The Andromeda Cup

[BiGbOsS]

This has nothing to do about the above post but since this is "the thread"
im on right now training if any of you want to join me

The Long Corridor 2006 has been used as a contest map in the past. I think the idea was to see who could complete it in the least time. The map was designed from the get go to be a team effort map. So once a record is set, any team that can set a new, better, record time will have shown the most and best teamwork to get the job done.

That's exactly what I was shooting for. The problem with LC is that you can pretty much dodge your way through most of the confrontation. At least on Androm you are forced to complete sections.

What's that other map with the lower floors with doors A1 A2 B1 B2 that has all the different areas? That's another good map to consider because it has loads of assorted challenges. I just don't care for all the super weaponry. If you guys want to throw up several maps and pick one, I honestly don't care. This is for you all, so you decide what you want to do.

OK guys the server is running here:
66.55.159.229:7777

or you can look in the monsterhunt browser for "Andromeda Cup". The password is:
andromeda

I'll add mapvote later so the server can be reset by players as they like.

Scotty, just one more thing, could you add the Valhalla Avatar mutator on the server as well? So players would be able to use stats and custom skins (mostly stats).

Note: the server has antiboost protection enabled.
Either press TAB or open your console and type:
mutate boost if you need to be boosted/boost yourselves
mutate noboost to turn it off.

[gopostal]

I'll get it installed tomorrow and running. I put the boost in so players could control whether they used it or not.

[gopostal]

OK I added val av but its making the players look all funky, like there is two skins. Let me know if you guy see the same thing or if it is just me.

I'm getting an odd server crash on map timeout if no one is on the server. I added nexgen to try to control that, and it gives the added benefit of allowing people to control map restart. Get with me and I'll add you to the controller. It has to be done ingame but only takes a second.

Herm I'm sending you a pm concerning server access and logs. You are welcome to oversee anything you feel the need to look at. You will have unrestricted access.

Also Skillz has requested that PMH players NOT use PMH. We are coming up with an alternate tag so for now can we be {TOG} (those other guys)

First of all, I really like the cup Hellfire designed

Now, some suggestions:

-I've been playing on the Andromeda server for almost an hour. I've made it until the skaarj part, when I got to leave because I had to do some stuff. I've died only once because a manta pushed me down on the portals. Then I made the pupae, gasbag, underwater and krall part without dying once. Because I'm not very good at the BT part I only unlocked the thigh pads. I was alone all the time. That leads me to believe that we could set up a maximum of 5 lives for player. I'm sure MHM peeps won't need more than 3 lives, but I'm thinking of 5 because of PMH guys

-Please, remove that 500+ health part; we don't have it in MHM and I believe it's not present on PMH also.

-I've seen that Skillz on PMH has suggested some TMH. What do you guys think? Are you up for some TMH? I'll suggest a TDM map too, if you want.

That's it. This is awesome!

Perfect Hellfire!! Can you post the raw jpg as an attachment or email it to me? I'll get the page built this evening.

I'll add some TMH to the mix also. Try to get it this evening.

The attachment works? I can't download it..
In case it don't work I email it right now to you..

Got it, thank you! Soon as the webpage is built, I'll get it posted here.

Guys I really need a couple of people to be team leaders from here. I want to give server access so it can be restarted if it shuts down. I'm trying to fix it and I have it narrowed to when it mapchanges on it's own when it times out. I just dont know whats doing it.

This server is more like a cup scrimmage clan server where most everyone can access server controls. Don't be shy, you can't screw it up (much). I gave Reiyel max server admin and he can add you to the server controller and show you how to use it if I'm not around. PLEASE PLEASE don't mess with any settings other than restarting maps. Nexgen is a very powerful tool and if you don't know what you are doing you can really screw the server up "trying things". The settings are where they need to be and nothing should be changed is all I ask. When you get on just type into chat:
!open
just like that. Exclamation then the word open. This will bring up the console and you can access the controls. Nothing in there will allow any cheating and all access to the nexgen is logged so all is fair.

Thanks for hopping on board this thing and I hope within the week we can get some scores up to work towards.

-Please, remove that 500+ health part; we don't have it in MHM and I believe it's not present on PMH also.

Yes please, no random health bonus. Oh and what's that Nexus console? It looks like the old ASC but it's different. I don't like the "anti-idler" feature, plus it's pointless in MH in my opinion, is it possible to disable that?
However thanks for adding the Valhalla Avatar mutator

[Edit]

When you get on just type into chat:
!open
just like that. Exclamation then the word open. This will bring up the console and you can access the controls.

mutate asc#get#window keybind works fine for me
I still need to sort out the mutate boost / noboost command

[gopostal]

I thought I had disabled the anti-idle thing. I'll recheck it.

In console just type:
mutate boost
or
mutate noboost

to turn it off or on. It is off by default.

Basic website is up:

I'll add to it every day as I have time. Give me a team listing and I'll add it.

Guys:

- I've seen the Andromeda website. Looks nice. Well, about the teams, looks like there will be two teams from each side. Each team will have three members, being six members in total by side. Looking at the thread Hellfire started (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1277) we have by now six or seven MHM'ers. Do you believe we could start setting up the teams now or we should wait for more MHM'ers?

- On the server there are some MH maps and some TMH maps. I understand that the competition goes like this:

A team plays Andromeda and post it's score as a record. Then the other side teams must try to break that record. The side with the best record wins, right? With this both sides (MHM and PHM) do not need to play together; just post their records.

For TMH, however, we need that both sides play together. We need to agree on a time and a date for that with PMH guys.

- And finally, I've suggested mostly as a joke to add some TDM to the competition. But would you guys like to Scotty add also a TDM map? I was thinking on very common and easy maps, like Deck16, but it's up to you guys.

(...)Guys I really need a couple of people to be team leaders from here. I want to give server access so it can be restarted if it shuts down. I'm trying to fix it and I have it narrowed to when it mapchanges on it's own when it times out. I just dont know whats doing it.(...)
(...)I gave Reiyel max server admin and he can add you to the server controller and show you how to use it if I'm not around.

For a team leader, maybe POTS or Hellfire. Thnks Scotty for giving me the access but, as I told you, I have no idea on how to admin that. I might screw the server , I've never been an admin of any server or forum. I also don't have a clue on how using FTP.

What do you think guys?
