Nexuiz Tournament At LAN Party

[mechanicalnucleus]

I run a LAN party called GenericLAN in Berkshire, England and I'm thinking of using Nexuiz for a little tournament. Should be pretty cool!

I've already working out a Warsow one!

Check out: http://www.genericlan.net

Tell me what you think and ideas are always welcome!

Iva arranged several Nexuiz compos at small lans now and this is how we did it, if you wan t some input.

We played DM open for all, in heats, max 8 players each heat. The best from each heta made it to a finale with 4-8 players.

We played max 10 frags max 5 minutes each map. All maps (dm_nexdmNN) and the total number of kills overall won the heat. Then the one woth most kills in the finale won that one

We used the scorelogging and then figured the result with my score logs parser found at http://excalibur.nvg.ntnu.no/nexuiz/statsparser/ to figure out who won. We warmed up each heat and the finale with the dm_nexdmextraNN maps.

With 1.5 I'd consider playing the finale LMS (last Man Standing)

That sounds cool tChr, I helped orgsanise a Nexuiz tournament once, but we had no idea how to keep track of scores (and were to lazy to write them down) so we ended up doing a 1on1 tournament.

Well. iirc i nagged kadaver to make the scorelogger for this purpose the first time we did a compo, and i crufted the parsert together over a few very late hours that night.. but it works, and now the scorelogger is part of the game, so its esaier to set up.

read Nexuiz/Docs/scorelog.txt for all the into you need

Good luck playing , hosting and having a comp of Nexuiz at a LAN .

No lans in Australia play Nexuiz , they all play instead :
UT2004, CS/CZ/CSS, Farcry, War3 with DOTA mod, BF2/BF2SF,
Quake 3, Quake 4, Flatout, NFSU2, NFSMW

( All the games I don't personaly like , except for Quake 3 )

Unfornatly their is only ONE ISP in Australia that host's a
Online Nexuiz server and I requested it be put online in the first place
