::Advice for all team members::


for everyone if you are not on mumble it really is worth the download:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files%2FMumble%2F1.2.3%2Fmumble-1.2.3.msi/download this is the windows version, others available

even if you dont have a mic or do not wish to talk you can hear a team mates speech so it helps

mumble details for our server are as follows:

you have four fields to fill in

1. server name (i use LF server)
2. address (scrapbrain.co.uk)
3. port (64738)
4. username (original altitude name...mine being Ragnorak727)

any questions please ask

Danke!

Oh I'm sorry about that :( But hey we have something in common, do Lens Flare carry a "LF" tag before their names too? If so we might consider changing our in-game tag.

BTW guys, this is our clan thread. We can communicate here (since some of you were asking if PM only) freely and openly.

We use PM only if we don't want something public, otherwise everyone in Livewire Flyers feel free to post on this thread. This thread will also contain our scrim timings, who will be attending, etc.

Thorn!! Cool Pic!! :D Love the "::" on the sides!

gRim: Welcome!! :) Yes we will soon try to arrange some scrims.

Nummer5 is still missing on the forums, he logs into Alti everyday (but not when I'm online) so I'm not able to reach him yet. Try adding him as Friend in Alti ("Friends", "Add Friend").

Wish I was back in EU at this crucial time but I get back only on Jan 28th of this month. But even then I'll try to arrange a scrim.

I just noticed while trying to send you a PM that you have disabled it.

Can you please enable Private Messaging? Go to "Quick Links->Edit Options". There check the "Enable Private Messaging" box please... Not sure why you disabled it :D

Maybe we can find some time that suits most of us and just play these days, just to figure each other out. It is easyer to predict ones actions and pass right if u know the guys style. :) I've played some games with tekno and west, others not so much. Just say when, I'm here these days.
ps It can be any public game, not just us - just for warmups :)

An easier way is to use the person's Vapor ID. Go to AltBouncer (http://tec27.com/altbouncer/), type in the nickname, and copy the Vapor ID. Then paste the Vapor ID into the add friend field in Altitude.

If you are in-game, you can also look at the list of recent players (after clicking Add Friend) and add them that way.

Hey Blue, thanks, to be honest, I made the current pic in a hurry just put together some stuff in photoshop. Looking forward for your pic.

In fact I'm thinking about using Thorn's pic as our clan pic, it looks great, but I'd like a little more "Altitude" like elements in it (like maybe plane perhaps) and also some electricity in the background. I'll try to do these modifications and see where it goes.

---

Guys it seems weekends work for all, and on weekdays (except Thursdays) late evenings (probably after 7) Central European Time works. This doesn't work for me until I'm back in EU (end of this month) but after that it should be a lot easier.

Blue

my first thought when i saw you say you wanted lightning was this, which isnt lightning, but more of a cool electricity effect. I had to sharpen te mirandas because otherwise it would fuzzy, so i didnt want you too make that crappy. So anyway, the font i used was i believe the same one thats in altitude, but im not sure. any questions, just PM or post :)

Tekn0
01-08-2011, 01:08 PM
Hey Blue, that's a pretty cool pic, love the glowing letters and electric effects! :)

I also like the charging randas on the sides too :)

P.S. Oh and one small thing, you got our team name wrong :D

Not that I'm trying to enter into some sort of competition with Blue or anything but I also did this variation on my previous one, a bit more obviously the side of a plane this time.

I've got the remains of the flu atm so I've got a fair bit of time on my hands. :)

Guys we have a temporary private server very graciously hosted by Brutal deluxe from FT (many thanks to him).

The name is "Livewire Flyers (LF::) Private Server" (20 player slots available). Please add this to your "Favourites" server list and join and check out the pings.

I'll send you the server password privately. If you get decent pings we can organize practice sessions here.

Normally I'll be there. But I'm a voulenteer at the local fire department and in case of an emergency I'll have to go. It's also possible that I'm still sleeping in case it was a heavy emergency at night/early morning :p But it's a small chance that happens but you never know, I don't pick the moment there's a fire or a car crash.

Demuyt
01-12-2011, 08:59 PM
Yes, just go to server config.

Tekn0
01-13-2011, 01:59 AM
How about we shift the match timing by 1 hour?

10 AM GMT (11 AM Central Euro Time) ??


@Cheetah: I will talk to Brut about removing the bots.

@Aspharanx: No problems, it's only a practice session, if we all show up we will try to get some randoms (spam friends) and play. The idea is to see how we play as a team and work out some strategy (team chat!)

@Thorn: It's okay we can probably sub someone :)

So we have 6 players that will most likely show up.

