I've been hoping for something like this for awhile (hmm I think I said this last time around too). I hope this will be based on talk shows.. Maybe reports on league matches from different zones? (like what TW had with Trench Center, but SubSpace-wide!) Based on my experience, I can say that it's very hard to please listeners when it comes to music since people have very different tastes and preferences, and are very vocal about their own. With talk shows it's more universal and interesting, specially if there's cultural variety between the hosts (it's always fun to throw in a random Finn; the Finnish accent never fails to amuse!) I hope this takes off this time!

was going thru some files and found the descriptions of the old add wav sounds we used to have i think it was after a server sweep that they were removed and never added again. anyone happen to have them? i loved these sounds. specially the rumble one leaol. was perfekt for rumble ads =D 110= Lets get ready to rumble! 120= alternate beeping sound 121= green sound..when you pick up a green etc 122= Now it is time to play 123= Just when i think you say the stupidest thing ever you keep talking 124= We interupt this program to annoy you and generally iritate you 125= Lets go lets go im bored lets go 126= WAKEUP!! 127= What are you stupid cant you read 130= bugle at start of rumble 150= You meatheads what are you doin 151= I will make them pay for what theyve done 152= I will terminate him 153= I apologize for our intrusion 154= Ill take two you take one 155= It is a holographic projection 156= We are in serious troubles 157= Whos the man..huh..whos the man 158= Some of us here including me would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand

i remember him he was banned from 17th for a long time

I did some more testing... No, they don't respawn after timer runs out. Apparently only if you take -all- flags and the timer of the last flag runs out, then they do respawn. But if you don't pick upp all flags, they just disappear. If I use FlagMode=2 and CarryFlags=2 (only carry one at a time) then it will only let me pick up the first flag; after its timer runs out, it respawns the flags that I try to pick up right away, while the first flag remains in no-man's-land lol. THIS GAME IS A MONSTER!

But then they shouldn't give points since they work as normal flags then, except that they can't bee seen anywhere including stat box :/

You mean mobile and not set to turf? What's the point of that combination then? And why does it give points =x Weirdness. Glitch maybe? :/

Hi. I need flags to spawn where they are placed in .lvl, so I have flag mode set to turf. I also need those flags to be mobile, so I have CarryFlags set to yes. HOWEVER... this combination results in the flags just disappearing when their timer runs out. I need them to be owned by the team when the timer runs up, and still be possible to be taken by the other team. As it is right now, they just disappear, and even though you get points for them each periodic award, they don't actually appear under the flag count stat. Is there a way to solve this without using a bot?

People can get bored when they have to wait for a Rumble to be over after they're out too... That's why I tried to host SBL rather than Rumble when we didn't have many players on and some of them were newbies.... But that's pretty irrelevant because as I said, it's relative. So is the entertainment you speak of. As long as it's the 17th Jav, it's all good for me. Of course, nothing will beat the good ol' Rumble or JWL, but we won't reach the enjoyable standard of competition that we once had, and as far as I know, it's not even the plan. If it was, then hosting a RRL all of a sudden was a bad idea for the reasons mentioned. A 2v2 league with a flexible schedule would've been the best idea in that case, imo, and that's impossible with a RRL. I remember Emb and Cord hosting that series of DT's once... and they managed to screw something as simple as that up as well by mixing it with multiships in the middle of it.. But nop... don't remember a 2v2 League... was pretty sure it hadn't been tried before. I might be wrong... but if I am then my comment in my previous post regarding that still stands =) And btw... the queue thing works in every other zone I know of... People wait until it's their turn and then play... I don't see why it wouldn't work here (again). Hell, at the height of its popularity, 2v2 was played more than Rumble was.

