Friendly match

[ButchCassidy]

Hi lads

How do you guys fancy a friendly match using custom maps in CODWaW?

I was thinking of maybe setting one up Sunday 1st May?

You know how to get hold of me if you fancy a bash..

[Falkwing]

Thanks for the invite Butch, I'd be interested.

[PigTrader]

I'd be too. BUT since I've changed from Vista to Win7 I keep getting kicked by PunkBuster for the PnkBstrB.exe failing to initialize. I have done ALL what evenbalance.com suggests to fix it so now I have placed a ticket with their support to solve it. Dunno how long that'll take though...

[Villan]

I'd be up for this..

[Maggot]

Could we maybe have a peek at the custom maps first :p

[r1ncewind]

not got the game any more so wont be joining in sorry.

[ButchCassidy]

Ok lads

I'll post it up as confirmed with say a tentative 8v8?
Start time of 8.30pm on Sunady 1st may ok?

I'll be in touch with server ip etc but if someone could confirm numbers later this week i'd be grateful..

[Maggot]

Ok, now I'm feeling like a tease but I just looked at my rota and I'm working lates on 1/5/11 so I can't be in earlier than 10.30pm :(

I'd still have liked to see the maps though, don't think we ever used any custom maps on cod5.

[ButchCassidy]

I'll set up a download sometime in the week and let you guys have a link..

[Falkwing]

So far we have:

Falky
LA
Pig Trader (hopefully)
Villan.

Any more for any more? Rince, get yourself a copy of the game and get stuck in. :sqgrowl:

[r1ncewind]

bog off! ive already re-bought cod2 lol. :sqeek:

[BuLLiTT]

re-buy rince? do you not keep anything at all?

yes count me in as I've still got mine :razz:

[Lord]

i can joine that game

[Maggot]

Bear in mind that practice, even after downloading the maps, will only be possible on the TWB server as there are issues with custom maps on our linux based server.

Practice? Practice??! You are kidding, right?

TWB will know the maps and we won't. That's a TR recipe for success.

Rubs chin : hmmmm

[ButchCassidy]

Sent you a PM Falky with all the details feel free to try the server out and even pratice a little..lol...No we don't know the maps as our only WaW server is a stock map TDM, so it should be a lot of fun..
We have set it to Domination as it usually means fighting all over the map..

[Falkwing]

Thanks Butch, I'll inform the troops.

Prepare for a punch-up then! ;-)

[ButchCassidy]

No probs..I have added voting so just rotate through the maps as its only those customs on the server...I hope you like em as i think they are some the best customs I have seen..

[Falkwing]

Cheers Butch, will take a peep tonight.

To everybody who's signed up, please check you PMs for server details.

Done..........................

[Falkwing]

Small problem though...... does anyone know where we're supposed to install the files? :sad:

You put the new maps in the usermaps folder,(you may have to make one).
/C/Documents and settings/your user name/Local settings/Application Data/Activision/CoDWaW/usermaps.
TWB are running a mod on the server, this will down load to the mod folder.


just unzipped the maps to my pc, all you have to do is unzip to the CoDWaW folder, it will create the usermap folder for you.

[Falkwing]

Thanks LA, sorted.

Villan, you organised yet? Maybe we ought to have a little practice. 8-)

[r1ncewind]

i might buy it tomorrow if its cheap. :sad:

[Maggot]

Although I can't play on the day I'm going to install it on the new machine for any future run arounds. However, this made me thought to mention - to anyone thinking of installing this just before they play......

the maps from falky's link are about 300mb
the patches for the game weigh in at around 4gb or so
and pb has to get happy with the set up too

so I suggest anyone playing in the match sets up well in advance.

[Falkwing]

Good advice Maggs (Gives Rince & Villan a Paddington Bear stare).

Already had a run around on the TWB server myself, had no PB woes.

[BuLLiTT]

tried to get my game running but no success. extracted the map pack to relevant place but I think its 'cos ive got a new os so may have to re-install :(

[Villan]

Done & tested.

[Falkwing]

Done & tested.

Quick practice tonight? :sqhappy::sqfrown::sqeek::sqrolleyes:

I noticed TWB having a practice session last night.

[ButchCassidy]

Many thanks for the match guys.
It was a good night night..Nice to play a match against the "old foe".

I hope we can set something up agin soon maybe COD4 next time?

[r1ncewind]

now your talking! ive got cod4. :sqbiggrin:

[Falkwing]

now your talking! ive got cod4. :sqbiggrin:

I'll turn up if Rince does. :sqwink:
