Title: Garry's Mod Racer 2 VIP Beta
Post by: Crap-Head on April 20, 2012, 02:13:03 PM: Garry's Mod Racer 2 VIP Beta
21/04/2012 - 17:00 GMT + 2
BETA IS CLOSED.

The VIP beta for the long awaited GMod Racer 2 gamemode is finally here. Myself and TOMASAS has been working for the past month with this gamemode. Fixing it and finishing the gamemode as well as adding new features. We're very happy to finally put it into the beta stage.

The beta will last for an unknown amount of time, and is only for VIP+. That means all VIPs, Gold Members and admins are allowed into the beta.

~~A thread in the VIP section will be posted tomorrow. It will include the content pack with maps and such, as well as the server IP + what the password will be when the beta launches.~~
Content pack and IP with Password at http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=14166.0 (http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=14166.0)(Will only open if you are VIP+).

Any questions? Feel free to ask them in here and myself or TOMASAS will respond to it.

FAQ
Q: How many slots is the server?
A: Its 24 slots.

Q: Will we get to keep all of our stuff after the beta?
A: No. The fact that this is a racing gamemode, and every part means a lot, it's unfair if the vips gets a lot of stuff and then when everybody else gets on, they will just keep on getting killed. Everyone needs a fair chance for release. You will, however, get your vip/gold start money on the public release only. So you won't have those reset.

Q: What is the point of this GMR2 Beta test?
A: To stress test the server as well as catch and analyze as many bugs as possible so that we can ensure a smoothe launch on the release day.

Q: Is there a release date set for GMR2?
A: Soon. Somewhere between the end of April and the start of May.

Actually that's what I'm going to be doing while on, I'll find exploits and report them. I'm pretty decent at finding exploits in gamemodes.

And I think there was too much hype about it.

I have never played gmr2 and from what I understand it is almost totally different from gmr1 so I guess we will just have to find out. And admins and vip+ get an early start so that will be nice

You won't get an early start in terms of getting ahead in cash apart from the benefits you get when you join the first time after it's released.
All the stuff you get in the beta will get reset for the release.

And I think there was too much hype about it.

I have to agree with this. It's just like me and other great zelda fans. When I played ocarina of time, I was literally jizzing the entire game.
Now? It's just meh.... Majoras mask and the windwaker are still EPIC games, but the last one (Skyward sword) was just a huge disappointment. It's because we already seen what we can expect, so it's not really new for us.

But don't be disappoint to quick. GMR2 has LOTS of things to offer that GMR1 has not. Main think: Different cars and enviroments that require different cars.
It's going to be good regardless of GMR1 being such a hype. :)

Post by: Crap-Head on April 21, 2012, 12:00:55 PM: To update everybody on the entire situation.

We got attacked, then sadly, our forum connection dropped out (nothing to do with the attack). Without that connection, we cannot get your ranks from the forums and onto the servers. Which means that it will not be able to check if you are a VIP or not.

Il try to put the server back up, and work out some issues there. The server will open up for the VIP beta again as SOON as its stable and the forum connection returns. Try to be patient, i know its hard tho :).

Thank you.

Still same thing.
If it was so easy to fix, it would've been fixed ages ago. This is obviously not the case, so it takes a little longer.

There was nothing we could have done. Trust me, we tried everything. All of our main ports got null routed (that means 194 and 198).

Don't think we didnt try to solve this, because we did all we could to get it up again right away.

Thank God! I kind of fucked up with my money here and there. Like it, though it's probably because everyone's balanced unlike GMR1.

I think you will have a rather difficult time releasing it then.

End of April = April 30 at 12:00:00
Beginning of May = May 1 at 12:00:01

Hmm...

But by making servers like this, you kind of force me to do it.

Thats buisness dudes.

You wont be able to test it before the public release. It also wont be put on the public server before the release.

The reason i want as many maps as possible now, is so i can add them to the server, and have enough time to test them and make sure that they work. If you have done everything correctly, there should not be any issues. Just add me on Steam, and send me the map.

Post by: Crap-Head on April 26, 2012, 11:51:13 AM: The beta is over. Thank you to everybody that participated in the beta, and for those who found the bugs and posted them.

We're working on the gamemode, and finishing up the last bits for the full release. Hopefully it will be open by the end of this weekend. It also really depends on the mappers. They gotta speed up and stop being so damn lazy.

Locked.
