@Renegade Pig is in my hand

A problem of lag / spikes of ping? There is many reasons causing issues on Internet connectivity, and spikes of pings. One of them it the corruption of TCP/IP stack, due to various installations of softwares using (or changing) network settings/configuration, DNS issues or network issues after installing VPN or firewall or after removing malware/virus. This is how you can fix the problem of spikes of ping. Windows Vista/7/8/10 - Open elevated command prompt (in search box type "cmd" and right click on command prompt programm - "Run as Administrator") Then type the following commands: 1 - Reset winsock catalog to default. C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh winsock reset 2 - Reset TCP/IP. C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh winsock reset 3 - Force to give up lease - send DCHP release notification. C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig /release 4 - Tell DHCP server that your PC want to join network and need new IP address. C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig /renew 5 - Clear DNS cache. C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig /flushdns 6- Restart the computer. Here you start with a fresh and clean new TCP/IP stack ---------------------------------- Other topics related to lag issues / How to fix :

Hi everyone, I would like clarification regarding the rush rule on Silent #1. Currently it reads: There is no rush rule on this server but we do encourage people to play the map for a minimum of 5 minutes before completing the final objective so that everyone can enjoy the map. Okay, as per my understanding there is nothing against completing a map before 5 minutes. But it is encouraged to play at least 5 minutes. Now the problem for me is because I am a person who likes to do objective and encourage others to do the same, sometimes I can and do complete the objective before 5 minutes. This leads to server regulars spamming this rush rule in console. I try to explain that there is no rush and it is only encouraged to play a minimum of 5 minutes. But this leads to an argument of why does it say it encourages to play for at least 5 mins etc. This can be quite confusing to some people even though it clearly states you can complete the objective before 5 minutes. So, I would like some clarity on what I should be doing if I see someone else completing the objective before 5 mins and what I should be doing as well as an admin in training in this situation. Should I be telling people who try to do objective before 5 mins to hold off or should I let them complete the objective? Thanks

As for the map, it is nice made, the colour theme is just great and overall the map looks great and has steady fps. Played it now few times. However I think the spawn points are not good being that close to obj and IMO now it is just too easy for allies. Having original spawns with the more accessible ways to guns would do enough. Another issue is the bots, noticed on b2 that allies engies wont plant dynamite, but try to run "through" the gun for some time and once they cant, they give up and leave.

B3 released! Changelog: Waypoints have also been updated, install both here. If you have any feedback feel free to comment in this topic!

We encourage people to play for longer than 5 minutes because if people enjoy that map they'll be frustrated and end up leaving when it gets rushed. Just ask them politely not to rush so that everyone else can enjoy the map. We would prefer people stay on our servers and not leave out of anger. We can open a discussion for changing the rule and making it enforcable if people would like that. I don't know how big of an issue rushing generally is on Silent1. I'd recommend making a new post and opening a poll with options of changing it to be enforcable, leaving it as it is or removing the rule altogether. Edit: If you do make the poll, here would be the place to do it: https://fearless-assassins.com/forum/49-et-suggestion/

I believe the posting a poll requires a certain permission level within the forum. the rush rule has evolved over the years and I think the spam '!rush' command may not be quite up to date as there is no rush rule on Silent 1 and Hardcore. we may need to adjust that since it can be confusing.

Hey Folks Its me PH.Phatrick From the Philippines nice to meet you all here hope you guys take care of me thanks

Hi all, I registered some time ago but never got round to posting. I used to play ET from 2006, running a few servers and I was also a staff member at PBBans.com for a number of years. It's definitely going back some time now....ETPub 0.7.2 and etadmin_mod were in full swing, and PunkBuster was still officially supported! Anyway, due to the current global crises I'm off work for a little while until things get back to normal. So, I've reinstalled ET and found a backup of my old etkey / nkey / silent key etc which I've transferred back over. I'm mostly enjoying your Hardcore ET server, and have been jumping into your standard Silent server when Hardcore is just bots. I did jump onto your Jay1 server but that's a bit chaotic for me! So, I'll see you all on your silent mod servers! Cheers, =BLACKWOLF=

That's great, by the way, loving the map. It's a breath of fresh air in the timeless classic that Oasis already is. Splendid work on that one.

For sure. I agree, thats funny you and hipkat had the same analogy ahah. Maybe we can amend the rule to just say there is no rush rule because the encourage part is very confusing.

Usually when the point of the game is to win it, players look to do that as quickly as possible. So to be honest, I don't really get the rush rule. Maybe on a so called beginner's server, but anywhere else it seems pointless. Analogy to eating would be more like: buffet recommends you to try all foods they serve, but you decide to just eat pizza.

To me it’s like saying you don’t have to eat healthy, but we would encourage you to. Then when you’re at the buffet eating from the Dessert bar and everybody around you is eating a nice salad

Hi everyone, I've been playing some time on Beginners 2 already, so I decided to drop by to say hello. I'm in my mid-20s, hopefully graduating next month. I like studying, especially languages, reading books and playing ET especially since it's not possible to go out that much. I used to play ET 12 years ago or so and wanted to check if it's still working. I even made my bf play with me I usually play as a medic, which is also related to my future career.

oh boy tough week at work. to minnisota to 3 rich as hell peoples houses stayed over nite 1 nite . in minnisota. worked almost 50 hrs in 4 days. have big sore on my knee from plaster last week. got infected .. an i learned how to do beadcrete. was fun. tough week on this old man fur sure.

