Their has been talk about turning the jailbreak server into a surf server
it is apparently self populating to a degree and zukuto can set it up
anyways any ideas?
-
<--- likes TF2 surf better than CSS surf
But yeah a surf server sounds great, i actually owned one once..
-
HELL YES!
-
I've owned one too Blood :D
I like JB and all, but CG doesn't seem too excited about it,
plus, people don't really look specifically for full servers to surf in,
so a low population isn't always bad. PLUS, it caters to a different crowd,
and will be easier to populate.

Id rather have Jail Break. The problem with the JB is there is no Pizzaz. Nothing to stand out. TTT server stands out and drags people in because we have special things. Maybe instead of surf (Which will fail all the same) we should start adding some stuff to the JB server to make it more fun. *Cough* Selectable Skins *Cough* or more Lrs and Trails n' stuff like that. If you REALLY want peoploe in make an items shop where how long your playing allows you to buy, skins and start with free weapons.

Wrong, JB failed not due to the fact that we don't have 'special items' it's because it's not structured well enough. Now, putting 'pizzaz' into the server will load it down, make it buggy, and over-all is NOT a good idea. Select-able skins is not really that good of an idea because it will confuse people, and make it harder to play. LR isn't restricted to the !lr command, you can make your own up, people just don't for some reason.
Now, you can't compare surf to JB because they 1. attract different people, and 2. don't rely on players to be in the server to attract people. I know you JUST got transfered over, and haven't had time to actually be an admin on the server, BUT, I don't think the JB will ever be successful, no matter how many CG members try. It's all about KEEPING a population, something that is becoming harder and harder to do with CSS.
Maybe someday we can do a Gmod JB server, because their player-base is a bit different than CSS.
But for now, JB is not something we need to sink resources into.

I remember the days when I used to play lonesome on a surf server in HL2DM and loved it, mind you, it was 2008

Putting pizzaz will not load it down and Why would optional skins become confusing? If your confused about typing !skins and pressing a number from 1-10 then what the hell are you doing in CSS? Seriously I have seen that the servers with the ability to chose skins/models do better than those that dont.

I like JB better than Surf, would never play if it was Surf.

It's JB, if there is a bunch of skins, some people may get confused on who's a prisoner, and who's a guard. That's what I meant.
When it comes to adding 'pizzaz'(lol), we have to be wary, because TOO many plugins WILL result in them effecting eachother and becoming unstable. Usually when this happens, the server dies, and we have to either remove the plugins, or spend the next week coding fixes.
Surf is MUCH easier to manage than JB, can be more of a leisurely activity compared to JB, and is fun alone OR with people.
I'm not willing to do a bunch more work on the JB, because I don't see it going anywhere, even if we add selectable skins and flashy lights. If it hasn't taken off by now, I doubt it ever will.
-
I'd play if we get one. Never actually played surf though.

Surfs only good with RPG or WCS.

I'd preferred ZE or ZM + WCS instead of Surf or JB, but Surf is good aswell.

Zombie Escape is a million times better then surf.
@Dino, nope.avi your wrong. All the surfs servers i have seen are empty unless they have rpg or wcs.
Heres a better idea then all, a minigame server.
-
im going to fix up the css server tonight and get it back up and I will talk to Zukuto and we will try a surf server

Was actually about to suggest this.

Surf/Deathrun/Puzzles?

Surf/Deathrun/Puzzles?
-Has instant old clan flashback-
YES!
-
for now a surf server is going up and we will have that going for a little while and if it isn't doing so good we will try other ideas
-
Surf is most easiest to populate by yourself cause you're actually doing something cool :D
-
A) What the hell is surf?
B) If surf is the kind of thing you do alone, why would that encourage people to become a part of the community?
Also, deathrun or puzzles sounds awesome too, but I don't know what you mean by puzzles.
Anyways, Ima go see what surf is.

Damnit, do you guys really need to be so vague with your answers? Is that supposed to be some kind of gamemode? Because it sounds interesting.
-
Is this surf server even up anymore? Cant find it :/ I'd really like it if you'd set up a surf server wit the following things:
- Quake Sounds
- Oldskool maps like: surf_pyramidduel, surf_thriller, surf_xiv_v2a, surf_rebel_resistance, surf_year3000, surf_ny_momentum etc.
- Some skill surf maps like: surf_commune_too_beta5, surf_lore, surf_platinum etc.
- A tick rate of 66, nowadays it feels like every server would have 100 which is for noobs :/
- sv_airaccerelate 100, or u could just overkill it and set it to 10k, just to make sure it doesnt slip because its bullshit if it slips even slightly :D
- NoBlock
Damn, I remember when I was like 14 years old and I would always play on this 1 surf server which had these settings, golden memories.. Would be nice to bring back those memories by getting HOLY SHIT (24-0) on pyramidduel again :D
and i know that its almost a month old thread, SORRY!

although I have really been considering putting a surf server back up and just keeping it up
anyone else down?
(waits for Tendovi to see this)
-
If someone gets the settings right... but they're really hard to populate these days.
-
I WANT A SURF SERVER FUCK ALL OF THE OTHER COMMENTS. If they are good then don't fuck them. Im not reading shit. Uhh anyway ill rape all yo bitches on surf.
