Ok, so we have talked about doing another Fun Night....anyone on board for it? Put your thoughts and opinions here on what we can do for a fun night. IE: Prop Hunt, etc...
-
I say an off night like Wednesday or something. I wouldn't want to kill the server on a Friday/Saturday with a different mode, but rather develop interest on a night people normally don't get on TE.
-
ooooh this sounds fun.....clearly.
When is the server usually busy, like when are a lot of people usually here?
Tuesday might be good but that can conflict with the tuesday meetings, Friday seems kind of good too.
-
I don't want to sway any votes, but I was personally thinking of a down night myself as well. And to be honest, our most down day/night is Sunday. I know Sunday's seem to be more of a family day, but it is not like we do this very often. And whatever day we do agree on, we can advertise it in the server so regulars and the general public know when to join us.
-
I vote friday or sunday. As i didnt have the option for 2 votes lol :P i picked friday, but sunday for me would work just as well

After getting a case of the sleepy ha-ha's tonight, I began singing Katy Perry's "Firework" (were they laughing with me or at me?). Further discussion and CSI-like investigation (YEEEAAAAAAAA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR3jnW2kcUs)) turned up the following results:
-Upon a round ending...
---Winning team will hear a clip of Katy Perry's "Firework" (first 15 seconds of clip found here (http://www.myspace.com/14157218/music-player?sindex=-1.0&shuffle=false&amix=false&pmix=false&plid=2215&artid=10653737&profid=14157218&friendid=14157218&sseed=0&ptype=3&stime=0&ap=1&rpeat=false))
---Losing team will hear a clip of any godawful thing you can find by Justin Bieber (for motivation to win the next round)
To save you all the time of asking me.... yes, I'm sober.
-
I change my mind, Sunday probably IS the best day.
-
Also, I love verm's idea. Though I don't know if Katy Perry is very good "reward"
-

Fail!
yes, I'm sober.
Also Fail!

And dominating someone gets you "like a G6"? :roll:
I like Sunday.
-

I will personally shut the server down if I have to listen to that crap while I'm playing! :x
-
GFH, we are not suggesting this as a permanent thing. JUST for a fun night. Come on, lighten up a little. It is just something funny to do...FOR FUN!! And we don't have to play the whole song, just maybe find a 15-20 sec clip of them. I personally think it is a wonderful idea. In fact, he brought it to me before he even posted it here, and I told him to post in this section! Just for one night we can have some fun, loosen up and act a little crazier than normal.
-
I vote for prophunt tomorrow since the stuff's all ready to go and I just need to change one file to enable it. :P
-
agree on:
-prophunt for fun night (though i'm not around enough right now, so i'll miss out most likely)
-sober = fail (i'm really just that crazy. i take thigs too far.)
disagree on:
-my own suggestion on adding bieber. i think it would be funny the first few times, but i would probably kill myself any more than that...
i don't like katy perry OR "like a G6" (which i just heard for the first time, seeing it here...), but i CAN laugh at how horrible it is, if it's playing for one random reason or another on fun night. bieber though... just can't stomach it.

OMG we HAVE to do this!!!!!!
-
OMG!!!!! WE have to do it!
When are we thinking this schannagians will start tonight?
-
Prop Hunt will start around 6 or 7 EST depending on the server population (more regulars is better!).
a
I'll get the karaoke thing on
Edit:
It seems Karaoke hasn't worked so well for a while, because of a change in Steam. I could still do it but some people wouldn't be able to hear anything, or it'd be too loud...I think it's better to not do it then to deal with all of the hassles.
-
Agreed with the karaoke crazy. Maybe there will be a fix at some point that would make it better. We should keep looking. I am down for prop hunt tonight tho, that will be really fun.
Would there be a way to make an announcement in the steam community? That might spark some interest in regulars that don't follow everything on the forums.
Just a suggestion.
-
Well last night (1/16/2011) was pretty fun. We played prophunt all night instead of regular TF2, had a lot of fun doing it.
Perhaps this Fun Night doesn't have to be the same thing every time, perhaps run a different source mod next time, and I certainly wouldn't mind playing prophunt again.
-
So what are we doing tonight for Heather's Birthday? Can we make the beach ball say Happy Birthday Smurfette?

Sure, go ahead and make a skin for it and I'll put it on the server.
I'm waiting! :P
-
I would not know how to do that.

Oh, look what I did:

-
OMG you guys are awesome! I love the beach ball!! My Ball!!! Thanks babe for coming up with the idea. Love it! :-D
And thank you Crazy for making it for me. Your awesome!
-
Ok now I am going to learn how to use the software. That was good work there crazydog. Thankyou.
-
Bad news is I can't force the download of the skin without replacing the entire model, and I know nothing about modeling, let alone modifying a model and then using Sourcemod to replace the model of the ball with the one I created.
Good news is you can download the files and install them locally, which will work.
Download the zip file and extract it to your C:/program files/steam/steamapps/nickname/team fortress 2/tf folder
To edit the model, you need VTFEdit, GCFScape any any image editor that can handle TGA files.
I'm not going to go in depth, since it's done all over the internet, but simply:
Open VTFEdit
Open the TF2 Materials GCF
Find the VTF you want to edit
Extract it
Open the VTF in VTF Edit
Export as TGA
Open TGA in image editor
Make changes
Save TGA
Import TGA to VTF Edit with same properties as original VTF
Save new VTF
Done! :P

This video contains prop hunt (which we did), companion cube soccer, and spy crabs. They are TF2 mods that we could try for fun night next time if someone can find the stuff for them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80WBeVeceNQ
Personally i would fast forward to the companion cube soccer lol but watching prop hunt is always fun. Let me know what everyone thinks about trying the other mods on a fun night lol
There also seems to be a freeztag mod that goes along regular game play. Except when your health runs out you get frozen in place untill a medic unfreezes you. only medics can do this. When everyone on one team is frozen the other team wins. Lol it sounded fun
-
The freeze tag and the soccer sound great. I didn't really get the point of the spy crabs one though.
-
Soccer > Everything else.
-
The spy crabs is where the one team is the crabs and they have to get to the end of a track to score points, and the other team is the hunters that kill the spy crabs before they get to the end of the track lol.
-
Spy crab sounds like a tower defense game.
What about the vs saxton hale mod (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/VS_Saxton_Hale_Mod)? I've never tried it but it looks like fun.
-
OH MY GOD!! WE HAVE TO DO vs Saxton Hail. that's is awesome!!
-
That does look pretty epic and fun haha!!!!
-
Sadly some of those plugins are very old and do not work/are not supported anymore.
Both freeze tag + companion cube soccer do not work at the moment.
I will have Saxton Hale mode and Crabmod on the server for tomorrow.
Roll the dice will be standard for fun night from now on.
I will also put on this:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=646703 - The Hunted mod (VIP mode from TFC...similar to Escort in counter-strike)
-
crabmod is broken too and saxton hale has issues that I can't solve tonight. Prophunt again! :P
-
So here's something that was *just* publicly released, so it should work! :P

that looks like a friggin blast!

:iamwithstupid:
-
THAT LOOKS FREAKING EPIC!!!!!!!
-
Wario ware's on the server. I'm about to test it. Lemme know when I should turn it on!
Edit:
Tested, and it works great!
-
Aw man WarioWare was crazy. A little bit irritatingly difficult, but very fun.
-
I enjoyed it quite a bit.
-
New Gamemode - "Bomb Fortress"
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1404614
I'll have it on the server by Sunday!
-
Nice find. Looking forward to trying it out.
-
Be neat to do a CS style bomb game in TF2. I really wanna try the gun game TF2.
-
I hope crabmod gets working, I saw it when it was pre-release and really wanted to play D:
-
I voted for Sunday.
I am totally in favor of a fun night! =D
:headbang1:
-
:lol: LTK We've already did like 2-3 fun nights. Yes, they are on Sundays. :wink: Tuns of fun too!!!! Try to come on in.
-
Bomb Fortress is on the server. Testing it right now.
Again, if I'm not in game tomorrow, feel free if you want a gamemode change.
