I think I'll take LinktoInsanitys advice and join the OcUK group. Although I've only had a few games of survival mode so I'm not very good.

No worries about how good you are as long as you are willing to listen to advice and try to be aware of your surroundings then you'll be fine. Feel free to add my steam (link in sig), same goes to you drew. I rarely have problems in pub games, except people running off or ragequitting. I've been voted off a server before by a load of foreigners, I just thought "meh" and joined another.

Anyway as said join the group and add some of us and you should get some good games.

P.S. Wheres the witch

Well guys, good to see you liked it. I think for people playing this game a while now it's definaltey something that needed doing.

I don't think the cfg works perfectly and may still need tweaking but in general its so much better.

We had a game on BH last night, we didn't get a tank on the first level (good really as BH1 is hard anyway). We did have plenty of witches spawn and tanks on every other map including the finale.

The game again was much better than previous blood harvests and after we have played each map with this config I got a feeling its going to be on the whole a lot better.

The only side bad things are: Tank on last map might not be great and could ruin a finale but I think it's doable and just adds to the diversity.

Typing !ready on each map, I think we can bypass that but I actually like that feature as people like Lagmeister take 2 years to load each map so gives him a chance to play when hes ready!

FrenchTart · 20 May 2009 at 11:35

I'll definitely get this config on the servers this week.

I've seen the !ready requirement plugin before...I avoided it due to people being newer to the game but I'll put that on there too if you like.

I don't really like the ready mod, but +1 to the config being added to the ocuk servers

Then again, us admins can bypass it if needs be so i suppose it'll be ok. Also there is a mod that allows admin team switching so it would be good if that could be installed so that if teams are unfair we can swap them over. Don't enable autobalancing though!

Sure, will do. I think I've seen the team management plugin but if you get a chance, please link me

Also, offtopic but /re the CoD server. I just don't have time to get it setup at the moment

If I get the chance I'm still more than happy to host it though.

OK. This is the best thing I could find. If you want I'll look at better ones later on:

That's fine. Whenever mate. It's not life & death. I would prefer COD4, but that or COD5 would be good.

Also, here's a link to a cool mod made to L4d that allows versus survival. Enjoy

Also a wicked looking survival map:

I've downloaded this and will probably give it a try later on this evening.

The team management mod is included in the CEVO 'cfg', the Ready Up isn't that bad really, just people aren't used to it and see to get confused

Yeah true to this.

The CEVO config is pure win in terms of most things.

The only 'partial' downsides are tank on finale and the !ready command. Upon reflection though I am a fan of the !ready feature. Mainly because often I will go get a drink or take a slash between level loads and its just a lot easier not saying anything and doing the !ready when you're back.

I'm pretty sure CEVO can be added to the source plugin for admins so they can literally exec it in that way. The when everyone leaves the server should convert to its normal cfg.

When you run the CEVO it should automatically restart the level you are loaded into and resume with the proper settings, etc. If you need any help with the setup Dave, I can field questions or put you in contact with our server owner

FrenchTart · 20 May 2009 at 16:18

Cheers. I'll have a look over it and spam you once I've got to grips with it a little

Revolution6000 · 20 May 2009 at 16:23

You should be able to disable the ready up, just remove the cvars in cevo.cfg, but it's pretty handy for people who are running weaker machines and take extra to load up. Played a random match earlier and it was so much better than normal versus, it ended up 450 to 360, though that might of just been down to the teams.

Edit: Anyway to exec cevo_off when the server is empty? I thought it would do it automatically but I just joined my server and it was still running from earlier.

FrenchTart · 20 May 2009 at 16:24

Yeah, I'm sure I can enable/disable stuff as needed. I've had my fair share of config modifying exp

FS Dave....the command you are looking for is:

"Rcon_password lolzwut"
"Rcon exec pewpew.cfg"

survival mode is brutal, played a few with some IRL friends, our record on the light house is 2 mins!

Really?

, i take it that was going up to the top? Ive found its almost impossible to survive up there. Best results ive had is holding out in the house, i think my top time is 8 mins odd. This is the last gold i need as well.

Surprisingly, me and a mate (real life) and two bots, stayed at the top of the lighthouse, and managed to survive just over 7 minutes

I've managed decent times behind the seats outside in church. For gas station, standing right where the ammo is, also up on the sloping roof right where the lift takes you up (stay tight to the corner to avoid smokers from above) and also in the little room you drop down into.

I'm a bit stumped as to where's a good place on construction site, so far for me it's proved to be a tricky map to find a real strong point to defend.

Did the church gold yesterday, we started by staying behind the benches and got to about 8 mins, then we tried inside and got a beat down fast. In the end we stayed at the ammo dump next to the sandbag, 1 guy looking down the graveyard between the bags and wall, another checking the wall on the right (when looking from the church down the yard), tanks love to spawn there. 1 guy checking the roof for smokers and the back of the church and the other on sweeping the whole lot

10 mins and like 20 secs, was a struggle though, just keep grabbing new guns for fast reloads and a shotty for close combat tanks
