[BlueHat]

Rather big picture, but a bit of a teaser as to a project I've been assigned too by Jack with the help of Duee ;)

[Laegluin]

Damn teasers, what is this going to be? D:

[lordgandalf]

teamfortress 2 clan ? if so im in played it alot most played game in my steamlist xD

[BlueHat]

Bit more than a clan Gandalf.

[Jackster21]

I do believe that is a screenshot from the new Slap Gaming TF2 Server that is currently being built? :D

[BlueHat]

HOW DID YOU KNOW!?

[lordgandalf]

ooooh tf2 server nice need to dust off my tf2 playing then xD

[Jackster21]

HOW DID YOU KNOW!?

Hax Dude.

[Ryuuga]

god I better check exactly how horrible I was at that game XD haven't played it in ages. :D

[BlueHat]

:D :D :D :D

[lordgandalf]

tf2 is the most played game in my steam library have played it for 433 hours xD
I had to buy it that early i was playing it now its f2p xD

[Laegluin]

Damn, sounds like I have to play tf2 again. I am so bad now, I can't even rocketjump anymore D:

[lordgandalf]

need to get my rocketjumps,sticky jumps and double jumps on again xD.
is there a ETA of the server becoming public ? would love to play on it

[BlueHat]

I'm pretty much working on it as I go along, seeing what needs doing and what kind of features need to be implemented. So far it looks like things are going well and should be open soon but I've never done a tf2 (or valve) server before so everything I do, I'm learning as I go along.

I expect we'll be up for play in a few days but development will continue for a while, as things get set up and new features introduced etc. It'll be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun :D

[lordgandalf]

have ran a server some years back for me and ryuuga to play around with xD
its difficult to set it up good

[BlueHat]

Everything is running, just need to sort out the ip connection mask with duee and we're ready to go. No addons but SourceMod for admins at the moment. We'll put addon's in as I get more familiar with it and as people make requests etc.

[Ryuuga]

is it done yet? or can we have a E.T.A.? :P

[BlueHat]

ETA, as soon as duee sorts out the ip masking then we should be good to go, however there's very limited additional functions at the moment :)

[Ryuuga]

which means... what exactly? it only supports normal team deathmatches not man versus machine stuff? or it only supports vanilla stuff and no other mods beside the admin stuff yet? :S

[lordgandalf]

ip masking as in natting the real ip
or ip masking as in the network type xD

[Ryuuga]

ip masking as in natting the real ip
or ip masking as in the network type xD
I get the part about masking is like hiding the network type but what's natting the real IP?

[BlueHat]

Basically I'm just waiting for duee to set up tf2.slap-gaming.com / tf2.slapgaming.com (how ever mc.slap-gaming.com currently works :P ). I mean it's a vanilla server with the normal map rotation, we have the admin addons / plugins installed for in game admin control and server control etc but nothing else at the moment. No radio, sprays anything cool like that :)

I'm quite busy starting tomorrow with work but if all gets sorted tonight then I'll happily open the server, but I won't be on much myself. The server will be open to quick play as well so should get more than just slap players on there.

Yet to talk to Jack about anything like donation systems and rewards etc or if we will even have them.

Don't worry about natting, not unless you never need to do anything with it :P

[lordgandalf]

About the donation thing its frowned upon by alot of people people hate servers like saign etc.

[Cats_say_moo]

mm, going to totaly engi everyone out there on the server, xD
(Cant wait to get on!)

[lordgandalf]

ive been playing some rounds lately so watch out xD

[Ryuuga]

mm, going to totaly engi everyone out there on the server, xD
(Cant wait to get on!)
tell me when you get on and we can double engi gandalf :P

[lordgandalf]

ooh double engi spawntrap xD

[BlueHat]

About the donation thing its frowned upon by alot of people people hate servers like saign etc.

I think you took me in a seriously wrong way there. There's a massive difference between pay to win and donations. If I wanted to let engineer's build like 15 turrets for example, I wouldn't be leading this community project. However donate for a reserve slot or funny hat colours are perfectly acceptable in my eyes.

I'm totally against pay to win models or any form of donating for an edge, you donate to support the server and we would reward in such a way that boosts the fun a bit without effecting the game.

I don't play many servers that have heavy donation systems like saign, and it's horrible either way. No player gets an advantage unless they play and practice more.

[hbmann]

I am really looking forward to this project. Team Fortress is one of the games i've played most in my steam list.

On one of the last servers i played on i saw a feature that - after typing !robot - would turn you in one of these MvM robots.
It acutally doesn't affect the gameplay itself so something like that could be suitable for a reward of donation in my eyes.

[Cats_say_moo]

Any specific planed date for public launch <3

[BlueHat]

*shrugs* tomorrow if I can get hold of Mr Duee? :)

[lordgandalf]

you can also open the server but use it on the mc.slapgaming.com thingy until beter ??

[BlueHat]

Yeah but it's password protected atm. :)

[Telluur]

*shrugs* tomorrow if I can get hold of Mr Duee? :)

[Jackster21]
