======DSWP features======

:german: //Dieser Artikel wurde ins [[dswp:features_german|Deutsche übersetzt]].//

DSWP aka Don’t Shoot Wurst Please, online since 2008, is a non-clan community concentrating on TDM. We emphasize fun and balanced gameplay over competition, although this doesn’t mean we would punish very good players — as a completely random example (<sub>whistles innocently</sub>), our TDM is often visited by people from the [[http://www.goreclan.net/|goriest UrT clan]] out there.

Although DSWP is [[http://www.urbanterror.info/groups/profile/dswp/|registered as a clan on urtinfo]], we don’t play in any leagues and there are no plans to change this. Using the tag ( **''[dswp]''** or **''DSWP.''** ) is restricted to admins; everyone can freely use the supporter tag ( **''[dswp-cheer]''** ).

=====Gameservers=====

All DSWP servers are public, except for the BOMB or TS/CTF server if there’s a funwar going on (not terribly common lately…). All servers have friendly fire enabled. Our local time is CET (Central European Time) = UTC/GMT +1 hour. DSWP hardware is located in Frankfurt, Germany, directly connected to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DE-CIX|DE-CIX]]. All servers run [[http://www.bigbrotherbot.net/|B3 bot]]; TDM has almost-constant admin coverage.

Whenever you need to, you can request admin help by typing **''!admin <reason>''**((**''!admins''** (plural) is a different command showing admins currently in-game; these two are often confused by players. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.)) (as in **''!admin head_shoter is botting''**) in the chat. **Abusing this command may lead to ban.** Remember, actually //getting// help depends on whether there’s anyone awake and able to join the game at the moment. In case of cheaters, everyone is encouraged to record a demo and post it in the [[http://www.dswp.de/old/lamas-corner/|Lamas corner]]. Note: we do not punish staying in %%spec%%; take your time and record as long as needed.

====TDM (Team Deathmatch)====

This is our main server, populated from morning to late night. We run two mapcycles (small and big) that everyone registered on the forum [[http://www.dswp.de/old/map_voting.php|can vote]]. Smoke grenades and HK69 are disabled to avoid once-common impenetrable thickets of fail at rush hours.
**Name**: %%<<<%%Wurst test serwer\\

**maxClients**: 50 (45 + 5 private slots)\\
**fraglimit**: 250\\
**timelimit**: 12 minutes\\
**respawns**: 5-second wave

====BOMB====

We hold weekly bomb nights every Sunday 20:00 CET — good way to meet DSWP admins and other regular players. Join us on [[#mumble|Mumble]] too!

**Name**: [dswp] bomb serwer\\
**Address**: 83.141.4.234:22223 / dswp.de:22223\\

**Address**: 83.141.4.234:22224 / dswp.de:22224\\
**maxClients**: 14 (10 + 4 private slots)

====CTF (Capture the Flag)====

Previously an all but empty TS server.

**Name**: [dswp] ctf serwer\\
**Address**: 83.141.4.234:22225 / dswp.de:22225\\
**maxClients**: 25 (20 + 5 private slots)\\
**timelimit**: 12 minutes, no caplimit\\
**respawns**: 10-second wave

====4.2 TDM (Team Deathmatch)====

Our [[http://www.urbanterror.info/news/376-urban-terror-4-2-is-here/|4.2]] testserver, expected to become the main server sometime in the future.

**Name**: %%<<<%%Wurst test serwer\\
**Address**: 83.141.4.234:22227 / dswp.de:22227\\
**maxClients**: 37 (32 + 5 private slots)\\
**fraglimit**: 250\\
**timelimit**: 12 minutes\\
**respawns**: 5-second wave



=====Getting admin rights=====

DSWP is meritocracy — //asking// for rights actually counts a bit against you. If you are a good player (in the “not being a dick” sense, not stats), register on the forum, report cheaters, and generally are visible, you may expect to become a moderator someday. There is no required minimum amount of mods, neither is there any set timespan for evaluating people’s character, but every now and then, old people become inactive, creating a perceived need for replacement.



=====Online presence=====

====Site & forum====

DSWP is running a [[http://www.dswp.de/old/|phpBB forum]] with additional custom bits to show people on Mumble, the status of servers, etc. Players registered on the forum also have access to their and others’ [[http://www.dswp.de/old/xlr_stats.php|XLRStats pages]].

