can I still join...? I'm not that good, but it could still be fun to join

Yes 'player signups' are open to saturday morning, then team sign-ups.

This will be on a new page = NEW link.

However once you register, you use the same login for all pages since you actually have an account with the tournament database/site. So you will not need to re-register.

To hillis: Yes you can still sign up but you will need a team-member, read- the start of the thread to learn how to create a team and how to invite players to your team (make sure you have a team-mate also )

I will open team-signups on saturday, if you havent registered as a player you will need to then create a team then sign your team-up.

I will be checking teams so if you don't have two players before the closing deadline of approx 2 weeks after the 15th then I remove your team, it is your responsibility to get your members into your respective team, not mine.

If you are a single player/s, pinkrobot / hillis, then perhaps you could be a team for the tournament?

I've also signed up for the tourney. I'll be teaming up with Hillis

Good stuff ackethefin and hillis

Ok guys now the important part.

We are going to be all be playing in one league now unfortunately, because we don't have enough for 2 seperate divisions.

IMPORTANT
-----------

TEAM sign-ups are now open, you will need to go to the 'div1' link at the start of the thread to sign up for the tournament, not division 2.

If you need to add another player to your team (max of 3 per team), then you can still add them the same way as before, but they still need to be registered with the site!

Because this is the first time i've done this i'm not sure if there name will be clickable when you go to view a team's profile, but we will soon find out if this happens It's not a big problem just is easier to see who's actually registered.

http://2on2tdm-div1.tourney.cc/sign-ups/

p.s Sign-ups are closed on the 26th of August at 23:59CET.

Please use this link to sign your already created teams up (I think captain's can sign the team up but it may have to be whoever created the team).


After you have signed your team-up or in, you need to 'check-in' this is done at the top after you've signed your team-up (I may need to accept it first).

It's on the top bar and will say 'Check-In'

Any Q's post them here.

Map-list will be released tomorrow and i'm working on the rules today, and map schedule.

regards.

Current Map-pool:

Stormkeep
final_rage
Strength
fr3dm1_nex_r1 (can be downloaded from http://maps.nexuizninjaz.com/ )

Will up-date list when have decided the other maps.

I would advise all teams to atleast try come on irc and arrange some practice maps on the maps listed that aren't standard with a nexuiz release like fr3dm1_nex_r1.

If you want some help with going over the maps contact me on irc @ quakenet irc channel #nexuiz / #allstars.eu

Kojn, can you plz reopen the signups? 2 shell teams didn't follow the topic here and are stuck in div2 (I think same goes for some other ppl signed in div2)

Anyway plz contact me on IRC.

Actually, me and hillis both signed up for div 2, we're still in there, but we also followed the new link and signed up our team there.

So if k0jak could be so kind and remove the div2 to prevent confusion?

Yes I will remove division 2.

Affro
Sweet-revenge
tehc00kies
Laidback

Have all been accepted.

Can affro and sweet-revenge please 'check-in'

for the Shell teams just go to the division 1 link and sign the team up there, your players already registered and added to the team before will still be in it, regards.


All players removed from division 2.

Shell please now sign-up for division 1 (your captains just need to sign your team-up, click on sign-up, select your team and then the button.

I will then accept you.

Ok, done. I hope we aren't too late

Nope you are not, signups are open till the 26th 23:59CET

Apologies for delay in getting map-list and rules up, i've been busier then I thought, i'm also working on a little something for the less experience TDM players in this cup/tournament.


By the way guys the official channel to meet for games will be #nexuiz.tourney

It's in your interest to idle there asap, anything you want to ask me you can ask there

I apologise for no news lately, i've been away/tired and a little ill!

signup's extended to the 30th now, till I can catch up on sorting out the map-pool and rules properly.

You will all get a week to learn the maps before there played (maps NOT included in standard nexuiz).

More news to follow tomorrow.

Thanks to all players/teams who have been very patient so far.

I'm getting close to having the map-list ready for release, and hopefully It will be available for you soon, i'm spending a lot of tonight when I get free-time to sorting out the rules and looking into how the group weeks are going to work, thanks for your patience!

Anyone wanna make a team with me? Just for fun, I got pretty bad on this game anyway.

Current map-list:

MisureaKitsune's Deck-Port (have sent him a PM asking if he can make a small change for tdm use so hopefully he can make the changes for us) but map will be directly the same, just with some ammo removed from top of map and removed HLAC)

Can download current version to have a look around it

Deck-Port (download here: kojn.mkzelda.net/Deck16][_nomusicV1.1 )
Final_rage
fr3dm1_nex_r1 (download here: kojn.mkzelda.net/fr3dm1_nex_r1.pk3 )
Stormkeep2 (download here: kojn.mkzelda.net/stormkeep2.pk3 )
Strength


I will update this post with the other maps that will be used but i'm still going over some maps.

