So i'm coming back to tremulous after some time, and every server i try to join i'm asked to download pk3s
Is there a list of the most common and now-pretty-much-used-by-everyone mods i should have? or each server is going one direction?
I'm trying to push tremulous for the office off hours because we just ditched enemy territory exactly because every online server had a dozen lame mods to the point where it's impossible to join a server... when when you do manage to join, the nazis have a weapon that shoots clowns and the map is a disco floor.
please, plese, tell me it aint so with tremulous
-
I would answer but I haven't played Tremulous in months/years/whatever.

This is exactly how World War II should have happened.

What are the cool kids playing nowadays? i think tremulous is still lots of fun and run on the office hardware just fine :)

On 1.1 Tremulous, W server and F server are usually quite busy. Maniacally so, sometimes. X gets a lot of players on occasion too. AA still does ok.
On GPP Tremulous, the R Unlimited CZ server is nearly always busy.
There are some good ngp mods for improved graphics/sounds that you can try as well.

But it's one of the retarded modded servers, so i would hope he'll want to avoid it. On the occasions that RCZ goes down or a few relatively capable players decide it's just not worth their time, we do get some good matches going on us1 and/or the pk server, sadly those are becoming ever rarer of late :(

i wish people would come back to us1, 1 vs 1 is so unnatural in trem.

you should be scared
oh that kind of mod

Yeah I completely don't like modded server but R's is not the only. It modifies gameplay yes but at least dretch cannot fly, can't be invisible or even immortal. There's some serious modding, not like in others. But anyway I loved vanilla plays more than modded.

We had some reasonable games on the DDOS server last night, leaving RCZ empty.

I had no idea you were still alive.
I love it how yalt once advertised unvanquished in his server title while hosting rota's mod.
1 vs 1 is so unnatural in trem.
I have an inevitable duel sometime in the future titled the "Dreadful Cele Test"

You're thinking of about 1% of all mods in existance. They all involve:a
-Free Cannabis Drugs giving abilities (dropped upon player deaths)
-!rtd (!retard? What does it stand for I wonder?) which does the same effect as the above one
But, there is one other type of mod that contains cloak for dretch:
-Arcade Mod - Relics mode (They give powerups such as stomp and inf stamina, vampire but no regen, regeneration yet weak, silent but deaf, cloak, low gravity etc.)
Damnit, I wish that aussie arcade mod server didn't shut down 2 years ago :(
Honestly, I'd say rota's funko mod is a good mod, IF he didn't shove the bp default to 999.

Perhaps it should be noticed more that it's the modded servers which are always the busiest. Not the vanilla servers. Apparently, the majority of players don't agree with the "retarded" label - they want to have a fun game, and they'll go wherever that happens to be. Vanilla does get boring after awhile, and Tremulous has been around a long time.

My friend only goes on servers with 20+players on so that's already a reason for not playing trem again.
I hate how multiplayer games have a chain reaction when population decreases, just like economic recessions, only that Tremulous is too out-dated to attract any newbies that are addicted to those stationary "first to aim and shoot wins" type games.

which have the most players because they're the most fun.
People rarely bother with trying to "enjoy" boredom.

I guess it probably is more fun for new and inexperienced players to join a server where they feel that their skill level will have less bearing on the outcome of a match, they can just build trees and towers of boxes if they feel like it, 'cause that's fun, unfortunately, those of us who like to play trem in its more traditional form, where a strategically built base and a good feel for the weapons and classes are more important than using all of your build points and camping so hard that the opposition can't afford the evos to make a dent on your obscenely large but massively flawed fortress, don't get quite the same level of enjoyment, RCZ has turned tremulous into Lumberjack simulator 2013...
Maybe posting links to minetest or other free minecraft clones on the tremulous downloads page would reduce the interest in mods with huge bp counts and crates.

It would be boredom to join a server with 2 people in it.

Depends on other elements of the mod and the gameplay desired. Modified games are great for not only variety, but testing alternative choices for game balance adjustments. Sometimes they may work too.

