I’d be up for banning the AssWiPe gun as well.

I have a spare AMD2100/512/ and Cox cable if we did. Also do you guys always wear your [1920sDR][SDMB] tags? I’m in VA and I play every night, I have yet to run into a doper.

There sure is. There’s a good game going just about any night of the week now-a-days. The number of dopers playing at any time varies. Most all of us wear the [SDMB] tag before our name. Please do the same.

I’d also mention that lurkers the read this thread are also certainly welcome to use that tag as well. No qualifications necessary. For one thing it groups us all together on the stats page!

I also noticed while looking through some of the CS:S server tools, that it is possible to set the number of times per map that players can buy a certain weapon. For example, perhaps you are allowed 2 AWP buys and 2 autosniper buys for the duration of the map.

A neat idea, eh? Teamwork might come in the form of buying weapons for other teammates who’ve already exceeded their buy maximums.

Best. Name. Ever.

I hate that damn gun. The other day I was on an aussie server, with the title “nothing but dust”. That’s the only map on there. Anyway. Every single frickin terrorist had one of these damn guns. Gave me the shits :mad:  
Max.

It turns out that the name is simply ‘24/7 Office’. Search for servers with an under 50 latentcy and sort by map.

Game’s going at the moment, just me and Adam, and a couple random people on if anyone else wants to jump in. 😛

Man the stars surely aligned tonight…I had about 15 minutes to play and I didn’t embarrass myself!

My lousy P90 got me an 8-3 Kill/Death ratio…are you sure that was CS that I was playing? 😃

I’ll check that out. I’ve been playing on NewbieRoundup2 (NR2) when 1920s is empty or there are no (obvious) dopers aboard. On a good round, I can hit an even kill/death ratio on NR2. However, I keep forgetting that NR2 starts you off at max money and don’t buy a gun in round 1! :smack:

I may have to go here. I was just awful last night. Probably too much vodka, or not enough. The point is I didn’t have the exact right amount of booze in my body.

I have a similar problem, only with caffeine. Not enough, and my reflexes are too slow. Too much and I’m rushing because I’m too impatient to wait for backup.

Some questions:  
How do I enable the console (I like to follow conversation after I die)?  
Where can I get a tutorial on setting up autobuy scripts?  
Is there an “ignore” feature to use against obnoxious players?  
Is there a simple way to change one’s tag in-game?  
Stats on damage done versus damage taken - is that set by the server, or can I have the client show that also?

Thanks

i) I just add -console after the shortcut to CS Source. There is a tick box somewhere, I think inside Options,Keyboard,Advanced… tick that. Then in game hit tilde ~

ii) Sorry i never bother with scripts, I change my mind too often.  
iii) Don’t think so. Admin can boot them tho.  
iv) I just hit esc, options and change the name. There may be a command for the console I guess  
v) Will show the damage done and taken in console 😉

</div>

name [name] in console works.

You can ignore people by hitting escape and going to the “players” tab… you can at least ignore their voice communication that way. there may be an ignore console command.

Gonna do a bit of DMing on our DM server if anyone wants to join me. Same IP, but port 27016… or [bf3.cc42.com:27016](http://bf3.cc42.com:27016)… or “SDMB DM”

Why can’t I find the server? I tried to add it using the add by IP in the favourites tab, but nothing shows up. I searched under the regular server listings and I still can’t find it. Wass up wit dat?

Well, you have to launch HL2:DM to get a list of those servers, maybe you launched CS:S?

If not that, then you have to be sure to specify the port. Typing ‘connect [bf3.cc42.com:27016](http://bf3.cc42.com:27016)’ after launching hl2:dm works. I’m not sure how the favorites menu works, but I’d imagine you could add the same thing there.

I take that back. The server crashed, which would explain why you couldn’t find it.

It’s up now.

I was going to post a rant here, but decided it was better placed in [the pit](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5720175). It’s about cheaters ☹  
Max.

PS I’ve only seen one cheat on the SDMB server.
