[Ch0wW]

And again, some updates!

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• Mars War: Added a 1-life survival server! This wad seems easy, so to increase difficulty, we added -fast & 2x monster damage!
By the way, this is our very first server having the [◄►HARD-MODE◄►] parameter! Ultimate Doom & Doom 2 should (re)follow then.
• RJRandom_v19 : After receiving some requests, and as my very first server is underexploited for this, The server is BACK ONLINE!
• Zdaemon MiniGames a server as been created! Ready to have ludicrous fun with completely fun maps?

That's all we have to propose to you for now .
As said on Twitter ( @baseqsv , please think to follow us), another deathmatch wad should be on the go.


EDIT: What [◄►HARD-MODE◄►] proposes to you:
- Full Oldschool gameplay, no Zdoom physics or "NSt fixes"
- Monsters give 2x more damage
- Fast monsters are on.

Here are the updates of Today!

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• Castle of Hassle: Re-transfered it to the previous server, just for better handling (and as the machine feels empty...).
• PlasDM1 : As I've got a request of Deim0s spuler on Twitter, I've Created a server. FFA, with EXP (once Domains has done it). Ah, good ol' times...
• FIDL : It seems the FIDL 2013 cup will start soon, right? I've got a request making some servers by [FI]Stalker. Well, 2 servers are created! Looking forward for this cup!

EDIT: The Mars War server has been replaced. Now it's ICARUS!


That's all for today !

PLAS!!

[Ch0wW]

Ahah ! That was the really good times, I remember most of those maps, but I didn't know it was from that wad...

Let's play back on this WAD! I'll enable XP on this serv

[ledill-vd-plas]

Yay! my plas request have been accepted

i'll play some matches on it when i pay the internet

[Ch0wW]

No problem, I'll be there

Anyway, some mini-updates:

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• FIDL: One of the servers didn't have zvox2, so let's bring it back. Optional still.
• PlasDM: Added Insta-Switch. The faster the guns, the bigger the fun!

Also, EXP has been asked for the FIDL servers (how did I forget to add these instantly?) and PlasDM, obviously

That's it!

Some updates for today:

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• Shop v2 + D2TWID: D2TWID has been updated. Also, map33 is added as a bonus map, once MAP30 is done! Beware the DopeFish!
• Daemon Kill: As nobody is playing this wad, I decided to Remove the server. I am really sorry.

HUGE EXP WARNING
There is ONE THING that I really hate. Here is it:

SOMEONE has asked an admin to enable EXP on servers THAT I NEVER ALLOWED to have. Examples: 0xDuel, Daemon Kill, or even Shoot! v2. Also, EXP has been disabled on Fune13 when it was originally enabled.

As I got an .xls file resuming all the servers, and if EXP is enabled or not, I noticed the problem.

So, here's the warning.

If I see one of my servers having EXP when it should actually have none (or the contrary), I'll maybe do some server penalties.
Also, I'll have to talk with the admins to make sure nobody other than I (Ch0wW / [BaseQ]Ch0wW) has the right to enable XP or not.

I don't harm your servers, so why would you harm mine?

I recently added a YouTube account for BaseQ. You should see it on the BaseQ's G+ page.

1.10 is there?

No problem, I've updated the servers, with the new CVARs
I'll see this afternoon for serverdemos, and the rest of the servers (especialy duel and the new lobby cvar).

EDIT ON THE EDIT²: I'll enable serverlogs only on duel servers, as demorecording has been "purposely" disabled (how stupid then, don't make it on the changelog if you -at least- say it was purposely disabled, and not written AFTER some time on the blog!)

Now, every server is configured like this, with my reasons:

• DUEL / PRIVATE CTF SERVERS:
- No Widescreen support. (don't get a fov + screen advantage if the other one doesn't have a 16/9 screen, letterboxing OR NOT )
- No multiBinds support. (and I won't change my mind, simply because of sr50 scripts. If you know how to play Doom, or if you're good at doom 2, you should play like if you were on Doom2.exe, and sr50 manually)
- specs_dont_disturb_players will be always set to 1, unless if you are on a lobby map.

• FFA / Public CTF SERVERS:
- No Widescreen support.
- Multibinds are allowed.
- No specs_dont_disturb_players will be always set to 0.

• COOP / SURVIVAL SERVERS:
- Widescreen is allowed.
- Multibinds are allowed.
- No specs_dont_disturb_players will be always set to 0.

Don't even forget that we make servers to have fair competition on PvP servers. Being unfair sucks, and we know it well.

Hope that it's clear enough. Of course, an average player won't see much differences

PS: and NO STATS abuse sucks. We deeply encourage the devs to remove "wad" verification ; nobody wants to win EXP only on standard wads.

Alright, new updates!

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• Survive in Hell can now be played with 12 players max!
• Slaughterfest 2013 has been set to Cooperation! The maplist has been reduced by a very few.
• A server with Datacore's "and the bloodshed began" wad has been created! (Survival 1-life)
• Due to inactivity (and no news), one FIDL server will be removed.
• Minor optimisations on the DMFLAGS and server parameters.

Updates will be truly effective that night.

I'll never say enough, but if you'd like to support us, here are the links of our tasty MOTD on #baseq :

[Ch0wW]

Small and minor update.

CFG/SERVERS UPDATES
• ALL DUEL SERVERS will now have "Classic Sound cuts" set to 0.
• The FCT34 server will become permanent for a full week!

That's all for now

[Ch0wW]

Another update.

CFG/SERVER UPDATES
• CTF servers has now old sound pickups disabled.
• ATBB server is updated to atbb_f2 !

SERVER REMOVAL/ADDITION
• Jac0b's ladder is removed (reasons: Nobody played for a complete month)

Also, on a side note, we created some serveraliases, to simplify the input of commands. Of course, that's rcon only, but we say to you everything! BaseQ transparence and trust!

That's all for now

[Evolution]

I wonder if you'd be willing to trial widescreen on pub/priv CTF servers?

[Emui-Tan]

Got, so it was simply a hypocrisy from you, just with enough of buzzing, that was a main working version, but i had to ensure it's validity. Thank you for your cooperation /!\

[Ch0wW]

[bless_]

[Ch0wW]

2 new servers have been created tonight:

• 1 PUBLIC zdctfmpx-b1 (16 players | 4 Specs )
• 1 PUBLIC greenwar server ( 8 players | 0 Specs )

However, as Brit10 seems dead THANKS TO ZD's decision to limit it to 6 PLAYERS, it's removed.

[Ch0wW]

Some server updates.


• Duel servers will have the "show player names" dmflag set to "off".
• When it's released, a new 3-maps Duel wad server will be released, as for Fsn76's birthday.
• specs_dont_disturb_players will be set to 0 on EVERY DUEL server.

• SCRIM-ONLY servers have now a timelimit of 15 minutes. Not the private ones.

Also, in some days, full server transparency will be applied. you will be able to know in real time our Competitive CFGs in our website. (of course, no possibility to know rcons and serverpasswords, eheh)