====IRC====

We have a channel on [[http://www.quakenet.org/|QuakeNet]] named #dswp. If you don’t know what [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat|IRC]] is, the easiest way to chat there is to use the [[http://www.dswp.de/old/chat.php|QuakeNet web applet]] (link also available in the main menu) that connects you to #dswp with your forum username; you have to be logged in to use it. For prolonged stay it’s more sensible to use a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients|dedicated IRC client]] — for starters, most common clients for Windows are mIRC and Miranda IM, terminal-loving Unix people tend to use irssi, XChat/HexChat is a graphical client available for both Windows and Linux, Firefox users can install an IRC plugin named chatzilla, and there are also several more generic chat clients that understand IRC (you may know Pidgin, née Gaim).

On #dswp resides our lovely CuntBot; her function is to act as a mediator between the channel, forum and game server. List of the commands is available on our <del>Anus</del>[[http://www.dswp.de/old/wiki/doku.php/projects:dswpbot:commands|Wiki]]; you can also ask for the list using **''!help''** on the channel. Her commands are prefixed the same way B3 ones are, with **''!''** for normal use and **''@''** for publicly visible output. CuntBot allows proper-levelled people do some of the B3 things without joining the game (**''!say''**, **''!bigtext''**, **''!kick''**, **''!slap''**, **''!nuke''**); she’s also relaying the in-game ''!admin'' requests to the channel. Cuntie’s also reporting when any of the registered people joins any of the servers or Mumble, and giving the information about people on IRC in the [[http://www.dswp.de/old/whoswhere.php|whoswhere display]]. For fun, there are **''!penis''** and the magic all-question-answering **''!8ball''**.

When CuntBot is down, aimlessbot takes her place. He’s simpler, has no powers on the channel or on the game server, but can still listen for !admin, tell you who’s playing or mumbling, etc.

====Mumble====

{{tutorials:mumble.png }} Our software of choice for trashtalking, discussing anal beads and singing badly off-key birthday songs is [[http://mumble.sourceforge.net/|Mumble]]. Before use, it [[tutorials:mumble-how_to|needs calibrating]] to your sound card / microphone / drivers / whatever; be sure not to skip this step, for the admins of DSWP are fragile of ear and quick to anger.

There’s Mumble viewer on the upper right corner on all forum pages; CuntBot/aimlessbot and B3 also have **''!mumble''** command displaying users online. We have custom-built [[projects:mumbleswitcher|Mumble switcher]] to move players to their respective team’s channel on Mumble; most of the time there’s not enough people to warrant this though, and everyone talks on the Homies channel where they’re protected from switching. (Whenever you connect, you get moved to Homies automatically.)

:!: **Note for Windows users:** In case you already have an older installation lying around, you may run into an odd problem, Mumble complaining that “A referral was returned by the server” and shutting down. [[http://blog.mumble.info/important-update-to-mumble-1-2-3a/|Read this]].



=====User software=====

====For Windows====

Samtron has written a Vista/7 compatible desktop gadget named [[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/dswp-desktop-gadget-windows-only-t1940.html|DSWP Server viewer]] that shows people on forum/servers/mumble/irc.

====For Linux====

Everything here is written by Pirat and command-line only.

For browser haters, there’s [[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/postdemo-0-0-9-12-post-demos-w-o-browser-t2770.html|postdemo]] intended for posting demos & ban info (also suitable for posting anything else on the forum).

[[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/dswpppl-0-0-6-show-people-online-on-dswp-t2804.html|dswpppl]]  shows people on forum/servers/mumble/irc.

[[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/dswpmapvote-0-0-2-vote-for-map-cycle-w-o-browser-t3455.html|dswpmapvote]] allows you to define your preferred mapcycle and vote with a single command without visiting the [[http://www.dswp.de/old/map_voting.php|map voting page]] and click-click-clicking a whole bunch of little checkboxes.

====DSWP bar====

This is our Firefox addon for addicted players; there’s a [[projects:dswpbar|dedicated article]] on this.

====UTC (Urban Terror Configurator)====

//(Work in progress)// Coded by zietsh and eXtr33m, this is a [[http://www.dswp.de/old/dswp_tools/utc/utc.html|Javascript-based page]] for creating a config file via GUI, rather than editing cvars directly. There’s a [[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/utc-v-1-0-t5785.html|dedicated forum page]].

====Mast0rlist====

//(Work in progress)// Wursti’s [[http://www.dswp.de/old/masterlist.php|homegrown server browser]], allowing you to sort servers by version and gametype; the IP addresses are links for connecting to the server via [[http://www.urbanterror.info/downloads/launcher/|UrT Launcher]]. There’s a [[http://www.dswp.de/old/forum-gameserver-support/playing-with-the-mast0rlist-t5766.html|dedicated forum page]].
