Yes, we are still alive! (08 Nov 99)
Development still continues on OSP
Tourney DM, but at slower pace. To keep up to date on all of the latest features and
enhancements, check out the Discussion
Forum and OSP Beta Site. The
biggest addition is the creation of the OSP-L2 Weapons DM version of the mod that Allows
for flexible configuration of more aspects of the game, similar to Lithium2 for Quake2.
Stay tuned for an upcoming major release!

Version 2.5 of OSP Tourney
DM is a solid addition to the MAJOR upgrade in features that came with version
2.0. OSP Tourney DM has an entirely new level of integration never before seen in a
Quake II™ mod, competition based or otherwise. Here are the highlights of
OSP Tourney DM's features:
- The most helpful, thorough, fine
tuned and tested set of tournament and regular DM features available for either Regular
DM, Teamplay or 1v1.
- External server config editor,
TouneyCE from Filipe Toscano that allows for MUCH easier configuration of
OSP Tourney DM. The ability to tweak all of the options and modes of Tourney with an
integrated Help facility can allow anyone to easily configure OSP Tourney DM. With a
built-in Quake2 launcher, this utility makes Tourney a highly viable (and actually quite
fun) way to play Tourney under a SinglePlayer environment (with Gladiator server-side
bots). Updates to Tourney CE are available at http://homepage.esoterica.pt/~smashing
- Full integration with the latest
version of the server-side Gladiator "bots" (v0.95) from Mr Elusive.
Among the list of new features of these bots is the ability to strategically rocket jump
to key areas of any map.
- Optional/votable Lithium-style rune
support. Competition-environment Rune-teamplay is now possible with OSP Tourney
DM. These runes are as configurable as the Lithium runes along with a few new
features to make them even better. :)
- Now includes NetGames
USA's ngStats v1.1 for OSP Tourney DM.

- ngStats is a local log-parsing and
analysis system. After each match is played, all information that was recorded from
the match is stored in a player database and can be viewed in real-time. Very attractive
for both dedicated server ops and SinglePlayer off-net players (Win32-only at the present
time).
- Built-in support for the new ngWorldStats system from NetGames USA.
(All architectures) for global on-line player information. The detail on these
stats is phenomenal! Visit http://Quake2.ngWorldStats.com/
for details.

- Substantial networking improvements
to curb player lag and overflow.
- Numerous bug fixes and gameplay
enhancements (e.g. optional vote player kicking is now available).
Here is descriptive list, history.txt, of all features/bug fixes made on the
original
v1.0 of tourney. The current command/parameter list is described in commands.txt. The full readme.txt explains in greater detail the setup
requirements and current feature set available in OSP Tourney DM. server-settings.txt is a complete reference for server admins.
As always, OSP is running 5 servers
that are running the different variations
of OSP Tourney DM. Check them out if you want to get a feel for the gameplay.
Enjoy!

OSP Tourney DM
is a server-side only mod designed to facilitate match play for tournaments, whether
LAN-based or online. It also has an enhanced regular DM mode for relaxed warmups and
informal play.
Rather than having specific mods used for various aspects of tournament play (i.e.
Battle/GX for team play, Duel for 1v1, and even id DM for FFA qualifiers), the tourney mod
was designed specifically to handle these modes of play with all of their unique
requirements with the configurability of Lithium.
The tourney supports 4 "modes" of operation:
- Regular DeathMatch
- Qualifier DeathMatch
- Team DM Play
- 1v1 DM Play
It should be noted that each of these modes are in fact unique and are not just simple
hacks to give different modes of play. OSP Tourney DM is in fact 4 separate mods in one.
The mod conveniently includes separate pre-fabbed config files for each mode of operation.
Numerous other configuration options exist. Read the included readme.txt file and commands.txt for all the details. Then head over to the Download page and get it now!
