Carpal Tunnel Clan

Hey, to all here, CTC or UT2k4 players! I know you've met my clanmates ac_tipper and ac_Godsmack (from DES), and I thought I'd be another to show up on your forums. I'm R4zor, also a member of DES. I've been playing AssaultCube for over a year and a half. After reading a post on our forums, I just had to see what this business is all about

(ac_)tipper has been pushing all of us into getting what I hope will be a great and powerful game/engine. No, I don't have UT2k4 quite yet, but it's on the way (Monday, hopefully). Just wait, I'll start up the game and get slaughtered by all of you pros, who apparently have been playing for yearrs...

so I will say greetings and get out of your hair for now. I'll post again when I have the game and can tell you all how horribly even single player owned me

Hello and welcome! Let us know when you get the game!

Yes, welcome new friend. We welcome all levels of players here. We have two servers actually and I know that you can find someone to take you to the private server and show you the ropes. If your ac clan mates would like to meet there, we can have a friendly "get to know each other" session if you'd like.

It's always great to see new blood here!

ditto... nice to see you at the forum. I played a few rounds with ac_tipper last nice. Nice guy and gg's. Looking forward to seeing you on the server.

Think we might take you up on the private server tutorial Salchicha when a few more of us have got sorted with the game. Atm its get on, plug the arse, cross fingers and duck a lot
This is how we are doing atm http://www.des.designweapon.com/bb/view ... f=63&t=988
Next week we should have a private server for UT up. Given I'm doing it i cant say up and running
If some of your members would like to play a bit of DM and CTF which is what I shall start with in the map rot, perhaps you might be interested in having a pass?

Sounds good, we can have an intelligence exchange, ha ha.

Hit me up on the pub if you see me and we'll see what we can do.

Get in there my son!

I'm Up for some DM or CTF and I'm sure there are other's that would join just put a Date
and Time on it and we can do this.

And if you need More DM maps just let me know we have alot on our private server
and I think 95% of them I have in a map pack on Filefront.

We are looking forward to your clan joining In the UT community.

Thanks,
Gamibit

Instead of opening a whole new topic and such, I might as well say hi here.

Hello all AC members. If you guys are interested, I enjoy helping players improve their skills and try to reach a high level of play. Sometimes it is hard for people to do this because it is hard for them to break old, bad habits, but considering you guys are brand new to this game, I bet you could all benefit from this immensely and learn how to play the right way without developing bad habits. I can teach you movement, strategy, fragging skills or whatever else you may need.

My team has a server that we can use for this training. With CTC helping you and Meh (my team) helping you, you guys can take huge steps in improving yourselves without the years worth of learning curve that this game requires.

It would be cool to get your whole team on some time and I can go over things with all of you at once. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Hi!

hello ruthlessssss,

welcome

I got the game last night, and have been trying to get my head around it ever since. The game is so vast! In comparison to my usual FPS (~10 gamemodes, ~7 weapons) this game in a monster. There are so many options, guns, vehicles. Dodges, double jumps, alternate fire. I have a little trouble telling teams apart, and my fps suffers a little at mid-low settings. For a low system requirement though, the graphics are simply art, as well as the maps.

I still find the game terribly addicting and fun Before even trying IA or SP I joined your public vctf server and promptly was blasted against a wall. Since then I've tried to learn a few vctf and dm maps. I know the layout of a few but the idea of picking up weapons is new to me (I'll have to memorize where some spawns are.) This morning I started reading the manual. It shed some light as to wtf the objective is in Onslaught

I hope I can learn a bit more about UT and try and find my 'home terrain'. And I hope some of you guys can help

I really dislike the way the bullet release is delayed if your ping is bad. Being aussie means I don't get ~300 ping in a lot of servers, and it bugs me, being mainly a sniper (lightning gun, shock rifle) user, that my shot is delayed and misses.

But, anyway, it isn't too bad on your Public VCTF server. I had a game on there just then with MrBean and Mudpuppet and the map was simple enough, so I managed not to come last. Of course, I was burned 9/10 times by a rocket or vehicle - loooonnng way to go. But I hope to play with you all soon

(this FPS is really getting to me. I use 640x480, 16bit colour depth and the lowest settings possible and I hardly get 50+ fps. I don't suppose there are any undermined tricks to boost it? )

Could you give us a little info on your computer? Maybe we can help.

I know my laptop isn't meant for games, and I was expecting low FPS. But I didn't expect it to be _this_ bad on the lowest settings.
