Hello,

Sorry for the long downtime of TUS. It's server has been upgraded.
As StepS requested, we're now on https. (secure protocol, so your ISP can't see you're pulling each others' hair)

There will be bugs, please use the bug board to report them.

Cheers

As requested, the overall statistics of classic league has been reset. For those who want to access the previous overall stats they can visit the classic standings page and use the time machine. To avoid confusion for the newbies, the item is the last option in the time machine selectbox. It's called overall era #1.

Everyone is on ground zero on the classic league. Other leagues are untouched. Happy 51st season of TUS Classic league!

The prize on the Classic league is removed. However there's a chance for it to get enabled again in the future.

If you found somewhere on the site which is not working correctly with the reset (which is likely), please open up a topic in the report bug board.

This topic has been popping up for a while. Let's see how the community thinks.
I will be reviewing who votes and their leagues statistics on TUS to evaluate their vote. So please do not spam votes, that won't have any effect on the result.

If there's a success, the reset will start at the beginning of season #51. The first 50 seasons stats will be kept and accessible.

You can change your vote in case you changed your mind.

This topic has been moved to Leagues Complaints.

Thanks to CyberShadow, as the title says, HostingBuddy and TUS are now connected.

Now it is possible to load both TUS schemes and TUS maps into HostingBuddy. With that possibility, you can load TUS official schemes or load BIT maps into HostingBuddy. Moreover you can now tell hosting buddy to load a specific map author or even load a map only from a map pack.

If you found bug or you have suggestions to develop more useful commands you can post them on this thread.

Load a TUS official scheme
After hosting your game, in the lobby type:

!tusscheme

That command will automatically load the TUS official scheme for your game.

Load scheme by its ID

!tusscheme 1234

How to load maps
While in the lobby, to pick a random map from TUS:

!tusmap

Load a random map by an author

!tusmap author:husk

There are shorthands to this which also works: (both of the below works as well)

!tusmap a:husk
!tusmap husk

If there's space in the name of the author, you should put it into double quotes:

!tusmap a:"Big Billy"

Load a random map from a mappack
This feature allows you to pick from a custom mappack. This is good when you have a collection of maps with your standards and you can tell hosting buddy to pick only from that collection. This feature also works as a "map picker" feature.

!tusmap pack:123

shorthand:  !tusmap p:123

Set a map type
There are 3 different map types. PNG (color maps), BIT and LEV. You can set this option to force HostingBuddy to only pick a specific type of map:

!tusmap type:bit

shorthand:  !tusmap t:bit

Set the map size
You can set whether the map should be big or not.

!tusmap size:big

shorthand:  !tusmap s:big


Similar explanation can also be found in the HostingBuddy lobby with !tushelp.

Hey guys!

TUS turned 6 today! Thank you all for being with us and keeping this game/community alive

This time, my wife made a cake! no more cake images from Google. (yep raised the bar!!)

Hey guys

Following SPW's footsteps on TEL; I'm gonna do the same on the Classic league. As many of you have noticed, I'm pretty busy in real life and I can't code TUS the way I used to. So currently this is the best way for me to help and get involved again.

I talked to obscure and he came on board too. We decided to each put 100$ on each season of Classic league for the next 3 seasons, making it 200$ prize for each season. If we see positive results (and we're not broke by then), we'll continue renewing it. DarkOne has donated the same amount towards additional prizes.

I will gladly accept if anyone wants to chip in to make the prize more fat! (Chicken23 already offered he will take part) If you'd like to chip in, make a donation to TUS and then let us know for which season your donation belongs to. Here's the path to heaven donation.
Since the final prize is not known yet, we can't say the exact amount for each winner. But the 200$ of me and obscure is guaranteed, so it won't be any lower than that.

Playoffs winner takes all?
No. 200$ won't be only for the playoffs winner. These people will be rewarded with the cash prize:

- Standings #1
- Playoffs qualification spot
- Playoffs runner-up
- Playoffs winner

How the prize is split
There are some suggestions for how to split the prize. Such as:

- Standings #1 (20$)
- Playoffs qualification spot (8 x 10$)
- Playoffs runner-up (20$)
- Playoffs winner (100$)

Additional prizes
- Best shot of the season (20$)
- Best turn of the season (20$)
- Worst shot of the season (20$)
- Worst turn of the season (20$)
- Best Commentary (20$)
- These prizes are not limited to just the classic league, but also Free league, TRL and TEL. Nominations should be of games played within the time of one classic league season.

But since the exact amount is not known, those numbers will change. Like always you can post up your ideas and we may choose the best splitting formula/plan.

What's the requirements to join
You need to have a Paypal or moneybookers account. If you don't have it, you can still play and enjoy high level of competition and measure your skills.

No aliasing
Despite some of you who highly enjoy making aliases with detailed backgrounds, I don't. I won't be paying any aliases and fortunately we know how to detect them. Even if we don't find an alias's true identity, we can detect whether he/she is an alias or not.

No cheating scripts or modules
Well forget the cash prize for now. We never allowed any scripts in our league anyway and we've banned those who cheated for at least two months. Since prize is on stake here, our tolerance on cheating will be much lower. You may get yourself banned for several months. For example getting banned for current season and the season after that.

Latest W:A update
Unfortunately there are cheat modules out there. Some of them only work on older W:A versions; Specially 3.6.31.0.
We do not allow those versions on our league. If you do use them for performance reasons, you need to fix your computer. If you have absolutely no other way, you should avoid playing certain schemes only if we approve.
