Been a while since we had one of these. This thread's for just generally playing whatever with random /vm/ anons, without necessarily having to join a group or make a more specific thread that might not get traffic. That, and bringing back the old weekly game nights. In any case, feel free to post lobbies, schedule sessions, or to suggest some games to feature.
This week, we'll do UT2004 on Friday at 7PM EST
Game can be grabbed with the installer here: https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers/releases

Why do newfags like you not understand that these threads are for 4chan only and not outsiders. Using the thread as intended he would have simply posted the lobby here and be done with it. Except he linked to some outside lace and also posted the lobby on there thus defeating the purpose of a thread like this. Here i am in a 4chan thread for playing together so i expect to play with people from here. Newfags never seem to understand what a imageboard is. You're always trying to include discord or some other offsite shit even though theres a thread right infront of your eyes.

I take back what I said earlier.
Now that we've got a schizo that will throw out every accusation and excuse in the book in a transparent attempt to stir shit and avoid playing vidya, it's NOW that the Game Night thread is REALLY back

Yeah I aint got those, apologies. I mainly have Peak, Content Warning, Kletka, and Lethal Company. I'll look around myself when I get the chance. I've seen some free ones in the past, and I know there's some mods and such that also offer the whole silly tethered together kind of thing.

>Why even bother posting in this thread if you dont want to play with people on here
Gonna bounce the question straight back to you mate, because it's clear you're just a shitposter that doesn't care about vidya.
The proof is in the fact that the anon you're replying to posted a Private session link, which means that even if you're paranoid and delusional enough to think that the average user browsing for sessions is a redditor, that problem is removed from the equation because only people that have the link can access those session details.
And if you don't know why it'd be valuable to have something that can quickly and anonymously have people RSVP a degree of interest or facilitate a form of more rapid sub-thread, then I welcome you to /vm/ and your first Game Night thread here, because in that case you'd clearly not have been to any of the previous ones. Seriously, it'd be like you whining about us using Strawpoll in the past.

>>2249905
>you're just a shitposter that doesn't care about vidya.
Not wanting to play with outsiders means you dont care about video games? Nice argument.
>The proof is in the fact that the anon you're replying to posted a Private session link
In the first place he didnt need to post that. We have a thread here. You dont seem to understand how imageboards work.
>something that can quickly and anonymously have people RSVP
Theres no reason whatsoever to have that. I've been playing with other people on imageboards quite alot of times and theres never been a need for "rsvp" or whatever gay shit you imagine in your head.
>or facilitate a form of more rapid sub-thread
You have a thread here. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from posting here and even if you couldnt play then someone else would simply take your place.
>then I welcome you to /vm/ and your first Game Night thread here, because in that case you'd clearly not have been to any of the previous ones. Seriously, it'd be like you whining about us using Strawpoll in the past.
>(You)
>>
>>2249921
lol, you don't even have any real argument anymore. Like you're not even actually arguing the point of whether it's connected to outsiders or in any way harmful, because you can't. You're just trying to paint it as extra and excessive enough to justify your crying about it, which is ridiculous and hilarious, given that it in no way detracted from that anon posting in the thread--they didn't even post the lobby code on that page, only here--and the fact that it has nothing to do with your whining, which was all about redditors and discord. It's not even goalpost shifting, you're just actually coping about your outburst.
Especially with the cherry on top that you have no retort to the fact that, if you actually weren't new to /vm/ and these Weekly Game Night threads, you'd know for a fact that this is precisely the kind of thing people have said would have been beneficial in the past.
So what's it going to be now, you little melty-haver. What's going to be the next excuse as to why you choose to keep whining instead of actually playing video games.

