Hello, shalom, priveit, marhaba and many more greetings in languages that I dont know and\or bother to write.
Some people might recognize me from the PH server, as I play most of the time there, and as I wasted most of my 4-5 months on playin TF2 on gaming master servers, I said why not join the forums, so... Herrow!
mah nam is Yan, and if you didn't figure yet, my last name is Orlov(not my fault I have no imagination in picking nick names, blame video games!)... and i'm russian :)

So... I realy dont have much more to say now, so, I hope I have fun in the forums, or mad house, depends how you look at it :)

Well, I seem to lurk around on the prophunt server since it seems to be the only decent one I can find. Some of you probably know me, yes I can be a bit of a mad person at times. :bang:

GM Game-Key Lottery

Obaruler — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:43:32 GMT

As some of you might know, at GamesCom 2010 in Cologne Valve had its own Steam/Portal 2 stand, and they were giving away keys to everyone that asked for it. Well, me and my mates who have been there asked them several times during our 4 days there, and after I gifted a few keys to guys that I know they wanted to have these keys I still have some left here and don't know what to do with it but gift them to anyone.

Also, i got quite a few PNs concerning these keys, in fact more than i have left, so I thought about a possibility to spread these keys in a fair way without breaking anyones heart or beeing a douche to someone closer that asked me. So i decided to make it the only fair way I can imagine for this case and let your fortune decide, means: I am making a little lottery.

Which keys are be talking about here?

Well, these aren't Portal 2 Beta Keys (goddamn, I know :-/), they are keys for allready released Valve Games, I won't put any TF2 keys in here, since everyone of you strangers ended up in this Forum because you saw a link on our TF2 servers i guess, so these won't be part of this (unless you find a good reason why you need another key of course :P). The keys I've got left are:

3x L4D2
1x L4D
4x Portal

NOTE! These keys unlock TWO copies of these games, one for you and you still have 1 copy left to gift it arround

(Also 1x Lead & Gold and 1x Shattered Horrizon key that someone else gifted to me and that i haven't used yet ... won't be part of this here either, dunno what to do with it yet, and some other keys, even for Hl2 + Epi1+2,and additional keys of the listed games, but these are planed away for RL friends that i want to "convince" to Steam with it, sry ;-) ...)

Please note that these are GERMAN keys, and that the german L4D1/2 are a bit cut, means: No cutted-off limbs, no (optically) burning zombies and corpses disappear after a few seconds. You might be able to switch this somehow if you contact the Steam Support and tell them you are non-german, but I cannot asure that, so be warned: Once you get a cut copy you might have a cut version at your account of these games forever. If you don't care about this since it doesnt influence the gameplay itself it doesnt matter anyways.

How can I win these keys?
It's pretty simple:

- DON'T PN-Spam me with a request! (If you do, you're out :P)

- Simply write a comment within the next 7 days in this thread, even if it's a simple "Goat" or "Derp", anything counts PLUS the game you want (multiple wishes are allowed, but pls be fair: If you allready have Portal or L4D2 for example, don't try to win another key, only evil and selfish germans do so ... )

- After these 7 days I will write all your names down on pieces of paper and let the fortune decide which names I pick out for EACH kind of game key seperately, but you cannot win more than 1 key, I will ask you in case if that happens which key you prefer before i continue with picking the names out

EDIT: Additional Rule:
- Only real Community Members can be part of this lottery, proove somehow that you are interested in our forum and that you are not just here to possibly win a key. At least a few hours played on our servers (we log everyone that comes to them, don't worry ;) ), or more than 10 (serious!) Postings are necessesary to be free'd from the suspicion of beeing a key troll.

Pls note that it will be really nothing but pure luck that will decide about the key's new owner, it doesnt matter if you are a manager (mhh ... hopefully they won't threaten me now for keys D: ), Admin, Clan Member, PropHunt Admin or simply a Community member, this here is free for everyone and everyone got the same chances, to proove it I might record my little paper lottery if you don't trust a german (which i can understand, we are evil).

Well, good luck to everyone. And keep visiting the site, GM ftw. = )

The Map Feedback System

Geitiegg — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:07:35 GMT

http://gamingmasters.co.uk/feedback/

Over the last few months I've been trying to think of ways to use training annotations in a way that is suitable to their current implementation (They only work in single player) and then it hit me on saturday - They could be used for easy, clear and accurate feedback on maps in development, a few days later and we have this:

Comments were made on a live prophunt server by myself and are being viewed on a local listen server

So, What do we have? - We have:

The ability for players to target any location that they wish in the map and give a piece of feedback through !annotate - If an annotation already exists at the location, they cannot place another.
The abilty for people interested in the feedback to load up the map in single player and view it.
The ability for the map author to delete annotations once he has seen them via !deleteannotation
A web panel where annotations and general feedback (given via !feedback) is aggregated and authors can login via Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/dev) to claim their map and be able to moderate the annotations, feedback, (and change map information, and upload map screenshots. - Not yet done)

Why is this better than just posting feedback on a forum?

Posting feedback can be a hassle, you have to take a screenshot of the issue and post up reproduction steps. With this, you take a quick break from the game to type something and the map author can come back and see exactly what you wrote and where at a later date, without the need of location descriptions or screenshots.

***
Commands are: !annotate which provides targeted (location reference) feedback and !feedback which provides generic feedback.

Map authors can view the annotations in game by installing Sourcemod/MM:S on their local machine and using this plugin: http://gamingmasters.co.uk/feedback/feedback.smx - Please be wary that many servers do not allow the running of sourcemod/metamod while you are playing on them and will kick you until you unload it, to unload both sourcemod/metamod, simply move metamod.vdf out of the addons root dir.

Map authors can delete annotations from within the game with !deleteannotation, please note that the map must be yours for this to work.

Let me know what you think - And be sure to put it to good use!

Happy BDay Micky

*Does Not Contain Any Fists*

This is a little entertaining game pretty much in the style of Metal Slug Series or Alien Soldier, just run, jump and shoot...

It features awesome music and pretty decent pixel art (except for the main characters that suck)

Also, it is fun to play, so is worth a playtrough

You can get it from HERE

Did i said that is FREE?

Hey Guys

Probably old, but it wins hard enough to be posted multiple times.

You play as a mentally retarded blue (or gray) dude (with cpu, up to 4 players. Green and brown are always cpu). Controls are nigh impossible, and the dudes stumble over everything one can possibly stumble over. A very fun time waster.

You can also make your own maps and mods, but most of the stuff (except 2 player / 1 vs cpu) requires you to buy the game. Full game is $4,50.

Of course there are no TF2 voices in the game, but I'm pretty sure there are mods for it.

Sadly, it's offline only.

Random crashes D:

NGin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:04:35 GMT

"Can't load lump 53, allocation of 11846321 bytes failed!!!" Is what I get when a server I'm on changes level. Interestingly enough, it's only on GM servers where I don't see that error. Explanation of this error anyone?

New Map: ph_kakariko (zelda)

Beetle — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:10:53 GMT

Let's get a bit silly for a second...
This is a prophunt version of my TF2 version of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past's Kakariko Village. It has more props in it than it appears to have in the screen shot.

Jukebox for Source

El Zilcho — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:54:07 GMT

Does anyone else have any problems while using the jukebox feature, or is it just me? Whenever I try to play any songs, I can't hear anything, even with my speaker volume and the volume control in the jb menu up high. Is there any fix for this? Anything I need to download? Thank you :D
