hey guys -

I've really enjoyed nexuiz and i'm trying to setup a few servers around the US. Right now I'm running a semi-dedicated server for West Coast on my box until I can get all the server configurations correct before pushing it out to a dedicated box here in LA and one in Dallas.

I came from UT TDM community so these servers will have 1v1/TDM focus... if anyone can suggest some great maps, please do. Here's the current map list and configuration. I haven't had a chance to tweak all of the map configurations but it's on my to-do for today.

Settings
- 15 minute rounds
- 0 frag limit
- bright skins
- antilag
- ticrate 0.03125
- maxrate 12000

Map List
tdm_darkcity
tdm_70mm13_02
tdm_storm3dm3
tdm_redm04
tdm_dieselpower
tdm_darkzone
tdm_farewell
tdm_runningman
tdm_toxic
tdm_aneurysm
tdm_stormkeep
tdm_reslimed
tdm_finalrage
tdm_bleach

ctf_eggandbacon
ctf_facingworlds

dm_aggressor
dm_basement
dm_ruiner
dm_warfare
dm_evilspace


Server IP
gaimhouse.game-server.cc:26000

this IP is to the temp-dedicated box... eventually it will change and I'll be sure to update this thread.

Code: Select all

sv_vote_commands "restart timelimit fraglimit chmap g_grappling_hook sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_red sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_orange sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_off" // players can vote for those commands or use them if they are masters
sv_vote_call 1 // 0 will disable the normal voting
//sv_vote_master 1 // 0 will disable voting to become masters
//sv_vote_master_password "" // when set, vdo login master will allow you to run votable commands directly using vdo
sv_vote_simple_majority 1 // 1 will make votes succeed if there are more yes than no votes; with 0 (default), more than half of the players have to say yes
sv_vote_change_gametype 1 // 1 will allow changing the game type by map votes (enable this on multi-gamemode servers)

can someone explain vote master stuff to me? I can't seem to figure out if the voting is setup properly so a user can change map during middle of game.

also, is there an easy way to setup global parameters so all TDM will be the same time/frag limit? It seems like i have to go into every .pk3 file and adjust or tweak the tdm/dm/ctf/1v1 specifications for each map.

is it possible to keep the .mapcfg files separate from the .pk3 file so i can edit them easily?

If you're still trying 'vcall gotomap <bla>': that won't work with those settings. All voteable options have to be listed in sv_vote_commands (default is
sv_vote_commands "restart timelimit fraglimit chmap gotomap g_grappling_hook sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_red sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_orange sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_off") and gotomap is not listed there... (however 'vcall chmap <bla>' or 'vcall timelimit -1' would work with your settings)

master is some kind of a restricted admin. You can either set a master password or allow users to vote a master. The master can execute all voteable commands without actually calliing a vote, but he can't run any commands that aren't listed in sv_vote_commands.

frag-/timelimit_override (-1: no override, use mapcfg values; 0: unlimited; anything else: use this limit for all maps)

Just create a new dir Nexuiz/data/maps and put all your mapcfgs in there. (if there's a file maps/foo.mapcfg inside a pk3, Nexuiz/data/maps/foo.mapcfg will replace it)

okk cooll... so i'd put the follow in my server.cfg, correct?

fraglimit_override 0
timelimit_override 20

does the override feature also apply to like gametype and teamsize:

g_tdm_override 1

I think you should cut out the brightskins. JMHO.

i disagree... the standard models are impossible to see... and since this is a competitive server targeted to UT players, the bright skins are a must. after finally figuring out the bright skins, we did a bunch of 1v1's last night and it was even more addicting than ever before.


cut map list down to:
========================
tdm_darkcity
tdm_70mm13_02
tdm_storm3dm3
tdm_redm04
tdm_aggressor
tdm_basement
tdm_dieselpower
tdm_ruiner
tdm_darkzone
tdm_downer
tdm_evilspace
tdm_farewell
tdm_runningman
tdm_toxic
tdm_warfare


any recommendations to add/remove?

pxlpshr wrote:does the override feature also apply to like gametype and teamsize:

No, there is no override for gamemodes.
There's no control for teamsizes, only a cvar for the number of possible teams (g_tdm_teams), which mapcfgs shouldn't touch, so there's no override.

pxlpshr wrote:i disagree... the standard models are impossible to see...

You could give g_fullbrightplayers 1 a try.

oh yeah, that's already turned on for sure.

this maps are really to small for tdm and put aneurysm , stormkeep,reslimed,final rage and bleach on the server they are good for tdm

ok how bout this:
==========================
tdm_darkcity
tdm_70mm13_02
tdm_storm3dm3
tdm_redm04
tdm_dieselpower
tdm_darkzone
tdm_downer
tdm_farewell
tdm_runningman
tdm_toxic
tdm_aneurysm
tdm_stormkeep
tdm_reslimed
tdm_finalrage
tdm_bleach

ctf_eggandbacon
ctf_facingworlds

dm_aggressor
dm_basement
dm_ruiner
dm_warfare
dm_evilspace

tdm_downer should be removed.

ctf_eggandbacon isn't a good ctf map. I honestly don't see what everyone enjoys in this map. If you all want to run around an open room fragging eachother...go play DeathMatch! Same goes for soccer sucks.

dm_basement, dm_ruiner, dm_evilspace should be removed from the DM competitive server. These maps are either too small or too easy to dominate in.

There are a couple other maps good for tdm from the quake map pack, but the names escape me right now...I'll have to look those up.

indeed!

i'll remove downer.

i dont play CTF and haven't played any of the Nexuiz CTF maps so please feel free to recommend some good ones. I'm familiar with facingworlds from UT.

right now the DM selection is strictly for-fun... i'll probably setup some 1v1 cfgs with a few of the smaller maps...

i'm hoping most gameplay focus will be on TDM and not DM or CTF... but I've gone ahead and thrown a few of those maps into my test server so i can start getting a feel of what works and what doesn't.

pxlpshr wrote:I'm familiar with facingworlds from UT.

As far as i understand it you wanna some ctf which are suitable for 4on4 tdm.

Ok suggestions:
capturecity-v2r1
controlfactor_v2r3
ctf_darkzone
hourglass
lavaflag
map-cb_ctf4_BETA02
reservoir-nex_b3
towers
tznex03
greatwall_reloaded3

some of the maps maybe not support tdm and then you got the ctf spawn points so afaik this dm maps are suitable :
straledm5_nex.
geocore
chronic
q3skoredm1_nex (im not sure here)
jaxtourney2_nex
ktsdm4
monolith
bactula
bal3dm3
ame7q3dm3_nex
wacka wacka
subhumandm1
shdwdm1
revdm5
revdm8b1
nexdmlc2
medley
irenav2
fragcity

thanks for everyone's help... server has been packed all night and its just running on my local box. eek. right now it's set to :15 minute rounds (in UT we typically play :20 minutes for competitive standards)... but i think imma change it down to :10 minutes since its a public server.

hope to get LA and TX perm servers setup tomorrow or the following day... Velocity servers in TX... and Internap in CA. i think both are peered with gamerail so should be great pings.

TDM FTW!


does anyone have Q3DM6 (Campgrounds) .pk3 file so i can put it on the server? if so, could you mail it to cubedcompanies [at] gmail.com.

Q3DM6 is Darkzone

Nope, that'd be Q1DM6
