Last Night on TV Private

Dominator · Posted: Tue May 07, 2002 10:33 am Post subject: Last Night on TV Private

last night had to have been the best night of tfv that i have had! The Private server was playing wrath which is my favorite map. Does the private server often play this map. and i think playing with Mk was just a blast.

Yes, Dominator, the private server, as of right now, has a Avanti/Wrath rotation. Only Saturday evenings, does this change, due to TVB Night. Glad you made it there. I like Wrath also and hopefully more people will get in and play.

Swift, we're currently discussing the possibilities of adding more maps to the rotations and we might be trying something out soon. The problems we face is that custom maps need to be downloaded and it takes an incredibly long time if done ingame. Some people never complete a download before leaving the server for greener pastures.

The only solution is prob to download those maps beforehand. It also helps if players got more adventurous and experimented with different maps and employ different strategies!

We had TV2 run custom maps a while back but for some reason, people weren't going there which didn't say much for getting a vote of confidence. I guess in order for custom maps to stay on, the players also need to support those maps and play on them.

Optik, the password for the Private Server is "accelerated"

Thanks Munkey. Well I can tell you this much. I'm there to play on any maps you provide esp if they are new ones I can venture out on.

Munkey I understand what you are saying about how difficult it is to get people to download custom maps. However is there any possibility to replace/add maps to some of the servers such as Valve maps or perhaps custom maps that many people already have.

Valve suggestions:
Flagrun - gee, never mentioned that one
Hunted - fun game I've been playing a lot of it lately

Custom
Bases - any version however I think Bases_l is best
Shutdown2 - tons of people have this one
Openfire - or maybe openfire_l either way I think more people would have original though

These are jsut suggestions hopefully helpful ones.

Yep, I forgot all about Flagrun too. I've just changed the following on TV4 for now.

Added:
Flagrun (NEO enabled)
Hunted (No NEO ~duh!~ and with plenty of sniper spots open)
Vidars2 (No NEO, custom map) Download here -> http://planetfortress.com/features/lotw/vidars/

Removed:
Badlands
Epicenter
Osaka

Enjoy!

Vidars2! Excellent! That is a great map! Thx man.

I think downloading new maps supports TheVille's growth. Granted, many have very slow connections and that can make downloading a real pain. I am spoiled with my cable connection I know. I can d-load maps in around 30 seconds somtimes. Fast or slow, it's always great to keep TFC fresh! New maps do just that. There are some fantastic maps out there people! Spaceball, Magic, Vidars2, Wrath, Dusk, etc. These are maps we play constantly on TVB nights and on random servers when an admin loads it up or it gets voted in. We have a freaking blast! I was sad to see that TV2 did not get more support than it did. I loved it. Lets d-load people and support TheVille by doing so.