Poll Time:
https://strawpoll.com/LVyK2doV8Z0
It will run until Wednesday, at which point a game will be decided, so you have time to grab it + get any mods set up
>>2252590
I don't mind rerunning a session of it later this week, if you're interested. I'm fine playing any of the games I host later on. It's just that it'd be on a weekday and at the same time.
>>2252576
I can run L4D2 on my server, although the player cap only go up to like, 16-18. I forget which it is. I had to use a different mod than the usual Left4DeadToolZ or whatever it's called, so I can't run the full 32 if it gets pick. Shouldn't be an issue though. UT2004 got a good chunk of players joining and leaving, but we capped out around I think 15-18 at a time.
>>2252558
I added the games, and they should be able to run. I haven't tested the latest patch of JBEP3 with FEX, but previous ones have worked, so I feel comfortable listing it as an option. Sven oddly is even more temperamental, but I think it depends on the map and was still playable on my main problem map (toysoldiers)
That being said
>[hate potential outsiders]
Ship has already sailed on that one, man. When I hosted UT2004, I invited some offsite buddies as well, and put out feelers elsewhere. I can tell you the logic behind all of it, and why it's still a /vm/ session, but seeing how you replied to other posts, I think the only thing you'll care about is that it happened, and that it'll keep happening.
If that bothers you, alas, I guess you were deceived, and next time I'll name the thread "Tricking /vm/ anons into playing with random sluts" if that'll make you happy, but unfortunately the thread will continue as is. If you wanna keep shouting at people, that's your decision, but it's not really gonna change anything. Best you can do to change things would be to make another thread while calling this one gay in its OP or something, I guess.
>>

>>2253913
This is just for video games, with anons, hosted on /vm/. Part of the point is to not have to worry about being attached to any specific group, as most already have pretty set in game selections and cultures. That being said, I don't really know what you're talking about, other than knowing that the MMOventure exists
>>2253904

>So this thread is something that existed before, stopped for a long time, and is resuming again?
Yes. For the first year or so when /vm/ first started, we had Official Game Nights that were sticked and ran by the mods themselves. After they stopped, some of us anons were occasionally running it ourselves, along with keeping the thread up and open to playing whatever through the rest of the week
>what did they mean by this post
I mentioned intent to start running it again on /v/. People have been talking about joining in game nights quite a decent bit now due to that GameDate site, so it seemed like as good a time as any. Plus I thought it'd be good to make a thread now and this way so it'd be thread-focused first and foremost, so people would prioritize the thread, posting deets, and setting things up here even if they still make a GD link. Seems to have somewhat worked so far.

Ayy, nice. Okay so, the big thing is that Battlerite is basically an arena game.
You have Energy Orbs (orange), which you can spend on stronger abilities.
And you have Healing Orbs (green), which can give you "True Healing"
See, when you take damage past certain thresholds, that threshold becomes your new Max HP.
So if you, say, start at 250, and then drop down to 170, you've dropped past the threshold of 200.
That means you can still be healed by abilities, but only up to that new threshold of 200.
These thresholds get passed more and more as it drains, shown by the HP bar actively shrinking.
The only way to heal your missing Max HP is with True Healing, which is done with the Healing Orbs.
This also means it's valuable to stick by your team's Support, so that you keep topped up enough to not need True Healing
So in addition to fighting your opponents, you also want to deny these resources, or pick them up as you need them.
Especially the BIG Orb, which respawns in the center every 20s or so.
You have to punch the Big Orb quite a lot to break it open, so there's a lot of finagling for last hit.
If you break it, everyone on your team, everywhere in the arena, gets some Healing, True Healing, and Energy

I played lots of HoN/DotA back in the day which is why I was drawn to it but I never had friends willing to try new shit and play random games with me. Funny to think that after 9 years, this may be the first time I get into the game. If anybody wants to maybe fuck around during the week, let me know.
>>
>>2259277
Well you know how it goes. If you're interested in random games, you inevitably get more added to a catalog than actually played
In any case, I wouldn't be able to today, but I could shoot for playing a short bit on Thursday as a pre-weekend session
I've got a couple of people I could probably pull in, but if it's just us we could do some basic duels or try to queue or something
Lemme know if a time works for you, otherwise I could just drop a (You) whenever I'm free next

For a bit of Sunday side action, I was feeling like doing some BallisticNG. For anyone unfamiliar, it's an anti-grav racing game, which basically amounts to racing ships going very fast on tracks that may or may not go up and down and all around. This is specifically a Wipeout clone, but if you've play F-Zero or Redout, you'd be somewhat familiar with the concept.
In any case, server will have the same IP and such as usual. You'll be able to connect with:
170.9.253.190:10666
Will go up around 6PM on Sunday
Gonna be sticking with vanilla maps, as to keep it light (and because the server doesn't like custom maps loading a particular shader, and I'd have to test each track individually, lol). Server hosting means that any of you with the GOG version or with the """GOG""" version can join in too.