Don't forget the flamer, you want the flamer banned, too, because it's OP and only used by noobs, or at least that appeared to be your opinion on the matter over on rcz the other day...
When you say that you'll take everyone to us1, how will you achieve this, who are you, what power to you hold over the playerbase?
as for randomly upping the build points, it's really not necessary if you bother to learn to use the points you have in the first place, there are some guides on this very forum (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=14350.0), the ping thing, well that would require that it move considerably closer to you, which isn't likely to happen without it ceasing to be US1, besides, i can cope with US servers just fine, stop refusing to touch it on principal and just play there a bit.
Going back to UBP vs vanilla for a moment, playing with ridiculously high numbers of build points simply isn't my idea of fun, it also tends to produce very poor quality players who are often too busy building useless structures, or running headlong into a fight with no idea what they're doing, to have an impact when skilled players turn up. I have no problem with mods when they have some kind of direction but just throwing in ludicrous numbers of build points and an array of completely useless structures to build with them just feels pointless.
Oh, i remember who SamOz is now, hehe, an important member of volt's batshit brigade, whatever happened to that tremz thing with the wonderful volt at its helm, did it die shortly after you all vowed to soldier on, rename to hexterra for a while and then die, silently reintegrate with unv or is it still in super secret development somewhere?

It's rather rare for such modifications to be random and without forethought. I'm not sure where that view of mods encouraging poor players comes from, because I believe that all games get that. The newbies get better eventually. Maybe it's just that such mods attract MORE players than vanilla tremulous these days so it just seems like that there are more bad players. Personally, I prefer games with a lot more BP than vanilla tremulous normally has, and it does seem to work better when there are lots of players. A few players just like to pass the time building; I say "Let Them!". Got to start somewhere. If it works for that bunch, and they enjoy, good for them. Maybe they'll try other mods too.

Carry much of a chip on that shoulder?
Nobody was "batshit" in TremZ; that assertion of yours is ridiculous. TremZ members weren't encouraging people to troll the Unvanquished forums, or to post troll threads here on Tremulous.net - the reverse was not the case however. This discussion doesn't belong here; you'd probably misrepresent the facts regardless of what the truth might be. Progress continues - just under other names. You could say that TremZ split into other forks rather than actually dying outright. I'm still working on such a project in my spare time with a few others. I never liked the TremZ name to begin with (nor do I like the name Unvanquished; perhaps it's merely superstition, but it just seems bad luck to use a failed project name for a new project).

On GPP Tremulous, the R Unlimited CZ server is nearly always busy.
But it's one of the retarded modded servers, so i would hope he'll want to avoid it. On the occasions that RCZ goes down or a few relatively capable players decide it's just not worth their time, we do get some good matches going on us1 and/or the pk server, sadly those are becoming ever rarer of late :(
Perhaps it should be noticed more that it's the modded servers which are always the busiest. Not the vanilla servers. Apparently, the majority of players don't agree with the "retarded" label - they want to have a fun game, and they'll go wherever that happens to be. Vanilla does get boring after awhile, and Tremulous has been around a long time.
I think they go to the servers with the most players.
which have the most players because they're the most fun.
People rarely bother with trying to "enjoy" boredom.
I guess it probably is more fun for new and inexperienced players to join a server where they feel that their skill level will have less bearing on the outcome of a match, they can just build trees and towers of boxes if they feel like it, 'cause that's fun, unfortunately, those of us who like to play trem in its more traditional form, where a strategically built base and a good feel for the weapons and classes are more important than using all of your build points and camping so hard that the opposition can't afford the evos to make a dent on your obscenely large but massively flawed fortress, don't get quite the same level of enjoyment, RCZ has turned tremulous into Lumberjack simulator 2013...
Maybe posting links to minetest or other free minecraft clones on the tremulous downloads page would reduce the interest in mods with huge bp counts and crates.
I just go by the numbers, kid :)
If a mod is more popular than what an old fogey would like, suck it up.
Old fogeys are the future kid. We like quote towers.
ViruS says this is a quote pyramid. Is this correct?
I don't think that's the issue here. The problem is that he didn't quote my post when replying.
we need bit more build points
no.
let it rain! negative turrets!

If you're reading this, I am already dead necroposting on another thread. The purpose of this necro is to continue the quote pyramid that was sadly terminated prematurely by CreatureofHell's unfortunate demise at the hands of Mark Twain. With regard to the relevance of this post to the topic, it has none. So you're wasting your time by reading this. It is not my problem since it was your decision to visit these forums.
