Overpower Weekend

If Icks remembers, that is. We haven't had one since last year!

Re: Overpower Weekend

Oh, you meant this weekend?  That may make things... interesting.  I'll certainly try to get things set up this morning/afternoon, but the instant my 360 arrives, I will effectively cease to exist.

So, OverPower Mod.  I assume everyone has it?  Otherwise, we'll need to find a new distribution method for the modded map so everyone is on par with the server.  I'll see what I can scrounge up right now (I may just throw the map file on to the actual web server and provide a link).

I'll post again with info.

While I'm working on this, what maps were modded?  Was it just Blood Gulch?

Re: Overpower Weekend

I think so. I haven't played this in a long time, and I don't think I have the mod. If you could host it, that'd be great. You could also create a PPF to save bandwidth (it'd be like a 4KB download instead of 5MB)

Re: Overpower Weekend

Tracks made it first, but it wasn't Mac-compatible IIRC... been so long I forgot it took a modded map. I think I archived it, but maybe it's a no-go this weekend with Icks' 360 and all. Meanwhile I'll dig thru old CDs for the backup.

Yeah, just BG.

Re: Overpower Weekend

Yeah, at xbox-scene (xbox site) there are many people who have already gotten their every10minutes xboxes, so Icks has, or probably will get his today or tomorrow... So yeah, we may end up doing this next weekend. Hopefully Zander may have gotten his problem fixed by then too.

EDIT: If you can't find it Bat, or if nobody else has it, I could probably make a new one, but I'd need help figuring out what had been changed.

Re: Overpower Weekend

It'll probably just take wading thru some scattered DCs. Might not happen by tonight or tomorrow, but this weekend looks like a no-go, and I'm pretty sure I can find it by next weekend.

Now I wish I'd registered at every10minutes... I could use me some 720p, new pr3tty Halo 2. sad

Re: Overpower Weekend

Sorry guys, I'm having a really smurfy day, and never managed to get around to throwing the mod onto the server, or transferring the mod to a seperate site for downloading, or anything.  I spent most of the day spending tons of money buying food, drinks, booze, 3 wireless controllers, games, etc for the 360 party I'm hosting tomorrow.

And then the 360 never came.

If you want details, I'll share, but at this point I think that "I'm thoroughly pissed off" just doesn't quite do it justice.

Again, though, I'm really sorry I didn't get around to the mod stuff.  I'll try to work on it tomorrow, if I don't go to Iowa City to visit the hospitalized brother-in-law.  If not tomorrow, then sometime this week so that next weekend can be enjoyed.

S'OK, me and BC had a great few hours of DD. Demon's- uh, BC's helmet makes great backpack. smile

So you put it up on imageshack? That's less spooky than some possibilities.

Re: Overpower Weekend

After lots of crap, I think the 360 is going to arrive tomorrow.

Re: Overpower Weekend

Don't worry, if I can get on this weekend, I will.  Its just that I may not be able to.  Depends on when we head home; I don't have my compy with me, so playing here in IA is practically impossible, but if we head home on Sat, I can play Sat night.  If we head home Sunday, I can play Sunday night.

I thought you just misplaced your CD... anyway, do we have the .ppfs yet, or need to keep looking?
