New Server!

Mon, 29 Sep 2014 05:07:55 +0000

We now have another TF2 server up at 68.232.164.14:27015!
It runs custom maps, and supports RTV and Nominate so players can choose which ones to play. I'm also willing to add most maps to it, aside from Deathmatch/Objectiveless maps, to avoid overlapping with the Mario_Kart server. I may even consider certain Deathmatch maps, if there are enough people that want it. Right now, we have all of our other TF2 admins also added here as admin, in addition to Geek/Uberchain. There will also be modifications applied to weapon reskins in the near future, to increase weapon variety.
Feel free to post any map/plugin recommendations, as well as issues you may be having. Enjoy!

My Official Resignation

Sun, 31 Aug 2014 09:07:09 +0000

I've given this some thought for more than a few months and I think after the events of this night, my mind has been made up for me.

I concede.

I've done all I could to help the server and I feel all I've done is make it worse. To everyone that I've upset in the time that I've been admin of the TF2 server, I sincerely apologize. I'm simply a man trying to get along. I'm just a guy trying to do what he thinks is right, as is everyone else.

I really don't care anymore and that's the problem. I'm done. I don't care anymore. Betrayed by myself, I can't care at a time like this. Those that I would call friend have always been closer to my heart than family. I would give my life for my friends and that's what kills me. Ironically, I read something just last week.

"Sometimes, the friends that you would take a bullet for are the ones behind the gun"

For all the fun times we shared - I will always love you, my friends.
Ok, mellodrama aside, I'll still be on steam. Keep me on your list - delete me - it doesn't matter. Like I said, I'm pretty much dead inside atm. GG EVERYONE!

EDIT: I'd just like to add.. that I was wrong. I was the one holding the grudge the entire time without even realizing it. For what I've done to you, Composer, sorry won't do you justice. I singled you out and labeled you in my own mind without even fucking realizing it. I should be thanking you guys.. so.. Thank you. From the bottom of my demented little heart where I truly believed I was the victim. I am sorry.

5:26 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: A very big one.
5:26 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: So I guess I should thank you all.
5:26 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: I was holding a grudge against composer without realizing it
5:27 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: even feeling like I was neutral to him, I was saying there was tension
5:27 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: that tension might have just been my own
5:27 PM - >>DS<< Ðaякℜyu 竜: maybe I really was the one who started all this

Shout out

Sun, 11 Aug 2013 22:48:49 +0000

A shout out to two amazing Admins that have made this Team Fortress 2 server so amazing the past 4+ years. DarkRyu and Lunaru, you guys are amazing and these servers wouldn't be as popular as they now are with your tireless efforts. A++ fellas.

Lag

Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:33:45 +0000

I'm trying to determine the cause of what I'm being told has been an increase in lag slowly over time versus a drop off that occurred in April.

Please let me know.

It has come to my attention...

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 04:30:02 +0000

Apparently the server's been empty this year, and reason be apparently is the name of the map.

I will make the changes to the map name, however, there must be a vote on what the name should be. Mario_Kart as a start is okay, but versions that are around today are marked with a dm_ in front.

As the map comes into completion, a name is needed.

A theory on why traffic is not as high as it used to be.

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 03:16:28 +0000

I remember this time last year, the tf2 server was usually full or almost full with people, with regulars and non-regulars combined. This year, it seems to be much lower. I have sort of a theory on why that is.

The name of our main map.

Think about it. I remember one time last year, a reason someone came to our server was because it was the only mario_kart server that didn't have all crits. I'm beginning to think it was the server's main pull. The map that is. People like to play on mario_kart maps, but they didn't like all crits.

Now think more. What do people search in the map area when looking for a mario_kart server? Most would probably search with mario I presume.

What's the name of our main map? DARKSPIN_mario_kart. Why would someone looking for a mario_kart server look for it by typing in darkspin first? I feel the decision to put darkspin at the beginning of the map name has reduced a lot of the traffic the server could be getting.

My solution? Change the name of the map to mario_kart_darkspin. By putting darkspin at the end of the name instead of in front, we'll still get the traffic of people looking to play on mario_kart, and we can still have the clan name in the map name.

I feel doing this would increase the server's traffic by quite a bit.

Current status on newer maps in development

Tue, 28 May 2013 13:36:57 +0000

Due to the recent update to Team Fortress 2, aka 'Steam Pipe', Valve's development tool, Source SDK, has been severely damaged. The reason being is because the Source SDK tool needs game contents, and the latest conversion of TF2 has moved all of the game's contents to another location where SDK isn't programmed to find them.
Valve has said they would fix this critical error, but I have seen no progress or news leading to or mentioning the fixing, let alone touching of Source SDK.

