I hope you guys realize that all PA TF2 teams are doomed to be eliminated from the tournament for bullshit reasons in the second to last round.
they always do. you'll find them and meet up at some point...and then lose
2 years ago we ran into them early, was me, Arikado, Eric, Afro_J, Random_Engy, and someone else...maybe m4v1s? I can't remember. but yeah, you'll get somewhat stomped
It was tiny lobster. I was talking to him about that one day. I would love to play in one of those, but don't feel like bringing a computer.

The computers are already there, man! You don't need to bring anything, but you can bring a mouse and a mousepad if you wanna.
We need to figure out who's all going to PAX East this year, current and former TF2 nerds. Roll call, nerds.
So far this is who I know of...
PAX East 2012 TF2 Nerds
Crash
Ebo
Hey You
Pablo The Penguin (you said this last night, right?)
Bear is Driving
Asiina
That Guy
Durax (I assume?)
Riokenn (Saturday only)
PM me more reply here and I'll add you to the on going list.
From Goose's thread over in SE++, Goose, BEAST!, and possibly Trippy will be going, too.
I'm pretty sure Rakuen, Ducom, and Nisi will be there.

Who in these parts has the shittiest computer that still runs TF2?
Someone wanna fire up Stoneyridge sometime, and point out where framerate dips are? This stuff is harder to test on fast machines because they have so much more headroom.
Xzzy or Hey You, I don't know who did this... but I am disappoint, son.
edit: We should be dropping a more optimized version sometime very soon, so wait for that version to test. We definitely need some low end computers to run around the map for us.
Yeah I meant to clean it up. We were running into some t-junction limits so I just kind of hamfisted it to get it working. I was planning on doing nothing but optimizing the next time I got the map so I was hoping no one would notice until then. :rotate:
I've been doing some experiments on an old beta of the map and a lot of reading regarding the Source engine, so it should be a fast fix.
I fixed it. I think I took care of the tjunct problem, actually. Waterindicies usually (afaik) indicates how close we are to limit on tjuncts and I have it down to 11%. smug.gif
edit: wait no, apparently that was a faulty compile. Still 93% lolwhoops.
B7 Changelog:
• Lowered health throughout map
• Added :30 seconds to Blu’s time to cap A
• Takes 2 seconds longer for a scout to cap B
• Added cubby to the B tower’s engi nest area
• Changed some overlays
• Heavily optimized from last version
• Updated bomb tower structure detail and some buildings about B
• Changed some textures
• Added more lighting/tweaked lighting
• Updated some detailing in Rocket Room by B
• Added turned spawn points for Red after A is capped
• Fixed a few displacements
• Updated small areas of detailing in certain spots
• Added window to Red spawn and moved exit sign to help players notice the 2nd door
• Capable area on B is marginally smaller
I need a slogan for the poster I'm making for Stoneyridge. The company name is Crash Construction. I need a slogan, and I want it to fit into UEAK. My favorite so far has been Unparalleled Erections, Advanced Knowledge, but Hey You vetoed that for obvious reasons.
Any help on something clever and construction related? The smaller the words the better, because I have to fit it on a poster, like the ones you see around the map.

K is the trickiest. I can't think of many K words that fit in a business poster.
Fresh off the grill: Here is the link for the new cp_stoneyridge_b7. Note: Map is compressed. --Avoid the wait in the download lines.
PMavers, if possible, can you use this version to replace the previous one. This new version should address any of the slight balancing issues. Also, your computer and eyes will thank you because this version much more optimized.
If you have friends that run servers, please feel free to pass this version to them. Let us know where the version are going and how are liking the map.

Seriously though, someone needs to organize a get together, preferably someone who knows the city and could book us a place to eat not too far from the convention center. So far the list is:

If anyone is interested in creating a poster for Stoneyridge, feel free to make one (following the guidelines of this tutorial, at least up to the point of getting it into a .TGA) If it's good enough we'll toss it in (no promises, though.) The cool part is that if the map gets bought, Valve will buy the image off you to use.
Just follow that guide and keep it clean and TF2 related. Inside jokes or references are ok but not too much. Just ask yourself if you could picture it in the TF2 setting.

All I have at work is Paint and I can't picture this in the TF2 setting nor is it in the proper format and I don't think it's good but it is a poster and I did kill 15 minutes so I still consider this a victory:
I'm not sure how many posters we could use anyway.. we're really close to the overlay limit and would probably have to delete other details to make room for new details.

OH shiz. When are we playing? I'm on the team.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU! - Switch Friend Code SW-5465-2458-5696 - Twitch
This next one is probably my last for awhile, way too expensive to keep going year after year.
Yeah someone should do this.
...Don't look at me.

For something funny, maybe:
Unparalleled

And
Killstreaks
My other one I'm leaning towards now is Unified/ Unionized East-Area Kinship.
I'll keep yours in mind for sure though.
edit: Here's the poster so far, I'm pretty proud considering I rarely do much art like this anymore.
Hat, of course. I drew over an image of a hat I found to make that.
PMavers, if possible, can you use this version to replace the previous one. This new version should address any of the slight balancing issues. Also, your computer and eyes will thank you because this version much more optimized.
Change log and photos in my previous post.
If you have friends that run servers, please feel free to pass this version to them. Let us know where the version are going and how are liking the map.
Only by downgrading them a size. Mappers can't adjust the specific health granted by a pickup.
It's sort of a test after a discussion we had on tf2maps, see how it effects map balance.
I am also going to PAX East!

It certainly makes me want to hire you.

Also it's a full moon on Thursday. So those items will work. But also ME3 is out sooo...
