Topic: Field of view Online Challenge 3 - A race contest

The FOC is dead, long live the FOC!

That is right, boys and girls! We are back with the better than ever all old...I mean all new FOC - the Field of view Online Challenge! (d-man, the founder of Futurelink doesn´t play much Warsow anymore.)

For those who don´t know what is the FOC, please read these threads:
FOC1:         http://www.warsow.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=13086
FOC1 Results:    http://www.warsow.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=13120

FOC2:         http://www.warsow.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15286
FOC2 Results:    http://www.warsow.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15389

And this time Devilray2000 (AKA Dray2k, thats me big_smile) will provide administration with the generous support from FoV (AKA Field of View.) who will also be an administratorr.

This challenge will take place on 29.08. 20:00 GMT +1 (Over 2 Years after the second one, OMG!)

You will need the newest version of War§ow: http://www.warsow.net/?page=download

The rules for our contest are:

1. The server and the mapname will be available in about an hour before the contest starts. The mapname will be kept secret until the server runs. It will be PASSWORD PROTECTED to make sure only willing racers join (password will be posted in this thread a few hours before the challenge starts) PEOPLE CAN JOIN THE CHALLENGE AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE CHALLENGE RUNS. The challenge ends, when all the participants finished their races.

2. When the challenge starts, each player who wants to participate in this contest will have to chose a specific number (for example 1.Dray2k - you decide what number you want to have), while furthermore THE PLAYER MAY WEAR NO CLAN TAG. The player with number 1 is going to race at first, the one with number 2 will start as second, etc...

3. Each player has exactly FIVE minutes to finish the map, while the fastest time each player achieves counts as his valid time. During these five minutes, each player has unlimited tries to finish the map as fast as possible. The player who achieves the overall fastest time will be WINNER of the constest. If the

4. ALL PLAYERS ARE FORCED TO SPECTATE, WHILE A GIVEN PLAYER IS INSIDE THE RACE; if someone joins the race, starts to play and therefore violates this rule, he / she will be kicked. This rule is only valid when the contest itself is running and NOT during WARMUP TIME, so be free to warm up as long as you want before the challenge.

5. When a player is racing for the contest, everyone else has to talk using teamchat function (to provide fair gameplay); so please don´t spam while somebody is racing, as this may be annoying for some people. Violation of these rules will be followed by kick.

6. To ensure that most people dont get demotivated or start worrying about their times, all records Will NOT show up in the scoareboard. The times will be evaluated shortly after the challenge. We hope this rule will make more people want to join into the competition.

7. Certain kind of movement patterns such as the famous wallstrafe and prejumping aren´t allowed due to their controverse usability and will result in disqualification.

8. Fun is always a good thing, so just have fun and enjoy yourself.

EDIT: SERVER IP AND PASSWORD ANNOUNCEMENT!

Type "connect 212.117.165.6:44400" inside the console without the " of course, also copy and paste works!

The server password is: foc3

As with the warsow tv server, enter "connect 212.117.165.6:44440" (it doesn´t have any password.)

See you in the game!

Hi Dray smile
Will you provide tv support ? I would love being able to watch the races and I guess many people too.
Good luck for the competition and thank you for bringing that on the wsw scene.

Re: Field of view Online Challenge 3 - A race contest

Is there any way we can get the maps that will be run in the competition altogether? wswtv doesn't offer map downloads and it's hard to find them.

No pigs were harmed in the making of this game.

¡Puxa Sporting!

Re: Field of view Online Challenge 3 - A race contest

Thanks for the comp it was fun though requires quite some patience from the specs so don't be surprised that it takes a long time for a good run to come by. :~~
