with a Premium/Pro account to host a server.

Hmm, true..

Ivo Flipse

18:49

when Portal 2 comes out I'm sure people will be interested in playing on a server

TomWij

I'll probably be trying to speed run Portal 2 once it releases. :D

That was fun in Portal 1, was competing with my sister, we got down to half an hour.

Wil

half an hour :S

.... Not sure I even finished it! I think I got to the final boss thing but couldn't kill it (did it have a timer or something... been ages...)

Powerlord

@Wil Heck, Portal 1 only took me 3-4 hours the first time I played it... it's a short game.

Ivo Flipse

check the half-life 1 speedrun, thats just insane to watch

Wil

The only games I really like and can do well is strategy... With FPS I love the story lines (sometimes) and like playing, but I am just rubbish at them...

TomWij

18:55

Portal is like one of the only games I really tried speed running through, but I stopped once they started to invent the Out Of Bounds tricks, which boils finishing Portal down to 10-20 minutes. :S

Wil

Just googled.... 9:25 :S

►

Ivo Flipse

out of bounds?

TomWij

You simply portal/fly outside the level, so you can quickly skip parts, etc...

See 03:00 in Wil's video.

And hmm, they even got more advanced, didn't hear of a Portal Bisection Fallthrough yet. :D

Wil

Gives a headache trying to work out what is going on! ... I need more sleep!

Powerlord

Yeah, when I said "three to four hours" the first time, I was including level change times rather than cutting them out like they did in that video.

TomWij

19:05

Yeah, mine is 30 minutes including level change times.

OOB takes the playing out of that, and yeah, kinda hard to compare because of the cut level changes.

Powerlord

I lolled at this:

TomWij

Whoa, the end is awesome.

Powerlord

Poll for Saturday: Vote yes if you want to play it, ifneedsbe if you can play it, no otherwise.

room topic changed to SE Game On!: This saturday at 1800 GMT: vote now.

Ivo Flipse

21:01

I would be willing to buy the yellow games in order to play along

badp

I just hope we aren't stuck with HL2:DM for eternity, it really isn't that great

(= if I find two games with little green overlap and good overall coverage, I'll pick that over HL2:DM)

Ivo Flipse

Wil just picked it because it was 'free'

but surely there are more gamers who have the same game, so we'll figure it out

badp

OpenArena is also free.

NFS:W is also free.

I added games from the top Gaming tags to widen up the selection a bit

Ivo Flipse

21:55

NFS itself isn't free is it?

badp

22:07

Need For Speed: World is a freemium.

Ivo Flipse

oi, that's interesting