Alright, was busy today so apologies for it being a bit in the evening, but here is the poll for this week's game
https://strawpoll.com/40Zm40Ow2ga
I've added SRB2K due to it being mentioned in the thread. As a reminder, aside from L4D2, all the games in the list are free and pretty small to install, and multiple choice is enabled, so feel free to vote for whatever and try whatever out.
As an added thing, I will also run Power Bomberman again on Wednesday. I feel like doing the follow-up night later in the week a pretty decent way to do things for anyone that might've missed the game or want to run it again. In any case, it'll be at 6PM, so mark your calendars if you wanna bomb some more men.

Poll is now closed, and Sven Co-op wins as the game for this week. I've got some maps I'll put together later, leaning more towards more girthy actual-levels instead of small challenge maps and what not, or might just shoot to do as much as HL1 as possible.
In any case, deets will get posted here when the time comes. Same IP and such as usual. Also, gonna be running some more L4D2 tonight if I can, particularly this follow-up map for the previous one, Lockdown
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2966368692
Time will be 8PM, as I've got appointments and such today.

EST, as been with the previous hosted sessions so far. This means I'll have the server up and such in about 15-20mins.
If you want the maps, here are the ones I'll be running today:

Alright, tying it up. Looks like just the 1 campaign, and it was enough to fill the hour. Good for a nice Wednesday follow-up sesh, and it's always fun playing some L4D2.
In any case, will get to picking some maps and such for Sven Co-op on Friday. Gonna lean for 8PM EST then too, seemed to work out a tiny bit better.

Got a few custom maps selected, as I wasn't sure whether the preference would be modded or "vanilla," but in any case, you can grab the collection of them here:
https://mega.nz/folder/xW9lzA4T#HlR6tyjnWK-h6fTPj5-VBw
Just extract it and place into your svencoop_downloads folder (folder will look like .wad and then your maps, models, etc. subfolders) and you should be good to go. Make sure to grab ahead of time, as the download speed is glacial otherwise (I tried setting up FastDL but it only transferred SOME of the files, for some odd reason)
Alternatively, here are direct links if you wanna grab and extract yourself:

Damn, actually gonna tie it up for right now. Not too surprised since even CAGED was giving some lag spikes in a couple spots, but I'm surprised a server that can handle L4D2 with swarms of zombies can have hitches and such with Half-Life
In any case, we got the hour in and the mini-campaign finished anyways, so that's good regardless. Twas fun, and will put up the poll later for next week's game.

Poll coming in hot for next week's game
https://strawpoll.com/wby5Qb517yA
Cut BAR and Craftmine since they weren't getting votes. Shame, felt like those were two pretty half-decent non-shooter options. Will get RTS going someday.
Added SRB2 and Microgames. SRB2 we can do with or without the tether mod that requires people to actually kinda stick together. For Microgames, the clients in mind are all free and should run on most hardware, although Doomware is the frontrunner of a pick because it's the lowest footprint of the bunch + more natively runs on my serverbox
>>2302271

