I'm making this announcement to let the community know that we have decided to shut down the Napalm until the end of January due to server maintenance.

We've heard all the complaints about the server being laggy and just completely not the same for the longest time and have decided to act upon those complaints to better the server as well as the gameplay. While the server is down we will be completely rebuilding it and getting rid of some maps to reduce the lag.

When we announce the Napalm's grand re-opening, we will reveal it's new and improved map list along with the settings that we've chosen to try and liven up the server.

While the server is down, If you see ANY maps that you would like to see on the Napalm server don't hesitate to post them as suggestions and we will test them and consider putting them on the server.

Sorry for the inconvenience to those of you who were steady regulars on the server, but we're doing this for you guys. Hope to see you on the re-launch day!

No, ranks will be reset. It will be a brand new server rebuilt from the bottom up. Everything with be completely new. :bigsmile:

Could the recent server lag issues be caused by them being running for so long (just a build up ofwhatever slowing them down?)

I doubt it, it seemed like it came from nowhere overnight. Possibly a recent change.

Can't wait till it comes back, and fixed. I plan on making a good napalm map once I get better with Hammer. May be a long time as I'm still researching all the things that can be done with it.

I'm looking forward to seeing your map! ^.^ You have plenty of time to get some practice in with hammer now that it's down temporarily :D.

Also, we're going to keep killermidget's playground of FAIL right?

I'm going to hazard a guess that the new settings have not been decided yet?

Hmm, sad to see napalm being shut down for the moment, but i'm sure it will come back to life as vibrant as ever.

The settings will practically be the same exact thing, only a few small changes here and there. It's not going to be respawn or anything like that because I'm tired of hearing you guys QQ.

When you say napalm do you mean the napalm's actual server or the dedicated server that does zombie mod?

Escape and Deathrun are not going any where. I am sure they were down for some other reason.

I'm so glad that you're here.

The feeling is obviously mutual.

If you really must know and are that impatient. The server is going to be rebuilt, meaning completely wiped. The map list will be altered and maybe some skins depending on if we all agree on it. There will be a side test server for the napalm so we can test settings for cades to make it as even as possible for the players, CT & Zombie. The tic-rate will be bumped back up to 66-tic so the reg is better. The slots will probably be decreased to prevent lag with the server being at 66-tic. There's other settings I'm sure and maybe an event script added somewhere in the mix if I can find one. New maps may be added, I'm currently working on a map list from previous maps from the napalm and old/new maps I find on fpsbanana.

If you'd like I could just leave the server as is and give it to you as a laggy piece of shit? I'd suggest growing up, but I'm highly doubting your capable nor willing.

My response was directed more toward your highly recycled line of insulting the napalm players and telling us to stop "QQ-ing", but given the insult that you just threw on me there, I think I can stretch the meaning a bit father.

To be honest, Raven, I never had much of a problem with you other than your constant QQ comments that drove me up the wall, but since you decided to make this personal, I'd like to say this.

I find it ironic that you tell me to grow up because I think that you're very badly in need of a case of the grow-ups yourself.

That's all, I'll leave this thread to discussing the new server or whatever it is that you're all doing here.

They have been gone for some time, I'll be going on when I get home and seeing if they are still gone
If they are I'll let you know...
I'll try searching for the IP's again
If that fails then it's coming from your end
Most of them are still there though!

Stop moaning, don't like the servers being all laggy then go else where and stop flaming at Raven, he is trying to get the server fixed again and you moan because of it...
Please grow up =|

I'm sorry, I thought I was the one being attacked here. My only action was to ask about the new changes, which I got bitched at for.

No, not ALL napalm players. Just the ones that instead of making a suggestion thread you make a thread and moan and groan like Aaron did or while I was in the server heard you constantly whine about how bad the server is. So, I think I'm right on the money when I said stop QQ-ing because every time I went into the napalm all I heard was whining. Don't think I'm telling the truth? Ask gotswap.

I agree that I do need to grow up at times, but right now isn't one of them. By the way, you weren't being attacked and I wasn't bitching xD.

You were the one starting to moan as my quote shows
Raven was simply stating you guys kept crying about the servers and frankly I agree with him!
No Raven, you don't need to grow up...
Being a fool makes you fun to play with XD
Seriously though
Stop moaning and wait

Ditto. I'm looking forward to reclaiming my #20th (or thereabout) spot on the rank ladder once the server goes live.

Would you happen to have a working list of the maps you are planning on putting into the rotation? The classics I'm sure are there with Highschool, and Killer Field, but I can think of a few off the top of my head that probably should not be put back on the server. I mean zm_hide, and zm_end as I think we can all agree are pretty dismal when it comes to game play.

Wait are who else is working on the servers?

Is it the AO's and BD's? Or everyone in the higher-up rankings?

And where the fuck have I been in the last 1-2 months! Man I have to get on the servers and forums more often. I have to balance out scripting and game time. :lol:
