Iceball Event 2: Event Harder (Sat 29 June, 10pm GMT)

[KillerShot]

Ok, I'll try to came if you don't mind.
But I might not be there.

So after those 60 minutes, will the server shut down or can we just continue playing?

cough_long the idea of these "events" is to get the critical mass needed for iceball/powerthirst/0.76 so we can break out of the nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing-so-nobody-joins-so-nobody-is-playing long_cough

Event is starting, we have quite a few people here, it's fun!

That was heaps of fun, thank you all for coming. We peaked at 5v5 which is our all-time record \:D/ but most of the time it was 4v4 /D:\ which is still pretty good! \:D/

Blue Master Race won, 3 caps to 2.

Yes, I have confirmed that the frame rate gets worse over time, we'll need to look into that - personally I blame the shitload of 1-cube PMFs chewing up VBOs, so I might make a minimum-cubes-required thing before VBOs are actually used.

The server will definitely stay up (it's meant to be 24/7), although I might reset it back to 256x256 as it's a much better size for 1v1 and 2v2.

Anyhow, the scores have been reset.

Here's a shot ripped from the vid (Green then ended up getting another cap before the game ended):



Final score! (cbf cropping it b/c gimp is being annoying):



Note, people relogged because their framerate was getting worse over time, so this isn't exactly representative of everyone's scores.

EDIT: Oh I nearly forgot, moment of the match:

Here's a short video of the event.

[VladVP]

TIL Iceball doesn't look like fucking shit anymore...

NYYEEEE... uhh.. NYOOOOOO

[GreaseMonkey]

Artic: Oh good, those grenades DID hurt you.

Anyhow, I'll have to find a time when I'm the only one here to upload this 240p shit quality 142MB .mp4 of the whole match, as it'll take ages (128kbit upload).
