Why doesn't the pub show up.

[wickedtribe]

Ok before this gets going I just want to say, I have this issue as well do some of the other regulars from other servers I know as well as one of the other clan members I've talked to about this.

Why is it that when browsing through all servers there are, (no filters at all) that I cannot find the pub server, It is not on the list of them and I can find it on my favorites list just by clicking on the tab. So, I know where to look for it and I've even just browsed through every server there was.

Now if this is the case for some of us. This could be a case for a vast population of people looking for a pub to play in, and if that is so we are missing out on those people playing our server.

Anybody want to try and see if you can find it in your lists without going to history or favorites?

I used to be able to find it extremely easily, now I can't at all, and I think this could be largly accountable for the pub being so scarcily populated.

Please chip in info if this is the case for you, and if it is, perhaps we can find a way to cure this ailment.

i have it on my favs and sometimes it doesn't show up, not sure why...

[Tragedy]

+1. I have it on my favorites and sometimes it's not there. Also, I cannot find it in the general list without ANY filters selected.

[Jeimuzu]

I had that happen to me before with ZM back in the old days. It really annoyed me. I could only join via friends.

I never was able to uncover the cause.

[wickedtribe]

Now, for me even though it doesn't show up, I have all the ip addresses in a notepad on my desktop, so i can go in, type in console "connect *insert IP*" and it will connect right to any server.

Now if this is happening to us, it is deffinatly happening to a vast majority of the steam group. Now the question is, how do we make it visible to the rest of the world for those who don't know it exists.

It shows up on my favorites list. Also did find it on server search.

I have always had it show up on my favorites list, However (especially when I got a new account) I was never able to find it inside the server list no matter how many times I refreshed.

I do expect some people to be able to see it on server search or else we wouldn't have the few random people that pop in. However, if there are many more like me, and cannot see it, well we need to figure out why they (and myself) cannot see it.

[loka]

Re-add the IP to your favorites. It's always a glitch on steams part.

Again, I have always found it on my favorites, it has never disappeared from there for me, nor have any of the IBIS servers. Its when browsing through the server lists is what I'm talking about, thats my main concern is it not appearing there because, as it doesn't people will not find our server, so we have no influx of new people into the pub, which will leave it in its current state.

[Tragedy]

All I know is that it needs to be fixed. If this is the reason why the pub isn't full anymore i'm going to /wrists. :violin:

I hope we can get the pub packed again. I wouldn't play any other server on Ibis BUT the pub if it became active again. PUB PUB PUB MUTHA FUCKAAAS

Tell ZERO to get the bots to play and it won't be hard at all to fill the server.

It is now doing this to me with GG and ZM.

Pub is still there and so is WCS, but no GG and ZM...

It's because you're not wanted on either of those servers. :smirk:

+1 for you sir.

it happens from time to time with my server/favorite list as well. but I can usually find it in my history tab with no problems.

[Jeimuzu]

I've noticed that too.

Maybe Zero will implement a command in all the servers that allow you to automatically connect to the server of your choice..

!ZM, !WCS, !GG, !Pub.. Etc.

And while he does that he can add a ZM description/commands list so people won't have to keep explaining to newcomers what ZM is and how to parachute and such, just by typing something like !basics that has everything someone would need to get started..

^^THIS, is a great idea. Nice thinking man.

[I LIKE TURTLES]

As far as servers not showing up, I don't think it is an IBIS specific problem...
Shit happens with the others servers I have in my favorites, just refresh, or check out the history tab. No biggie.

[ZERO]

This glitch occurs for all servers on all games. It is a localized steam glitch. It happens to me usually in natural selection until I press refresh like 3 times.

A cross connection script will be implemented soon.

Nice. Thanks man, hope it helps.

Also I am starting to wonder if I should replace the stats on all of the servers with hlstatsx http://hlstatsx.com/about

While we have used psychostats for years we actually used hlstatsx before that and had to stop becuase it was not compatible with our host. Maybe I should try it on the pub server and see if switching stats programs helps as the biggest benefit of hlstatsx is that it is in REAL TIME.

I remember when we had hlstatsx and honestly It was my favorite of the stat systems, unfortunatly back then about the time we got rid of it, it was causing massive lag and issues in the servers, however, if you think that it would be rectified then I would love for it to be reimplemented.

ZERO I think we need to focus on getting people to have fun in the PUB.

with REAL TIME stats, its just gonna be another rank whore fest like in ZM.

everyone is gonna be busy ranking up and not having fun.

I say after the PUB becomes stable again like before where people are buying reserved slots. than we can switch to real time stats.

[ZERO]

That was why I was thinking of implementing it as it would encourage people to play on it and help attract new users. Also with hlstatsx I could have the server show up in their list so people looking for rank servers can find it.

ZERO, that should not be the priority.

The pub needs to have more players in it, and the best possible solution to that is to implement bots that actually play the game with you until a specific amount of players are in the game.

It is tiresome to see the pub say 13/21 or something and not have a single player in the map when viewing the server info. That NEEDS to be changed ASAP.

I like your idea ZERO and definitely think it should be implemented again (or at least try). But like Christmas said, packing the server first should be a pretty high priority...and bots are an extremely good idea.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

i think that the number of bots is way too high. if it was, llike, 5 instead of 13, it'd be easier for people to see when others are on. (instead of 14 people needed to show up in the server list, 6 would be needed to prove there are people on)

[&&toasties]

Funny how people say otherwise.

A long, long time ago when I found a GG server (Like the first month I had CS:S) I would play there every once in awhile with a couple friends of mine, and we would usually be playing against bots. There would be 5 bots and one player, and as someone joined, one bot was removed, and so forth until there was 6 actual players. Though Zero might want to set it so AWPs are restricted until there are 4 players on each team or something.

That first idea was what I was thinking of. Also that second idea is already implemented in PUB.

I thought it was set to allow an Awp when there was 3 people per team.

Well, never mind then.

[I LIKE TURTLES]

I think Zero should post some semi naked pics of himself in secret locations on all the maps. People will join and try to find them, thus populating the server.

Wait What?

But you already go to the Pub.

There is no need to reach for a specific demographic when everyone in said demographic is already in your server.

[Jeimuzu]

The pub has been fun the past few days. Populating it isn't that much of a problem, and I'm even starting to see some regulars.

Wish I could play :(

When a player joins they will get 1 bot teammate and 2 bot opponents. These bots will disappear as players join :wtg:

I also have made it so the bots do not make noise and so they get slayed if the humans are all killed and also gave them ping so they look more real.

Time to go test the pub.
