why is the paintrain allowed rofl

Jumped on for a bit earlier and had some fun. There were a handful of people using the direct hit which doesn't seem to be on your unlocks allowed list, though.

hard mode vs scouts you fuckin noob you dont know shit

We kept the OWL whitelist (plus some other fun weapons), and it might mean that demo's can get used to the amount of damage they will take while using it.

The whitelist plugin was being modified earlier today, that's all been fixed up now so DH is banned once again.

Allow medic with crossbow... disable heals if needed imo~

I figured if you wanted crossbow practice it'd be easier to just go pubbing, but if there's enough interest I can add it in.

I for one look forward to using the Market Gardner in OWL

do not allow classes other than scout/soldier/demo/sniper

if someone wants to be a free kill as sniper then let them be

Darwin's Danger Shield - snipers sorta need it in SOAP, and they're not SMG-ing much
Sticky Jumper - less sticky spam, figured why not
Market Gardener - it's fun.

no you are right, go pub pishk, let combat classes practice

True, except people in pubs don't dodge + crits + no instant respawn... So not nearly as useful for practise.

I understand your point but a bit confused why troll weapons such as market gardener are in there compared to crossbow which is a legit comp weapon.

everyone is complaining stop it

Great server, great fun.
Don't understand why you have turbine there, the stock map is pretty much raw dm anyway.
Also I suggest changing your nextmap voting thing from the stock TF one to a sourcemod one. I've found that the stock one sometimes screws up so I can't see the options, not to mention the fact it takes up like a quarter of my screen

I'm still not 100% sure on turbine myself, to be honest. I'll probs remove it later.

As for the voting, if it's the default sourcemod voting system, it'll break weapon switching while it's up, so you'll miss a switch. Figured it's better to leave it.

Went on this server yesterday, Had some solly fun, very much approved.

Also, remove well plz, It doesnt work as a soap dm map.

Just removed well and turbine.

Been playing on this for a while, full support here, good job.

add more soldier spots

Monty covered everything else so...

We tried it with 4 soldiers, but felt it was a bit too spammy and too many projectiles. With the maps changing every 15 minutes if you miss out on one map it's likely you'll get to go soldier on the next.

Also as monty said in the OP "If this proves popular I'll add a second server.", so it shouldn't be too much of an issue if one server has 3 soldiers on each team already, you can just head to the other one.

4v4 imo

5v5 max

I was thinking default 5v5 with some reserve slots. 4v4 is a bit low.

well 6v6 is really bad, but seriously when the old dm servers were up, 4v4 was always a lot more enjoyable than 5v5. would need to be 2 servers up though

But I'm paying for all these slots... Maybe 3 4v4... Now I'm just getting complicated

Play a bit before, had a great time. Would appreciate unlocked amount of solly and scout spots, it is pretty annoying to join late and be locked out of the class you want to play.

Just gotta be careful with spam :\ I'll think about it.

I think the class restriction is fine, too many scouts or soldiers just makes it bad. You either get swarmed or spammed.