There may be some missing textures for people who don't use SVN for stormkeep2.

Please give feedback if you have any major missing textures for the maps with link's..at the moment it should just be stormkeep2.

These maps will be used any final changes will be announced to let you know and to grab the new version of them, but for now download and have a look around so you know the maps for the tournament.

Thanks!

P.S Anyone have any other servers we can use for the tournament except for pn and delight???

pn is bad due to the lag problems it has... At the moment there's only delight, I guess

I'm sure there is other servers somewhere someone could help us out with.

Hi,

i would be pleased to setup my server [lda17's ladder rule server - nexuiz://affenbande.org, default port] for testing the map rotations with the tourney rules, etc. The ping is ok for european players..

Will the servers use the 2on2tdm ladder rules configs? If so, i only have to add the maps as the mode is votable already..

WOW kojn is alive! I'm trying to reach you on irc for days to talk about when or how to submit the actual snapshot of campgrounds! I need to put tons of playerclip just before submitting thats why it would be good to know when i need to send it.

Current map-list so far updated:

Campgroundsredux (coming very soon)

Deck-Port (new link, as frutiex made some changes for me to it)
Final_rage
Fury_Castle (link soon, check map reviews sub-forum to find it for now)
fr3dm1_nex_r1 (download here: kojn.mkzelda.net/fr3dm1_nex_r1.pk3 )
Stormkeep2 (download here: kojn.mkzelda.net/stormkeep2.pk3 )
Strength


I know some people like aneurysm as well, I always thought there was something missing from that map, and it has very bad fps issues, worse then Strength which is unless someone can remake it I will decide to not include it.

I'm looking for ONE more map to add to the list as this will give us a good variety of 8 maps, I'm open to suggestions people!!

Ideas/maps name them here. Would prefer a map designed originally for nexuiz, can name maps that you think would be good but just need some small changes like adding a powerup, removing an item, balance issues etc

Looking for, GOOD fps in general even for people with not nuclear powered pc's, good layout and balance, has item's to fight over e.g quad/shield and armours, includes different armour amounts, not just 3x 100a...for example 1x 100a, 2x 25a etc.

"It's very depressing..." said waterlaz, lda17h replies "yeah, let's change the map"

This is all the comments shell has about spawning without the laser...

And one question to ask: What's the difference between Nexuiz and ALL other FPS crappy/boring games?
Our answer: Nexuiz has laser.
What's your answer?

Yeah.. from the first minutes of playing I found out that the laser is like half of the game =)
Would realy like this tournament with the laser on all maps

I wouldn't put it that way. Nexuiz has many many other nice features But i must say, everytime i tell someone about the game i always mention the laser first, because it's so frigging cool So please please, pretty please with whipped cream on top, let's not start without laser in Deck16][

On a related note: What about adding "farewell" to the pool.. I really really like that map. It has no nex, so it's a good choice for teams that are stronger with other weapons

lda17h wrote:On a related note: What about adding "farewell" to the pool.. I really really like that map. It has no nex, so it's a good choice for teams that are stronger with other weapons

In my opinion too small for 2on2, considering you would fall off the map the whole time. I'd rather suggest to add darkzone if you want a map without a nex.

The laser is available on the maps where it has been removed.

It's only 2 maps, and it might be replaced into deck16][ we will see before the tournament anyway.

Campgrounds it's totally upto francotirador but he has made the map with the laser to be used minimally in mind, it's in the map if you want to get it, it gives the player's who get it more of an advantage much like players with a nex vs a player with shotgun etc

It will be available on campgrounds, but it's upto the mapper, you can move around that map fast enough without it, and it has jump-pads etc

on deck16][ I feel it is easy to break the map with having it always on, and it adds an interesting concept as the laser give's you more options on the map if you pick it up.

Correct, farewell is just too small and does't really offer much in terms of gameplay for 2on2tdm.

Darkzone is a possibility, but there is better maps imo.

actually campgrounds is a map too without laser as start weapon too, but it can be picked up of course if someone really misses it much if its so ugrent to jump up and down, there will be mortar until you pick it up.. the reason is dont want laser to this map because it has a very nice route-system, that would be completely messed up if people had the chance to jump-spam all around with laser. Also the size of the map is small, you can make a full round on the map with laser in 5 seconds, that wouldnt be too good either

Kojn, when you spawn, laser is 50% of your weapons, using any weapon without the possibility of throwing some lasershots in the combo simply sucks - Laser is not only for moving! If you want to make it interesting, remove all the weapons and leave 1 shotgun on the map....

Since it's up to the mapper to decide, I vote to remove those maps from the pool.
