Changes to Icrontic’s TF2 server

Lincoln Russell 19 Apr, 2009 at 9:46pm ET Article published in Gaming

Well, I finally did it. Icrontic’s map pack has been updated, we have all our awesome maps back (including Warpath and SnoFort), I customized the Welcome screen, and 5-minute Sudden Death is back on. I also took the idle time limit down to 4 minutes (better run to the bathroom or go spectator) and reduced capture-the-flag matches to 3 captures.

The address is still 208.167.243.96:27015, so jump on in and add us to your favorites if you haven’t already.

Didn't know what would happen when I used HTML, so it's really just a test. I didn't want to boot everyone from the server again to keep trying new versions.
20 Apr 2009 ~ 10:15am CB So, I guess the issues with TF2 which were messing up our server settings and stuff have been fixed?
20 Apr 2009 ~ 10:20am Linc If by "fixed" you mean "ignored until Valve probably fixed it" then yes.
20 Apr 2009 ~ 10:31am CB I just remember that after one of the updates, we were having a lot of trouble keeping the server up, and sometimes it would get stuck repeating the same three levels if left alone, among other issues... I haven't really played since then, so I wasn't sure if that stuff got fixteded.
20 Apr 2009 ~ 11:08am Linc We haven't experienced those problems since switching datacenters.
20 Apr 2009 ~ 1:30pm CB I guess I've been out of the TF2 loop for a bit... :/
20 Apr 2009 ~ 1:33pm Linc Step 1: Download map pack
Step 2: See gaming schedule
20 Apr 2009 ~ 2:43pm QCH I started getting back into TF2 now that work and home schedules are a bit better. I was out for about 2 months. I'll be online tonight and definitively tomorrow!!
20 Apr 2009 ~ 2:47pm MiracleManS I think we should do some custom maps this evening!
