J2 Lobby

Post by stabbyclaus » Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:55 pm

I've been mulling over this idea to create a map that let's you choose what server to play on. Tf4, Jump, etc but all by walking into certain doors instead of a list in the tf2 lobby.

Kinda pointless sure, but it might be fun to have an actual "hang out spot" online where at anytime we can see all servers & their activity, plus just generally fuck around with all non-combat related stuff you can do. Got any additions you'd wanna see?

So this is what I think I'll need:
-Some kind of trigger that'll load up "connect [ip]" in console.
-Simple open lobby with two doors or hallways for each running server, more if the additional engie servers are there.
-A server to host it on

If people actually want this, we can set up a server easily.

I'm just not sure about it. We only run two tf2 servers.

As a combination achievement/deathmatch server, it sounds like a good idea

Personally, I don't see it being that useful, either you want the jump server, the normal server, or you want counter strike.

However, I'm thinking of lots of ways to have fun making this map. You can filter players by steamid, so we could create an admins only or a vip only room, for whatever that's worth.

I think we should get all the interested mappers together on this. (I'm interested)

And we can use event scripts for great justice.

I could easily do this with a plugin. Just make the map and have the hallways lead to a named func_trigger or something so I can hook it's OnTouch output and present the player with a connection dialogue where all they would do is have to hit the connect button (F3 by default) and it would redirect them over.

Sorry for the double post but we ran a poll in TF4, 66% said they'd use it or like to have it. Main reasons being:
-People without J2 folks on their friendlists can see all servers.
-establishes as easy location for all servers & their stats in-game.

I'd also suggest the map having a "how to" on binding a key to return to lobby.