Took a while since I was busy the past couple of days, but I did some more testing, and yeah it looks like the Sven Co-op servers just doesn't like much more than what's as vanilla as possible, which means looking for custom maps might take a bit too much testing.
As such, this Wednesday I'll do Power Bomberman in the follow-up game slot, because Power Bomberman is sick and we should play more of it.
>>
>>
Alright, it's Wednesday
First off, poll results. Unreal co-op won, so that'll be the game to play on Friday at 8PM EST. It's free to download these days, so I'll link at that time. I'll link that later, along with a small custom campaign that I've heard good things about and will be a better fit for these 1-2 hour sessions
Second, Power Bomberman is going up. Reminder that the game can be gotten here:
https://www.bombermanboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=1925
Just load through to multiplayer and you should be able to find the lobby. Deets are
Name: /vm/ Game Night
Pass: rage
>>
Had a bit of connection issues, but that was still a good bit of fun. Always love playing a bit of Bomberman.
Stay tuned for links for Unreal later. Shouldn't be much of a download for the custom maps. Thinking of doing Illhaven, which has only about 10. If you need the game, full installers can be found here:
https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers/releases
Unreal_Gold is what suits our purposes for this week
If you already own Unreal and wanna download it through GOG or Steam or what have you, you just need the patch, found here:
https://github.com/OldUnreal/Unreal-testing/releases
>>
>>
>>
Alright, it's Friday, and time for Unreal Gold
IP: 170.9.253.190:10666
As mentioned here >>2311110, you can get the game from these links:
https://github.com/OldUnreal/FullGameInstallers/releases
And if you just need the patch:
https://github.com/OldUnreal/Unreal-testing/releases
Based on my testing, you actually should be able to just join and play. The only file you might need to grab ahead of time is this texture:
https://files.catbox.moe/ygr1ho.zip
Otherwise, you should be able to just download when you join, but if you still want to (or if you end up needing to) download manually, the links of the mods used are here
https://pastebin.com/QbgpNw7u
I personally might end up a bit predisposed and unable to help in the thread if there's any issues, but I should be on the server when it gets to time.
And for Sunday, I'll be running SRB2K again as a Sunday side game

I'll get the poll up for next week's game later, and I'll hopefully see you again for more SRB2K on Sunday

Apologies, I lost pretty much my entire Saturday due to catching up on sleep and then immediately got pulled into things, but in case:
https://strawpoll.com/xVg71b0Bpyr
Poll for next week's game
As for other games this week: like mentioned previously, will be shooting to do more SRB2K tonight at about 8PM EST (i.e. about 10 hours from now). For Wednesday, I'll look over some other maps I had tagged for Unreal, but since the co-op mod had issues, I might try to find something else as an option. Maybe something silly since it'll be April 1st.
>>

It's about that time. The server is going live with SRB2K
IP: 170.9.253.190:10666
Client and Files:

Mods:
https://mega.nz/folder/VKkQVQ7A#I2cFPLxJMMzkWor2M0snVQ
No changes to the mods at this time, so if you played previously, you shouldn't need the link, and if you have played previously, you just need to grab the "Core" folder.
Setup is just slapping the Client + Files together and then putting the folder of addons anywhere inside (it'll recognize any mods inside subfolders)
>>2318388
Hey nice. Also don't sweat it, everyone had issues with the mod. Thing was just buggy, and since custom maps don't have checkpoints, I have another mod that might be able to work better for co-op.
In any case, if you have anything you wanna play, feel free to suggest it to be added to the poll!

And GG. As always, fun times in SRB2K. Hope everyone that joined had fun.
As for Wednesday, it looks like Microgames has pulled ahead. My thinking is this: if it wins, players will need to set up Doom for it anyways, so if stays ahead by the time the poll closes, I'll plan for Wednesday to also be Doom co-op. Not the actual Doom co-op, since that'll stay on the poll, but Doom co-op with some really silly fukken mods because April 1st
And if it doesn't then I'll just slap some maps onto the server for Unreal and see if JCoopZ works better than WolfCoop. As far as I remember it's fine, but I forget if it preserves inventory on death, which might be a hassle
In any case, hope to see youse on Wednesday at 8PM EST for more vidya

Alright, it's Wednesday, poll's closed
As expected, Microgames won, so as mentioned here >>2318935 we'll be doing it in DOOM on Friday, as it's the best pick for something that'll be able to be hosted by server AND you guys won't have to download GB-sized games just for silly ol' WarioWare
If you need DOOM or need help installing DOOM + the Zandronum client, I punched up a quick guide here
https://pastebin.com/RDu8Ja0n
If you already are in the know and are set up, just make sure your Zandronum client is updated to the latest Testing version. The guide's also written for Windows, so if you're a Linux guy, you'll either need to grab these files (https://zandronum.com/downloads/testing/3.3/ZandroDev3.3-260112-1855l inux-x86_64.tar.bz2) or compile yourself.
But also, it's Wednesday, and as also mentioned previously: because it's April 1st and people will need DOOM installed anyways, we can do something a little silly in it today.
Something a little shitty.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTO6z8-00zE
I'll link mod files later tonight, after I pick a map pack. Will have the gameplay mod included too, since I have one that doesn't include the modded enemies, just the guns and "mechanics"

