The Dedicated Server for the "Adjutant" Map Pack Public Beta will go live at 1:30 pm CT/2:30 pm ET. The server will have the same name this topic's title. If you still would like the maps to participate, here is the link: (link removed by request of UBE Chief, the map pack's creator)

The beta will last two weeks (through September 22, 2011). Please participate and give feedback. You may use this forum for just that purpose and ONLY that purpose.

Again, this is a PUBLIC beta. No invite required- just download the maps and join on in. (Be warned- the download packet is 250 MB- please allow plenty of time for it to download, especially if you are not a paid user of the site.)

I will be hopping into the server from time to time to make sure everything is going well (UBE Chief might, but I cannot speak for him). The server will remain open 24/7 for the entire two weeks and will not shut down for maintainence unless it is deemed necessary in order to continue the beta.

Again, we encourage you to participate. We'll see you in the server.

Two things:

One, you could've used the other topic for this, and;

Two, you don't need to pay for an account - it's free :P

I'll try and hop in, but no promises ^_^

Well, the server is now live! Start downloading and join on in, people!

Server Name: Adjutant Map Pack Public Beta

(as for the free user/paid user thing, what I meant was that free users are given minimum-priority download speeds, wheras paid users get a download speed boost. I don't think I ever said you had to be a paid member to be able to download the map pack. Hope this clears it up. :) )

I still have the maps from when you released them, like, months ago, and Camo was useless because your computer could see through it.

^ I lol'd.

I'm sure more will come. Just spread the word and the download link.

E: Managed to get onto the server, and there's just one thing that worries me: Why, at the end of each game, the server "crashes"?

E2:Well, now I got a new, badass computer - and I couldn't see through it, I could SEE it. Seeing through it would be what the Av-Cam normally "looks" like :P

That problem is most likely on my end and has nothing to do with the maps. Chances are that there may be a bad line in the coding somewhere, or it could most likely be a netork issue. I was in the server earlier today, though, and it went fine. I'll keep it up for now, and if the problem persists, I'll halt the beta and take a closer look at it.

Just one other suggestion, for the KoTH gametypes, make them "Crazy KoTH". It makes it more challenging/fun, and I have made multiple areas for the hills, so having that gametype is not an issue.

Thats...so wrong...in so many ways...

On it

Ok, I know that the dedi server is up and running, but NOBODY seems to be on! I suggest a gaming party on the server. All are welcome, no matter the ping.

I'm also planning to create a proper video on the Map Pack while the party's going on, so if you want in on the video, start joining!

What time do you plan to be on? I might be able to join you. (be sure to return the favor and include your time zone, please ;) )

Somewhere in the vicinity of 9:30 PM, EST (GMT -5) - when YouTube finally finishes rendering a test video I'm currently uploading XD

E: I'll try now, actually, but I can't guarantee that I'll be lag-free :x

E2: Nope, definitely not going to be able to play right now - I just tried, and I got well over 1200 ping due to me uploading that HD video to YouTube :|

E3: You sure you have the server set to rotate gametypes? Would be nice to have it rotate to a new gametype each game/map instead of rotating the maps through one gametype before moving onto another...
Edited by UBE Chief on Sep 9, 2011 at 08:58 PM

Just got the game types fixed to where it will cycle trough AoTCR on team slayer, ctf, oddball, then crazy king, the b40-arena on team slayer, ctf, oddball, etc. etc.

And I know what you mean about the ping- I didn't realize playing 'words with friends' could cause me to lag so much... (+700 ping at the highest o.O)

I'll see if I can get a hold of ODST Nick and see if he has anyone that would be interested in participating. I've played on a few of his maps, and he's pretty good, particularly at modding.

That...isn't exactly what I meant, either.

What I meant was that every game is a new map and different gametype, like (for example) AoTCR=Crazy KoTH (team or FFA); Cartographer=CTF; Conflict=Slayer (team or FFA); b40-arena=Oddball (team or FFA) and Whiteout=Race (team or FFA).

Again, that's only an example, but that's what I meant.

E: YT finally finished uploading - I'm free to join up whenever :3

Quick Update: A server-side system error caused the Adjutant Map Pack Public Beta server to go offline for a little more than an hour Monday (9/12/11) night. The problem has since been resolved and the server is now back online. Due to continuing technical dificulties, TheMapReader.net Public Server remains offline as of 11:30 PM CT/12:30 AM ET.

I think that nobody is joining up simply because they do not have the maps to play. I have to finish those five so that everyone can hop in :3

Understood. You want me to keep it up for now, or just go ahead and take it down?

Leave it up until the deadline has passed, then take it down. You never know, some people may want to hook up and game together while I'm not looking ;)

UPDATE: The Adjutant Map Pack Public Beta has concluded. If you participated, thank you. If not, well..... you know who you are ;)

I would just like to let y'all know that, due to an ongoing internal investigation, all future beta hosting, public and/or privite, has been suspended until further notice. Go to my site (www.TheMapReader.net) for details.
