Guild TFC News Page

News about the web is that Devnull-AA- is getting ready to release a new sniper map. It is scheduled to be play tested soon. The name of the map is Sniper Duel and should bring some new ways of playing our favorite class. Thanks go out to BarraCuda-AA- for this little bit of information.

Jumbot v0.3
Since the new bot code has been fixed with the new half-life patch, Jumbot has been updated to v0.3. Here are some of the new things that the new bot does:
* Bots have full use of ladders now.
* Bug where RPG dot stayed after bots dying is fixed (this never even happened before the patch, interestingly enough).
* Bots are attacked by snarks and the hornet gun now.
* Hopefully fixed the problem with some systems crashing after chatting was enabled for a while.
Fixed problem with real clients not being able to chat with eachother while running the bot.
* Fixed problem with real clients not being able to chat with eachother while running the bot.
* Fixed bug that allowed bots to chat to non-client entities.
* Hopefully fixed bug that caused keeping speedup set at 0 to crash some systems.
* Bots perform better with waypoints under water.
Sound interesting? Then get it here.

Welcome to the NEW TFC News site. This site is going to be dedicated to issues that concern TFC, Half-Life, and Sniping. I will not be posting Clan Match news because there is already enough sites that give that kind of information out. Some of this info will be repeated throughout the web but that is O.K. Because the more people who know the more we will all be informed.

On Wednesday the 18th Valve released a patch that upgrades your TFC version to 1.0.1.3. If you have not dled this patch you better. Valve also released a new server upgrade on Sunday. If you favorite server has upgraded and you have not then you will not be able to access the server until you do. On the down side. If you upgrade and the server hasn't then you still won't be able to play. This seems like a bug to me. But hopefully everyone will upgrade (servers and players) and the problem will go away. You can get the new patch from

WARNING!!! This patch WILL overwrite your autoexec.cfg file!! MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE!!!

Here is something of interest to server admins running Linux. The following taken from the valve hlds mailing list:

The Linux Server bzero fix is now uploaded to our FTP server. I also think we have resolved our FTP problems so people should have a lot less trouble logging onto the FTP server. There are two files on the FTP server at /linux: hlds_l30133014.tar.gz (323,056k) hlds_l3014.tar.gz (86,440,903k)

ftp : ftp.valvesoftware.com (63.75.210.3)
login : hlserver
password : hlserver13

The first file is for people that are running into the error with the 3.0.1.3 release. The second file is the full Linux server with the bzero error fix. Both the 3.0.1.3 and 3.0.1.4 servers will authenticate properly after the release. I moved the hlds_l3013.tar.gz into the /linux/old folder, as anyone that will be downloading the full server should grab the 3.0.1.4 release. Sorry you all ran into this, hopefully this gives you all enough time to be up and running by 10:00am PST tomorrow morning.

Here is a cool link to a page that keeps up with you and your clan when you play on public servers.http://www.theclq.com . This page allows you to drill down to the individual players that are currently playing. If you look for me you will find out that I REALLY suck!! I have to pratice harder now that I know that "everyone" can find out what I am doing.
