Relentless Witch

Weld — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:22:13 +0000

In light of the fact that we have been playing Realism more, I have disabled Relentless Witch.

That is all.

The server is up again.

Hello and welcome to the server is up again.
Today's server features Bile the World, ledge release, and a relentless witch.
Crawling made available but turned off.
Pathing coming soon.

MP5, BileTheWorld, and others

Weld — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:38:02 +0000

So the MP5 cannot be fixed by a plugin it seems - the animation itself is the issue, not the reload timer as with the SG556. The BileTheWorld plugin is broken still - my attempt at repairing it to not aggro the witch on the lowest clientid seems to have made it incapable of biling any common or witch edicts - while still biling the special infecteds.

Other things seem to be working ok but I am going to try a new system for the multislots so there is less overhead for me - hopefully I can get it set so that when 8+ join, it automatically makes the new slots and manages the bots.

Rebuilding/Updating servers

Weld — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:33:27 +0000

I am updating and possibly rebuilding the Left4Dead servers. Maybe new mods, maybe fewer mods.

I have decommissioned the CSS and CSGO servers for now - we've had many problems with both that have rendered them useless until I can reinstall them.

Locked fork

Weld — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:29:08 +0000

I have set fork 2 to be steam-group exclusive. This will require the initial connection to be made by at least one steam group member before the server will initiate a game start.

Once the game is going it will not enforce a lock on who can join.

Elevator Music

Weld — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:45:16 +0000

There is now some music in the lifts.
Haven't tested or tweaked it yet though.

Ammo and MOTD

Weld — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:15:27 +0000

It has become too cumbersome to list each of the addon campaigns in the MOTD, so I have just added a link to the downloads.

Also added Gun Control plugin and configured so the M60 and GL can resupply at ammo piles.

Witch problems

Weld — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:02:33 +0000

I have removed the witch control plugin for a few reasons: 1) I hate it, 2) I don't think anyone knew it was there, 3) it doesn't work well, and 4) I think it may be the cause of a survivor being targeted by the witch when she is biled (the plugin changes her views in weird ways that may cause her to "see" someone other than her attacker).

I will also be building a witch startle event capture to see if I can troubleshoot the problem.

Fork 2 changes

Weld — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:48:10 +0000

Made some changes to the second server.

Added dynamic paths - versus will spawn dynamic props to block paths like coop games.
Witch now tries to incap everyone. Kill her fast!

Forks!

Weld — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:41:09 +0000

Two instances of the server are now running simultaneously. We will see if the machine can handle the load (likely that it will but who knows).

I have made some modifications to the plugin options on the second to make it much plainer and closer to normal gameplay. Also I disabled god frames (sequences of animation that render the survivors invincible) on that fork, so give it a try and see if it is too hard.
