CHANNEL CONDUCT

Remember that not everyone that plays pickups are amazing, or any good at all, pickup is not just for those “pros” of the community, it is a tool for those new to the game to get to know gametypes and improve also, as a result I will also issue bans to anyone seen flaming someone for their skill level in a game, do not make it harder for those new to the game than it already is, help them out, give them pointers, help the game grow, maybe we can keep a steady player base this time!

HOW IT WORKS

Use the command !add where gametype is whatever you want to play, it is possible to add to multiple games with !add .If for some reason you have to go before a pickup starts use the !remove command.When one gametype is full echbot will query you with the server and password as well as telling you the captains.Use your IRC nick on the game server to prevent confusion.If only spectating put 'spec' in your name.Everyone except the captains specs so player picking can begin. If captains are uneven new captains can be assigned.First pick is decided by a cointoss using the 'cointoss heads' or 'cointoss tails' command.Captain who lost cointoss and therefore first pick can callvote map AFTER all players have been picked. If that fails they can callvote a different map unless they are happy on current map.

RULES

Do not act lame, no matter if you are signed or not.Use a nick similar to your IRC nick - will make picking fair teams easier.You must be at the server within 5 minutes, after which any other player may take your place.Once a captain has picked the first player no late-joiners may play.If you are unable to play your replacement must be at the server before the same 5 minute deadline.Once a player has accepted to sub he is regarded as a signed player.Always stay the entire match.If you must leave a match, get a sub by writing "1 needed at {ip} for {gametype}" in #warsow.pickup and/or other warsow channels.Do not leave before your sub is on the server and ready to join.Connection time outs are regarded as regular disconnects, unless the player rejoins server as soon as possible.Callvote kick is only allowed if the server is full or a player timed out. Do not vote to kick signed players.If anyone breaks the rules and a channel operator is available, then a temporary ban will be made.

EXPLANATION OF WARSOW CTF:

Due to Warsow's speed the dev's decided to take a slightly different approach to capture the flag, in essence it is just like any CTF gametype in other DM games but to slow it down a bit we have timers.
The timers are at the enemy flag and at your flag.
When taking the enemies flag you must stay in the capture area (space around the flag defined in code) for 3.5s and then it is unlocked and you can run back to base with it.
When you are back at your base you must stay in the capture area for 2s at which point you gain a point on the scoreboard.
When you get knocked out of the capture area there is a freeze time on the timer of 600ms and after that the timer starts to go back down also if you do go out it means a team mate with more health or shell can takeover unlocking the flag because they will have a better chance of getting back to base.

EXPLANATION OF WARSOW CA:

In Warsow Clan Arena is just like in any other game with a slight twist, there are Classes.
The 3 Classes are Camper, Grunt and Spammer.
Each class has the full load of weak ammo, but each class has different set of strong ammo for 2 of the weapons each.
Camper's strong ammo is for the Electrobolt and Grenade Launcher.
Grunt's strong ammo is for the Rocket Launcher and Riot Gun.
Spammer's strong ammo is for the Laser Gun and Plasma Gun.

BANS

The following are guidelines for the ban period for some violations and may be subject to change without prior notice. Bans may be lengthened if repetitive offenses occur.

No-show: 1day
Disconnect without sub: 12hours to 1day depending on when in the game. If it was within 5 minutes of the end the ban time will be shorter.
Kicking a signed player will result in a 3 - 6hour ban to the person that called the vote.
Attempts to evade bans, be it on IRC or on Warsow server, will result in a double ban period.
Not following channel conduct: 12hours to one day.

Good luck + Have fun :)

yeah, i have no idea who handles all this now though, i used to just get relfy to do it for me :P

what if ammo respawn was 10 in ctf? Bit stupid to have it 20 when wep respawns are 5.

you have weak ammo when you pick up a weapon

who do you guys want to takeover pickup completely, i'm giving up on this dead ass game now. since no one seems to care anymore.

Damn I love pickups!

hello there
I don't know exactly where I should post this, but I also didn't want to make a new thread for that.
This is the situation:
I will release a new ca map pretty soon, it will become one of the most beautiful custom maps ever made, will include a very nice gameplay and will hopefully be played often (maybe it will even push wca1 from its throne :P ).
In the map there will be one or two screens which will show different advertisments of warsow communities, like e.g. the warsow.mapping channel at irc. The advertisments will be switched after some seconds, just like the Warsow billboards.

I want to push with that simple way some specific communities/channels/websites, and it would be great if one of it would be the warsow.pickup channel.
Now what I want:
So I need a banner of the warsow.pickup channel, and if anyone can make one, I will include it in the screen(s) for sure.
The banner needs to be 512x256 (width x height), be in the tga format (12 or 24bit/pixel). It should include the name of the community/channel, the irc channel address, maybe a nice background (warsow style for sure) and maybe a short slogan which should include what this community is about.
Also, as I have a special form of screens, the text shouldn't go into the black areas of this layer:




So, if anyone would be so kind to make one, I will implement it. If you want to make one, please say it here, so that people aren't making multiple ones.
You have about 2-3 weeks time, probably longer, if noone made one I will release the map without that specific banner.

Thanks and goodbye so far ;)
