As we all know, the Tomb rox0rs. But, there are some things that cause people to stray away from the server because of some glitches.
The maps we carried over from DM seem to have overtime errors in which it will freeze the game, although the CTF native maps work perfectly fine. I noticed on Pedestal (the clean one without grass), the xbow never respawns at all. One of the biggest problems I noticed though is with ctf_canals: anyone who does not have only the tomb version cannot play it in our server, it will read with an error "map ctf_canals is a different version than the server's."
Talking to some of the visitors we get in our server, there is a disliking of the huge weapon selection on one of the maps (the small one where there is a lobby with walkways in the middle, and two glass stairways, one on each side), because anyone can load up on the max number of orbs and pop them all into the enemy spawn/flag room. I think there is even twice the number of runes for that map, which is a lot for how small it is.
I do, however, hear from a lot of visitors that the physics, speed, and friction we use is excellent - probably their favorite settings. We seem to be the server that pulls the night crowd too. That's a pretty damn good start, but it could be better.
EDIT: ctf_gunshot has some weapon respawning issues as well. Some of the weapon drops do not produce after the first pick-up{pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name

We may an out of date version of canals. If the map is updated and the map name (notation on the end) is not changed then the server thinks the client already has the map and it is not downloaded. The game tries to start with a client map that is newer than the server map and you get the error. I will either try and find a newer version or i will change the name of the map slightly which will then make it load to everyone playing the game with the correct map.
I cannot think of the one with the two glass stairways and the lobby? If someone has a name for this one we will certainly take a look at it.
As far as the pedistal map goes I will have to talk to Whut and find out if this is a server issue or a map issue. All other weapons seem to be fine so I would have to think it is a map deal. It would be hard to imagine though because pedistal comes out with ctf and you would think that it would be bug free. Has someone else played pedestal on another server and had the bow respawn correctly?
EDIT we cannot have people just delete canals.. this would cause them to have the error whenever they played the game on others server. Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

Yes, I play pedestal every once in a while on aKa's server and the bow respawns. They also have arena mode for that map, which I think could be useful for us too, especially if there are weapon respawn issues; it wouldn't matter if we started out with that weapon.
I don't know if you can do that with certain maps though, or if its an all or none feature.{pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name

Hmmm and Atomic Garden is not generally available til we can get someone to mod it for that very reason. That and that the current weapon selection bites..
Is this coming up on vote? It should not be. Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

hmm will double check. the vote list.. This is not the atomic garden version that FC has so much sucess with.. This is an older version with RPGs, orbs, and is pretty much knee deep in runes.. after the first go around with it was obvious that it needs work to be usuable on a regular basis..
Snooch? oh Snooch? We would be in yor debt if you could helpt us out once again.. heh heh Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

Oh yeah snooch.. another thing I have been wanting to work on is removing nades from the ENTIRE server. I was thinking we replace em with cow pies and let the TermiNADEr become the Cowpieatosser. Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

LMAO!!!! XD I know this may be out of the question, but I decompiled both pedestal's and removed the wackyball from one, and I may have fixed the crossbow on the other. I'm compiling the tile one now to see if it's working right. I renamed them with a 'tomb' on the end like canals, so it wouldn't "differ" from peoples maps and not let them join. Think anyone'll care if I do this? I won't put them anywhere unless it's cool. Also, I got the stupid "Could not find map" error last night...for...some map I've never played so idk the name lmao EDIT- It was Canals_tomb. Wouldn't DL for me  [20:39] {pDs} t3h Cam3l: hey craig, how do i set up a private server?

Canals has been yanked from the cycle until i can look into these "errors" people are still talking about. I am thinking they occured before I could get it correct but to not take a chance I have pulled it for the time being.
Link me to your pedestal maps and I would love to take a look at em.. l will be to work til about 2 am pacific so I wont be able to do anything more today til after that. Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy
