A bit of backstory: Back in the day,[en.wikipedia.org] I used to admin a counter-strike source server and it was awesome fun - we had a great little community. As life moved on, so did the players (mostly to CS:GO).

Fast-forward 10 years and I find L4D2 and the tank maps by obez which are epic and can provide hours of fun, I'm sure a lot of you will agree.

As great as the tank maps are, with 8+ players there comes problems which need to be solved. Like when you fall from an edgegrab and can't be defibbed for the rest of the game. obez himself says that this is unfixable in the map itself.

So it's my mission to fix these problems as a server administrator, and also to create a fun playing environment for anyone who wants to join in.

Future: I like vanilla tanks. Okay, vanilla with strawberry syrup. I love spawning launchers and mollys on playground because I get bored of running and like to kill tanks. If you get 8 pro pirates you can pin them in and rip them to shreds. But I dont want crazy tank mods or game-breaking-op-weapons. All of the plugins on the server either add to the gameplay or make administration simpler.

If you think a feature detracts from the game, that's cool. We would encourage all players to the steam group chat, the server, discord, or here, as a place to discuss that. Development work is always in progress - though we also have other commitments so it sometimes takes a while!

The bounty is a non-profit project supported by our community, and as such we rely on donations to help with running costs. If you would like to donate, you can do so here.[kraken.infosystems.uk] Big thanks go out to all who have helped us to get our dedicated server online.

If you have a suggestion or request, please feel free to start a discussion!

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen, savvy?

I wanted to wait a while before posting this, because the way we do things have been changing around somewhat, and I didn’t want to have to keep updating this article.

Firstly, the old “rank” system is still in use - I have simply moved its functions to XP points. XP is what your prefix (Deckhand, Pirate, etc.) is based on, and Cap’n’s have access to exclusive functions which we should have time to expand in the future. XP is earned by killing tanks, specials, and by helping fellow team mates. To show your XP, the command is:

!xp

The new stats system stores your kills, deaths and so on, in our database. From this information your server ranking is calculated, and all your global stats can be displayed with the command:

!stats

If you want to see your stats just for the current campaign you are playing, you can instead use:

!session

If you want to see how many points your session stats translate to, use:

!top

Finally, you can see your server ranking, overall points, and the ranks and points of players around you by typing:

!rank

Pirate-of-the-game goes to the player with the highest points at the end of a campaign.

There are some things to improve, and a couple of bug fixes which will be addressed in the coming months. I will also add a !top50 command or something similar, so that you can see the top players in the server. I’ll update here when that goes live.

Merci beaucoup mes amis.

Music Player

Ladies and gentlemen..

The music player for the server is complete.

I had taken a break from coding over the summer to enjoy the outdoors and do some other activities, but my fingers have started to get cold so I’ll be getting back to pushing server improvements from now on.

Sadly, during testing it became apparent that, uploading all the music files to players on server connection is not practical for a number of reasons. The main reason being, that the sound files themselves total around 161MB. It might not sound like much but if I upload those files to every player who connects that adds up to a huge amount of data, and increases load times drastically for new players. That’s a big problem for a function which is disabled by default.

The good news is that if you want to download the files yourself and add them to your game folder, it’s pretty simple, and here are the instructions:

Download the music files here[bounty.infosystems.uk].

Extract the sound directory to your game directory. The default path for the sound files is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left4dead2\sound\general\*.mp3

Once you’ve done that, you can enable or disable music in-server using the command:

!music

I turned the play volume down to 80% - I'll consider feedback if people think that is too quiet or too loud. It's also worth noting that if you really don't like a song, just delete it from the \sound\general folder and it wont play when the server triggers it.

Let me know if you run into any problems. Enjoy!

Morning
