I moved on to BF2.....  pretty much like NS except for the aliens =(

But wow... just going over the names that replied makes me want to load it up again

anyways...  can't help but wonder what ol flayra has in mind for his next game....  IIRC he was going to create a standalone game...  lets hope it is as good as NS.

Good to see you all!

General / Is this an old or new strat?

As some of you may know i've been comm'ing a bit lately with a pretty good success rate (i hope i'm not playing against nubs) but anyways, i've found a good way, and I thought i'd share.

Get in that chair and build an armory and scream at everyone to get out of base and get res.  With the wonderful random factor of humans, they will go every which direction while one person will stay in base.

When the first person makes it to a hive and you figure out what hive the aliens are not going for, throw up an RT and TF right next to it.  Elect the RT since it has UBER health.  After this, start building base like normal, and build an IP as needed.  Since this is an early one hive lockdown, you can concentrate all forces without electrification of anything else on the other hive.  Also, I like to get phase tech, and sit that gate right next to the RT so anything will be zapped.  

Also, if I really start to get res flowing, OR if I am not successful in cap'ing the first hive quickly, then i'll throw a TF in base and build everything around an elect'ed RT....  that way my marines can get the heck out of base and my TF will own any skulks that might be so brave to venture in to take some bites.

Crap...    I'd continue but i'm sure you got the point, and I have company.

Off Topic / since i'm somewhat of a reg i feel

sorry for bumming you out.....   under normal circumstances I probably would not have unloaded like that, but.... well.... ya...   I didn't really have much control over myself when I was typing that...  I was just undergoing my weekly depressive episode and wanted to mend any rips that I might have caused (at least thats what I hope I was trying to do)

And don't worry...  I may get violent and TK ya, but theres no F4'in going through my mind

story time...  (ugh, i know)

if you've played with me on the server, you know i'm generally a good guy, but every once and a while i'll go a little haywire....

where to start...

well...  I have hemophilia (the blood clotting disorder) and through a blood transfusion I contracted hepatitis C.  There is not for sure cure for this nasty virus (although I count my lucky stars I didn't end up with HIV) but there is a treatment that has a 50% remission rate, however....

- it takes a year long

- it has serious physical side effects.

- it can cause SERIOUS mental depression, and mental unknowns

- read up on peg-intron if you want more info

So...  I guess what i'm trying to say, is that if i've offended anyone, i'm sorry.  Right now i'm going through a rough patch with my fiancee becuase of this medicine (think of it as chemotherapy without the radiation).  I just got off the phone with her doing my best to explain that I have no control over what I am saying sometimes, and sometimes what I am saying is NO WHERE near what I mean.

So if i've rubbed you the wrong way, know that i'm 6 months into a treatment that has changed my very personality.  I'm a very easy going guy, as i'm sure many regs on the server can atest to, however, I will be "bad" on occation, and for those who've I've pissed off, i'm really sorry.

Sorry if this sounds sappy, but i'm really down in the dumps so to speak, so I had to let someone know, and since my real life friends are far and few inbetween, and sometimes I spend more time with the regs on LM than I do real life freinds, I thought I would let you guys know.

If you are a christian, pray for me, if you are a buddist, meditate on my well-being, I don't care.  Thanks for any positive energy you can send my way..

after all, I have been comm'ing FTW lately

First vote, I win.

Personally, I love my FF. But I'm willing to forego it for one week just to see. I'm actually very curious about this.

[snapback]47125[/snapback]

but honestly...  do you think it will affect anything at all?  The thing that affects marines not winning is people not being a team.  After playing on the vet server for a while, i've found this out.  And yah, the vet server is full of arseholes, but they can play marines at least - either that or they just aren't as leet as lunixmonster aliens are.

General / the problem

« on: April 23, 2005, 11:41:13 PM »

ass I see it, and i've just started commanding, bile bomb is the biggest problem.  It is really powerful, and if you are comm'ing only a couple good people, it is hard to get them to go through a phase gate sometimes.

BB damage needs to be significantly reduced, and i'm betting i'm not the first person to suggest this.

You could be a noob and use the control panel, OR you could read my console primer and type

ati_npatch 0 in the console

General / Brief Console Primer

« on: April 22, 2005, 01:54:39 PM »

I started repeating Console repeatedly and the people around me were like "OMG, what is wrongzor.  Did someone die??  Are you ok??"  Freaking out man, freaking out.   :lol:

[snapback]46610[/snapback]

well, thats what i'm here for - to annoy, confuse, and kick ass

General / Brief Console Primer

« on: April 20, 2005, 12:01:33 PM »

Aight, check it gang.

