Does it take anyone else fucking forever to get ingame or it just times out?
It keeps doing that to me making it a pain in the ass to get back from a game mode. Like it can take 5+ minutes to retreive server info. Takes my friend like a minute or two tops.
[QUOTE=ntzu;37337060]There is actually a way to connect to the lobby and bypass the player limit without coming back in from a gamemode.
I'm not going to reveal it though, as I fear it would spell the end of GMT.[/QUOTE]
Who would of known that typin "connect <GMT ip>" in console was so secretive....

I didn't think about it til I saw it though :v:
this everlasting ddos is great
Its back up for now.
Hey OP did you code the game mode? I remember talking to the creator a year or two back we discussed how he was going to do this "gmod tower project". If you remember me at all, my community closed down due to DDoS, but I think I'm gonna be a regular at the tower.
Now it takes a lifetime to get in. Its been sitting at the sending client info for like 5 minutes.
Man, I love the game mode, but I can't play if I gotta wait 15 minutes to get in and have it have a 50% chance of timing out before I get in.
Him and other talented coders coded the gamemode. Also, you could have checked the [URL="http://www.gmtower.org/index.php?p=staff"]staff[/URL] page.

The same thing happens to me :/
There needs to be some way that you could maybe let people kinda run a sort of lobby overflow server or something
When I load the server I get stuck at Parsing Game Info, I can press Cancel and everything and does not go further. I can join other servers.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;37385147]that's because it gets ddosed constantly every day and you can't play on it while that is happening[/QUOTE]
this truly is gmod tower's personal 9/11

I beleive it is getting DDOSed again.
When its got around 10 people in the game its getting DDOSed from today and yesterday.
Standing around in a lobby has never been so fun!

You got in?
I am not even trying because even if I do get in I am pretty sure ill just lag all over the place.
Will GMT people ever be able to fix the daily DDOS problem? Or is it just something we have to wait for him to get bored of doing?
EDIT: Not sure if fix is the best word but you know what I mean...
well the kid who got banned hired a ddoser to ddos gmod tower but i guess he could only pay for so much ddos because the server is up and running well for a long time now

How do you know ?
I kinda helped my loading problem. I went into local file options for garrysmod and defragged it, and it hasn't timed out on me and the load time doesn't take five years (but it still takes a couple minutes).
I don't know if thats a coincidence or what.

Source?
What's with the 'if it lags it's ddos'? Do you really think that's the only reason a server lags.

When it times everyone out for a couple days that is definitely a DDOS.

Aaaaaaand its back to being down.
It was fun while it lasted I guess.
(Was playing ball race. Buttons stopped responding and it wouldnt respawn me. Then time ran out and it didnt reset. And no-one was moving.)
Balls, I never got to play it. :(
What would be nice is if the zombie massacre maps had more detail, they look rather plain. The gamemode is fun as hell, but the maps are rather poorly made.

What the hell do you want?
They did an amazing job with Zombie Massacare from my view. Its epic.

The maps play well, but they dont look particularly good.
As a wise man once said: Never ask Fatfatfatty for opinions on maps
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;37407984]The maps play well, but they dont look particularly good.[/QUOTE]
To be honest, they were supposed to just play well, not look entirely amazing. Plus it's top down and the camera is pretty far off in the distance and there's a ton of action going on. We had basically a team of 3 people, 1 programmer (myself) and 2 other mappers (GameDev and Lifeless).
Yeah, I know, I'm coming up with excuses but that's just how it turned out. I figured people would want quantity over quality for the maps. Though I hope they're not an eye sore.
When are the servers coming back up? I really enjoyed it.
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;37413262]When are the servers coming back up? I really enjoyed it.[/QUOTE]
I am hoping they are actually doing something about the DDOSer instead of just trying to ride it out. Hopefully if they figure out who it is they can deal with him and put the server back up.

According to the forums they shut it off for the day because DDOSing takes a bunch of bandwidth and they don't want to pay.
Guys guys I think its back.
