ROTU Zombie server issues

[BluBirD78]

Joe, those perks are all active at the same time as you rank the class up. That is how every server running ROTU i have played on works. Your special includes everything in the category you have earned so far.

Yeah this is a good thought Dude, but I agree with Joe I also have the same problem of not ranking up. I keep seeing the "promoted" message and last I checked I was at level 17, but when I pick a class (usually the Armor class) it always shows level one, and never gives me options to pick any perks either

It's fucking fun! we lagged out/crashed once.

For BluBird,
You have to use your skillpoints (you get 2 every rank up) by pressing "B" ingame, and assigning them to classes using the number keys.

For others,
For a while, even though I had ranked up the assault class to the point where the health perk was supposed to work, it did not. Then all of a sudden it started working. I can say for sure that all the perks were working. MB it would be a good idea to read the release notes for this mod to see what was intended. Things like the special that "confuses zombies" i don't expect to work so well anyway, as the Zombie AI is kinda messed to begin with.

I am getting around 3 kb/s download rate on mp_surv_shipment. ETA is between 75 - 100 minutes.

I think most people discovering our server will say "fuck this I am out" if they encounter this. Is anyone else having this problem? The other maps seem to be DL'ing at a completely acceptable rate.

EDIT: this happened on 5 reconnects, but then I restarted CoD4 and the DL rate is back up into the 100's.

There really isn't a fix for it unless we pay for a host that offers an unbelievable bandwidth speed. It's a hit or miss, especially if a lot of players don't have the map that is being played, it can slow down the pipe.

My idea was to post 1 huge rar file but it was pointless when we're axing some of the maps anyway. I'll post a download link to the maps for the meantime.

 

[TheDude]

Well that is a good solution for us members for sure. I was thinking of guests/people who have not visited our site and do not wish to.

But it looks like all i had to do was reconnect/restart cod4. Whether it was simply because me taking the time to restart cod allowed the others to finish their downloads or for some other reason, looks like it's not really going to be an issue.

Again shipment has made everyone get the connection interrupted thing and then we all die lol

 

[MasterCLiP]

Can't wait to D/L that one huge rar. file of zombie maps no more waiting for downloads!!1

 

[Slaya]

Zombies are also getting stuck in walls but idk if there is a way to fix that

 

[Kacey]

Zombies are stuck in walls on a ton of maps, the one off the top of my head is Hospital when they'res always at least one or two stuck in the wall and we gotta wallspam with ak until we get a hitmarker.
Shipment lags WAY TOO BAD.
Zombies go through walls.

I also have a suggestion. Maybe choose what weapon we get? like better weapons cost more. basically the shop like the upgrades thing.
and maybe make it so we can use Uzi and crossbow when we're down?

 

[Sodalover]

Incessive lags. MASSIVE FUCKIN lag spike that pisses me off. I GET ONE EVERY 45-60 seconds, WHICH MAKES IT UNPLAYABLE! ESpecially on village.

 

[TheDude]

Please keep this limited to specific problems encountered on the server so that we can get everything working smooth with the current set up. Changing the set up is a topic for another thread that should be made for consideration after the server gets running smooth.

I have not noticed the lag spikes that soda is talking about except on shipment, like Slaya said. Shipment works fine with 3 people on it (at least it did for me).

that would be destorying the fun of getting random weapons.
hence the name weapon box.

and zombies going through walls; no definite fix for that.

K. So far, I've read that Evil House and Shipment are causing server crashes. Is it good if I axe these 2 maps completely?

I'm trying to get the server running as smooth as possible. With 20 some odd maps, I'm fairly certain there may be 1 or two other maps that can cause issues. So please, if the server crashes, let me know which map was the last one you guys played or loaded.

As far as making the server smooth, you have to consider, the mod isn't perfect. I have no skills in making a mod so there are some things we have to live with, e.i., zombies going through walls, stuck on some walls.

Thanks for everyone's input thus far!

 

[TheDude]

Yes, I would trash Evil House and Shipment. There are plenty of maps to play as it is.

 

[Slaya]

Yeah agreed, there are plenty others to play

 

[MikeK]

Yesterday at the map zombie desert dogs were bithching through the roof of the house but the map is very good so don't ban it please

There were lots online kkks dude, tit, voodoo and some others

 

[WaLLy]

Again, anything that has to do with zombies going through walls or floors is going to happen on most maps. I can't fix that.

 

[Slaya]

Castle map crashed when everyone tried to load it, thedude damage and voodoo were there that i know of

 

[TheDude]

So far, the maps that need to be removed are castle and evil house (due to crashing the server), shipment (due to insane lag issues), and sky fall (due to fail zombie spawning. Map cannot progress)