See that button next to the 1 key?   No, not the 2 key, but the ~ key.

This is your CONSOLE button.  Say it with me 3 times.

CONSOLE
CONSOLE
CONSOLE

From this nifty little thing, you can do just about anything - actually, when it comes to controlling how the game acts, you CAN do anything.

For instance, bring down the console (the term "bring down" comes from quakeworld becuase the console used to take up half the screen and kinda fall down over your screen slowly) and type

name "C0NS0LE is L337"

note you don't have to use underscores becuase you put your name in quotes.

Now, play with your rate a little bit.  IF YOU ARE HAVING PING TROUBLES, THE CONSOLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Grab a peice of paper (i know, i hate writing too) and write down the commands associated with better pings, like...

cl_updaterate
cl_rate
rate
cl_cmdrate

there are more, but I don't want to type them out BECUASE (nifty trick ahead)

try this...

with the console down, press the letter c, then press the tab button.

WOW!!!  It autocompletes things for you just like in LUNIX!!!!  (err linux)

for instance, if you were typing cl_updaterate, you could stop at cl_upd and press tab.


----------

next issue.

the console can tell you what your settings are currently at.

in the console, just type

cl_rate

and press enter

It will tell you what it is at.  Nifty eh?

this can ALSO be VERY useful when binding keys.

--------------------


WHAT IS BINDING KEYS?!?!?!?

Well, say you want your e button to move you forward.  In the console you would type

bind e +forward

In all cases, the + appended to any command indicates that the action you want it to carry out is done so ONLY WHEN you are holding the button down.

If you really want to just walk alot, type +foward in the console and it will walk without you having to press anything!  Not very useful, but good for proving a point.


Now...  if you ever see me in a game, (i know yall love me, so no more knob slobbin offers) and I perhaps say...  "H3Y DOOD, WOT Do U hAVE CHUCKLE BOUND TO???"

You can be the first leet person to (step by step)

1 - bring down the console  (its the ~ key in case you forgot)

2 - remember what key you have chuckle bound to (for this we shall say x)

3 - in the console type bind x

4 - hit enter

5 - tell me what impulse it is bound to.




I hope this has introduced some of you to my best friend in FPS's related in one way or another to quake.  I couldn't live without the console..


OH YA...  if you are in a game, say, and you need the IP of the server you are at....

in the console

type

status

thats a neat command - it will show you steam_id's, server info (serverinfo used to be a good command, but not anymore) and much more.....



OH YEA....   Another thing


When you are messing with your pings, type the following in the console

net_graph 3

ALWAYS have net_graph 3 on.  It is your best friend.  Trust me and you will see all the nifty stuff like choke ect.


Have fun!!!

Yes I too hate getting slotted.  Its already happened twice tonight.  I would just like for someone to wait until the round is over before hopping on.  But whatever I guess Ill just find another server to reg on.

[snapback]46156[/snapback]

heh, check this out

on the vet server, they will kick you with the message "you have been slot kicked"

It happens all too often to me on that server.

Cry, I'm not whining.    It just aggrivates me when other people do like they are only ones who get kicked on a regular basis.    <3 you Cry.

[snapback]46126[/snapback]

I really appologize for my outburst....

But please, anyone reading this, look at my ping time when I play.  Its never above 30.  How many people can say that?  Really?

My cable is rock solid and feeds to OKC then directly to dallas I believe - unless they've installed another pipe, which seems likely as this ping time reports.....

And before anyone says something like "Well you probably had edonkey turned on" let me say I only use torrents, and only at night when i'm sleeping.  So the chances of this working on ping CORRECTLY are somewhat questionable im(very)ho.

again, sorry for bitching yesterday

quit your bitching, you post all the time about getting slotted, well you're not the only one and you don't hear the rest of us whining.

[snapback]46100[/snapback]

if its based on ping, I would never get kicked...

unless the whole server was filled with slot'ers...

ok - now I feel stupid.

« on: April 12, 2005, 08:41:51 PM »

am I the only one bothered when you are really kicking arse (i think I was 25-4) and saved your hive and basically screwed marines only to get slot kicked...

MMMMM FUN STUFF

/rant off

/rant on

Someone said "Someone join so he will be slot kicked"

who knows if that was in my reference, but as I just stopped a 3 bacon attempt to rush a hive....

don't pay attension to me - I just like to have a fun game in a fun server and be kicked after I just played a big part in my team winning.

a quote from this site...

It is based on ping,

refering to being slot kicked....

now... being that i'm one of the lowest pinging regulars on the server and there is no way i would EVER be the highest pinger, how about saying HOW IT REALLY works?
