Information on the Batcave Servers

Provided by: Optimal Clan

The Batcaves are a collection of private Nexuiz servers operated by Dokujisan. They are intended to be a place for North American clans and other people in the Nexuiz community who have a good attitude, to practice and mingle without being bothered by some of the players on the public servers.


UPDATE 02.19.2009:
- If you know of maps that you think should be on the batcaves, let Dokujisan know.
- Let everyone know about the Mumble voice chat server. You don't need an account to access the lobby. You do need an account to access the clan channels.



Mumble Voice Chat server Status

Instructions for the Mumble server.

You can connect to these servers by typing the following in the Nexuiz console:

connect private.optimalclan.com:26001
connect private.optimalclan.com:26002
connect private.optimalclan.com:26003
connect private.optimalclan.com:26004
connect private.optimalclan.com:26005

Or you can bind those to keys to make it faster to connect:

bind f9 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26001"
bind f10 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26002"
bind f11 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26003"
bind f12 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26004"
bind f12 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26005"

Or you can create aliases to make it faster to connect (add them to your autoexec.cfg):

alias bc1 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26001"
alias bc2 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26002"
alias bc3 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26003"
alias bc4 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26004"
alias bc4 "connect private.optimalclan.com:26005"

Then you just type "bc1" in your console (without the quotes) and it will connect to bc1.



Tourney Mod

These servers run a Tourney Mod, which allows us to use a warmup mode before starting a match. After the match starts, the players in the match cannot hear the conversation of the spectators. All modes (1v1, TDM and CTF) have a timelimit but no fraglimit.

Configuring Game Modes

The servers can be set to play ffa, 1v1, TDM or CTF by calling a vote for any of the following...

ffa - free-for-all deathmatch gameplay
1v1 - 1v1 gameplay
2v2tdm - 2 vs 2 Team Death Match
3v3tdm - 3 vs 3 Team Death Match
4v4tdm - 4 vs 4 Team Death Match
5v5tdm - 5 vs 5 Team Death Match
3v3ctf - 3 vs 3 Capture The Flag
4v4ctf - 4 vs 4 Capture The Flag
5v5ctf - 5 vs 5 Capture The Flag

Voting commands

You call the commands above by using vcall 1v1 and so on. There are a number of other voting commands available relative to the tourney mod. I will update this list here soon, but you can view them on the MOTD when you connect to the server

Inviting others

Generally, I'm okay with you inviting other players to the batcaves as long as they are cool-headed people (not jerks) and you tell them using the tell command so you aren't announcing the server address to everyone. If you aren't sure about this, then contact Dokujisan to make sure. They can always be kickbanned if they act out of line.

Official Clan Matches

For official clan matches, a special server can be setup just for that match (usually on port 26030). It is best to do this instead of using one of the batcaves for the clan match, because this special server can be setup as a public server so more people can watch the match. If you want to setup a clan match, then Contact Dokujisan and let him know the date/time/maplist/number of players.
