Introducing Plosileague: Overlord and Babel League

Post by A Meteorite »

Today, I am proud to announce a new, fun, and exciting creation: Plosileague!

Plosileague employs the very popular Overlord and Babel maps that have never been used in a dedicated league until now. They are both the "standard" version of the map (jumping, ricochet, 3 shots) with no flags except team flags.

Plosileague uses a slightly different system for winning than most other leagues. The match will end after 30 minutes, however if one team gets 5 captures total and at least 2 captures more than the other team, that team automatically wins. Matches are automatically recorded and reported.

The following are official match servers that are dedicated to recording and auto reporting matches:
  • Overlord official match server: league.bzfx.net:5180
  • Babel official match server: league.bzfx.net:5181
We also have funmatch servers (unofficial) that do not record nor report:
  • Overlord funmatch server: league.bzfx.net:5182
  • Babel funmatch server: league.bzfx.net:5183
And what would recording be without replaying?
  • Overlord replay server: league.bzfx.net:5190
  • Babel replay server: league.bzfx.net:5191
There is also a public rotation running at league.bzfx.net:5200.

You can find sign-up at http://bzfx.net/league and you will be usually added to the global group within a day.

You can also visit #plosileague on irc.freenode.net to hook up with a match or if you have questions.

Relaunching Plosileague

Post by A Meteorite »

Sorry to be bumping this, but...

The Plosileague servers are back! :D

Ever since I moved BZFX's physical location I have ignored the Plosileague servers (they are hosted by me, using BZFX's resources). I'm quite sorry. :(

Anyways, I'm quite proud to announce they're back with a vengeance. Let's get some matches going and get some activity!

Please note that there may be some problems due to the stale configs and the BZFS source. If there are any, please send me a PM so I can look into it.

P.S.: The addresses in my first post are not working as the DNS is (still) updating. Use bzfx.net for the hostname, but use the same ports (or search the listserver).

P.P.S.: We have a space on IRC: #plosileague on irc.freenode.net

The address league.bzfx.net is back (took awhile for DNS to update).

I'm also proud to announce we're also in the process of getting a European mirror (kudos to brad). This might take awhile, but it'll be here soon. :)

Plosileague is down for an undefinable time. There was a problem with the hoster.

We'll be back as soon as we can.

Plosileague is baaaack!

Post by A Meteorite »

Great news! BZFX has acquired a server, and moved to it. This means that Plosileague is moving along with it. The server is located in Germany (yes, I know, but maybe we can get a US mirror or later move the main BZFX server to the US).

Currently, the match servers are not up, but I hope to have them back up and running in the coming days.

As always, let me know if there are any problems with the Plosileague site.

Thanks for your commitment, players!

Tell your parents that you need to up and move to Germany so you can have better access to your BZFlag servers. ;-)

BZFX is still on the lookout for a US professionally hosted server (currently have access to two sweet home connections, but still), but it just hasn't become available to us right away.
