MAP DOWNLOAD SECTIONLast update: 27 JanThis is done amid a map download issue we have had - users would receive a 'missing map' error when the server was running a custom map. Thus, I recommend you all to download all of these maps and install them. This also helps with reducing download times and saving server bandwidth.
Installation of files go to these directories, depending on OS:
Windows - \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<your Steam username>\team fortress 2\tf\
(32-bit users lack an x86 part)Mac OS - /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/<your Steam username>/team fortress 2/tf/
(Lion users: unhide the Library directory first via Terminal!)Follow the included readmes for install (Mac users may have to adjust the instructions with the path above for their OS).
Should one not be included: BSP files go into /maps; some also have /materials, /media, and even a /tf superfolder with the rest in there. Copy these folders to your tf directory; in the case of superfolder, open it up first then copy /maps, /materials, etc. to the main TF2 directory.
Mac User Note: Snow Leopard users must individually go to each folder and copy file-by-file, path-by-path due to how Finder works.
Lion users don't have to do this but must select the middle option in the copy dialog box (whose name I don't know off-hand).

*historical information*
This meet was too good.
Plenty of Randomizer action to start things and cause a fun commotion (complete with silly voice chats, text, and Bigode playing SD-90 previews :V), followed by a bit of vanilla. That was quickly overriden with a vote to go VSH to have fun with flying Hales, derp deaths, and plenty of failstabs; afterwards, more vanilla with admin power stupidity :V. Also a ton of lag early on, a server restart, map download issues (which left all of us to stock maps), and a server crash....
So, I'll have all of you download the maps we use separately to cut on this (VSH model downloading, however, seems to work fine). Crossed-out maps are those I am requesting replacement.
*not anymore, see above*
Part 2 - more server information! (because the MC server thread mentions similar, so why not here as well?)
Actual location of the server is in NJ, so ping may be high for players based in areas outside east-central US and Canada.
And what about the plugins?
GENERAL/UTILITY:
- SourceMod (the bare essentials)
- TF2Items (Randomiser + special FF2 items)
- Bot Weapon Randomizer (allows bots to use unlock weapons, hats)
- gScramble (better known to many as !votescramble)
- Automatic Bot Names (because it's more fun that way)
- Class Restrictions (no team needs 6 Snipers)
GAMEMODES:
- Freak Fortress 2 v1.03 (VSH just got a heck of a lot crazier)
FUN-ORIENTED:
- Horsemann Spawner (had to do that after a fun 5-horsemann game on another server :3)
- Monoculus Spawner (to complement HHH spawner)
- FunCommandsX (has a few utility tools but more for fun - disco mode go)
- Fake Item Messages (just to mess with you all)
- Give Weapon (for what I call VS. Admin Mode
)
(there may be more that I'm not aware of)
Third portion - future stuff
I think another meet during the Chinese New Year may be a good idea, with a similar layout.
Here are some more addons I think would be a nice idea.
- Taunt Crits (set to just mini-crits for 2-3 seconds, partly to balance for VSH)
- TF2Ware
- Amplifier
- More VSH/Arena maps (West, Oilrig, Timbertown, etc.) Useful for Arena and Randomizer too (after all Randomizer was meant to be played with Arena mode :V).
Well, if you have anything else in consideration feel free to suggest it! ^^
