Author Topic: Trench TDMs(Poll Added to determine A certain feature)--- need a hoster.  (Read 2025 times)

Seriously, what is it with the trench TDMs lately?
Just about on every single one I've been on, it's been quite bland in my opinion.
Like they don't have enough weapons, or the guns are all the same, etc.
I kinda realize that I had mislead a lot of people on what I was trying to get out, and I'm just now clearing this up.

Anyway, discuss Trench TDMs, what we can do to improve them, and whether you are setting one up, cause I set mine up, realized it was crap, shut it down, and now I am steadily working on it.


UPDATE AGAIN-
Meh, I'll just use DrenDran's classes mod.

Anyway, to get on the server, you'll need
--Tier Tactical 2, all of it.
--Frog's Weaponry
--Vehicle Cessna
--Leetlegacy's FoodPack and prints
--JVS, pretty much all of it, including extras
--Demian's Health Pickups and TF2 Items

On a related note, if you do download this stuff, download time will be greatly reduced.
Also, internet speed at my place isn't exactly top-notch...  

._.
Internet connection is so bad that people lag harder than ever.
I'm looking for someone with a good connection to host for me.

Small note.
Found new map to use for vehicles with Trench TDM CTF

Not really.
I'm throwing in the feature of choosing classes.
I'm mostly ranting about the weapon choice and absent variety of features.

You are complaining about a lot of trench TDMs being open. What a great idea to open yours, eh?

Not open, it's just that most of them are stale.
People are really are misunderstanding me.

I think the weapons are fine. I adore Kaje's rifle.

The only one that I've seen with those weapons is General's server...

Meh, forget it.
I'm gonna work on this some more, anyway, just discuss trench TDMs.

I don't like it when noobs just litter the battlefield with random blocks of dirt or pot holes of where they walked and dug.  Also hate it when people shoot 'builders' even though the host had said to not kill builders in the rules.  Hate it when the admins use fly mode to go above the barriers and shoot people down below.  I do this but I don't use admin stuff to get up, I stack a bunch of dirt up below me.

I was on a trench TDM earlier today, and I swear it couldn't have been run by
More badmins.  My friend and I went into that server together thinking it would be slightly good.  When we spawned and were ghosting, we had spawned IN the actual battlefield ITSELF.  We both got spawnkilled right there and then by three noobs dressed as bears.  It took three of them to kill two guys who couldn't even see other players or the battlefield.  So not only did they kill us right when we spawned, I waited until I was done ghosting until I spawned again, but once I could see them, I started shooting with the ONLY gun they gave us, a pistol (killed two of em), while they were filling us with lead from the repeater gun and shoop laser.  After this kill, the remaining dude used admin fly mode to quickly go
Back to his hideout.  So me thinking its all peaceful now for a while, my friend and I decide to do some building to make protection.  While in the midst of the medium sized cave part we dug, one of the dudes used /find and came into the cave (killed my buddy and I was horribly wounded).  So then, being the weird little noob bear he is, he called to his 'papa' bear to help him.  Papa bear fetched me, shot me with a shop laser, and said he was the awesomest assassin ever.  After my death, my buddy came up out of his tunnel he had dug under the bears' den and killed all three of them.  The 'papa' bear dude then banned my buddy for noobish freekilling.  I was mad at that point because of how bear special interest these guys were, so I just went around killing all of them with my pistol that reloads every 5 shots.  In the middle of killing one of them, he used fly mode to rapidly transfer himself 10 bricks over, escaping his doom (until 2 minutes later when I owned him).  I then proceeded to click the disconnect button on the escape menu and got my ass out of there.

This has been a random blast of anger from me on the topic of trench TDMs.  Other than those reasons, I usually like them because almost every time I join a different one, something is different.

And just to rant some more, I was in a trench TDM/CTF some time ago and the host wasn't on (it was. Dedicated server).  I started to dig a stuff load of tunnels and caves and sniping paths along the edges all the way to the other team's base.  The host then came back to his server and replaced the entire battlefield saying 'you must ask me first in order to dig/build stuff.  It's a trench TDM dude, the host doesn't need to be asked to dig.

This has been another random blurt by me on Trench TDMs.

Also hate it when people shoot 'builders' even though the host had said to not kill builders in the rules. 

"Saying something" is not a valid means of enforcing a rule in a computer game.  If you want certain people to not be killed, you should program it such that it is impossible to kill them. 

Sooo....
Seeing Hothauser's rant, Build killing with me is allowed.

You can dig, but you would need someone guarding you.

I once made a trench TDM with different layers, and ores that could be mined for weapons. I fineshed the build, but then I realized I had done some of the events completely wrong, and I lost interest.

Now I'll be making one with terrain and classes. There may even be items hidden underground.

Also hate it when people shoot 'builders' even though the host had said to not kill builders in the rules.
I was actually making a mod for builder kills once but then I thought "if the host can't enforce it anyways then what the bloody heck am i doing this for".

Anyways, I made a trench CTF with handmade landscape and caves and classes and it got less popularity than one of your alleged "bland" ones we hosted before that. It got apparently boring faster too.

I am sorry for my early rant but I was pissed so ya.  I still don't like it when people kill builders.  Making classes would help with this.  Have the normal classes with digging stuff and then have a digging class without weapons but with digging tools and is invincible.  Although one disadvantage to this strategy is that people could give weapons to the invincible players and have them go in and kill people.

Dang.
