Wanna Help with the new server box?
Well boys and girls Seeing how I have some things lined up for the server and we have a new home we now need your help (if you want to)  If you are willing to donate some spare cash to the cause we can build a very nice machine which will again house our two servers.  To send the money we have decided to use a site called PayPal what this site does is allow people to send money to others without fees or postage costs.   If you would like to do this go ahead an register to use the site, for every person that registers we get $5 free into the account, thats $5 free to use towards the system, so use me as the email or click this link to go register.  Send as much as you can spare on average $30 would be ideal if you feel like more do what you desire I am not making this madatory just an option for your gaming pleasure, and your donation will be greatly appreciated and advertised here so people can thank each other for chipping in.   The bulk of the server is left to obtain, HD and RAM the CPU, MB, and case are pretty much taken care of.  Wwe were told a rackmount case would be preferred,  but they are expensive for the cheap ones and if we get enough fundage we will get a rack mount otherwise I guess a mini/mid tower is gonna have to do.

Is it just me??
Is it just, me or does every person have a mental problem?  I emailed the fools at AQDT to see WTF was up with the goofy sounds in AQTE4.0  and man  what an asshole the dude is.  Obviously he has illusions of granduer or something  oh well here is the answer to the sound problem directly from the assholes, err um horses mouth

*sigh*

http://aqdt.fear.net/lowlag.html

get the 300k client pack, which contains the aq sounds with different names (to support a q2 engine macro that cuts the needed bw for sounds by 40-60%).  The reason the sounds are the q2 dm sounds is because the engine macro calls for those specific filenames, and since they aren't in the aq client originally the engine finds the files in baseq2 instead.

The sounds themselves can be anything, the function that used to call them was laggy as hell and sucked up player CPU time (reducing fps in firefights) and bandwidth (considering most servers have rate capped to 8-10k now, I like having a greater proportion of my rate to contain player movements then sounds.)

Pass this little tidbit along to anyone else who's not getting it either.  It should be in server MOTDs everywhere, but I dunno.

Those of us with custom sounds use the table below to rename your files right.  All that for a stupid freaking thing.

OGL, AQ2, Server... blah blah
Those of you who care here is a supposed fix to the gay sounds in Action Quake TE 4.  It seems as though the sounds are hardcoded into that new version and the only thing you can do to get back the old action sounds is to rename them to match what the software is looking for.  I personally would not rename them i would make copies of them so that you have both sets of sounds, I really wish they did not do this but unfortunately they did and gay it is.   Here is the list of files to name, this table is directly from the AQDT site so sue me if you don't like it cause i got some opinion of your new software.  One thing that strikes me funny is the fact that the hyperblaster was a lag monster so WHY would we use its sound to create a LOW LAG sound pack?  Why do we need low lag sound paks?   Learn to program and no one will lag, everyone get Highspeed access and no one will lag, don't change shit thats been around since the dawn of time. 

Weapon	Sound File(s)
Mk23	sound/weapons/blastf1a.wav
Shotgun	No change
Handcannon	sound/weapons/sshotf1b.wav
MP5	sound/weapons/machgf1b.wav sound/weapons/machgf2b.wav sound/weapons/machgf3b.wav sound/weapons/machgf4b.wav sound/weapons/machgf5b.wav (Yes, all of them)
SSG-3000	sound/weapons/hyprbf1a.wav
M4	sound/weapons/rocklf1a.wav
Silencer	sound/weapons/rocklr1b.wav(The RL actually plays two sounds, so we have to make this sound quiet)

On the server side of the ball things are looking good for the new machine, let me know if anyone wants to pitch in and I'll send you what I am looking for so you can help out.  Mainly right now I am looking for people to kick in a few bucks to help offset the cost of building this thing..

Other news
The Action Quake players had their first ogl match in a long time on Wednesday night.  As much as I wish that we had won we did not.  The scores were close we lost 15-11 on Urban2 and since no one told me what we had on Actcity2 I will tell you we didnt lose that by much either.

I will tell you this I am not happy with something that happened after the match while we all went back to our home server to play again.  If one of you have a problem with something clan wise speak to me and Jazzman-X,  don't go playing little baby games talking shit on the server calling this clan "lame assed"  I will not tolerate that kind of bullshit as you will be gone as this person hopefully has figured out.  You think you are the best player in the world   go prove it, don't bring your sorry ass attitude into this clan we didn't found this clan for assholes, it was meant for fellowship and fun not "look at me I am great".  Anyone with that problem can take it down the street and that's MY RULE.  Four years have past since me, Jazzman-X, and Toxoph penned the Crew and put up the very first website, none of us thought this clan would have lasted this long or have grown so much since then.  So don't go spoiling the FUN for everyone else with piss poor attitudes.   Take your mental problems elsewhere!!

Servers.
Well I am sure most of you have noticed the servers are not around at the moment.  I think thats because Interline shut them down or had a major failure, either way I have made arrangements to move them elsewhere.   I will inform you when they will come online in their new home as I just recently secured the brain of the new machine.  The new servers promise to be very nice and very fast connection wise.  So watch this space for the new IP's and other info for the servers, until then I will update the server page with some kick ass servers

Crew in OGL..Again.....
Well under much pressure from the AQ2 players in the clan we have entered the OGL once more, this time I would like it to be a bit different as we all know what happened the last time we entered the OGL.

So with a fresh start in the OGL we should hopefully have the clan rolling in the AQ2 field.  I am posting REQUIRED reading of all participants in the AQ2 OGL team as I DO NOT want people bitiching at me because they didn't read these damn pages.  So read the damn things it will help you understand what the hell is expected of you in the OGL arena..