Basically, I'll/We'll be waiting a long time for a new map to be published into the server.
However, before any map is published, many changes are needed so that the download time is worth the wait. I need ideas, and I need help from the community.
Here is the current list of new ideas to be added to the current map:

[list]
[*]Healing Cubes, which are keys to a future feature. [X]

[*]Secret lab with a machine that can turn a player invisible. [X]

[*]Spawnable/removable forts around the "spectator room". (?)* [X]
[*]Possible elevator fix, getting rid of the world clipping pillars under them. [X]
[*]Remodling some areas with needed props. (?)
[*]Second floor to the spawn room. (?)*
[*][s]Civilian-o-matic. (?)[/s]
[*]Re-decal the admin room sign.
[/list]

(?): Questionable
*Accessable by admin choice. Switches to activate features will be located writhing the admin room.

Clips for Elite

Sun, 12 May 2013 07:57:41 +0000

Hey guys, just wanted to say [size=xx-large]I REALLY FUGGIN' NEED CLIPS
[/size]
[size=xx-small]*cough*
[/size]
I've linked a preview of my upcoming frag movie, Elite, down below. As you can see it's going along smoothly, but I've hit a bump in the road. I want this to be a clan oriented video, not the Alchemy and Min show.

All you literally have to do is record a demo of you doing a couple of cool kills and email it to me. Das it mang.

If you're not sure how to record shet, click HERE for instructions.

I hope to hear from you mentlegen soon.

Server.cfg

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 04:54:37 +0000

There are some problems with the deathrun plugin, and I'm helping Lunaru figure out what's going on with it. I think the problem might be with some of the default cvars interfering with the plugin. Could you post it here or send me a copy, so I can take a look? Thanks in advance!

The Buddy System.

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 02:57:34 +0000

For those of you who use a buddy on the tf2 server it is quite alright that you do so. But DO NOT leave the buddy there when you leave. Remove it and carry on with your day. It is not a hard task to accomplish. You will have ONE warning ONLY. Then it will be a 24hour ban. Then a week.
Please and Thank you.

Rules of the DarkSpin TF2 Server

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 05:31:22 +0000

[b][size=x-large]Rules of the DarkSpin TF2 Server[/size][/b]

[b]1. [u]All admin must respect regulars, veterans, and other admin[/u][/b] - If you can't do this simple task, then you do not deserve admin. We need to work together for the good of the server.

[b]2. No Drama[/b] - if you create drama you will be given a temp ban. Depending on how excessive you are will determine the length of your ban based on the judgement of the current admin. 6 - 12 months.

[b]3. No Scamming[/b] - if you go back on your word as far as a trade or a duel, you are scamming. This will result in you being temp banned. 2 weeks - PERM.

[b]4. Hacking[/b] - if you hack, you are welcome on the server just as long as you do not target other users or the server itself. If you do anything to cause the server harm, steal another users items or information, or hack to win a duel, you will be banned PERMANENTLY. No second chances. Do not bother appealing your ban.

[b]Note[/b]: If you are new, expect others to be rough on you. When I joined, no punches were pulled. Respect others and don't complain if you wish to stay and become a regular.

[size=large][b][u]Status[/u][/b][/size]

[b]Regulars[/b]: People who have taken our crap and shown that they're acceptional. Usually someone who has been frequenting our server and made a few friends within their stay. 1 - 5 months.

[b]Veterans[/b]: You've been here for a while. You're well respected and you deserve that respect. You've shown that you've got what it takes to be someone worth looking out for. 6 months+

[size=large][b][u]Admin Status[/u][/b][/size]

[b]Junior/Temp Admin[/b]: If you were just made admin, best believe you are under watch. We'll be watching you like a hawk to make sure you treat others appropriately. Even though the rules are pretty lax, you're still in your testing phase and just a few slip ups will result in you being removed as admin. We're putting our faith in you, don't goof. You're an admin for the server.

[b][color=#FF0000]Admin is not a toy.[/color][/b]

[b]Admin[/b]: You're an admin of the server. Keep up the good work. You're doing something right.

[b]Perm Admin: [u]There is no such thing[/u].[/b]

[b]Head Admin[/b]: I am currently the Head Admin of the server. Why? Because that's what everyone is saying. I didn't apply and it was never my goal. It just sort of happened one day. If you are ever considered Head Admin.. of [i]ANY[/i] server.. [b]DO YOUR BEST[/b]. Everyone is counting on you.

Ban Appeal

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 04:27:53 +0000

Username: SwiftDever
Thursday July 19, 2012: I was banned by admin "King of Kings", but to be completely honest he gave me no reason why. Whenever I connect I'm either banned or get kicked with the message "lolno". If I called him any names or insulted him I am truly sorry. It is really frustrating for me when an admin keeps slaying you for no reason. The slaying began whenever I killed him (which is normal in TF2) he also continues by calling me immature and such. We started some sort of duel going around killing each other, and of course whenever I kill him, he slays me. After that, he noclips through the Blu spawn and starts spawn-killing everyone. That was unfair too, and above everything else he targets me mostly. I don't know if this is normal for admins, but there should be a limit to the amount of abuse an admin can do. Again, I truly apologize if I insulted King of Kings in any way. I just want to return to the server without being kicked; or if I was banned for a legitimate reason I wish King of Kings (or any admin) would tell me.
Thank you for your time.
