HL2DM Public Server 1 updated !

Post by Cynyx »

After several weeks of testing the E=mc² server... I have noted comments of players ... and totaly reseted (in order to be more clean) the server with some new features :

-> New version of many : 1.2n rc2.12
-> Votemap enabled
-> Score Save on crashes
-> Epacs enabled (tested : not works)
-> Cycle map updated
-> No intro sound

me too ... but many players complained about it. So I prefer to remove it.

I found a new method to play sound at the beginning. I think now intro sound should'nt be a problem for ping.

An intro sound is really cool. I want to be warned when the round begins. So, i seek a short sound to put on E=mc² server intro. Like a "Welcome on E=mc²" sound.

I have an english question (perhaps KIO) : how to prononce E=mc² in english : e equals m c square or e equals m c two ?

Hmmm. Maybe :"Einstein is greeting you", or "welcome to Einstein`s favorite server"...."The Gods made this server, and they saw what it was good"...
KIO give pleaze right english variants of this phrases.

Cynyx,
Its: E m c squared.. or e equals m c squared...

Federalic,
Your sentences are right, apart from the last one: "Gods made this server, and they saw that it was good".. But I am not sure about how correct the style is.... I, personally, dont think it should be something like that...
I suggest "Everything is relative, welcome to E m c squared".. or something like that.. it should be clear and short... A neutral voice is needed, so, either record it using a persons voice, or use a talking machine.. Thats what i suggest...

i can make some effect or music on it after ... but i want to be sure of the sentence is really good. Test the tools... and give me good sentences.

Cynyx, not to bother sending you the audio file:):
try putting Crystal -US English (the first one) and the sentence is:
"Think relative. Welcome to e m c squared".. it sounds good, but the "e m c squared" is a bit weird.. so either you try to decrease the pauses, or i can do it... but I am not good with addind effects:).. so, you decide... I suggest this, sounds a bit like "portals":)..

To active admin option; and show the admin menu :
type in console :

Code: Select all

admin


I suggest to you bind a key for that :

Code: Select all

bind "F1" "admin"
so in game, press F1 + Escape key ... and you have the admin menu.


Some advice about admin functions

Be good moderators !

Don't abuse of the map change command :
-> don't change it, if you loose
-> don't change it, if i'm here
-> don't change it when you entered on the server and players are already playing. Let's them finished their match before you change.

Concerning Gimped Player function : don't abuse. Gimp only players who swears.

If a player reports an abuse from one of E=mc² member, or if i see it in log... I remove his feature. If experiment is nice, E=mc² members will become full admin one day as i have said some times ago...
