server updated

Hurray for Highlander!

[Mahbonk]

Highlander look great !!!

[ratty]

18 maxplayers with highlander, so we can't even try it unless we want a lot of spectators.

[Deathborn668]

I still don't understand what the hell Highlander is.
I even Google'd it and all I could find was that it was originally a mod and it's apparently "the greatest thing ever". Not exactly descriptive.

[Kingdom's Sword]

it was essentially 9 v 9 with one person class limits. I don't really see the appeal though.

So you get a team with 1 player per class.
Or maybe you don't get the reference, "There can be only one" was from the movie Highlander.

Plus you don't get a bunch of extra snipers and spies.
It would be cool if this could be implemented on a 18 player server....maybe eggs if cupcake gets that up.

[OmegaBlade]

I hate to be the party pooper, but I don't think the Highlander mode is going to roll over very well. >_>

[Jason]

you could already do highlander mode, you just had to set class limits =/

it's mostly for comp tf2 on non-5cp maps (like dustbowl)

they just added an option to make it easier.

for those who don't know, highlander is 9v9, 1 person as each class

[ratty]

EDIT: comments deleted
I meant that for another thread, oops

[Lemming]

What?

Not a bad idea, Eggs being the Highlander server from now on.

new uppdate
Fixed a client crash during the localization of item names.
Fixed a client crash caused by selecting Random in the class selection and then clicked on "Edit Loadout"

[Lemming]

Luckily, it's an optional update with only client fixes. So no need to update the server.

[FlyingHat]

Highlander might be useful for the scrims run here.

If you hear this, Cupcake, I beg you not. :<

[bshenkd]

Yeah, I tried running it on one of my servers once. It ran really well when I had enough time to get it started. There's an SM mod out there made for Highlander, and yes, it's made for scrim play, although I think it ran pretty well as a public server too.