Tekn0
01-13-2011, 02:03 AM

Waiwha?? I thought Alti was more important than the world :P Jk, this is no problem Asp, even if we play on tourneys we are allowed a substitute in case someone disconnects or such situations arise.

Yes 10 AM GMT it is. From what I talk to the others they said saturday around that time is fine. So I don't think it's a problem.

If anyone who have already confirmed can't make it post here, otherwise we'll assume you'll all make it.

PS. I hope my ping is playable, I've asked Brut to increase ping limit on that server but if it's too bad, I'll spec.

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3/Deremos/Livewire_square.png



I thought having the logo and the type together was perhaps a bit cluttered so I did another with just the type. Its probably a bit clearer that way, but I'll let you decide.

I also threw in a square one, for miscellaneous use.

Enjoy!

01-15-2011, 03:44 PM
spot on about opposition, some very good players.
to me the team needs to round itself out, as we all start to fill the roles and get comfortable with each other i believe this will happen. we have some good players and as we all start to get used to each others positioning and preferences i think it could go very well.

its a pleasure playing with you all....pats on backs all round LF'ers

I'll be back on Saturday but I might be away in the evening.

How about 11 AM GMT Saturday? Even if I can't make if but we have enough LF members go ahead with the practice and scrim (although I'd love to be there).

We will have a practice session, some tips, maybe play some randoms.

This time we will try offer each other points on where we think we could improve in a constructive way.


Everybody please post availability for Jan 22, Saturday 11 AM GMT, 12 (Central Euro Time)

Yes this will be a good help initially but I hope we will all develop our game to flow naturally after a while, without having to prompt for passes :) But mumble certainly will be of good help

Also I hope mumble doesn't have much effect on our pings while playing.

We played a round or two with AIR (mixed with a couple of AA folks) and sub'd in Valkyr!e for us. We one first round Core and lost the labrynith. Then people started leaving and stuff...

gRim where did you go? :( You left right when it was 12 CET . Maybe you got the time wrong?

Anyway, yet another game we had to substitute someone not in LF. I hope next time we can get 6 LF guys ;)

I want to thank Thorn, Nummer5 and ragno for some solid mid-field and defence work.

We missed gRim and Aspharanx on offense and I think we can get some really good games going.

After we got numerous complaints in our practice match that "you guys need a lobby", we will soon be getting a lobby for our private server.

I've already gone ahead and made it (image provided by Thorn). It took a fewhours to figure out the Map Editor (especially the layers and how to make collidable objects) but I really like the end result.

I even figured out how to make a bouncy trampoline like AIR's private server but I thought let's not be copy cats :D It involves adjusting the Damage modifier property and such. Anyyyway,..

I will try to get our lobby installed in the private server soon.

Tekn0
01-24-2011, 05:59 AM

But even otherwise, how about we try to get 6 folks for a scrim on Sunday? Suggest a time gRim (or anyone else).

So hopefully if things go well, I am mostly free all day Sunday (EU times!! as I will be back in Germany) so anytime except very late at night will be fine (since I have work the next day).

Scrim Results LF vs FC 0-2:

Darkwar: 0 - 6
Asteroids: 5 - 6

Aspharanx (after we were leading 4-1 on asteroids) and Silverwing (from the beginning) timed out every couple of seconds and had pings of 330 and 600 respectively.

We will try to somehow get better pings in the future.

Some notes on where we can improve (guys who played feel free to post your thoughts on this too):

1. Clearing near our goal: We're pretty bad at this and need to improve on this. This is not that difficult at all...

2. More support during offence: I was mostly alone with nobody to pass to when I advanced, but this is mostly because SilverWing had bad ping I think. Of course, Kloekie was great when we two were on offense.

3. More kills. Yeah I know it's ball and ratios don't matter much, but still most of us need to get kills.


Among the positives:

1. Kloekie played really well and had some truly good routes and ideas (even on 3rd match Core).

2. Asp did the bulk of the kills as an offensive loopy. While this is good, the rest of us need to chip in too.


Feel free to post about what went wrong and where we must improve.

