I saw the server on FLS Assault yesterday (with over 10 people if I'm not mistaken).

Unfortunately, they changed it to Yeti's lair as soon as I joined..

The only thing they're doing is adding the maps from AA3, to this version (which is 2.5 btw), without any new weapons or equipment.

There will be no new engine coming with these maps, nor any considerable new graphics (maybe some little elements, but nothing major).

It won't slow down anyone's game as the admins here are working hard to keep the maps as light as they possibly can for the computer to handle.

Sounds good to me.

Most clients probably never will use the server part anyway and having a separate server GUI sounds like a good idea to me.

But then again, I've never run a server, so I might be biased in my opinion.

I guess this is the very basics, but:

IMHO hearing people miles away, isn't really as realistic as you're making it out to be. When was the last time you were sitting at home and heard a neighbor open his bathroom door? Or hear him go from the kitchen's hard surface to his living room with a carpet?

That's not what he was talking about and you fucking know it. There's no need to act like a dick. You use a lot of words and phrases that are not commonplace for most people.  Also, your sentences are often very long. This can be very confusing for those that do not speak English very well. There's no need to be condescending, he was just trying to help. You're an admin of a forum that hosts a very global community. You need to use simpler sentences and words so everyone can understand you. Surely you can do that.

I agree.
While I don't really have a problem understanding what you're writing, others might.

And to be honest, the way you type here looks like you're trying too hard (even if you're not). It looks to me as if you're trying to look better/more educated than other (even thought this is probably not what you're going for).

And in your long post, you state it's easier to write en-vise instead of the explanation, but don't you think having to write both takes even longer?

Assist can do whatever they want, but they have to be careful with what they do. You can't just do whatever you'd like, you have to bear the opinion of your target audience in mind. If I think I have a solid reason to ban someone (in my opinion) from MY server that I pay for and somebody from the development team is forcing me to allow that person to play because they received a little bag of money is ridiculous.

I agree. There should be no reason that the Assist admins should be able to say who you can and cannot ban from your server.
I mean, on your own server you can ban people for various reasons, from excessive (and intentional) TKing to extremely hostile/rude behavior towards others in the server, from exploiting bugs to disrespecting server rules. Now if the admins said you couldn't ban this "ex"-cheater, he'd be at an advantage compared to any regular legit player.
And since usually you're allowed to ban players on your own server, most server admins would probably ban the known "ex"-cheaters.


I'm pretty sure everyone here understand the noble idea of giving this project some much needed cash, but IMHO having cheaters paying to play again is not something that would work.

The story there seems so plausible.

"I was playing and someone was hacking. Then, since I had my own cheat ready for use in the other folder (or w/e), I decided to outcheat him!"
