Sign me up for team USA. I like the map.

^ OH YA!

EVER GOING TO HAPPEN?

Canadian you are talking trash! You would get WOMPED!

OK, nappy let's do this! You made the map and I started this. Shall I start the emailing process and perhaps we do this tonight after Psycho or plan for next week? Maybe dash can host?

I would say give it the weeks notice. Kind of late to try and pull everyone together in a few hours.

I'd say there's a good chance trying it after the league game.

Welllll, I don't think this is gonna go anywhere. :[

^Where did this clown come from? OK, let's aim for next Wednesday then after Psycho. If you can send the mission file to dash, I think we're good to go!

Edit: Help me out here, please. What file is required for the burning whitehouse? I can create it easily in Motion and other 3D rendering programs, but I have no idea what TT needs. What does the torque engine need as an animated file? Can my animation be translated into torque? And, most importantly, can I link the ferocity of the burning whitehouse with traditional Canuck apathy?

The firt main part is the 3d object. It needs to be in a.dts file format for TT to understand it. Newer versions of TGE games understand other file formats but TT is still stuck inly with.dts.
I'll look into the ani sequence, maybe an emitter will do the trick.

I'll get dash the mis today.

Count me in next week ! B)

I wanna say this is awsome which I do, but no offense intended, I don't think its gonna break any reccords. :(

Ill be there - USA style...

Admins, could you please include in the header Wed, March 22, 10:30 PM EST, Dash's server?

^ Done J.

OK, time to unleash our secret strategy! Good thing we had all this time to develop and refine it. XD

Link has been fixed.

We still on for tomorrow night after PSL ?
Who from team USA can still make it ?
Count me in still B)

I sould be able to make it...

I'll be there.

We're on! I just emailed Delta and asked him to forward the TT community. Hopefully, it will turn into a massive battle!

Will dash have the server up and running?

I emailed Dash but did not get a response. I'll see him in game at the latest. I'll try emailing him again. Dash=busy-dude.

I signed up for this when the person in the first post was different I would like to sign up for it again please.

GAME ON TONIGHT!

Dash confirmed he will host the map after the scrum league games tonight.

I believe there will be a 26 player limit. Laggy maybe? Fun? I think so.

Pass?

There is no pass on it currently I'll set it tonight before the game if someone will send it to me. I was thinking people who don't know how or don't want to preload can just connect early and load the map and objects.

Here's what I decided to do. With all of the talk about lag and maps I have decided to employ a new test map using the canada map.

I'm pulling no punches here.

Here are the important specs of this map. 6 Textures

Game/data/terrains/FTerrain/FTerrain03
game/data/terrains/highplains/brownrock
game/data/terrains/highplains/dirt
game/data/terrains/FTerrain/FTerrain0
game/data/terrains/highplains/seawaterfull2
game/data/terrains/FTerrain/FTerrain02

Mission file:
new Sky(Sky) {
position = "0 0 0";
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
materialList = "~/data/skies/csky_day.dml";
cloudHeightPer[0] = "0";
cloudHeightPer[1] = "0";
cloudHeightPer[2] = "0";
cloudSpeed1 = "0.0001";
cloudSpeed2 = "0.0002";
cloudSpeed3 = "0.0003";
visibleDistance = "750";
fogDistance = "1000";
fogColor = "1.100000 1.100000 1.100000 1.000000";
fogStorm1 = "0";
fogStorm2 = "0";
fogStorm3 = "0";
fogVolume1 = "1 1 1";
fogVolume2 = "1 1 1";
fogVolume3 = "40 1 75";
fogVolumeColor1 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 -222768174765569860000000000000000000000.000000";
fogVolumeColor2 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 0.000000";
fogVolumeColor3 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 -170698929442160050000000000000000000000.000000";
windVelocity = "1 1 0";
windEffectPrecipitation = "1";
SkySolidColor = "1.100000 1.100000 1.100000 1.000000";
useSkyTextures = "0";
renderBottomTexture = "0";
noRenderBans = "0";

The short version.
As you can see I removed all of the land that used to be outside of the playing area.
There are no sky textures and the color has been turned black, (white was just too bright) There was a sky file in the first version.
The fog has been turned black to match the sky (less colors to video draw.)
Although there is a path for the sky it is set to use useSkyTextures = "0"; That means NO SKY
The visible sight has been reduced from 1000 to 750.

OLD

NEW

Here's my theory. In IT, we commonly use remote control agents and there is always an issue with speed a console redraw. There is an enormous difference when using a textured or graphic for the background. Changing the background to a solid black or white increased the performace drastically.
We'll see what happens.

The new terrain file located in game/data/missions/us_canada2.ter.
Download the new file, or let the server load it. It is a new name so there wouldn't be any wrong error messages. You either have it, (by predownloading the new link)
Or you don't. Let it load.

:)

I thought this was going to be TS not TBM ?
Right now it's set up as if it's TBM.
So which is it ? 8o

I'm wating for Dash to respond to the new maps I just sent him. It should be team scrum. A minor oversight. The pass will be set after league games tonight too.

OH LA LA!! Very nice! Big thanks! T'will be interesting to see how the map fairs with the changes. Thanks to dash as well for hosting.

As far as the match goes, lag or no lag, it should be a blast! The more the merrier I say.If it escalates into a 20 Tank game, we can always have an ultra-competitve match with 8 or less at some later date. Besides, jangles needs to bust loose and TRASH is holding him down! LET'S ROCK!!

We could always have some games in which some go observer mode and check it out from the nose-bleed seats!

I agree, either way should be a bucket "O" fun.

Ok I got new terrain from header.

Ok maps loaded should be good

Woot!

What is the pass? :o

^ Yea
EDIT: Refresh Refresh Refresh Hopefully something comes up

Been lookin at the locked server for ages.

This is poor planning. I can't get in!

Yeah that was a late start, but it was fun for the short time I was there. Unfortunately, I had a slightly inebriated wife come home and sit down on the couch behind me, staring at the back of my gaming head, and well.....

We'll do this again some time.

Hanging TR*SH out to dry for a bit as jangles needs to focus on the 3 on 3 crown.

WATCH OUT, SUCKAS!!

Welcome back jangles! I missed ya buddy.

American Schoolgirl...I love it! A few more weeks and the lesson plans will continue...get your BIG CHIEF tablet ready...

Canada is running low on keyboards How are they supposed to compete?

I have the new map loaded and im ready to play.

Nice sig hank