BTW all of us who don't have mumble, please try get mumble for in-game communication. It helps.

regarding the scrim:
i felt the first match was a bit of a dead rubber since by the time we had ourselves sorted out and knew what we were doing we were 4-0 down. the second scrim was much better, for me it is mainly about blending the different playing styles and getting more used to how we each work. mumble will deffo help but just playing together is going to be the best way to seek improvement.

i did wonder about a regular practice session, if we set one as a weekly occurence and have a standing open invitation so we can get some team game time against randoms. i really think it would help and with the roster getting larger we should always be able to field a team.

we should also have an open discussion on our planes and our views on how they should be used (i recommend this takes part in pm since we do not want to alert the opposition)

anyhoo thats my initial thoughts

Yes but we must all agree on a time and we can scrim randoms. Suggest one, I'm mostly game on weekends anytime. We can work out some obvious mistakes we did very easily this way too.

absolutely, the point i was making was that if we set one (whenever it is) it should provide ample chance since our roster is increasing

as to when mate, i am pretty easy. evenings are deffo better for me since i am a family man so my weekends are erratic at best but the majority rules on something like this. my vote is for evenings so anytime after 5/6pm gmt

Guys we got JulePalme to graciously host us a paid server in Germany (yay on choosing the best location on the planet!!).

So all of you guys give him a big thanks and he's even nice enough (actually I bet Ducky bugged him to) to make all you guys as admins on the server too.

The password is the same as the other private server hosted by Brutal Deluxe and there is also now a public LF EU server (on the same box as the private one) for well whatever reasons. Enjoy!!!

Ducky, please stop bugging him to make us a mumble server. There's currently no real need for it other than showing off that you're admin on it :p :p

Actually wait.. I can actually think of just ONE reason to make a mumble server.

Anyhow, Special thanks to JulePalme. :cool:

We'll see, AH wanted to scrim us and the last one wasn't really an LF vs AH more like LF+2subs vs AH. So I'd first like to organize a proper scrim vs AH where we get at least 7 guys to show up so in case someone leaves early (which happens 99% of the time) we still got 6.

His defensive and midfield domination should give us a solid platform for offense.

well guys we had a big weekend just now, lots of games together and we got some decent scrims in and now we need to consider what we have learnt and figure out our direction moving forward. WOF gave us a bit of a lesson in team ball but I really think we saw some positives in our play.

I know Tek has a lot of thoughts on this so I will leave it to him but personally I really enjoyed the weekend and know a lot more now about some of the other players on our team so thats good.

Tek - on WOF thread you said about the screens but is that not just a screen capture (print screen)? so couldnt any of us do it?

thanks for the good times all and lets hope we play again soon

Rag

Rag, yeah it's just a screen capture, but on my Mac I always get the keys mixed up (I need to hold Function+ something + TAB and usually I press the wrong one). Also Alti has an inbuilt screen capture key, but the screenshots end up deep down in some folder (which I always forget too on my Mac).

Yes Rag, I'd like it if we always had someone taking screenshots of the scores on important scrims (not randoms but when we play a real team). I would LOVE to have had the screenshots for the ///tv0 games for instance.

I really like that we are scrimming often and we play as a teams than just playing on pubs or captains games. The reason for all of us being in a clan is to play as a team, so apart from the annoying part of having to wait and randoms disconnecting mid-game (happens even on ladder). I think it's worth it.

well i will try and sort out the screen capture and then try to remember to use it. if i or someone else posts the correct way we can all try to do it..


on a mac eh? the picture of Tekno becomes more complete

Check under the Altitude's Keyboard settings for the key for "screenshots". You'll need to press TAB plus that key for getting the scoreboard.

Then it's a matter of finding out where the screenshot is saved in your disk. If done this way, it should always be saved under the Altitude game folder somewhere. Not sure where this would be on Windows.


on a mac eh? the picture of Tekno becomes more complete

:D I only use a Mac at home, bought it 'cos I've never owned a Mac before. I'm never going to buy another Mac though. I'm usually at Linux, Solaris, BeOS/Haiku and FreeBSD.

ragnorak727
02-21-2011, 01:30 PM
so for windows screen capture is F5 so as long as someone captures the scoreboard at end its all good.


its stored in steam > steamapps > common > altitude > screenshots

Rag, that image looks good enough, serves the purpose.

What albums do you mean? There might be some apps you can use to upload directly to Flickr, Photobucket, ImageShack or Sketch for instance. Is that what you mean?

The key command for screenshots on mac is cmd+shift+3.

Yes he's really good from whatever little I've seen of him (only seen biplane). But I'm afraid he'd probably get frustrated playing with us. Plus we got 2 full time biplaners :) Dunno if he'd like to join us a full-time Bomber think he prefers biplane.

Thorn, so essentially cmd+shift+fn+3 + tab key. That's pressing 5 keys at a time.

How come you need to press fn? But yes far too many keys necessary.

Tekn0
02-22-2011, 11:17 PM

Because on stupid mac, F3 doubles as a key for "Spaces" or somesuch. I prefer to use them because I frequently adjust brightness, music volume, control iTunes from it etc. So I use Fn key + F1..F12 for actually F1 to F12 and without Fn key it's those special keys I mentioned.
