So the good news is I've added some more maps and it seems the game doesn't lock up anymore.
The bad news is that it's still via lan ip only. Have bash and feel free to let the mappers know how much you appreciate their works!

thanks! looking forward to checking these out tonite! -trumpee

Your welcome z170bilder. It'd be wise to pre-dl the maps from the 1st post in this thread and save yourself some loading time.
The warning post for dl'n 3rd party materials can be ok'd (The trusted XP-key for the server is still not working).

I had fun playing on this server every once in a while until I got banned because of the paranoid admin.

[ÐutchSmºke]

That's bad indeed. Good thing that there're plenty of other servers out there to choose from.

[ÐutchSmºke]

So I've added a few more maps for your enjoyment and also, don't forget to leave the mappers some feedback for their hard works.
(You see who made it in the url when you down load the map)

[ÐutchSmºke]

Updated a few maps to latest build. Seems there's an issue with the ripper crashing the game back to desktop if you try your weapon settings - the reason being old downloaded maps in your pak folder. Clear em out and start afresh. You can thank your friendly mapper MoxNix for quick fix'n of DM-Phobos-A2 & DM-Eliminator-V23.
Have fun!

A quick HeadsUp for those experiencing game lockup or needing several reconnects.
Check your c:/Users/Admin/Documents/UnrealTournament/Saved/Paks/DownloadedPaks folder for updated maps. Having an old version of a map loaded here seems to be the problem.
For info on the latest map version being hosted on the LoPing, check this threads first post.

Effective Immediately

The LoPing Arena will be in hibernation till further notice.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank EPIC for resuscitating UT and all those who dropped in to checkout the custom maps.
A very special Shout-Out of appreciation goes out to all the Mappers & Modders & Redirectors, whose work I was privileged to host.
It's been UnReal.

An Honorable mention goes out to RobJeffrey who maps I hosted before the RushBase incident, but could not thank thru the forum.

Well, hopefully this isn't permanent. Out of all servers, yours should be the one that should properly show up in the server browser after all of the support you've given to community mappers/modders! It still boggles my mind that it would never show up.

[ÐutchSmºke]

It's just a case of a winter time-out.
Now that this build is playable again after a 2 build haitus, I can get back to fragging/testing out the communities hard work, especially your spacenox rework MΛuL!

[ÐutchSmºke]

Just a quick headsup for the new mappers out there that stumble across here.

• When putting your works up for the community please consider tagging your maps thread with [PROTOTYPE] (YourMapNameHere).
  
• Also do not forget to check that the map name loads up correctly along with a screenshot(if possible) in the mapvote menu.
  
• Consider naming each map update accordingly, eg. DM-YOURMAPa,b,c or DM-YOURMAPv1,v2,v3. This gives admins a clear overview for up2date hosting of your works.

Thanks in advance!

Oh yeeah, I couldn't bear looking at all these great maps being put out (& recooked) and not be able to get em out there for people to enjoy as much as I do.
@Epic - Thanks for reseting my keys . (I'll pretend the closing of my ticket never happened.)
