Understanding TheJTroopers: The Commands

Hello fellow paintballers!

In this part of the 'Understanding TheJTroopers' series we are going to dive deep into the commands of TheJTroopers. Explore ways in which to communicate and other in-game and rules to follow. I will also be explaining some in-game guidelines to help us work BETTER as a team. So here I give you - Understanding TheJTroopers : The Commands!





Tactics in paintball2 can be tough, mainly because it can get so fast-paced out there in those matches. That is why TheJTroopers have commands to follow, these commands will not only make our clan more professional, but altogether - make our teamwork work!

Okay, so lets talk a bit about your daily paintball2 routine. What do you do? Do you...
  • Play a speed server
  • Play a public server
  • Play a jump server
  • Play a 24/7 server
  • Play a pgp server
Well, a lot of users do all of them. But the question is, what should you spend most of your time on paintball2 doing? The answer is - THERE is no particular answer. Instead, there is a method to follow. That method being, PLAY the games that WILL make you better at paintball2. There's no point in spending hours on a speed server if all the players there are newbies and you are there spawn-camping, instead it would of been better for you if you'd spent that time, say on a public server where more experienced players are. Or it could work the other way. For example you are experienced and do well in public servers, but find it hard against large numbers of paintballers who are all spraying everywhere. You should play what makes you better.

So now that you can determine what games to play when, you can now train in your own time when there are no TJT events on. But bare in mind, that when you are on these games - set a good example! Do not spam, swear, insult, flame, rage and use grammar. The last thing we want is tons of JTroopers on public servers spamming and raging.

When in TJT events there are a few command to look out for. I will be stating them here and explaining them. So here they are:

NOTE: All 'voice' commands will start with a . if the so called "command" does not start with a . then it is not a voice command.
.LINE #
- If # is not stated it is by default is the nearest clear line marked on the floor closest to the person who said it. If # is stated, it is where you should line up. For example: "LINE on the edge of that ramp by the tree"
You should always line up shoulder-to-shoulder and make it straight.


When Said: J! Joy! Justice! The Mighty JTroopers Rule!
 - When someone says this, you say it also. As a JTrooper this should be binded to the key 'x'. So when someone says it, press x so you do to. There's no point of being in TJT if you don't say our motto with other members.

Action: When a bullet is shot at you by the same team member
- This, by default means to get cover. It is a warning to the other member. NOTE: This may also change depending on the event. You will be notified in-game of any command changes relative to that event.

Action: When a team member shoots at something next to you

- The team member wants you to go that direction to which he is shooting, often comes after a wave. NOTE: Do not mistake this for a 'miss' by the team member.

.formation #
- Formations are said before matches and in training, the only chance you'll get to know the formations is by attending events. # refers to the formation number. For example ".formation 7"
.stack
- When this happens you help the person who says it get on a certain object or get over a certain obstacle, for example there is a barrel that the person wants to get on and the person says ".stack", then you should crouch next to him so he can hop on you. When there are large amounts of people you need to make a staircase to get up to high points. This is practiced in training.

[ #1 #2 ]
It always starts with a '[', This is used to describe where a particular person is. #1 is the person, #2 is the location. For example "[enemy hiding on ramp". This is done with a bind in you're locs file. For more information that, read the guide on getting started.

.r
- Known as 'return' to a destination. The destination will be defined in the actual event before this command is used. So when you see it, return your player to that particular place on the map.

.goTo #
- # can be a reference to a destination on the map. Example ".goTo middle grey ramp" or ".goTo TacticPlaceB"



Okay that is the end of The Commands, I will update this as more commands develop Etc.

Understanding TheJTroopers - The Basics

Hello and welcome to the first part of the 'Understanding TheJTroopers' series.
In this article I will be going through the following things:

  • What TheJTroopers are all about
  • Explaining our logo
  • Stating the guidelines
Okay, so lets get started! So, what are TheJTroopers all about? Well, TheJTroopers are all about increasing the enjoyment you have on paintball2, whether that is making new friends, battling it out in official matches, leading meetings, exploring new matches or just generally the fun of being part of a TEAM. Yes, I said it, TEAM, something which has been missed out a lot in clans on paintball2, yeah sure you can have a clan, but are they a team? Do they work as a team? Do they plan as a TEAM? Do they party as a team? Do they socialize as a team? Do they train as a TEAM? For the most common clans, no they don't. They just battle as a team and that's about it. But as for us JTroopers, we do all of the mentioned above!

Quick Fact: Our official team-color is   RED  
TheJTroopers are not ALWAYS active, I mean, we do have lives so you can't expect us on 24/7, however we are not INACTIVE either. You could say we are active all the time, but not on all the time. - If you know what I mean.

If you want to keep in touch with JTroopers either download KVIrc: ftp://ftp.kvirc.de/pub/kvirc/4.2.0/binary/win32/KVIrc-4.2.0-Equilibrium.exe, join #paintball, #team_tjt and #TJT.  For a guide on getting started with KVIrc go here: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=15445.0.

Also you should get a program called xfire, get it here (it's free): http://www.xfire.com/download/now/. My username is: thejkid

Now, for explaining our logo, lets bring it up larger shall we?

^ This logo is infact an artistic form of a J, hand-drawn by JMR himself. The colors are inspired by the common team colors used in-game, RED, BLUE, PURPLE and YELLOW - All bright colors and work GREAT TOGETHER, like us, we are bright, work together well and are all a TEAM!

J itself does not mean just one word, but it stands for a few words. Joy, Justice and Jordan (Jordan's Troopers).


Now for the guidelines. As a JTrooper you must follow these guidelines. If you do not follow these, you will be kicked from TheJTroopers.
  • Your name must ALWAYS be in proper format in any TJT event or when commanded to by the leader. That means it should be _The_Official_Tag_ then two red blocks each side of your name, then in yellow - your username itself. Names are like this to make sure that ranks are not mixed up.
  • Never claim to be a rank that you are not.
  • Always use good grammar, you are representing TJT, so act like it.
  • Do not swear.
  • State the motto when any other member does.
  • Always obey orders given by the leader.
  • Never team-eliminate
  • Never spam the chat
  • Be a good-troop, if you win or loose a match, make sure you say 'Good game' and *shake hands*-sort of speak. Don't moan if you loose, but complain if you suspect foul play.
  • Keep reading this blog and looking for updates.
  • Get a way of chatting with the leader and other TJT members (either xfire or mIRC or both.)
  • Never impersonate another person.
  • Never insult anyone


Okay, that pretty much does it for this part of the series. Keep checking back for the latest posts on TheJTroopers!

TJT Fieldrunner In The Making!

Hello fellow paintballers,

I am working on our first ever map - TJT Fieldrunner. The official thread for this can be found here: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=25458 - I will keep that thread updated as much as I can.
TJT Fieldrunner is a map that is meant to have a lot of open space, but cover at the same time. The map is meant to have many different routes and create a great CTF experience not only for plain games, but for matches too. When we meet all these goals, the game will be released as full (non-beta).
To download the latest version of TJT Fieldrunner, go to the downloads page.
