already changed!

Any way to allow a lone player to change maps and game type while waiting for another player to join? It can be a little more fun than sitting in one map while waiting, and help in map familiarity especially for newer players.

Need admin

Please put the IP address in the first post of this thread. I bet I'm not the only one that would look here for it.

Redundancy doesn't hurt :)

How does the server name show up in a search? When I added it to my favorites I noticed the hardcore and other specifics were cut off. Can someone verify it's not being cut off on the search too?

Also, we may be getting an influx of community members if we run this server right. How is in game advertising going? How about Vent? Should we advertise that too? Also, we will need a rule book set up.

If you want to keep this server full people are going to have to start working on the loose ends. From what I could tell the settings on the server itself were pretty good. I had no complaints or comments on map choices at all.

The in game server list sucks... I wish it didn't, but it does, as does any games in game browser sans Steam. However we could remove the "Community" part of "Jett Community", but this isn't my say. I'll leave it up to you leaders. As for server browsing, I use Xfire... it has a very good server browser built in with it.

In game Advertising is running as of now... I'm using Punkbuster's Console message functions to advertise. Below is a list of all the ad's as of now:

- Welcome to the Jett Community - Hardcore Dom, Sab, HQ, TDM Server
- Visit us at www.jettcommunity.com
- Add us to your favorites!

Those run at intervals of every 5 minutes, they show at, 30, 45, and 90 seconds respectively. More can be added to this at anytime if you have any ideas let me know. As for a rule book, it should be similar if not the same as TF2 I'd reckon?

I'd love to see the comm grow from the COD 4 server, and it's very possible. The key is maintaining return players over and over. It seems like whenever us Jett and Comm play, more and more random people join. We need to try and organize scheduled play times and such, to keep the server going.

[[Jett]-Silk]

I suggest removing the Community part from the server name. That way the Hardcore part is definitely in the server list name.

You have jettcommunity.com in the advertising so thats good for the site.

Done! (Damn 10 character limit)

[clarke]

:eek: we have 10 character limit?! wat about 16 limit it's much better? (AND U GET MORE OF OUR [jett]S ON.)

Some discussion from last night:

STRIKE - of the 6 or 8 playing last night, we agreed we would rather play DOM or HQ on this map instead of TDM. BLOC and COUNTDOWN are good TDM maps, if you feel you need a third TDM in the rotation, I don't mind it on BOG.

Can we double up some of the maps? A lot of them are good fun in both DOM and HQ mode. Some of my faves for each mode are: STRIKE, BACKLOT, and DISTRICT.

COUNTDOWN is also a fun HQ map.

[[Jett]-Tank]

Dangit...I'm gonna have to stop reading this thread...y'all are gonna make me use my Dell account so I can play COD4...lol.

-=Tank=-

Overgrown ftw in any mode 'cept FFA imo.

Strike changed to HQ...... When I get back from moving we can talk about doubling maps up... don't want to mess with to much right now.

-Silk;1813']Overgrown ftw in any mode 'cept FFA imo.

Yeah I forgot about that one! Overgrown is one of my faves for sure and I agree that pretty much any mode other than FFa would be great on that map.

Cool thanks! See ya when you get back!

Something the DaC guys brought up and I noticed today is that the server doesn't seem to be coming up in the in-game server browser? When I did a complete refresh, it said it was querying 20000 servers. I don't know if that is coincidence or some kind of bug/limit within the in-game browser. Our server wasn't on the list though. I have no idea if the two things are related. Just FYI.

[[Jett]-RANGER]

Willow when you get a chance can you change a couple of settings on the server. Knock the respawn down on all HQ maps to 3 seconds. Set the bomb timer on all Sab maps to 45 sec instead of 35. And change the game mode to Dom on the STRIKE map seems to be the consensous. Put STRIKE inbetween AMBUSH and BLOC in the rotation too if you could to keep it mixed up.

Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter Willow, you da man.

[[Jett]-Razorflight]

damn if I had a computer that could running it without lagging I would. Sounds like a fun game.

[[Jett]-OMEGA]

What is that map that has the huge statue in the center and its nothing but a 2 story square building. I don't see it in our map rotation at all.

Also, the dead bodies and bomb canisters(from air strikes) are remaining throughout the round. Does this affect performance of the server or the client pc? If so could we reduce the freeze time on them?

[[Jett]-Silk]

Bloc 10 le

[[Jett]-RANGER]

O yeah Omega, we whacked that map along with that stupid little cargo map. I don't mind that map to much if it's the right game mode but most peeps sounded like they didn't like it so we took it out of rotation. I'm not to crazy about it either, but that was my 203 map. hehehe..............

[[Jett]-Silk]

NM, its not bloc. Thats the map thats all sandstone bricks and looks like you would find it in the middle of baghdad somewhere. I was thinking Bloc, the one you would find in Ukraine or Kosovo.

[[Jett]-XgrinderX]

I think the one Omega is thinking of is called Showdown.

[[Jett]-OMEGA]

I like the map as headquarters. But thats the only style. It keeps people moving around a bit.

Also, Block 10 (snowy map) is awesome with ambush mode. The center field ends up becoming a football field of blood. Watching people try to push that bomb through the center is very funny.

Shipment on any game style is fail.
