Title: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Mangala on December 14, 2008, 11:20:20 PM
Here is the Steam group I have created:

Its a public group - requests/invites are not needed :)

Heres mine:

(this is my new main one, I had one, forgot the details, then remembered AFTER I got this! So my brother now plays my former one).

Assuming you play any Valve games with a multiplayer element you get to play with people from here (ie Team fortress 2, left 4 dead, Counterstrike Source etc) and playing with people is always more fun :)

Just made the group public, feel free to join :)

(Will amend my first post to reflect this).


I shall deffo be up for a game or two of L4D tomorrow/during the week. Whenever we can get 4 of us together really.
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Goatboy on January 06, 2009, 08:51:36 PM
Bunch of nitwits at Steam. My copy of HL2 CE won't validate anymore so I couldn't test if my machine runs Source. Then when I wanted to buy L4D for the hell of it, sale was just done. Would order from Play, but their pound > euro rate is rubbish and they won't deliver stuff paid in pounds to non UK addresses anymore. :(

Pooballs, that's what I say.
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Gunnarr on January 06, 2009, 11:38:09 PM
Check out shop.gameplay.co.uk - just checked on L4D and they ARE adding 3 quid for P&P, but you'll still come out cheaper than on play because of the good exchange rates. :)

A friend accidentally got sent a second copy of L4D.
As it happened I had just mentioned that I'd like the game if he was going to order some games next....so:

Looking forward to this :) I even got my accuracy over 30% now, so there's a chance I won't make a complete fool of myself, even. ;)
I'm thinking of buying this headset (http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/icm_senncom.nsf/resources/FCS_PC146_USB.pdf/$File/FCS_PC146_USB.pdf) so I won't have to shout over the automatic fire when voicecomming.
Anyone that has any experience with that thing?

Nop, could find you... but Rubino for example... tried several times, but to no prevail :)
Doesn't mind though... I just saw that if you joined a group all members will be visible in your friendslist anyways... :)

We have a Left 4 Dead server to call our own.

217.163.22.24:27015

I think the command is "connect 217.163.22.24:27015" inside L4D as along as you have console active (theres an option for it then press ` key iirc).

Message me on steam for the pass. Am still working out how to get it to show as belonging to the group, so bear with me.
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Mangala on February 06, 2009, 08:37:28 PM
Also the server "should" now show on loading L4D as one of your steam group servers.

Its possible it doesnt :S

Really fun evening - thanks to Caradir, Malt and Gunnarr for playing on our new server.

(http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/217.163.22.24:27015/banner_560x95.png?random=971337)

Gunnarr, I have no idea why you couldnt get back on.

I tried after with a straight connect ip address thingy and was ok :(
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Gunnarr on February 06, 2009, 10:36:36 PM
Yes, me neither. It's weird, I think I went through a bit of a rough connection patch there, since I had some lags on other servers as well, but after a while they got better and as I'm writing now, I'm still not able to connect back to the HoJ server. The weird thing is I can see it fine in the serverlist, and it even tells me I'll have a 112ms ping to the server, yet when trying to connect it apparently does 10 attempts then gives up.

Just to check:
- the password you gave me is all lowercase, right?
- how do I do a straight IP connect? Through steam? (servers > favorites > add server)
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Mangala on February 06, 2009, 10:50:05 PM
yes to the first question.

there isnt a way to add it to steam servers - that list doesnt include L4D servers (I checked just before I logged off steam).  There may be a way to add connection info to the l4d links properties, or create an autoexec file that is linked in the l4d shortcut properties and do it that way (jesus .cfg files take me back years to my quake 2 days ;))

try this in the console:

Type openserverbrowser
The server browser comes up, you can add your server to favorites with your ip address.
Then you can double click and put in the password to play.

Cant guarantee it will work though.  Looking here for ideas:

Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Gunnarr on February 06, 2009, 11:04:57 PM
Weird. I just managed to connect again.
My hunch is that it was either password or connection related.
It could be the password, since when I managed to connect for the first time it gave me a password box with a [******] pre-entered, but it was the wrong password.
After reconnecting, putting in the right password, and entering successfully, then disconnecting to try again, the [*****} pre-entered password was the right one.

It could be the connection, since I tried to test this after trying to enter through the "join friends" option, and never being asked for the password.
So I tried to enter through Steam, entering the pw there, and it would still refuse to let me in.

I think it's fixed now, and I hope it'll stay fixed. I'm starting to get annoyed about not being able to play with you guys because of tech troubles.
When is the next evening of zombie massacre?  ;D

Post by: Caradir on February 07, 2009, 12:15:58 PM
was a shame you had connection issues, all in all a fun evening, much better than playing it solo :)

even if we all died except mang in the final scenario tank took 2 of us down on escape ramp lol
Title: Re: Steam Usernames & HoJ Steam Group
Post by: Malt on February 07, 2009, 03:56:36 PM
I really enjoyed the game last night, it was the first time that I have played the game with anyone other then random people.

I've now sorted out my mic, so can use it next time, although if my wife is watching TV, I will be limited somewhat.

Was funny at the end as I had gone into the APC, then came back out onto the ramp to help and the tank thew a rock at me, which knocked me down.

I hope we can do it again soon.

This is how it should be ;)

Anyways, Tuesday guys Ive added a Group event for :)

Also, servers always on so feel free to join it and even play with npcs. Also going to add a Versus (Zombies V Infected) night for Thursday if we can get enough for at least 2 per side :)

Sorry for being so flakey tonight on L4D - combination of things.  I know have a tool which will change maps for us on the server when I ask it too :)  However L4D has to be on for me to do it.

One day Vavle will make something easy for once ;)

I shall be late on steam for some versus mode - in the middle of prepping for dinner. 

And I havent yet figured out how to switch our server to versus so we'll have to go public for that - but thats not really an issue :)

We got some done in the end :)  And even a little versus - that really does need 2 teams duking it out, rather than garry v me (with npcs to aid us on each side).

Bought the Orange Box from the bargain bin on Saturday (a whopping 4 euros 90 cents for the box) and I had to create a Steam account. Swuul  (http://steamcommunity.com/id/swuul) has now joined the HoJ gaming group.

I still need to actually play one of the Orange Box games, but at least they are installed now :p
