Beginners Mod change (archived by Joint_PK)

[yourdog]

Why is everyone always negative? Why moan about the current situation when you don't have the balls to make a change. Atleast yourdog is trying to make his server more active, you should place yourself in his perspective.

thank you antho.

instat of complaining u seems to be the only one that understands this situation.

that we are out of members and we had no activity anymore.

You want to improve server? Ok, then do this things:
1)Change mod to jaymod
2)Use same settings of ND
3)Create a good campaign of non-stock maps

This would be the ONLY way this server would work... you can keep changing mod or adding maps but since NoDownload server is untouchable what would really work is something like "|TWC| JAYMOD", a ND2 but with custom maps instead.

I would be playing it it too! It would be even better if we could use existing ND user.db but i think that it could be harmful to ND...

Only this way it will work. People like ND, we should try to expand it for more "mature" players who are bored of playing the stock maps.

Hmm, why Jaymod? Because , there is not wrong with Silent, except that is newer and more popular than Jaymod. Silent is as far as i know, updated, there are a lot shrubot admin comads, and the gameplay also feels a lot better, comparing to Jaymod.
And another question, why trying the same settings as ND , when there are a lot of players who dont like getting panzerd every 2 seconds or spammed with molotov coktails, poison gas etc.
I like the idea of a non stock maps campaign, but i think we should get rid of the idea that... wow, ND is the best, lets make a copy of it, but with different maps. Sorry Teamate, but thats just the way i see things, the only way to create something interesting is to create something different

I think ND is a good place to start for making a new server... I don't know if using yet another mod with other settings will make people play in the server... if we use same ND settings we'll have a far greater audience... ET is dying, is the mod so important after all?

The only thing i would change is the heavy weapon damage and maybe poison gas/molotov.

Ofc it need to be advertised... it's useless to run a server when it's not advertised on the other ones (like ND or HS).

We need to found 5-6 ppl dedicated to create a GREAT server...
first names out of my mind: Yourdog, Chuck, Chris, Storch, Andre (if he gets his connection working) and me

Yourdog what you think?

if i manage to get connection next week together with monitor, im back on road on et, and sure im up for it, 100%. i agree with reasons stated above.

This could be a good campaign IMHO... i selected medium-large sized maps (supply is the only small one) that could work pretty well with ND settings... these are also some of the the most played so a lot of players could easily have these maps already

venice


caen 2


mlb temple


snatch 3


frostbite


warbell (or trasmitter)


goldrush ga


supply depot 2


bremen


streets of italy


P.S. ABSOLUTELY no soundpacks or things like that!!

[Antho]

Should add the etpro version of bremen though.

Even though I don't play ET anymore, for me, the maps you listed are fine except for temple and snatch. Temple, can get frustratingly boring if there is a lack of players, and usually if the last stages are not completed in a quick succession, usually it turns into a camper's paradise. On the other hand, snatch is a rather good map for a limited number of players. With a large player base, the bride areas become spammed with grenades / arty / rifle grenades etc...

On most other maps listed, clusterfucks are not as common.

Good luck with the changes mate.

Adlernest, v2 base and Special Delivery TE are good map as well
