I read on the forums that there is a problem that is causing games not to show up in the server browser, is this the reason this game seems dead or is it truly this unknown?

Hey MisterX, thanks for pimping SG! I'm glad you guys like it. This game is a blast. The feel it dead on for a FPS. The pistols make this game so unique. Hope to see you fellas on the servers sometime  I read on the forums that there is a problem that is causing games not to show up in the server browser, is this the reason this game seems dead or is it truly this unknown?
SG uses the Q3 server browser which has always been a little flaky at best. The only difference is that is has a smokinguns game filter, and since SG uses a custom engine, it does not show up in the VQ3 servers browser. Check out these two threads for server info: http://smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=1427http://smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=1408 |

I have yet to play this game with real people...
I connect to a server that said it had 8-12 players and its either all bots (who just run into walls) or won't connect.

Pardner, if you ever look at this, would you mind getting someone to write up a _proper_ tutorial to get up and started with mapping for SG? The one there ends up with borked textures and crap.

Check the "server info" in the server browser before you connect. Most servers have bots enabled, which get kicked one by one the more players join. When I've played in the past days there were always at least 2 servers with only players on them  Especially today there were like 12 or 14 players on the server I was on. |

I saw that Hideous has posted onb our forums and was able to solve the problems. Just to point out here, this was a mod for Quake3 for years and all of our old tutorials were for that mod version. ReD_NeCKersoN has started making new tutorials for the new version  |

I remember you handin' me some lead n' gunpowder. This game needs more weapons and maps. Also, better models and textures for graphic snobs. Counter-Strike AWP-haters beware, Sharp Rifle with Scope is almost same. |

Except that it's slower to reload and more balanced. Although it's fun to shoot someone so that they die, then reading the message "You shot Renton in the groin.".

One of the most awesome things that happened to me:
I was playing with a friend, taking turns. He buys this shotgun, kills a couple of dudes and is promptly owned.
I respawn near to where he was killed, and on my way there on the "Quest for the Shotgun" I pick another revolver. The shotgun isn't where he died, so I start looking for the guy who killed him.
I enter an adjacent room, immediatly turn to the side and see a guy looking/aiming at me. Two revolver shots and the guy is dead before he could even fire.
I grab the shotgun.
I walk near a window and get killed by a sniper.

Maps are definitely in the making! Joe Kari, Coup George, EvilFutsin, and Leon have done some work on updating the textures. I wouldn't be suprised to see them continue their work. Unfortunately, smokin' guns does not have a modeler. Joe Kari and Coup George have added quality models to their map (see Alamo) but they have not attempted to make new weapon models and/or player models. Counter-Strike AWP-haters beware, Sharp Rifle with Scope is almost same.
I guarantee that 95% of the time, I can out sniper a shaprs with just my two peacemakers  |

Hey, my new map is almost done! Although it's very small, so Pardner, I'm gonna try to convince my modeling friend to help you out. |

Fortunately, I am not graphics snob but 'better' graphics would appeal more to newer generation gamers. Personally I like retro-ish graphics more (I still play Quake). |
