I have �4.32 on me if it'll help buy Freeserve a big shiny AQ2 server.
I'll only spend it on Caramacs if I keep it.

OK, museum, midtown and colt **have** to be on any TP server.
Its an tradition, or an old charter or something.
(They're really good, too, which helps.)

Can't wait to play Soho on TP.  (See my first para again).

use this for all your DNS lookup needs

which informs me that the number you desire is:
195 . 92 . 193 . 72

Except museum, which is a bit arse because people keep roof-camping and 
not coming down even when it's one-on-one. Grrr. And the shitty texturing 
on colt is beginning to annoy me. if I was any good at art I'd replace 
them, but I'm not.

Okay, suggestions:
Ditch jungle1 and add actcity3, blood, urban2, midtownx and riot. Might 
like to give downtown a try, too.
Actually, why not just chuck a whole load of maps into the loop? It would 
also be a good way of determining what's popular and what ain't.

Funny you should say that, but my personal opinion is that museum and
colt are the best TP levels by a factor of about 1000.
Funny thing, taste, innit? :)))

Midtownx or midtown *must* get on there, they're superb when you know
all the underground passage entrances!
Actcity3 is snipersville - not my idea of fun.

>Actually, why not just chuck a whole load of maps into the loop? It would

I think the HD space is really limited, or we would shurely have nagged
Paul into doing it by now.

While I'm here, last night I logged onto the TP server (it was on port
27995 so I think its the right one) and it was playing DM.

Was I heavily drunk or have aliens captured the TP server?

I didn't say they were *bad*, per se, I just don't like certain aspects 
of them. If we could get _proper_ teamplay going on those levels (like we 
were talking about in that other thread) I'd probably feel better about 
the whole thing.

'cos if he did that then any new customers might think...
"wow what a piece of crap map rotation this is"
and bugger off for good.  Not something you want when you need players to
keep the server up.

at least..I assume this is why you don't :-)

Harddrive space is at a real premium at the moment.  It's going to be a
press to get CTB on with a reasonable map selection.  Not a heavy press,
but enough...

I dunno about the first, but it does look like the aliens got the
server.  Is this the first time it has done that?

It's back as TP again, now, but I have a sneaking suspicion that either
the rcon password has leaked, or something has screwed up with my config
files.

Personally, I'm not a fan of sprawling map lists anyhow, but disk space
is also a defining factor.

For the moment, there doesn't seem to be a lack of people using the
server. :)  I'm up for keeping them around.  I'm not about to be
customer hunting for Freeserve on my spare time! ;)

Well, I checked back on the server late this evening and it seemed to be
doing TP.  Which is really odd because I've only moved one line in the
config file... (but now I come to think of it, it was the line that
designated starting map).  Odd.  Still, it should be fixed now.  Let me
know if it screws up again.
