Blue n Gold Sue Member	posted September 18, 2004 01:30 PM In this case I did give the IP and port to Ras, as he seems to be "acting clan leader" for BWL. Given I know that BWL has more difficulty in organizing things, I might be inclined to also share the IP with Sailor, Par, glo, RexR and Melon, their 6 players (so you guys DO have to talk to figure which 5 are playing!). I don't plan on sharing the IP and port with others, however, as the other clans seem to have a designated leader. [This message has been edited by Blue n Gold Sue (edited September 18, 2004).] IP:
Blue n Gold Sue Member	posted September 18, 2004 01:37 PM David, why stock maps, why not clan maps? IP:
=DNX= Matrix Member	posted September 18, 2004 01:54 PM Personally i would prefer clan maps, but its ultimately not my decision - we do need to know about 4 days b4 the event though so that our members can locate and download the pack. I designate the following members from DNX to be given the IP. BamZipPow[AVP] and Coaxs[VP] They will only share the details once we have decide which 5 players are attending and announce the list either here or on our clan forum in plenty of time. IP:
pablito Member	posted September 18, 2004 10:56 PM Can we please go with each step at a time: * Team pack link is working, tanks Matrix * Is new IP# working? * Is the Flag pack ready yet? and where is the link? * Will there be 4 or 5 players per team for this clan battle? ** It seems a little late to implement clan maps, not that I'm not interested in trying them... but... can we get organized before throwing more potatoes in the stew?.. we need the meat first...(don't know where that came from)...

666 Member	posted September 19, 2004 12:09 AM Well I am glad that we tested the server and the flags because there were some problems. The port works, but I forgot to call out the additional teams in the dedicated.cfg file due to the 8 additional flags. Got LDA to relaunch the server today. All the new flags show up but now the cat flag did showed up white. I fixed that but I would like LDA to relaunch the server again to verify the cat banner comes through. Sooooo.......you will have to wait till the server is relaunched. I want to make sure that the flags all show up. As for the FL, you will get the gray flag that unescapable wanted. This is not the pack that Matrix did. That would not have all the clan flags in them. But without his help we would have not solved the clan banner problem. Thank you for your patience. IP:
=DNX= Matrix Member	posted September 19, 2004 12:38 AM Thats right, the 15 teams pack and the master flag pack are 2 completely different downloads... Maybe its time they were combined though, whats everyone think ? Itll reduce the number of files ppl have to locate for sure... IP:
pablito Member	posted September 19, 2004 02:34 AM Yes, combine them (especially if they work)... our CAT flag had a bitmap resolution problem, it needs to be saved under 256 colors... but I already sent the newer version to RC... unless he didn't give it to you; I'll e-mail you another one tonight. Thanks! IP:

kv Member	posted September 19, 2004 08:43 AM I say keep them seperate. That way someone can run a 15 team server without being required to use the clan flags. @ Matrix: the "clan flag pack" and the "master flag pack" are not the same files. They were made into seperate packs for a reason and should remain that way. IP:
=DNX= Matrix Member	posted September 19, 2004 01:17 PM Oh, i thought the clan flags were in with the master flags.... oh well. IP:
666 Member	posted September 19, 2004 11:32 PM Well the test is done and they are all good. The link will be posted for them tomorrow. thx for your patience. Now if only BWL will pick some stock maps...LOL [This message has been edited by 666 (edited September 19, 2004).] IP:
kv Member	posted September 20, 2004 07:45 AM has the IP been given out yet? the clan war is in less than a week and I like to try to get the ip out about a week before the event, and I don't have the new one yet. IP:
pablito Member	posted September 20, 2004 09:47 AM Matrix, was that a neo-classic cat insignia?... did you make it? it's cool.. we picked one randomly... I changed it a little but only have Paint to work with IP:
pablito Member	posted September 20, 2004 12:53 PM Talking about lag issues... am I wrong or LDA is on the same server as the hidden clan battle server.... If it is, why can you take down LDA for the hour or so while clan battle is ocurring? Wouldn't that take out some of the lag??... IP:
=DNX= Matrix Member	posted September 20, 2004 01:24 PM @ Pabs No i didnt make it, kinda cool though huh - showed up during a search for sumthin TOTALLY different, so i bagged it in the belief youd like it. Also, taking down LDA prolly would help, but i cant see Jim being in the office on sunday evening to do it for us IP:
pablito Member	posted September 20, 2004 03:38 PM Well, as server administrators can't they restrict all users to log in to LDA... or even better, make it hidden... They don't need Jim for that.. do they? IP:
VorDesigns Member	posted September 20, 2004 06:31 PM Pablo, Clearly you don't understand some of the vagueries of the WAN and security; first, providing access to the outside from a system behind a firewall isn't to be done willynilly. VPN is your first choice, but that adds all kinds of bog to the VPN host and usually gives the end user a gray hair or two. Second, there is the issue of what remote client to use; VNC, RemoteDesktop, pcAnywhere, LapLink, what have you. Then their is the even larger issue of giving out an Administrator password or even a std user password on a system that is quite probably doing more than just running TM server. Stop picking on LDA for what they are providing for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! And let the others who have graciously dedicated their time do the work that they are doing. It will get done quicker without extra kibitzing. IP:
pablito Member	posted September 20, 2004 10:13 PM I'm not picking on LDA, I'm actually trying to bring up ideas to eliminate lag, that's all... ideas.. concepts.... sorry for any incovenience. IP:
pablito Member	posted September 20, 2004 10:16 PM I'm more than grateful for playing on TM... that's why I'm into it... "asking you find Rome"... or something like that... don't take my input erroneously... or output for that matter... IP:
Rex R Member	posted September 21, 2004 05:11 AM iirc lda has a contract to run a stock server. this would preclude shutting it down other than for unusual probs and or comp maint. even running a 'clean' server runs into probs when you approach 30 players IP:
666 Member	posted September 24, 2004 12:00 AM just a reminder of the clan battle this Sunday...get the new clan flag pack here. http://www.hallsted.org/org-downloads/clan_team_flags.zip Would suggest that you make an addon folder just for the clan battle that will not have the HQ addon. Lots of tanks will slow down your graphics. I would also advise folks to delete the old clan battle flag pack. It is only 5 bmp files. See this thread for the location. /forums/archive/ubb/Forum2/HTML/004167.html It is about 19 post down on where the 5 bmp files are. Make sure you have the hidden port address. That's all. IP:
