Re: Overpower Weekend
Sorry 'bout that; my PC apparently crashed, and then I couldn't get it to reboot. Now it seems to be working alright.

Re: Overpower Weekend
Okay, the server is reset to add NMC to the DD rotation. I made it cycle more frequently than the other maps. If we want, I can also add in some instances of it that are for combat (should you guys be interested). I won't add that in unless its requested, though.
You can download NMC here and here. Remember that this .map file REPLACES the existing longest.map, so BACK UP your original longest.map (or else you can't play it no mo').

Re: Overpower Weekend
Unfortunately restarting it puts it on BG...wonder how far NMC is into the rotation?
Oh, it got wild there for some time. Me & BC, then Icks, then Slappy and Pato... it was rainin' Hogs in Danger Canyon!

Re: Overpower Weekend
Heh, good fun indeed! Forgot how much it kicks arse to have some Hog Rundowns. 
Got the new Longest Map too, so I'm as ready as ever when this thing fires back up! Thx Icarus~

Re: Overpower Weekend
Each map has two instances, a FFA and a Team version of DD. NMC cycles in every 3rd map (so for instance, BG FFA, BG Team, DeathIsland FFA, DI Team, NMC FFA, NMC Team, and so forth). I shoulda made it the first map, but I wanted people to have time to download the map. If you want, I can make the map a constant for the week, change it for OP Weekend, then go to a normal mapcycle after that.

Re: Overpower Weekend
It's probably OK as is, but would it be simple to switch up the maps so as to not have both versions consecutively? (E.g. not BG FFA, BG Team...) Icefields is fine with 4-6, but lousy with 2 players, so (Icefields) "KOTH" "Not again! Whaaaa!"
Sometime, shooting on NMC would be nice. I've wondered since it was first run what it'd be like with tanks and rocket hogs... that'd probably make a good Spec Event weekend, draw enough players for the map size.

Re: Overpower Weekend
Anyway, no worries about BG first. I was the only one left by then.

Re: Overpower Weekend
Yeah, I came back after I DL'd the map but then discovered something unnerving. I had unwittingly installed the game "loose" on my drive.
(The games are all in a seperate partition, but still - pretty dumb of me.) So I ripped it out, re-installed and by the time I got back on, 'twas empty. I'll keep an eye on the server status at night, if it's populated I'll gladly hop on.

Wait: so, to play right now, do I need only New Mombasa?

Re: Overpower Weekend
I was on last night for a while, all alone sadly. 
Might get back on tonight, but there's an Enemy Territory Finals Match I'm watching around 9:30 EST.

Re: Overpower Weekend
You missed BC and BigSmall then. Were all three of you you on at different times while I couldn't make it at all?

Re: Overpower Weekend
Yeah. I saw him on a few minutes ago, rigged OP and by that time... well, you know.
Guess I get some needed rest instead, maybe check it out afterwards.
