is it just me or do you “accept sub reqest” by pressing space or enter in pickup page? cuz i was writing in chat and suddenly it said im subbing something..

First time heard of that. And i don’t think it should be possible at all. I’ll have a look though

Hello everybody! We haven’t posted any news since May…but thats because we’ve been busy with exams/work and uni projects! We are back with some great news! So i will directly copy-paste our last news post on our official steam group!

It’s been a while since there was a summary of all the things that were recently changed or tweaked on http://TF2Pickup.net

Announcer volume slider
We’ve tried to do our best on normalizing the volumes each announcer response, but not every announcer has the same volume, nor does everyone have the same sound preferences. So we decided we should add a volume slider, which you can find top right in the menu bar, where you also find the most recent pickup you play(ed) in and your profile.

Showing map, pre-ready & Socket update
The part that keeps everyone added up and allows for chatting, alerts and the !help commands in chat, the socket, also got some updates.¹ It will show which map is going to be played in the pickup, prevent you from adding up if you just joined a pickup to give others a chance to play and is being prepared for possible multiple region support so we can provide pickup servers in parts of the world that aren’t Europe.

ELO based pickup balancing
To be less dependant on the ETF2L divisions system and eventually become independent of this we have decided to develop our own ELO/Ranking system to balance pickups. Playing in pickups and doing good will improve your rating/ranking/skill where constant suicides might work in div 7 or lobbies, but won’t help you here.

Invite your friends, team mates & hat simulator enthusiasts to play pickups on http://TF2Pickup.net

¹ Steam Overlay browser is currently not fully supported by the socket.

But thats not all. Today we decided to create and start a new project called “Highlander special”. We decided to create a steam group, where people can post annoucements and motivate each other to join our, especially highlander, pickupbot and use it whenever they want! Here is the steam group – http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TF2PickupNETHL Also i would like to give some more information about the upcoming changes on the map pools. We decided to test this weekend and hopefully add some of the newest(or maybe not so new) TF2 competitive maps like logjam, craneways, intermodal and more… so stay tuned about more information! :)

I simply don’t have as much time as I’d love to contribute towards TF2Pickup, therefore we’re looking for another developer to help us out.

We’re mainly looking for people who have knowledge (and experience?^^) with PHP and general HTML/CSS/JS, as this would be your main part.

People with node.js/socket.io experience would be welcomed too, as I’m not an expert on that ;)

If you got any questions or want to apply add me!

Bump!

random question, but is SIMRAI.com providing the site as well as the game servers?

the problems with the webserver or kinda my bad, really sorry about that

When will the site be up yo? I want to beast traders!

Site is up but doesn’t appear to be working? At least not for me.