Once you've booted Zandronum with the mods, open the console and enter
cl_password penis
connect 170.9.253.190:10666
And you should be on the server and doomin'
Keeping it light with this, since it's a bit short notice. Vanguard's just like, 12 or so maps, and I remember it not being too hard to blast through even without an over the top gameplay mod, so hop in if you wanna a bit of Doom, and if not, well I'll see youse Friday for DoomWare instead lads
>>

And that's a wrap on Vanguard. Pixelated because the "chastedoom.pk3" is the HDoom enemies with the sex removed, but I'd assume the implication of 3x1 pixels of what may or may not be a Hell Knight's bergina is still too much for a blue board.
But in any case, glad to still get the server tested with the most recent Zan version, and it looks like everything will be good for Friday at 8PM. Look forward to playing more silly Doom then, now in Microgame form

It's the mod Tomb Fetus, which released late last year

Basically just an arena shooter party game, as the maps are filled with wacky weapons and what not. You can also get the files here in one link:
https://drpyspy.itch.io/tomb-fetus
As all the required .pk3's are in the Files folder. You'd just need to extract them to use with the specific version of the Zandronum client listed here >>2327801 since the client included with Tomb Fetus is an older one by now

Alright, already petering out at the halfway point, so with consideration to the turnout from Friday, I feel confident in calling it here for now. Truly, the fetus was tombed. Definitely a fun little game, and surprisingly smooth netcode too. Like I swear Zan is usually a bit touchier than this.
Any-weighs, poll ends in about 15 hours. Current frontrunner is Worms Armageddon, but there's still time to cast your votes. See youse then.

Alrighty, poll is closed. Looks like the Worms have done it.
If you need it, grab the game here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18dAXkqtQNjb_T5E5MSqXqZk0xzQdPdjY/
I also recommend grabbing SuperFrontendHD, as to enable higher resolutions in the menu. If you don't, the in-game resolution will be alright, but the menus will be at good ol' 480p
https://worms2d.info/SuperFrontendHD
To enable, just extract into your game directory, go to Options, Advanced, and enable "Load WormKit modules"
Now, just a forewarning, I've had something come up that might hamper my ability to host tomorrow. To be safe, I'm planning on more towards 9PM EST, but we'll be playing a bit by ear. If I get shit finished beforehand, I'll post in the thread, and if not, I might be running on Sunday instead. Apologies for any inconvenience.

OP here:
Yeah, absolutely fucked on time. Don't think I'll make it tonight.
Will be shooting to host Sunday at 8PM EST
If anyone wants to host for themselves tonight, you can do so by just loading this WormKit
https://worms2d.info/WormNAT2
and then making a game in the #AnythingGoes channel. It's really simple.
Otherwise, apologies for getting tied up.

https://strawpoll.com/XOgOV09G4n3
As far as Friday goes, I shouldn't have any issues this week, so 8PM EST will be what's aimed for again. Wednesday I might be a bit tied up for a follow-up game, so instead I might try to put a lobby up for something somewhere else around that timeslot but on a different day.

Alright, it's Wednesday.
As mentioned in the previous post, I'll be too tied up to host something tonight, but the poll results are still in for today. There's a multi-way tie, so to make a decision, it'll be the reTHAWed mod for Tony Hawk this weekend.
Setup is pretty simple. First, you need the Tony Hawk's American Wasteland game files. I suggest going to MyAbandonware and nabbing the Full-Rip zip file there, and it'll have all the assets and such that you need. After that, grab the updater here
https://rethawed.com/
And it should walk you through the rest.
I'll hopefully see you all on Friday (and that this site's posting isn't as fugged up by then)
