AMCoder's Playhouse Manual Parry [24/7 Island]

Spirrwell · February 2016

Hello everyone! I've lowered the player limit to 24, re-enabled autobalance, and have left manual parry. I will do a separate post in more detail about this

Also I intend to add saysounds, but currently, there's only about... um... two. Literally. SO! If you guys have any clips\suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate that! Also Asuka... I know you're going to suggest boba... I know it... I see it coming...

I hope you enjoy your time here. Have fun guys!

I had lots of fun, there was almost nonstop action everywhere

possible to make it 36 players? :emot-awesome:

That way when you make the custom server, the maps with a disabled team wont be unbalanced

I don't know I forgot at what point the server crashes... At a certain point of max players it will crash the server, otherwise, I'd totally do a 64 player server. I mean, RIP performance, but I still...

Notice:

I put a warning on my server's MOTD about this, but I figured I'd post it here. I have implemented Slammin Butt Pirates' ban list that was supposed to take effect on 3/16/16. I didn't realize it needed a server restart to take effect and so it only kicked in recently, but I just wanted to let people know that this is the reason why they may be banned.

Ha this is insane! Love it! Curious tho, What is our recommended amount now?
18 or 24? I remember when Crazytalk or peepee posted saying 18.

Current max limit is 24, 18 feels optimal for me considering current official map sizes. Debatable of course.

Great server... utter chaos.

Popemaster · April 2016

Do you have it set where the blocking method defaults to inverted keys movement? I noticed no matter what I change it to, only on your server, it stays inverted. Are you aware of this? Could be a bug, I'm not sure, every other server blocks how I have it set in options.

Spirrwell · April 2016

My server is manual parry only, but you're saying that it only allows the movement keys inverted version of it? You can't set it to use the mouse or anything? Because if that's the case, that is a bug. Auto parry should be the only thing disabled.

Edit: Yeah, I just tested it myself on my own server, that is definitely a bug, I will try to look into fixing it. Thanks for reporting it!

El Negro · April 2016

Just allow any block method and ye're done.

Spirrwell · April 2016

Nope, already fixed in dev build. Auto parry will remain disabled forever on my server

El Negro · April 2016

What's the real point of forcing manual parry if the whole server is not exactly dedicated for "serious" gameplay?

This isn't like adding some extremely creepy backstory behind a very funny, childish cartoon.

Spirrwell · April 2016

My server is dedicated to the hardcore island player who likes a bit more of a challenge. Honestly my opinion on auto parry is that it's stupid. Not everyone shares that view, but it is mine.

It's as silly as it would be adding an auto attack direction. All I'm doing is putting all the control into the player's hands as opposed to a more automated system. It allows you to play off the fact the person parrying is human.

Anyway, this discussion is off topic, my server is manual only and that's final.

Slammin Butt Pirates is your next best alternative.

Actually I would create an LTS server with my 33 players, but the waiting would be horrendous. I think Freeze Tag would be a COOL addition to LTS as an option.

El Negro · April 2016

I'm actually getting annoyed of this "attitude" I've been getting.

Every time I try to make an argument/discussion, I get taken as either a joke or some kind of idiot.
Then there goes the typical "this is off-topic". Just because it's an argument and all of you, probably, just consider it as yet another ranter ranting.

Now let me get out of my own "sentimentalism/populism-of-sorts" crap and get...On-topic.

Just because you hate auto-parry, it doesn't mean everybody hates it and will share "your opinion". I got friends who like it, and of course I like it myself.

I don't see how 33 players with instant-spawn, and as a bonus of sorts, most of them being European yet this server is American, is for "hardcore players".

Be wary, I'm not defending myself at all nor my friends, only slightly, yet I could understand it as thought of that. I just want a better experience for me and my friends (this is not too contradictory). I can't say about the rest, I bet they're careless and the majority sadly completely unaware and unable to express themselves.

Tell me, is it wrong that even if you and I are very stubborn I still want to enjoy in your server with auto-parry allowed and manual being optional?

And to settle the score somehow, if you want some of my "likes" from you, I'm glad you (temporarily?) changed the map to 24/7 Cara, so I thank you for that.

Spirrwell · April 2016

Actually my server crashed, and they're both down at the moment, but I plan to put them both back up.

I haven't been giving you attitude, it's simply my server, I pay for it, my rules. It's that simple

It's my server, and the fact that it's American is simply because that's where I live. Whether a server be European or American should have no bearing on it being for "hardcore" players

I've always wanted an instant respawn 33 player manual parry server. I wanted instant respawn because I hate respawn time, a major reason I also dislike LTS. I wanted 33 players, because it's utter chaos and makes the game much harder. (inspiration came from instant respawn 32 player TF2 ctf_2fort servers) And manual parry is simply how PVKII was originally made, and personally it makes more logical sense to me.

