[urbanterror.net] New Map from NulL

Announcing Bohemia! FrozenSand's most recent addition to Urbanterror's first party map list. Bohemia places the player in the midst of a somewhat unconventional city scape, tall buildings arc over the players as they run through the city's narrow streets and interlocking courtyards.

The map comfortably fits all of Urbanterror's main game modes and has been fully kitted out to work with the new render engine from TwentySeven. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we do, when you get you mittens on it in the upcoming release.

|HSO| Move to Mumble

Mumble


|HSO| have always been a vocal bunch, especially when we found Teamspeak, the evenings of bad singing, drunken slurs and yelling of enemy positions while ingame have become a regular accurance especially on a friday night.

Teamspeak has helped us become a closer clan, recognising each others voices and peoples little quirks when they enter the ts2 room, "evening bozo's" as sung by morph, has a place in |HSO|'s ts2 history.

Now, technology has finally caught up with this beloved voice comm's. we have been waiting for a new version for what seem years, and the inevitable has happened, another application has beaten it to sound quality and time latentcy.

Mumble has been tried by a few members some time ago, when things were in the early dev stages, finally , they have released a stable and quick version which now to date, beats Teamspeak hands down (opinion of |HSO|).

We have treaded very carefully, making sure this was a benefit for gaming and our community within |HSO|, with taking the time to launch a server, admin the channel and and familiarising ourselves with this new to us application.

Within the first day of creating a channel, we was amazed. The sound clarity is much clearer, infact having to look at the built in overlay while ingame to see who that was who spoke.

Some of us have experienced a rise in fps in game, we are not sure if this is Teamspeak2 related. Though the big plus for us was the little time it takes for the other members to hear your voice. We teasted this by asking each memebr to count down the spawn timer (which runs the same time for all) and found the latency was approx a quarter of a second to half of a second maximum.

This for any aspiring clan is a vital tool for making your own community closer and hopefully your gaming better.

the latter we are yet to achieve .

Our server details are/ voice.hsogaming.com (default port 64738)

Our recommendation is that you take your time playing with the sound config,
set your name
no password

connect and say hi

HSO and UAA Partnership

Dear Community Members,

THIS IS NOT ENABLED YET! SO NOTHING TO BE DONE YOUR END AT THE MOMENT

It is with great pleasure i announce the planned partnership with the Urban Terror Admins Alliance Authentication services. While HSO remain a member of the UAA, HSO will be now using the UAA AuthServivces. At the moment this project is in the closed beta stage.

RaideR (Me) has been working with the UAA for over 9 months now working on this project with our close clan friends over at SG, mainly Kalish. In the upcoming months the HSO servers will update to using the new dedicated server binarys.

So what does this mean?

Something soon in the future you may be kicked from a HSO server for the following reason:-

"Unable to Authenticated your Passport, please get one a www.uaaportal.com". In order to play and HSO servers 1, 2, 4, 6 you will require a valid UAA Portal account. This is very easy and should not take you long at all. This will help us keep the hackers off our servers, and secure your gaming enjoyment!

So happy gaming, and when the kick message displays, get ready to sign up @ www.uaaportal.com.

Thanks

Regards,

RaideR
