[QUOTE=69105;44434195]i love playing goldsrc games like team fortress classic and day of defeat solely because the communities in them are so well-knit that it's mostly just a group of highly skilled friends that get kind of lonely and are more than happy to play with new people then you go on to the specialists and the eight remaining original people are the worlds biggest assholes. like what does that even achieve? i remember the mod hostile intent being probably THE best half-life mod out there. it had tons of really well-made maps (in terms of navigation and objectives) and had solid gameplay mechanics that I wish people remade today. The biggest issue with the game was that you could dolphin dive and iron sight up which made it impossible to hit you PLUS you could amp up the footstep sounds and hear players clear across the map which in turn made attacking an objective almost impossible since someone would camp it and destroy you with a grenade the original players killed off that mod not because they were essentially cheating, though. they killed it off because they were the largest group of douchebags i've ever had the displeasure of playing with. everyone thought they were god's gift which is hilarious since most of them were still in grade school[/QUOTE] [quote]i remember the mod hostile intent[/quote] For the last couple of days camping this and nostalgic thread makes me so fucking sad. That thing was beautiful.
I'm in game for a bit! Join me :) [editline]3rd April 2014[/editline] FUCK that
[QUOTE=Glitchman;44443936]I'm in game for a bit! Join me :) [editline]3rd April 2014[/editline] FUCK that[/QUOTE] I know that's it's been two hours but how does 10-15 minutes from now sound? I'd be keeping an eye on this thread for the next half an hour or so, so if someone wants to play just respond. I should be able to host a simple listen server so we'd be able to choose maps and stuff like that
what we need is a person that can host a passworded FP server so all the original players can't kick our asses.

[QUOTE=Dead snipe;44445432]can't see shit[/QUOTE] I messed around with some config options and if it doesnt work now that I dont know what will. [editline]3rd April 2014[/editline] Yeah its working now

keep crashing, don't mess with so many options?
[QUOTE=Pigbear;44445661]keep crashing, don't mess with so many options?[/QUOTE] I am just using the default server config dunno why its so crashy And it crashed again
It could be your computer or just the fact that the game is old.
Profan is going to set up a dedicated server probably tomorrow.
RP was cool as shit cause i'd just break into people's houses with Kung Fu.
arg. I hate that whenever people are like "FUCK YEAH LET'S PLAY THE SPECIALISTS" it just becomes a TSRP fest. TSRP is fun and all but you have to be there from the beginning or else you just feel like an idiot since nobody ever wants to help you get in to it. you've got cops and gangsters and the newbie standing in between who doesn't really belong and nobody wants them in their clique of cool mudda fuggas and then the server just kills itself. that's why garry's mod roleplay servers are a joke. that and whenever people have those serious half-life 2 roleplays, all of the rowdy 14 year olds become combine and just kill citizens just because they have access to guns even though the citizens and rebels are the people legitimately trying to roleplay
Damn it, it crashed again Sorry guys
Is anyone on right now?
[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;44445732]Profan is going to set up a dedicated server probably tomorrow.[/QUOTE] It's running and shit, amxmodx installed and mapvoting/such is on, including rtv. [editline]4th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Glitchman;44439475]No? [B]Textblock[/B] [editline]3rd April 2014[/editline] Honestly, I find it sort of fun when there are 1 or 2 vets in the games. It gives you the "OH SHIT ITS HIM AGAIN MAYBE I CAN KILL HIM" moments. You have to embrace it and have fun[/QUOTE] I agree, it makes the game more surprising, if you're always just playing against people on your own skill level, you're probably not going to improve :v:

Because fuck that, at 1-2 meters I will never improve. You can't go level 1 against level 100, like those "badasses" are. Seriously, the amount of stuff they do to achieve my death is looking so ridiculous at times on my screen I literally laugh at the monitor.

God i remember this mod, remember it being a blast. I'll try hosting one day next week when i'm back on my main rig.
Profan's server is noice, finally we can play maps that aren't urbannights
Okay, you can call me an idiot, but I have installed and ran HL1, but I used the TS installer off the Moddb page. And I think I may have messed something up. Wat do?
[QUOTE=Taggart;44451365]Profan's server is noice, finally we can play maps that aren't urbannights[/QUOTE] I might actually take it out of rotation completely, it's a stain on the other maps available really :v: [editline]4th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=litmeuplol;44451507]Okay, you can call me an idiot, but I have installed and ran HL1, but I used the TS installer off the Moddb page.

Doesn't show up in steam? wat is problem

Well, the server went boom. Was fun while it lasted though :v:

Profan, you said there's rtv and map voting, but going off by amx_help it doesn't seem to have rockthevote listed, nor is there a map vote at the end of the round. Otherwise, Angels' Share linked this in the game when he found out there's newer players around, looking at it I guess it is kinda useful especially since the website seems to be gone : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Py80_UQIic[/media]

I'll take a look at it again shortly.
