Since I miss playing LMS, and I have a server to spare at work (the new mail server wich isnt put into use yet) I deceided to set up an 8 slot LMS server.

I reinstalled the machine just now, and its up and running at lms.tchr.no. It is a p4 3GHz with 2GB ram and 2x500GB SATA2/16MB in mirroring. Ovierkill i guess the word is http://www.apario.org/bilder/index.php?gallery=%2Fgalleries%2Fcomputers%2Fjennifer

KadaverJack sent me the backports of the bugfix for 1.5, so when I get home tonight I'll set it up.

I'll let you know when I'm done

alredy posted on "General Discussion" what I thinker Yer wirk tChr

You make this lousy world look a little big better

Yay!
I missed LMS alot as well. thx for putting up another server, tChr

I don'T knw if tChr is finished wtih his LMS server, but it's online and usable.

I tried it out and it's running like hell

Log in, try out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished same night, just forgot to post

I have now added all maps to the loop. The default lms mapcfgs in 1.5 only include about half of the maps, the mapcfgs for the other maps can be found at http://excalibur.nvg.ntnu.no/nexuiz/pk3s/lms_missing_mapcfgs.pk3

i really like LMS mode but i noticed a little thing : when there are bots on the server, if no human has lives left and that two bots are left, the game should stop... coz if bots stay sticked in a wall, it can take a lotta time...

nice avatar picture, tChr, it's a great video loop

I've noticed that bot issue too.. especially on the oil rig

btw: I stole the avatar

another useful improvement would be an anti-camping feature... i remember one day i played on a server where camping was punished.
It would solve two problems together :
- bots when there are only two bots left that dont move...
- and also the f****** campers... coz it's easy to hide (and to win...) in LMS mode if camping is not punished.

That feature will be in 1.6. Also the bots will move a lot more and they will search for other players

always about that LMS server...

I know that the nex damage has been discussed a lot, and i dunno what was decided...

But the nex damage in LMS mode should really be lowered. As there are no health pack or armour in LMS mode, and players have all weapons, a LMS game fast turns to a minstagib game... In LMS you are SURE to kill each time you touch.

The starting health and armor was changed so this should take care of this issue..

In 1.6 LMS you will spawn with 250 health & 100 armor by default, so it will take 3 hits to kill you.

YAY that's good news

I dont thinkt thats that good news.. in LMS you dont have ammo, so the use of the Nex limits itelf. Especially if the weapons you pick up have the amout of ammo that they had when they veredropped instead of standards ammo count.

This is configurable, right? (That's one of the best things about nexuiz: everything is configable).

Yes its configurable, but those are the new defaults.
