Twisted Metal!

Miscellaneous

It’s finally there. We are working hard on the launch of Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal is based on the game Twisted Metal. It’s a vehicular DM server, built by Kar! We are working hard on fixing bugs. Will you help us identify bugs (and have a lot of fun while doing that)? Then pop up in Twisted Metal!

IRC Channel: #tm
Server IP: server.lvcnr.net:8000

Have fun on Twisted Metal!

Forum update

Miscellaneous

We are going to attempt to update the forums again. We expect downtime of the forum to be less than 1 hour. Please bear with us while we are performing the upgrade. We will update this post once the upgrade is done or if we run into any issues.

UPDATE 1 (01:39AM GMT+1): We think it will last at least 2 hours at this moment.

Update 2 (02:06AM GMT+1): We are currently starting the real upgrade part locally. This should take about 30 minutes. After this we will update it on the server. This will take another 30 minutes we think. Please be patient.

Update 3 (02:27AM GMT+1): First part will take about 90 minutes instead if 30.

Update 4 (02:55AM GMT+1): Update seems to have gone well, we are now uploading the data. This will take around 30 minutes.

Update 5 (03:09AM GMT+1): Forums are back!

Statistics Counters

Miscellaneous

What is a statistics counter?
A statistics counter is an automated script that will get ingame information from you as a player and it will save that somewhere. This information is retrieved and made into a counter with bars. You can decide yourself what stats YOU want other people to see! You can add these pictures to your signature. They were created in such a way that they fit as a signature.

How do these stats get tracked?
Anonymous saves them for you, you have to do nothing to get them!

How can I get one?
You go ingame, you spawn and then you type the following (make sure you have your PM on!): /ircpm Anonymous register [Password Here]
Use your ingame password at your own risk!

For a more detailed guide on how to do this, click this link to go to the topic created by Krypton on how to work with the counter and the control panel.

How do I control the stats being reported?
Well, you just go to counter.lvcnr.co.uk or counter.lvcnr.eu and you can log in there and change the settings! You can change to a lot of different stats. More will be added soon!

Examples
My counter:

Yezpahr’s counter:
