ovrp_c15_v1 ideas.

NOTE: Don't post your ideas as comments! They will be ignored.

It's pretty simple. I'm making a map from scratch, for us, and i need ideas from people to dicide what goes into it. I'm pretty low on ideas, so let's make this cool with your ideas. The link to post your ideas is here:

Thanks for reading, and don't post anything dumb.

Screenshots soon!

ovrp_c18_v1_3 is released!

El Jameo — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:23:51 +0000

I'll make this short and sweet cause it always was. :D

NEW FEATURES:
CP checkpoint at spawn. WARNING!: The door doesn't open at spawn, unless a CP is operating the door. If you are an admin, please go CP (or let a CP in...) to operate the door (CONTROLS: Blue button - Open Main door for citizens to pass through | No colour button - Allows CP door to open so CP's can walk into the checkpoint).

S-3 is now more explorable. You can now jump accross rooftops to get to places. However...

S-3 can be bombed by the CA! That's right, built in headcrab canisters! Three modes:
Easy = Green (Spawns normal headcrabs x6). CANISTERS: 6
Medium = Yellow (Spawns Fast headcrabs x6). CANISTERS: 6
Hard = Red (Spawns Poison AND Fast headcrabs x6). CANISTERS: 6
Off = Blue (Stops the siren going off and the alarms, but it won't remove the canisters).
IF YOU ABUSE THE CANISTERS YOU COULD BE FACING A PERMA BAN! IT CAN CRASH THE SERVER AND BE A REASON FOR MINGING! YOU MAY ONLY FIRE THE CANISTERS UNDER ADMIN PERMISSION! DO NOT FIRE ALL CANISTERS AT ONCE! ONLY PRESS ONE COLOUR BUTTON (blue is an exception, please please don't keep pressing that either)!

AI Noded S-3! So the headcrabs are sma3t. :P

Respawning crates in S-3. These are for the rebels to give to the citizens as supplies (sorry, no guns peeps).

Added fence leading to S-3.

CP training next to prison:
Green = 45 secs
Yellow = 30 secs
Red = 15 secs
NOTE: Make sure all respawnable breenbusts are destroyed! Or you could spawn multiple breenbusts! Same rules aplied above for the canisters.

Added Health dispencer in plaza. Only use if needed!

Little extras as well that I can't remember (lol).

If the server crashes, the map will goto ovrp_c18_v1_2. Reason being because otherwise players will get stuck by checkpoint if no admin is on. However admins can change back to the new map version.

Please do not abuse. Enjoy roleplay.

Important thread on forums!

Well, it's not so important, but it might be to you. I won't explain much here but I'll give you the link and you post what you make of it. Here's the link:

http://overwatchroleplay.freeforums.org/hl2-beta-pack-addon-t79.html

Thanks for reading this short message, not much of an announcment, but... ah fuck it. I'll tell you what else I'm planning on working on:

ovrp_c18_v1_3 will be AI noded. So if the combine bomb the slums, the headcrabs won't be stupid (or we hope anyway...).

I'm trying to boost my lua skills to shove in some more derma for us. So far it's a slow but steady pace and I feel like i'm doing well. I have put in a dropweapon command (as most of you already know about) of which you can drop your current weapon by typing: ovrp_dropweapon in console. Also, when you die, you drop your current weapon (like your SMG for ex.).
NOTE: Dropped your hands? You can spawn yourself a pair from your weapons menu (yes we enabled it for everyone to spawn).

I plan on TRYING to edit cakescript a little further, but so far, i'm not so bothered because of the due soon CakescriptG3 that's coming out, so I think we'll wait for that. :)

Thanks for reading!

Restarting...

El Jameo — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:28:30 +0000

Ok, this page is turning into a fight club and that's the last thing we should be doing. I think we should just restart again and forget all this silly fighting, I'm sure everyone would agree.

So, to make things even and less stupid, here's how I think we should do it:
RYAN: Just calm down a little and don't get overworked about someone saying they're better than you. Me, you and Sniper are equal. No-one is more powerful than the other. That's what VALVe do. ALL the members of VALVe don't control each other. There's no "manager" who controls everyone, everyone goes thier own way, and I think we should do the same.
SNIPER: You get angry to much, we had the chat that you started, I listened, went against some of your points a little, and you went rioting, which is what also made me angry. So like Ryan said, let's just forget all this shit and start over again. Me and Ryan have arguments a lot of he time, and we eventually get over it (and find something else to shout about, lol). So let's just cool it. I'll let you be admin again if you agree.
JAMEO (me, I think): As for me, I shall try not to get power-hungry if that's how other people felt about me, or what I was doing. I will not act like I own you guys, and although I do most of the work, you guys deserve as much respect as I do, maybe more.