As long as I am paying for the server, it's going to be this way. I'm sorry, that's in no way an attitude towards you, just simply how it's going to be.

Beroxardas · April 2016

Excuse me.
I am using auto parry all the time, and I have seen no difference at all at your server, what do you mean with this being disabled? Or am I breaking the rules, as the server rules are not to use auto parry?
Its your server, your rules, I like the idea of insta respawn, but I laughed a bit when you described it hardcore. I played it many times, and comparing to euros, or even sbp, it has a huge base of dinahs. I guess you are considering this hardcore in another way, for example with this parrying- which, as I mentioned, I am not understanding right now.

Spirrwell · April 2016

Auto parry is disabled on my server, it's disabled, period. mp_autoblock 0 will disable auto parry on a server.

Anyway, in response to your hardcore thing, I'm guessing you might've been responding before I made my last post.

To expand upon that, as a player anybody can play casually or non-casual. But I've made it an environment that allows more of a hardcore environment. However it may make more sense to say it's more competitive than "hardcore" PVKII itself is silly in nature.

'smashy · April 2016

So... Fixed in dev build? Ok.
When is it gonna be applied in general? People are complaining about the inverted parry.

Spirrwell · April 2016

Eh, I don't see the harm in saying since people were actually trying to join it earlier. We're currently in RC, or release candidate mode. Meaning we're releasing very soon. There's a few minor issues left to deal with, and unless something bizarre happens, which has happened in the past, we should be ready to release by early May.

Bagas · April 2016

Auto-block disabled is cool, but do you know what would be cooler?
If you could disable full charged atk... If that was possible I would rent a server of my own...

Spirrwell · April 2016

Uh... If the full charged attack was disabled, somebody who's perfectly skilled in parrying would destroy you. That doesn't sound like a good idea.

Bagas · April 2016

Thats how it should be, experience to be better... If someone gets destroyed it just means you need more experience...

Spirrwell · April 2016

No it doesn't, you have ranged weapons, and if you're bent on using melee, you could become equally skilled at parrying. Then it's going to be a battle of attack->parry->back away, and go nowhere fast. Yes I know you get stunned, but quite often you can back away enough to escape a perfect parry counter.

But again, ranged weapons. It's not like you can parry those or parry with those. Though honestly it would be kind of funny if you could cut the archer's arrows.

From internal testing long time ago this was shown to be a really really bad change, one only had to parry and never attack to always win the vast majority of the time.

Mayday · May 2016

Hey Spirrwell. I know manual parry is fun and skill-based, but is there any way that you can consider not forcing it server-wide? It puts the knights and pirates at a significant disadvantage over the viking gestirs due to their muted directional attacks.

Spirrwell · May 2016

I'm sorry, I really prefer it to be server wide. There's always the ability to have the HUD enabled which can show attack direction. Also I believe there's some custom animation thingy that makes it easier to see the Gestir's attack direction, but I've only heard about it, never tried it out. Regardless, I'm keeping the server the way it is.

I may create another server that allows auto parry. If that splits the player base, I'll accept it, but I just don't like auto parry.

Another thing I've been potentially planning on doing is having kills give HP\armor to give it a more balanced feel. I know people complain about how instant respawn gives defenders an advantage, but I think it works both ways.

Links have made an excellent solution for Gestir, here is the link:

http://www.mediafire...yvf5/Gestir.vpk

You can clearly see direction of Gestir attack with it.
Installation: Put the file "Gestir.vpk" into folder "custom", which you can find in folder "pvkii".

Disclaimer: This piece of great work belongs to Links 121995; I just pasted the link from another topic.

Spirrwell · November 2016

Just letting people know that for miscellaneous reasons, this server has moved from Atlanta, GA to New York, NY. This should bring the server much closer to the east cost and therefore slightly better ping to those in some countries overseas. Somewhere between 700-800 miles closer.

The new IP is: 66.150.121.208
Port: 27015

First post has been updated with those details.

Spirrwell · March 2017

Hello everyone!

I've changed up my servers to do a bit of rebranding. The 33 player thing has caught on and I haven't really been playing a whole lot lately. I've decided to dial it back. I wanted to do something new and exciting with this concept, but more and more servers are following and so I don't see my idea as being "new and exciting" any more. My servers will be more traditional. No more 33 players, no more instant respawn, and autobalance is back on. Manual parry is here to stay though.

I also plan to put up some competitive servers of my own when we do the upcoming 3.6 release which should include a competitive option for servers.
