I'd like to get a CTF server going at a lan. I can get it up and running, but the server just starts on that first "start" level and i can't get any other maps to succesfully load.

i've downloaded all the maps and other bits and pieces i need from here- http://www.customtf.net/?page_id=4 that should have everything i need.

the built in map vote option in the server tries to load the map i select from the list, but fails. i've tried copying the maps everywhere but it still fails to load them.

if i just type map well6 or whatever in the console it loads the map, but loses the custom team fortress options.. it just loads it as a regular deathmatch map.

does anyone have any experience running a q1 server? any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. i dont have to have map voting working but if i can get the server to start on some kind of suitable ctf map instead of start.bsp then i'd be happy.


tl;dr- i can get the dang server to start up running the prozac custom team fortress mod, but i cant get it to change maps and still work correctly!

I've been ridiculously high sensitivity for most of my gaming years and never really got enough consistency to even be locally competitive at FPS's. I just don't think the human brain can get to a worldclass level when you can turn 3 360's across an 8 inch mousepad. Or at least I can't. I'm ordering one of the super large pads and had a few questions.

1. I've heard here and there that around a 24 cm 360 is what a lot of the pro players use. I know it varies some but is that generally correct?

2. With such a low sens in a fast game like quake live, do most of the good players use scripts for turning and/or rocket jumping? I played unreal 2k4 with a pro at a lan and he used a script for turning 180's but I don't know if that's the norm or not.

3. Lastly, It's my understanding that mouse_mode 2 in quake live is all I need to do to eliminate mouse acceleration is this correct?

Thanks and any other tips about hardware or game play that I might have overlooked would be greatly appreciated.