Good morning ^^

Its quite easy. Just make sure the covert ops doesn't kill you in his first magazine and you win. People calling for the FG to be nerfed just want medic to be the supreme class with no counterplay (because yes, a FG generally beats a medic 1v1 when both are full health with dren, but medic is better in every other game situation. There's a reason medic is still the most used class). And if the complaint is the playstyle (suicide rushing), why not increase the spawn time? 6 seconds spawn time makes death obsolete.

Yes, that is a legit way of playing. Some people camp in their own spawn with mortar and get 100-0 scores without even seeing the enemy once. Some people camp with panzer and blow themselves up when killing you. Some people plant like 30 mines in one choke point so its impossible to move. If it's built in the game then it's legit. Often times using adre is the only way to get pass choke points. Like the caves in Oasis etc... Disabling the hit reduction is good idea. Speed has to stay.

Yes! So cute

The danger is they will change it to: touching the final objective is forbidden. So risky business, this is!

An FG is an FG. I don't see where Dren has much of an impact. I defeat FG's all the time. Perfect example, Helmet Head used FG last night on a few maps, he killed me twice, I killed him with it 7 times by peeking, dropping a few med packs, setting aim, then moving in and out firing short bursts. It's not hard. Even easier from a distance than up close.

Welcome both u and your bf see u in game

Thanks @daredevil It's always great to see new names and players, but even better to see the old names still around after all these years. 12 years....what the hell happened to the time?! It definitely doesn't seem like it's been that long at all.

Heyy Max welcome on the forum See u soon on jay1

@BlackWolf I missed this introduction but I am just glad to found you! Years back when I was rookie, you helped me in many ways. I have moved you to clan friend status till the day, you decide to join us. Your help, 12 years before, isn't forgotten and will never be in future as well. I still remember, you helping, others at PBBans, gameservers.com forum, etc. Glad to see you and welcome to our site. Little late welcome but better late then never!

No showstoppers were found during a crucial flight readiness review (FRR) for SpaceX's Demo-2 mission, keeping the company's first-ever crewed flight on track for a May 27 liftoff, NASA officials announced today (May 22). "The Flight Readiness Review has concluded, and NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission is cleared to proceed toward liftoff on the first crewed flight of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program," NASA officials wrote in an update today. SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule sits ready for launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket on Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On Wednesday (May 27), two NASA astronauts will launch to the International Space Station for the first crewed test flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The Crew Dragon and Falcon 9 rocket reached the launch site on Thursday (May 21). (Image: © SpaceX) Demo-2 will send NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, which will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. The mission will be the first orbital human spaceflight to depart from American soil since NASA retired its space shuttle fleet in July 2011. Ever since then, the space agency has relied completely on Russian Soyuz rockets and spacecraft to get its astronauts to and from the orbiting lab. NASA is counting on SpaceX and Boeing to end that dependence. In 2014, the agency awarded SpaceX $2.6 billion to finish development of the Crew Dragon-Falcon 9 system and fly six operational crewed missions to the ISS. Boeing got a similar, $4.2 billion deal at the same time, which the aerospace company will fulfill using a capsule called CST-100 Starliner. "It was an excellent review," NASA associate administrator Steve Jurczyk said during a teleconference with reporters today. "There are no significant open issues, I am happy to report." But there are still some boxes to tick before Demo-2 can get off the ground. For example, this afternoon, SpaceX will conduct a "static fire" of the Falcon 9 that will launch the mission, testing out its first-stage engines while the rocket remains tethered to the ground. And tomorrow (May 23), the teams will hold a "dry dress" exercise, during which Behnken and Hurley will suit up and the teams will run through many of the procedures that will occur on launch day. Data from these two tests, as well as other information, will then be analyzed in detail on Monday (May 25) during a final launch readiness review. "We're going to stay vigilant over the next few days," Kathy Lueders, NASA's Commercial Crew Program manager, said during today's telecon. "We're going to take it one step at a time, and we're going to still fly when we're ready." Videos and more: https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-dragon-demo-2-go-for-launch.html

Welcome Gabriel

Hello and welcome to the forums

I can't believe that with all the games I played before 2003, ET is the one I still play almost daily. All the people I've met and encountered, the servers, the communities and community as a whole and awesome people like @daredevil & @schNee & @Aniky and many others who are working so hard to keep it going!! There'll never be another game like this, ever!

its on jay3

Hey !

Happy Birthday, @ed_! I hope you have a great day today!

Maybe this looks a little "subjective" because this happens -sometimes-. This is why Lorthae is a genius FG42 and movement-handler. This is no reason to weaken the FG42, because a player is "too good". This ? What? The reason why MED-Packs are okay is "they need no skills" ? O_o' I thought a game like this benefits "skills" ... uhm? Or am I landed on a wrong planet now? Same again when skill makes a waepon good, manipulate that waepon until it is not good? Sorry but I am reacting sensitive on "secretly bullying" between the lines. In that case Jiren could have said you are just a noob. This would be more directly and more open. Absolutely agreed. There are enough FA servers to play without dren. No reason to take the fun from players wich like dren.

Hey there! Welcome!
