Modacity Gamenight 8/29/09

[English Mobster]

I'm hosting a gamenight afternoon on my dedicated server tomorrow.
Time: 12:00 Pacific (3:00 Eastern), 8/30/09.
People report getting less than 100 ping, and I don't have rec0 installed, so no rec0 abuse.
It will be awesome.
I'm going to let you guys set up the map list. Suggest to me some maps and I'll squeeze 'em in there.

Map list:
Bounce Arena (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4799) - Snipeball (Oddball, snipers, no shields)
Rainbow Road (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2505) - Team Slayer (Just tested, race does NOT work)
SuperArena (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4661) - CTF

I'm never able to join your server, not that i'd want to really, but it doesn't show a ping on the server list and I was curious if some guy was pointlessly hosting a server. I suppose it would be possible to join by people who know how to change their ports. What I'm getting at is, there are other people who probably would have the same problem as me. This was more than 3 weeks ago though.

Rainbow Road, Race?

oh
and this map has awesome ricochet action:

Race on Rainbow Road never spawned any vehicles. Seems like the only gametype they spawn on is CTF or Team Slayer.

When we were beta testing Domain, everyone was able to join. It might be a local problem, but I'll look into it.

I'll keep that in mind.
E: Bumping back the gamenight a bit. 6 PM Pacific; I'm going down to San Diego at noon to play some Halo 3: ODST with the Bungie guys in the ODSTmobile.

Yea, this is what I was referring to, not your post but the fact that the OP actually added them to the list!

[English Mobster]

Sorry guys, I'm running late. Haven't gotten back from the ODST thing, the drive home would take me too long for me to set up the gamenight tonight. Gamenight pushed back to noon tomorrow Pacific, unless anyone has any scheduling conflicts.

[Alwin Roth]

Map pack up.

[Daishi]

Getting it right now, hope this isn't over already.

[English Mobster]

Server booting up.
Git in.

[Daishi]

What's the name of it?

Edit: Found it, unable to join after 5 retries.

[English Mobster]

"Modacity Gameafternoon 8-30-09"

[Daishi]

Still unable to join game.

[English Mobster]

Huh. It just says unable to join game?

It works for me, and it's worked for others in the past, even casual players, I have logs to prove it.
That's odd. I'll look into it.

All the correct ports are open; there should be no reason why you can't get in.
The only thing which has changed since people were able to join was the IE security update I uninstalled.

[English Mobster]

Fucked around with my ports; turns out my IP address had changed. Should be fixed.

[Daishi]

Nope, still can't. I CAN join servers, joined some random one and played for a while.

[English Mobster]

Huh. This is going to drive me nuts.

[Alwin Roth]

Wait, the game is up right now?

[Daishi]

Nevermind, don't fuck with it anymore. I got my port opens wrong and switched the types. The server is up and working fine.

[English Mobster]

Ah. Ok.

E: Yep, you can get in. There's someone in the server now. Hurry up and get in!

[Alwin Roth]

I WILL.

[English Mobster]

Fun as hell.
Rainbow Road! Now! You Guys! Get in!

[Alwin Roth]

dont have super arena or whatever,
so im gonna sit that one out.

[English Mobster]

On WartornCov3 now, my Laptop just fried, so I'm using this desktop.

[Alwin Roth]

Well, it's been sort of fun, barely at people though :(

[English Mobster]

Yeah, we had maybe 6 people at the most. Gamenight's still going, but it's 0 people on Yoyorast.

[sdavis117]

No shield active-camo on Extinction.

Do it.

[English Mobster]

Hah.

[English Mobster]

Well, it was a good run guys.
GG.
