What started out as a tribute to id Software’s Quake 1 has continued into a cult game due to support of its dedicated players. Thanks go to Valve for hard work they put in to make Deathmatch Classic and for including all the weapons, power-ups, armour... well pretty everything from the original game. At this time we should also thank the people who carried on the development of DMC in the form of DMC Pro and DMQ. In particular the likes of Trendkiller, Divebomber, Pix and Mfrx Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:07:29 +0100 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article124.phtml Today we implemented quite a major upgrade on the portal software that generates the pages on DMC-Central.

The problem was found to be caused by a known bug in the core HLStats code that prevents unfair point accumulation for gained objectives in team based games. As we do not run any team games it was a simple matter just to bypass that part of the code. Thu, 08 Sep 2005 13:16:50 +0100 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article115.phtml Pix has officially heard back from valve regarding use of the DMQ client on VAC 2 enabled servers. After testing by the development team at valve they have given it the all clear for it to be used on VAC 2 servers. As most of the testing was done on the new versions of the client we recommend that everyone should upgrade to the latest version of the client so not be falsely detected as using a hacked game. Thu, 08 Sep 2005 12:48:57 +0100 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article114.phtml It's been a while since since the stats have been purged and now seemed a good time.

As a result of the recoding process it led us on to a couple of new ideas for new features at DMC Central. So here they are in practice: Bot'O'Matic Graph page - Is a comparison graph of Bots / Real players on all populated DMC servers (Refreshed every 3 minutes) All DMC Servers page - Like its name says it is a complete list of all populated DMC servers currently listed on the Steam master servers (Refreshed every 10 minutes) Thu, 16 Jun 2005 19:32:21 +0100 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article112.phtml There have been many attempts this week of people trying to hack our servers, or testing to see if a hack will work. This is the only warning that will be posted If your IP address comes up in the server logs that IP will be banned from the web site and game servers, no warnings given. Several IP address have already been blocked.

All the usual things are being recorded such as Flag events, Kills, Suicides and Power ups. Some players may of already noticed the new Top 5 player section on the front page of Free-Fall.

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 20:27:37 +0000 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article105.phtml Today we succefully finished the migration of Player Stats to hlstats version 1.31.... yes that means no stats data was lost :) The new version has a slightly different look but still retains the same initiative feel of the older versions. Some of you may also notice that the game server info page has a new style and contains even more info such as number of bots/ players, server plugins as well as the active players. The only downside is that we have now lost the /best3 function from within the game but for a 80% reduction in SQL querys used by the /skill function, it was probably worth the loss. Note: Please update your links as the stats are now in a new location Wed, 29 Dec 2004 18:52:20 +0000 http://www.dmc-central.com/Article104.phtml I have made a Service Release of the Adminmod Mulitkill plugin for DMC.
