Had a funny moment tonight. Some friends and I logged into the TF2 server to play a bit and we found a french hacker and his buddy on there.  The hacker was a demoman self ubered at all times. Since I believe in playing fair I felt it would only be right that I de-uber him with sourcemod and surround them with exploding pumpkins. They both left not too long after, then I banned them.

On that note the servers have been getting some nice traffic! TF2 is busier than ever, even the deathmatch server gets people on it more often,a nd I saw some connections to the gmod server when I got home from work. If anyone is ever up for a game with me feel free to join in. Unless you’re an asshat. Then you’re probably already banned.

Yay moar nerd mumbo jumbo.

Took care of HL2DM. Not only are the maps synced up with the client/webserver, I also installed metamod/sourcemod and added quakemod. It isn’t much but we’ll see how it goes. The HL2DM server is pretty quiet anyway.

TF2 server has been running with a good steady pace of traffic though. Files seem to be downloading at a quick pace so that’s good. I even renewed my account with bluehost tonight. Now I won’t have to worry about paying for another year. I guess the next task will be to upgrade phpBB3. That’ll be at my end though, not through bluehost.

Had an interesting start to my day today. Thought I had to be in at 4, turned out it was 2… I don’t feel too bad though. It’s the first time I’ve been late for work in nearly 3 years. I made it in at about 2:45 today. Oh well.

Well, I managed to get files to download to clients connecting to my TF2 and gmod servers! I did most of gmod last night and almost all of TF2. Now I’m syncronizing maps between my webhost, client and server. Went through the logs just a bit ago and it looks like I got some traffic that way. Good thing I went with an unlimited plan. The next server project will be the HL2DM server. There are some customizations/improvements I can make to that one.

Early Morning Open Thread

Garry recently fixed Garrysmod servers for Linux (w00t no more segfaults!) so I have that back online now. Been trying to figure out why the fuck it doesn’t load other gamemodes though. I’m trying to run elevator source and all I can get running is the map itself. gamemode stays at sandbox no matter what I do. This will require more research.

On another note I won a couple auctions today! Got a ThermalTake Frio and a Radeon HD 6950 coming in the mail. Once those come in I’ll play with some overclocking on my i5 2500k. Did some Portal 2 with BOD. We’re good at science! And by good I mean we didn’t know what we were doing! But we made it through last years DLC. Kinda sad because I played it before with Yutram, only once though. Old memory and all that jazz.

Did some more script writing tonight. Thought I got myself stuck in a corner but managed to find a way around it. I’ll go sleep on it a bit and see if I can come up with anymore mindfuckery.

One of the semi slack things I did today was play with the SNews website a bit. Feel free to give it a look http://www.guildofslackers.com/snews/
