This event is for the TF2 Server. Melee only! Practice your bludgeoning skills on other Forumites!

Do we have some sort of mod to force melee-only? Once you get more than about 8 people on a server it's really hard to keep everyone on the honor system.


#3

Dave

Dave

Nah. Other than the fact that I'm hosting it and if someone complains or I see someone killed someone else (the deaths do show on the screen) then I'll warn then boot them.

I may make a profile server with a melee mod on it, though.

I believe it's possible to set up a whitelist in the server cfg files


#5

Dave

Dave

It is. And I'm probably going to have to do that. Of course, I also believe I can do that right from in-game using the Admin console.

Forgive my ignorance, but this would be 4pm pacific time, correct?

iirc, 5 pm

Why don't you just turn on Medieval Mode? Only two weapons are allowed outside of melee ones, the Crusader's Crossbow and the Huntsman.

Isn't that limited to a single map, though?

Allen who is Quiet

because 3 hours of degroot keep every week sounds awful


#11

Is it only for one Map? Lemme go check.

Looking at the wiki, we CAN turn it on for other maps. Just need to input tf_medieval 1 on the Live Console.


#12

Dave

Dave

Yup.

Will be passing on this event.

Yes I'm posting just to complain.

I might be able to 6catch the end of this, but having never played a medieval map before, I can only assume 75% will be huntsman snipers lol


#15

Allen who is Quiet

Allen who is Quiet

Huntsman snipers, crossbow medics, demoknights, equalizer soldiers, and BACKSCRATCHER!


#16

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Huntsman snipers without ALOT of previous skill and practice get destroyed by just about everything on Medieval Mode. The "beast" is a Demo Man with Targe + Ulla Caber.


#17

Allen who is Quiet

Allen who is Quiet

oh, and kgb heavies

but more importantly, BACKSCRATCHER!


#18

It should be vanilla melee

Yeah, only Spies and Heavies worth playing!

Beh dunno why I'm saying anything, Melee Only is teeeeeerrible.

Melee just isn't a balanced game.
...Not to say a game with all-weaps is balanced, but at least you have a chance as any given class.

How dare you, sir...

Allen who is Quiet

haha, oops. Forgot to set my input method to direct input instead of hiragana.

It's stupid fun. Can't play it all the time, but it's pretty good once a week.


#24

Allen who is Quiet

But yeah, everything you can't read in that post was insulting your mother.


#25

Dave

Dave

The reason we are having melee Monday is for those of us unpracticed people to do so with weapons that are considerably less used. It's something everyone needs to practice at at one point or another.


#26

Bumble the Boy Wonder

Bumble the Boy Wonder

You learn the same way we all did!

By getting bitched at by randoms for being the jerk running around with a Holy Mackerel! :ninja:


#27

Allen who is Quiet

Allen who is Quiet

It's just timing. There's not much to it. It'd be better to learn maps, how to aim, and the general strategy for whatever class you're playing as.

I agree melee only is great for a hoot. I was once on a server with about 10 total people on it, and we agreed to play melee only until more players arrived. It was on a Payload map, which gave the attackers a slight advantage, but it was great fun nonetheless.

I'll see if I can get on tonight. Installed an SSD onto my desktop this weekend, TF2 now loads super fast.

It went pretty well tonight. Also, STAY OUT OF MY WAY. My 28 collected heads say you must obey me!


#31

Dave

Dave

Yeah, gonna have to either password the planned events or make sure someone with Admin rights can blast people out if necessary. Also, next week I'll be sure to have more maps on the profile.


#32

I dunno about blocking it, we gained a new member from tonight's game!

You need to file a ticket with them and see if they can get me added as an admin. Because I did everything right, but I still don't have access.

I came, I saw, I conquered (and got conquered). Good fun. I really need to buy a new microphone (one that works).

Okay. I'll look into it tonight.

Hey man, I'll take some of that admin goodness. Don't be stingy

If you are going to host Wednesdays as you talked about, you'll need to have it.

Bumble the Boy Wonder

Just tell me what/who to do

Bah, stupid time zones and shit. 8:00am on a tuesday morning is not a great time to play . I miss out on all the cool stuff

I showed up for this week's Melee Monday, but the server was down. Did something happen with it?


#43

Dave

Dave

It was fine a couple days ago! Right now, though, shit has hit the proverbial fan. Payment was due today and when I tried to do so I got the wonderful message from PayPal that they'd frozen my account. So tomorrow I get to start calling some people I know that will hopefully be able to help out. I have a couple of friends who work there - both managers - and I'm going directly to them instead of the customer service crap.

So yeah, it's probably down right now because PayPal won't let me pay the monthly charge. The money is there, but they won't let me have any of it for anything.


#44

The TF2 update wouldn't have anything to do with this would it? /oblivious


#45

Dave

Dave

No, it's because they decided that I had too many "donations" coming in.

They've been taking a lot of flak for this lately.


#47

Jay

Jay

I don't understand why they would do that?

Also... L4D2 out for ET 14 sluts? Yesss?


#48

Dave

Dave

When I get it sorted out that's one of the things I will be looking at, Jay. Until then, the server will probably be down.


#49

Jay

Jay

It may also be a good time to also check other servers as well.
