neverrrrr argh the {RbN} Pirates are bombing your ship right now woot

Your server is ready Captain. Razz

A fresh install with no mods or plug-ins and using the STA server config. Man, it flies without that other stuff weighing it down. I also have HLTV enabled and working. Apparently, STA requires this.

Looking at the server.cfg...something struck me weird
mp_footsteps 0
Do they really play with footsteps disabled?

BTW, as you've gotten some misinformation reguarding servers

Don't know where you found that...it's not from STA's rules.
Also, this server will be for practice and scrims...not matches.

Although STA's rules say cable/DSL server are not permitted...they MAY be allowed if approved by STA.

Those are STA's 5v5 rules...

Which are different from STA 9v9 and STA adl

You'll also want to 5v5 specific configs too, you can get it at the site

Thanks for the directions. Didn't even realize their site was broken up like that. I wonder why different rules, maps and configs for different player counts...doesn't make sense...yet. Razz

The major rules are generally the same, the different rulesets/configs/etc deal with the difference between dif gametypes

................................................................yea sorry I miss informed anyone rotf.

Dont you know a sarcastic comment when you hear one Fjorn? teehee

lol

Sit back relax and get ready whooop some bronze level ass with some old school soldia's : P

So Far we have 2 team cpts. Aud and Myself, CPTS dont always play every match. I am the type of cpt that would sit out for a player who desperatly wants to be in, provided that player was a good listener during practice and has shown he knows what OUR plan for the night is[because he listened at practice]. We also will be rotating out players per game and per map in some case's.

Practice does not have to be totaly strict but rather we just want to give everyone a good solid place to start from when the bell go's DING! so we dont experiance a big screwed up clusterfug. A loss is a loss, but disorganization is just sick.

Ide preffer to work with the defense team on posting. Aud is great on offense but He is going to have to , umm not leave when its a map he dun like. My clan always hated 2fort also but heres the bad news, we will be playing it alot in bronze level if he chooses to do this.

Im sure Aud will be looking for more CPT"S in the near future but they WILL have to be "yes men"

This stuff needs to run smooth without any type of flack. I have faith in AUd after watching his offense the other night. It SO Much Reminded Me of Old Times watching him and Transc inch that flag out one after another. It was bliss!!

We will need to password the practice server during practs, anyone in -[CfH]-who wants to play in that practice will be totaly welcom to do so and have to be a good listener and be there for the exact purpose of listening and practicing, or go back to normal Chips fun house and have fun there, which there is nothing wrong with either. Just want the guys in practice to be focused and listening so we never do have to be strict per-say.. When you have your plan built a player does not change class unless the rest of his o or d team thinks its ok to try something else but for god sakes U dont wanna take the game into your own hands and start changing class's against the wish's of the team. I personaly will kick a player right off the game for such a selfless act during a match, and then I bring in a standbye in 2 seconds flat.

Peace

when do we get started?

Ideally soon. It'd be nice to know who plans to play what.

Also, don't you have to start in Copper before you go Bronze? Or is there no 5v5 Copper?

I would like to get some practices in soon. Assuming the turnout is relativly small (4 or so O and 4 or so D) getting some practice in would be great. I imagine we'd go to some common league maps and run our O against our D. This also might be a good way to test different formations.

With 5v5, we can only have 3 D max, so their zone placement is important. Some maps always have your "normal" setups. I have never played shutdown2 without a solly at the top of the ramp.

A question regarding 5 v 5: I know in pubs, when there are relatively few players on the server, certain areas will be "closed". For example, with a 2 v 3 OvD on shutdown2, the plank route to flag will usually be off-limits.
Do leagues ever place such restrictions?

I don't think sd2 would ever be played in a 5v5 match, but hey...

Its not disallowed, but is it considered poor form (like using gren2s while muulching)

And the way STA 5v5 works, when you enter, you get put in the screening ladder. You then play 3 matches, and based on how well you did the admins place you in one of the 5 divisions

Some tips:
-Snipers are practicly useless, the object is to cap the flag, not be a score whore
-Those of you who think HWG is a noob class, prepare to be shocked and awed as there is a place for an HWG on the D team of almost every map
-As Ember said, your Core O classes are scout, medic, and soldier with spy and demo if you need them
-Remember, friendly fire is on, communication is the key to dealing with spies, not shoot and see if they bleed
-ALWAYS HAVE THE MATCH ROSTER FINALIZED BEFORE THE MATCH, I cannot stress this enough, if you wait until the last minute you can end up with O players playing D or vise versa siply because you do not have enough O or D players
-Related to above: Try and get your entire clan hanging ut in the IRC channel before the match starts, and yes, IRC is a must
-Now the hosting clan technicly only needs to allow 2 people on the HLTV server, a represenative from both clans, but usually they let clan members who want to watch, watch, your backups SHOULD be on the HLTV if they can and jump in if someone disconnects/gets kicked
-The Pyro: In the hands of an excellent player, the pyro can kick ass, but usually they exist to get slaughtered in league play
-The Engineer: Remember, you can have as many engineers as you want, but the moment they build an sg, a dispenser, or a tele that helps the defence, they are considered D, and fall into the Max D rule
-There is no max O rule. You can have 1 D and 4 O if you really wanted to, but its generally a good idea to use the max D Razz

-In the STA rules it USED to say that 1 D is allowed to fire into the yard, that part is removed now, and the rest of it leaves it rather ambiguous... I would reccomend not firing into the yard unless you are chasing the flag
-Always always always keep your personal demo
-Make sure you have read and understood the rules: http://tfc.sta-league.org/5on5/ (click on rules)

I'd say more, but I can't think of anything else you need to know