Is that OK? I'm sure everyone else would agree.

Merry Christmas! :D

El Jameo — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:27:32 +0000

It's nearly Christmas (well duh...) and to celebrate as much as I can, i'm releasing ovrp_c18_v1_2 on to the server.

CHANGES:
More ladders in slums, so the rebels can get onto the roofs more.

Combine fences (around Sector 2) which will hopefully make everyone stay in the centre of the city instead of hiding in the slums (only Rebels are allowed into the slums really, but if your sneaky, you can get in there :P ).

More armory light. It was dark and scary in there... D:

Few patches that didn't have snow on them when they should of have.

Removed the error (texture) in the armory.

Now, the bad news... :( :
I WON'T BE HERE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY! D'; Mainly because I'm going to the hospital for a personal reason... some of you already know why, but i'd rather not have it go too public...

But anyway, one final message to say Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year from me and (if he cared :P ) Ryan.

HAVE FUN! :D

Server's back up!

El Jameo — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:27:51 +0000

YAY! The server is back up! Sure it was down for only a few couple of hours, but it's all better now ain't it?

For the record, all our data is still there. So your flags and shit are still the same.

But a big thanks to Tah Christmas Sniper who donated £0.53 to us.

NEXT MONTH:
We may have been saved now, but hell we are still out of money. We have to pay next month's invoice by the 1/20/10 or the server will go down again.

Thanks for reading. NOW GO ROLEPLAY!!! :D

Server's down

El Jameo — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:48:49 +0000

Why? Because we're out of money. Simple as that. Unfotionatly, the due date was the 12th of December, so really I was late paying. We still have our server, but it has been suspended until we pay.

For the record, I think some of you should donate. I am literally 24 cents off from paying.

I would recommend that you guys pay soon. Or Xexon Servers might (if they hopefully already haven't) wipe our server clean. This means ALL OF YOUR CHARACTER INFOMATION WILL BE LOST!

I think I've made my point. If you really care for the server, please donate (Via PayPal) to james@intralan.co.uk.

Nuff said.

ovrp_c18_v1_1 is on the server!

El Jameo — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:18:40 +0000

NOTE: No, it is not on gmod.org.

Here it is people! The part you've been waiting for! Sorry it took so long, stupid compile errors. :P

But now it's here and it works! Here's what I put in:

Armory inside the nexus + barricade.

SNOW! YAY!!! :D For that christmasy feel. :) (Yes, it does also fall from the sky).

A few extra ladders for the rebels so they can scout the roofs.

More helicopter space so the heli's can go into the slums (sorry if some places get a bit tight, the map would of started to leak otherwise).

Things that I couldn't do:

A massive sand area around the city. Unfortionatly, Source only allows up to a MAX_MAP_BRUSHSIDES of 65536 and humilliation (the original mapper) pretty much used up as much as he could. I had to delete a few parts of the map to get it working!

Well, I hope you guys like it. I'm quite proud of myself, dispite the fact it's released quite late, but I'll try to fit in some metro-police snow suits if possible.

So, I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at OverwatchRP!!! :D

We need a little money!

El Jameo — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:50:19 +0000

No joke here people, I am SO close to paying this months server rent. In fact, to give you an idea of how close I am, I need 24 more cents to pay for this month.

We need donations. Even if it's just 1$, It would be appreciated.

If this isn't paid by 26th December, the server will go down.

We have rp_c18_v1.vmf!

El Jameo — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:29:47 +0000

Great news! I have just been allowed to edit and release rp_c18_v1 as my own map! Now I can make it specific to our server! :D

In fact, I will now do extra things like for example, if we get another server in the future, I can do a little "train" that will teleport you between maps/servers!

what's more, for those who think I just de-compiled it and tried to re-make it like that, de-compiling dosen't work. You can edit the .vmf, but it bugs and won't compile properly. With the original vmf, I can have everything perfectly correct!

So expect a new map on our server soon! :D

FETURES:
More helicopter space so that helis can go into slums.

Ammo for the combine in the nexus, plus little exta fetures in there. :P

A MASSIVE piece of sand and grass for the rebels outside the city. I will try to somehow make the slums link to it! Also, it will have little wooden broken huts around. :)

Should there be NPC's in the city? I'll think about it...

AI noding I will try to add.

Bugs I will try to fix.

Anything else like suggestions below would be helpful! This might take a few days to make but it'll be worth it!

Thanks for reading! :D
