its actually a sort of tongue in cheek joke. actually ran a server on freebsd called tuxsux years ago as you can see from the date

current server runs on linux

I have been running Overlord over Christmas with some fun matches. Not enough traffic to switch to a rotation yet but i do still have all of the maps and configs etc.

Saw Green Manalishi on, Spud - An Anarchist, tox and a few others still around. Alot of memories.

Zehra, noted. will be working on a page and stuff over the holidays. I manage multiple engineering teams at work so time is limited. Kierra, glad to see you back on the server. I am going to overhaul all the admins this weekend since many are long gone. Doing a complete reset. Kierra will be the fir...

since im a terrible player i mostly just use bzadmin to monitor my servers and chat

Yeah not really concerned about the leagues. I see ducati and others have merged over time. Hepcat is about a shared community. It may be nostalgia but I am opening it up to anyone that has ever played with us and anyone new. We started this journey in the 1990's in the SIlicon Graphics community. O...

Just a quick note and to reserve this for future edits. I have resurrected the original pillbox ctf server and been testing it out tonight. Alot has changed in probably over 12 years since I have run a public bzflag server including half the config options! You can find us on ##hepcat on freenode ir...

Just a quick note, dusted off all the old configs and compiled a 2.4.0 server. I have not gotten all of the logging and server process monitoring stuff back in place so PM me if it dies.

enjoy

it's back at borrego.hepcat.org:5154. thanks to those that have helped us retreive the maps and current settings. some things may be off so constructive tips on global settings and map configs will be taken here or on our channel ##hepcat on irc.freenode.net Rotation Times (US Pacific) 00:00 - 4:00 ...

the old rotation, pillbox/overlord/babel is on its way up. give us a couple days.

Optic Delusion wrote:Yeah, I say the full rotation is the way to go. Something like 7 hours, so the time of day that each map operates slowly changes.

that is a possibility, although i may not have all the maps/configs for that right away. the rotation we used back in 2005 was 4 hours per map.

Greetings, The one and only original pillbox server is back online after a 3 year hiatus! We are 85% back online but will need to sort out some plugins and logging code so there may be some short outages. Looking forward to seeing all the old regulars and all new players out there. current server ad...

i put overlord back up in "beta" mode this weekend and already it's got quite a few players. :D we are still working on the group/permissions files and adding the world weapons back in game. please use /report for any suggestions or email me at cosmo@hepcat.org or via the forums. --cosmos

Wow, both Pillbox and Overlord/babl rotation servers would be nice. Although dub.bzflag.org:5150 [and occasionally brl.arpa.net:5156] seem to be the pillbox servers, dub sucks [:?], so another would be very welcome :) yes, im back, offensive icon and all! im digging around my archives looking for a...

i've been pinged via email lately asking if i would ressurrect my server and thought i would gauge the interest here as i have some free time lately... a quick recap for the newer players, hepcat originally came online in 2003 running the pillbox ctf map on V1 servers, when V2 came out i switched th...

back when bzflag shifted to the 2.x codebase hepcat was a pure pillbox server but priorities forced us to abandon the hosting. when we came back in 2004 and silverfox had taken over hosting we ran a new map, overlord by dutchrai. it soon became just as successful as pillbox and in time we added a ro...

correct me if im wrong, but 3 shots is not proper ducati style right?

i modeled pillbox after ducati a bit 3 years ago but took off the rico and added a shot to differentiate.

im a stickler for rules

For those of you ducati nuts out there we put a second server up at borrego.hepcat.org:5155

It is ducati style 2 shot and rico with the pillbox map.

enjoy!

i have not heard anyone complain of this before and being a busy server it would not take long before lots of complaints rolled in. what os/client version are you using? when this happens try resigning in and using the /report command to report it. i can timestamp about when it occured and look in t...

I'd like to see one of those really old Hepcat map. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but it had jumping, rico, and superflags, and it was a red vd. green CTF. If someone can post pics of it, it might help me to remember it. it was pillbox. about 3 years ago i originally modified the bas...

x.xxx.*.* works. thanks.. i have high hopes that will keep the cheater out, since the first four digits of his IP so far have always been the same. of course you have just banned an entire class b and may have also locked out alot of legitimate players. just another example of how cheating jerkoffs...

i will get a rootDS server. and i want know, is this enough? 500 Mhz CPU 256 MB RAM 15 GB Webspace Traffic unlimited Mhz and Ram can maybe be more. 500 Mhz 256 Ram is only the minimum. cpu and memory are not particularly important unless your server is 98% utilized by other things and even then it'...

our newest server is the beloved pillbox map done ducati style.

2 shots, rico. pillbox with a twist.

check it out at valentino.hepcat.org:5154

see you there!

I've created a simple patchfile that changes the plugin's behaviour somewhat. This file should patch against the current 1.2 version of the fairCTF plugin source code. This patch implements the following features: 1. Teams are now free to carry their own team flags at any time. 2. The weaker team (...

Hi, Yesterday I threw 7-8 bots at a hepcat.org server. It was an accident, I've got 2 icons for BZFlag, and I picked the wrong one (the one I use for solo playing), and connected to hepcat. Before I realized what was going on, I was banned (which was totally OK, since I probably was ruining the gam...
