Becoming a Jedi & Server Admin

We here at JediForces are more than just a gaming clan, we are a family. In order to become a Jedi we insist that you follow our application process. This process is designed to let us get to know you and to turn you into a true Jedi. To find out all you need to know about becoming a Jedi please read How to become a Jedi.

The Front Porch

This is the first important step on the path to becoming a Jedi. When you first join our forums, drop by the front porch to say hi and introduce yourself. Tell us who you are, how you found us, and let us know you are interested in joining so that you can become a _rebel.

Visit the Front Porch area now if you haven’t already!

Testimonial Room - Application

After your time as a rebel you will become a Padawan. After putting on this tag please post a full testimonial.

For information about how to make a testimonial please read the testimonial guidelines and be sure to visit the Testimonial Forum to read other testimonial to help you make your own.

Creative Project Showcase

This is by far the best section of the forums and the best idea we have ever had. Once you wear the padawan tag you and your sponsor will be charged with coming up with a creative project as the last step on the path to Jedihood. The project can be anything you want as long as it is creative! Some of the coolest posts on the forums can be found in the Creative Project Showcase section of the forums. Be sure to check out this section.

JediForces Youtube

As you may or may not know we have a Youtube group where we ocasionally (not very often) post funny videos from fun nights. We encourage you to visit the JediForces Youtube Post and consider submitting videos to add to our collection!

Adding your SteamID to your Profile - Important

When you first join the Jediforces forums we ask that you add your SteamID to your profile. Doing so will make activating reserved slots, un-banning should the need arise, and many other server processes easier.

To find your SteamID:

1. Log on to any server and type status into the console. Find your in-game username in list that is displayed. Your SteamID will be next to your in-game username and will look like this: STEAM_0:0:2543793.

2. Go to your forum profile and find the space labeled STEAM ID.

3. Copy your SteamID into there and press 'Submit'.

Donating to Jediforces

The Jediforces servers are not sponsored and depend on user donations. If you wish to donate to Jediforces there are two ways to do so. 100% of all donations go directly to server costs in the event (this has never happened) that donations exceed server expenses all extra money will be rolled over to the next month or used to upgrade server hardware.

Method 1: Paypal

Please visit to topic titled Donate or Purchase Reserved Slot for more information :


Method 2: By Mail
If you do not have a Paypal account and wish to send cash or check, please mail your donation to either SydeWynder_Jedi if you live in the US or Eric_Jedi if you live in CA.

Ventrilo

Ventrilo is by far the best way to get in touch with any Jedi and the best way to get to know us if you want to join our group. If you are interested in having fun and joining Jediforces, you will not hesitate and will join us on ventrilo!

Please visit this link to get the info you need to connect to our ventrilo.

Admin Messaging

When playing on one of our CS:S servers you may find that you need the help of an admin. To speak with the admins privately, simply type an @ in front of your message using the in-game chat. This will send your message straight to admins on the server and we can reply to your question or help you with any issues you have. Please do not spam/abuse this; it's there for a good reason. Thanks.

Taking Demo's

To record a demo, open console and type "record <demoname>"

This will record the demo of what you are seeing, whether it is spectating another player or actually playing yourself.

Please type status while recording so the SteamID is confirmed

The demo will be in C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<steamusername>\counter-strike source\cstrike

The demo will be called <demoname>.dem

To stop recording the demo, open console and type "stop"

To play the demo, open console in CS:S and type "playdemo <demoname>" (the .dem part is not needed)

Please use this feature if there is a hacker on the server but no admin around to ban him.

If you are still here you are a true winner! We hope you find this post useful and most of all we hope you enjoy your time spent in our community!

Thanks,
