My comment from the server-announcement thread:

And TIME. This takes a LOT of time. A LOT OF TIME.

I'm not interested in CS, but PCS does interest me. It's why I'm putting the time and attention into this effort that I am. There's already a conversation underway among TG Staff to organize the server. It simply takes time.

Like... give us a month before you judge anything. I'm not talking about 72 hours here. In the meantime, if you want to be a part of this (making it happen, not ONLY enjoying it after it's been built), then bring your skill, bring your plans, and bring your PATIENCE, because THAT is what will help the server most as it becomes what we want it to again be.

I was the only admin on the CS server last night with 20 people. That's not a reasonable admin force for that number of players, which resulted, DeRanger, in your seeing an unreasonable representation of PCS. The admin force will grow, IN TIME (this hopefully closer to that 72 hour timeframe than to the month timeframe).

To tell the whole story, last night saw several VERY fine rounds, including both ancient TG regulars, contemporary TG regulars, and (dare I say) future TG regulars. Teamwork, planning, tactics around corners and through hallways... last second OMGWHATSGONNAHAPPEN moments... it was good stuff, and it was all within the bounds of the MOTD and the map's objectives. These rounds didn't dominate the evening, and they didn't happen when 20 players were on the server (with one admin), but they did happen and they will continue to happen.

Please be patient. I know it's (damn) hard. I don't know much about CS ( I suuuuck ), but I know something about building a respected teamplay server for an HL mod whose community is dominated by children and for which TG hosts a server with strict expectations. It can happen, but it takes time.

I appreciate the time you guys are taking to make the server happen. I really do. Thank you.

Re: CS sucks already

EVERY TG member that knows them should help explain PCS rules to new players on our server. Every TG member knows that FF is on and that TKing is not allowed. This rule applies to any TG server. It's common sense (except for pubbie land...). Every member knows that respect and courtesy are required on our servers. Every member knows that obscene and offensive language isn't allowed.

The other major guideline to explain to others is that we don't play team deathmatch here. Each team in CS always has an objective, whether it's defending bombsites or protecting hostages, planting a bomb or saving hostages, escorting a VIP or escaping from a defended area... Working as a team to accomplish these is always the priority on our servers. Personal stats are NOT a priority. If you're a terrorist and you have to go down with the bomb to ensure it isn't defused, so be it. That's your objective.

It'll be much easier to admin once the SDK is released and admin mod and AMX, etc. can be installed on a server. I think Wyzcrak is having trouble with rcon too but the games are frickin' great when the right group of people (regulars and newcomers) are on. I'm addicted all over again.

VERY well said!!!! I have always loved the TG CS rules, although im not quite used to them yet, so i did actedentally break the guarding part :P But i know that now, and it only took one reminder for me to listen. I love TG's style of play... i just wish everyone server was like that :\

Re: CS sucks already

Well, I finally got to play today. We've definitely got a [b]lot[b] of work ahead of us to get PCS back up and rolling... The console and commands seem to be the same as for the original CS. Will AdminMod not work with CS:S? Sure would be nice to have cSays and tSays again...

I had problems with the voice comm as well... People said I was xmitting weak. Mic is fine in TS and using MS record utility. The in-game voicecomm is horrible. Seems to be worse than the original HL voicecomm. Anyone else having troubles or have suggestions?

I'm not terribly impressed with the new game engine. It sure looks nice, but they didn't really do anything to the game at all... The flashbangs are the most impressive change in the whole game!

I have the same problem, all I can do to remedy it is speak really loudly.

Try shooting a dead body or spectating a few kills, the ragdoll physics is pretty damn nice. The overall feel of the game will take some getting used to.

Re: CS sucks already

I did see filing cabinets pushed over on cs_office today in order to block a rather important passageway. I would have agreed with your flashbang comment (damn they're awesome) until I saw that. Also, I've noticed that it's easier to use windows for disguise once they're "broken" but not shattered.

The voice codec SPEEX, which the NS HLDS server uses to sound awesome, is not yet available for SRCds.

I've only tracked AMXX, the admin mod used for NS. It has announced it will not be supporting SRCds. Instead, they're rebuilding a new mod engine for Source from the ground up (sourcemod.net).

Re: CS sucks already

If I try to start up a listen server I see an option for "Kick idlers and TKers". Does anyone know if this works well and if its enabled on the TG server?

Re: CS sucks already

I found myself kicked last night after wandering around the house unexpectedly. I wondered if the Source server had an AFK kicker built into it....