I don't recall a 2v2 League ever being attempted. And my SubSpace-memory is remarkable! But if it was, then the coordinators must have been utterly incompetent since only an Elim league is easier to host than a 2v2 league, specially if you apply a flexible schedule. I'd say that's very relative really. A weaker team may also get its ass vulched and flanked in RRL all the time, and since you always play all teams then the result of each game is bound to be relatively similar; whereas in 2v2 you have the chance to shine when you face an easier team. Another important thing that should be considered is that a league should at the same time be used as a means of promotion. As such, the 2v2 gameplay is a lot more user-friendly. It's a much more simpler event, and a hell of a lot easier to get going if someone wants to play it during non-league days with a few buds. A game of Rumble requires at least 4 teams to get that Rumble feeling. The more teams participating in a Rumble, the higher quality the gameplay will have, and the more fun it will be, while the 2v2 gameplay doesn't really depend on that. But I'm looking at things from a high perspective. I did think that this RRL was going to be presented as a kind of special event. It's not a big deal, but I'm still slightly disappointed because a RRL which is bound to fail to meet the league standard of previous RRL's shouldn't be considered part of those series of seasons in my opinion! =D Not a big deal as I said, just a detail from an overly protective ... person :/

Yeah but 2v2 matches are much shorter. You could probably fit in 3 2v2 matches during the same time that it takes to host 1 RRL match... maybe more depending on the RRL rules / death limit.

Max roster = 4 Allow subs = yes (only once per player) That way everyone get to play. Perhaps Sama can make a bot command so captains easily can order the subbing. But the multiple teams per squad thing has so many flaws it's not even worth considering. Edit: Personally I wouldn't even have made a RRL. I'd start off with a 2v2 League. Much simpler, much faster to host, and not as requiring from squads / teams. But if I did decide to run a RRL, I wouldn't make it squad-based :x Another detail is the name... I wouldn't include this one on the regular Rumble League series, I'd indicate it more as a special event / league, since that's pretty much what it is. hi5 anyways.

Uhm, 2 teams per squad? And why implement such a silly thing into a RRL? How about limiting the roster size instead? 'cause this is just silly.

I never said that you said I still approve, I told you not to mislead the masses!! GG 5-0 ez pz kent'd to hell afk back PWNZ'T

You can't open it with SSME because Samapico and his accomplice infected SubSpace with their DCME-only level files. Don't mislead the masses, that approval expired days ago!! kentbrockm> i personally think this is the way to go.. i didnt want to spend much time redesigning the center, but it may have to be done to tighten it up a little.. Delic> atm i think so too kent kentbrockm> delic approves of kents work Delic> yes Delic> it has the DELIC stamp on it Delic> (expires in 12 hours) kentbrockm> lol

And where does that leave the zone? How do you expect 17th to come back if you have to go all the time... ihih Faither I think they stopped trying to bring 17th back =X Now it seems they just wanna host some events... which I don't mind =P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the big change we ALL noticed back then was when the mummy map was uploaded (out of nowhere.) Prior to that I had never seen 17th pub completely empty. To me it all began when they started making small changes on the old ships and then those small changes became bigger changes as the population decreased.

WELL SAID LARRY bmbm MY BROTHER!!

Vile? is that you? You look... different... OMAIGAWD half of your structure is gone. CIRCUS FREAK.

ROFL so obvious. funny tho. "Alex Zalban was one of the lucky few to get to try out a Mac Wheel, and spent 45 minutes typing an email to his friend."

This is probably the longest worked on SS project in history ;D Sounds like it'll be worth the wait though, I'll check it out when it's done.

at least he didn't go down without a fight. like a soulja!!!!!!! ps purge respond to my pm or i report u!!

my very very first computer game mustve been Tetris. I played it on our Mac in like 1991-92. After that we got a PC and so I found many new... DOS games that I don't know the names of, except this one racing game called Indie 2000.

not when we play sockey or 2v2 anyways ;D Which we did yesterday! Fun.

actually if all goes well I will have a temporary wireless connection today until I'm able to sort this legal issue preventing me from getting a tele line out... property got telephone bill debts... fakkin nabs. I'll confirm in this post today if I get it! high five. EDIT: Yep. I'm online @ home
