New public server?

Seeing all these journals about how BiO is empty, or people spamming in their journals with BiO's IP telling people to connect etc I thought - how about setting up a new Enemy Territory etpro public server?

I spotted that not everyone is happy with current public servers. There are too many slots, the rotation of maps is not good or 1 map is being loaded for too many minutes (e.g. sp_delivery with timelimt over 100 minutes), which might be boring after few. Also they stay quite empty for most of the time, maybe the lack of advertisement or some new features should be implemented?

Also when I check http://tz-ac.com/servers.php there is only NBS on the top and then nothing... It's because we only have two public servers nowadays - NBS and BiO? Though BiO is empty all the time.
How about Crossfire implement some kind of dynamic graphic with public server's ip and how many people currently playing on the server etc? it might replace for example "events" or "polls" tab on the right. (without mentioning that a button with "download ET" (ETPack) was supposed to be somewhere on main site.)

SO I'm thinking about running a new ET Public serv. There would be an ET Admin Mod so I would be able to give away proper rights for regular gamers (for example lvl1 for trustee gamer that regularly play on this server so therefore can't be kicked by vote, or higher levels for people who would like to help with admining this public server). The server would have 16 + 2 private slots. Of course there would be the most popular maps (supply, goldrush, radar, bremen, adlernest, frostbite) plus I'm opened for any ideas about any other maps that you would like to see on this server. For example we can change two of these regular maps for some other maps (oasis, dubrovnik, missile, caen, venice and so on) every week.

What are your thoughts about new Enemy Territory public server? Would you help me with this project by regularly playing on it? Or we don't need another public server because ehm one NBS server and empty BiO is enough? Or you just can't be arsed?

do it, i lack a server to pown :D
XPsave please.
Exactly the reason I kept playing ET on those old servers ages ago!
Parent
hahahaha same !
Parent
and stats save
Parent
Use B3 if u wanna stats rank and stuff
http://www.bigbrotherbot.net/games
Parent
to see in game the stats makes more sense so u know who you play and semi active or a 24/7 noob
Parent
put oasis there and load a config allowing to gain ranks
but only 1st level ranks - otherwise fop too powerfull and medics with adrenalin hard to kill
Parent
double jump!
yes!


and maybe figure out some baserace matches too :>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Karsiah
Warbell
MINAS TIRITH
Erdenberg
ice

would play even without these maps
do it!

add a gather feature on cf!

host a pub with rarely played/known maps!
there's already a gather feature bro
noone uses it thats all
Parent
i would say every week or every two weeks one new map - and with new i mean a map which is not so known

i remember 8 years ago there were like 200 diferent maps for ET on several public servers
I am afraid its gonna end up like bio coz noobs just love to play their delivery 24/7 but a good idea worth a try nevertheless
Guess the 30-day tzac guide is also killing NBS pub, there are lots of jaymod players who would want to play on an etpro public..
then the so called "new server" would need plenty of admins to have at least one at each time connected in order to ban the >80k tzac guids..
Parent
why? What exactly is stopping cheaters from creating new tzac accounts every day and just use the ones from 30 days ago? TZAC is currently not banning multi accounts nor would it be hard to make new ones even if it did.

It is completely useless to enforce something like this if they really want to cheat that badly they will.
What you are currently doing though is killing etpro since the only ETPro public t hat is semi-active is currently not accessible for jaymod players who would like to play on etpro.
Parent
I was expecting that answer.
And I have nothing to put on the table to avoid it.

BUT imo that tzac addon put the "once a week" trolls off to connect to the server and make all the players rage and quit.
Parent
having the server show up on crossfire would be nice and some better maps : missile, et ufo...
yes pls with xpsave and maps like oasis, warbell and so on
tl;dr

etpro pubs do not need tzac addon
>etpro
>no tzac addon

ARE U FUCKING MENTALLY RETARDED ?
Parent
no u are

gtfo thanks bb idiot
Parent
Actually u also are caus u are replying me, faggot
kthxcubye
Parent
shut up, cheater

useless jerk, go to school, learn french/dutch or leave belgium, we don't need people like you
Parent
I speak very good French, its my native language, I'm in school in general grade, I learn Dutch, you know me in real life?, how can you say things you do not know about me? useless jerk, go back in your fucking hole u useless idiot
Parent
That's how you'll get your e-reputation back.
Parent
Your french syntax is so disgusting that it gives me eye cancer everytime you try to grab my attention.
I also need to mention your schizophrenia that everybody but me seems to have forgotten.

"Il c'est tout" is for me one of the things that make me think that you are an idiot.
Parent
why would u want a tzac addon? tzac addon doesnt kick cheaters off the server....

and boy pls lover ur voice ur upsetting ur anus
Parent
Well , yeah, my bad
Parent
its lunch time so expect ONLY 41 people playing this game

check after dinner how man are playing
can i have the key?
good idea
Wait for N!trox, if he'll finnish his AC.. (its should kick the player from server itself + take screenshots..)

Then yeah..

Normal 6maps + after one week add/change one for some "oldschool" (Karsiah,Dubrovnik i like! )
Nitrox? aren't we all waiting for chaplja and his Tzac 3.0 ?
Parent
You mean for a guy who got paid 1,7k$ for doing almost nothing and took him 7days to recover from some "hackers" ?

Who said TZAC will be out in January?

Really?
Parent
I wouldn't call whole SLAC & TZAC anitcheat software nothing.

I don't know any details so I can't say if it's true or not, but as a person who uses TZAC, I can say he's been doing a good job. Also about 3.0 I saw that beta is out so a full version should be out soon.
Parent
It doesnt kick the user from server, so he can cheat and be banned 30days later but till that day, he can use whatever he wants -> Brilliant anticheat
Parent
Perhaps you should think before typing...

TZAC is a competition anticheat whose purpose is to prevent cheating in official matches, not on random public servers.

Quotea guy who got paid 1,7k$ for doing almost nothing

How can you even say something like this? You're clearly either mentally ill or truly have no idea how much time and effort chaplja has put into TZAC in the last 3+ years.

Please feel free to state in detail what you have personally done for ET and its community in the past few years that makes you qualified to criticize TZAC and chaplja so strongly.
Parent
nice idea fanatic too bad it's 2013

doh
Do something like u|k* , god i miss that server, but it cant be helped
QuoteAlso when I check http://tz-ac.com/servers.php there is only NBS on the top and then nothing... It's because we only have two public servers nowadays - NBS and BiO? Though BiO is empty all the time.
How about Crossfire implement some kind of dynamic graphic with public server's ip and how many people currently playing on the server etc? it might replace for example "events" or "polls" tab on the right. (without mentioning that a button with "download ET" (ETPack) was supposed to be somewhere on main site.)


That's actually a good idea, GO GO DEVELOPERS! :D
et download link on cf

i like :D
saw that eG server is fine also
would work if crossfire actually implemented that download button and somehow show a little list of server with people, BUT that wont happen (been reading about that etdownload button for over 2 years but nothing).
My honest opinion; The idea is good but it will be just another empty server so better save your money and time!
revive Bredbandsbolaget and Efterlyst pls :)
