Partial OP because of posting issues.

While its early in the thread, a strafe jumping tutorial webm.

A common new player mistake is to frantically wiggle the mouse or to wave the mouse after each jump, without actually aiming for the ideal angle to keep the mouse at. Additionally, best acceleration is not based on how often direction is changed, its based on an optimal angle. This angle will be farther from the center as velocity increases. Direction switching is mainly re-positioning, to avoid colliding with a wall or falling off.

With 4 others on the server.

There's someone in here right now who just keeps talking about duels

Someone last thread mentioned auto executing script that's not the config file for aliases. Anyone know where to put that?

Sorry about the delay. A lot of shit went on and I wasn't on my PC very much at all

Anyway, SPLATMANIA is over, and Splat wins. Hopefully we can get some fights for old positions underway at some point in the next few months. Not expecting any major happenings for a little while due to the holidays

Mybie,not bad idea.

Beats me, guys tend to have less sensations to that kind of stuff.

An abstract kind of feel.

Truly an abstract kind of feel.

...

It's like I'm posting in 2015 again.

Why are you same fagging dumbass?

Past few days my posting gets stuck and I assume it doesn't go through. Now apparently the posts do go through.

Possibly the best english translation ever for a nippon game. Seriously the dialogues are great.

3 snip snaps

I have friends, I just don't like them as much as Okabe's friends, including Okabe.

プッシー

ah suddenly that makes sense. it checks out in that case

pussy desu
Also server right now.

This is still the worst thing ever posted in these threads

New CTF maps are on the server because Komier thinks the bulk of them are garbage.
shinning_forces_q3wcp5
accident_v3

Also set some times on the CTS maps
cts_ghost-sleepy
cts_pornvannestar2
Those are new too.

Even more new CTS maps:
cts_gpl-quickie2
cts_pornstar-peanuts
inder-siwd3
ghost-simple4

Set some records on them.

Should be the same place as the configuration file. Depends on operating system of course.

Are there so few good ctf maps? We could still use some more. Other modes have a lot of variety now but not that one.

I don't know. Download some and try them out.
I think the bulk of custom CTF maps are giant wide open spaces because of instagib's popularity.

3 players on the server at the moment.

7 players on right now

10. Whatever has caused this big party.

Still 10 on the server an hour later. Mostly new players at this point.

wtf europe

Bug, try them all out because you can only connect to one of them afaik. I know the host and will hit him up later.

Going to be getting on for a bit. I was on for a short while last night, but it looked like komier and gang had shown up rather early.

I should be able to come back on and dm with everyone once my ISP gets their shit together
Until then, if anyone has any questions I can still at least answer those (hopefully)

After making moon jokes for quite some time, moonman now has playable ping.

Was fun. I'll comeback someday.

...

Anyone up for some gaem? I decided to try it out and found no one on either sever.

Yeah I'll play.

Had a nice, long session.

10/10 -IGN
Now I just have to git gud.

You didn't do badly. In the one match where there wasn't an experienced player in, you only lost by 4. And in that you sometimes gave a frag by being clumsy and falling off the map.

Play some CTS sometime- we even changed and played on a newbie friendly map for you. Improving your movement skills will help.

If you try to focus on improving you'll catch up to a good chunk of people. Just remember that this is a game about items and pickups and you'll automatically do better than a lot of the pubs that you'll run into. It'll take more work than just that to catch up to the regulars, but none of us are super-pro quake vets or anything crazy like that save for maybe 2 or 3 people.

Sometimes the server is empty but there's really no shortage of players in NA that don't time items so if you go through the newbie guide in OP, get some of that stuff down, and time items you'll pass a lot of players pretty quickly.

HOW DO I CHANGE WHAT MONITOR
THE GAME DISPLAYS ON
FUCK

Ask in their help IRC? I only have one monitor here. Only forum thread I can really find on it:
forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=4376&highlight=change monitor

Probably would be easiest to change which monitor is the primary display in whatever operating system you're using. If apropos command and some keywords don't get you anywhere then definitely ask the IRC.

Thanks for teaching me movement basics guys. I will practice.

For some reason I only get packet loss when playing on linux, but it's perfectly fine when I tried it on windows. Anyone know why or how to fix it? I'd prefer to not use windows at all.

so if someone ragequits the match doesn't count for some reason?

Verified RQ's would be forfeits. The line about full matches refers to other people hopping in (if someone forgets to swap to duel for whatever reason, and because we used to not actually have a duel mode on the server, just a +duel vote)

Honestly the ladder is at least partially for a sort of pseudo-matchmaker. If we can get more participants it'll be easier to figure out where people are and match them up with good practice partners. While the rankings are a good sort of motivation, as far as I'm concerned they're secondary to finding good matches for people via a system that isn't dependent on one or a few people being on pretty much every night

I'll probably go through and edit the rules again for clarity. There haven't been as many questions lately so I haven't touched it

I went through and fixed all the warnings the server outputs, and uploaded its config.
git.teknik.io/antares/infinity_xonotic_server_config

It's behind features such as votable and customized game modes, some experimental balances, tweaks for defrag, etc. Might be of use to the server in Latvia. Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. Maybe we can get some matches organized this weekend if everyone's not busy for the New Year celebrations.

Nice job aging the thread by making a "Christmas Edition".
This thread will probably be alive till March or April.

I knew the risks and went with it anyways.
We simply must channel our energies and engage hyperdrive in the shitposting sense.

If we get another butthurt furfag autismfit the thread will be gone in a month, at least.

Not sure if planting trees all new years day or not but matches sound good. Some 2v2s if we get too few for ctf? I'd be playing more but deathmask says server is empty when I've checked so post here or somewhere when you're hopping in.

Lately it's been low activity for the holidays.
I'm going to poll for Friday, assuming many others are busy spending time with their family, friends, etc for New Years (Eve) celebrations.

Time is now in UTC. Below link can help with conversion.
time.is/UTC

I hope you all had fun.
Tonight was a bit special.

Is this multiplayer only?

You can singleplayer skirmish with bots, same game modes and objectives as multiplayer, but that's kind of it.

That's too bad.

put menu_watermark "" in autoexec.cfg to get rid of that annoying ass watermark

...

That was depressing. When someone talks that much you at least hope for a good, rough game.

Eh, I've found that most people that actually talk shit like that in games are usually fucking garbage at them. The actually good players don't bother talking shit past the usual banter and either show you they're better or just practice.

You should come online more so this stops happening to me.
And instead they pick you as a benchmark.
And I told him 3 times that we aren't from 4chan, but he insists on talking and asking me about it.

Thanks, Splat, for single-handedly driving the December ladder. Maybe we need some new rules to get a little more activity going. Mandatory matches?

Are there any hook+instagib anymore? They were the only servers I was good at/enjoyed on Nexuiz.
Not the normal instagib, the nixtagib or something like that.

There's usually at least one Minsta match going. That's the one you're looking for I believe

Server activity. I notice activity is leaning towards late night times.

Surely more will result in something.

The server now has an irc gateway for the meantime. It is currently connected to QuakeNet #xonotic.na. IRC idlers and players can chat with each other.
Additionally when matches begin are reported to IRC- though I haven't yet got it to report exactly when someone joins and leaves- and I think it can report the scores of a match.

Let me know what you think, whether to turn it off or leave it on.
