by master bates aka DrBasarat
http://games.dsl.net.pk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=7026

To play Team Fortress 2 on Pakistani Servers require a no. of things before you can join Pakistani servers. Peoples miss around many things when they want to play TF2 online and for all those and my friends who keep asking the steps again and again im writing this guide so lets come to the point.

(DJ)

First let youself know that what are the requirements for game before you jump in:-

1.7 GHz processor,
512 MB RAM,
DirectX 8 video card,
Internet connection
Recommended:
3.0 GHz processor,
1 GB RAM,
DirectX 9 video card

Happy! Now we come to the original part that what exactly we need (the software part) to run the game successfully.

First of all this game is built only for multiplayer purpose. This means ie you can create your own server or you can join some of cracked servers (only cracked servers if you haven't purchased the game legaly). Their are currenty two cracked pakistani servers.
1. Micronet 3Gsqr Team Fortress 2 Server
Code:
[URL="steam://connect/58.65.170.250:27017"]58.65.170.250:27017[/URL]


1. GET THE GAME


Download it from any torrent but the game version must match the version of the server so you can join MBL. If it isn't then you have to download patches to upgrade it to the specific version.The current version of TF2 required for MBL server is 1.0.8.2

The Patches can be obtained from the following link.

Patches From 1.0.0.0 upto 1.0.8.2

MBL Latest Patches Discussion Thread

For the patches below use my skydrive link.
1.0.6.6 to 1.0.6.8
1.0.6.8 to 1.0.6.9
1.0.6.9 to 1.0.7.0

Waqass Skydrive

1.0.8.3 All in one Link:

ftp://games.dsl.net.pk/TF2/Patches/


Now install the game. Apply the pathces. Note: If you have the wrong version of game you will get errors like "game is forcing particles consictenty water.psf somethinglike this." To check the current version run the game open the console and type version.


2. GET THE MAPS

The MBL server has some non official maps also so when you try to connet them at the time when they are using non official map youll get an error "map is missing". Here are the links for the maps you have to download.
There are six custom maps been uploaded to MBL TF2 Server

1. CTF_Premuda_B1b (56.71 MB)

2. Nightfall - Contest Edition (16.31 MB)

3. CTF Haarp Beta 2

4. CTF Vector 1.0

5. PLR Panic B2

6. PLR Solitude B1

Game_installed_Folder>tf>maps> or it can be like this if you have legit game
Steam>steamapps>ursteam id>team fortress 2>tfMmaps
There would be also other file in that folder that will make you confirm of the right folder.




3. GET THE STEAM
To play online you must have this software by valve corp. ie STEAM. We will not go into what steam does just download it from here

http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi
Download and run the setup. Then creat a new account. Log into it and then run the game.Always run the steam before runing game.


4. JUMP INTO THE GAME
Run the game. Click on Find servers. Go to Favorites tab and right click. Paste this ip 124.109.34.34:27017 on the new box appeared and click add to favourites. Now from now on you just have to run game and double click on this adress and walla your ready to fire. :partytime:

4. F.A.Q

Q1. I am getting "map is missing error"
Ans. Of course you have to download this map manually coz its not the default map of the game. You can get the links from above or if it isn't there than google it.

Q2. I am getting error "game is forcing particles consictenty water.psf" somethinglike this.
Ans. You have to wrong version of game. Check the version of game by opening console and typing "VERSION" the version should match the mbl server version.

Q3. I am getting error "No permission to run"
Ans. This means your game is non steam. You have two options now
1. Run the game with out steam ...open the console by pressing ` key (the key usually below escape key) then type "connect 58.65.170.250:27017"

2. Secondly if you still want to run steam and dont wont to do this every time you start game....google undead patch version 3.00 or 3.33.... download it patch the steam...select yes in both options and then run steam....then run game and walla you only have to enter the server ip only one time now...click add favourites and enter 58.65.170.250:27017.

5. Addons

Waqass, brilliant brilliant guide. I was thinking about composing something similar and you did it. Fantastic job. I'm gonna sticky it up. Though I had to edit your post. Direct torrent links of the game is not allowed according to PG rules.

I tried that! Even with different torrents it gives me Russian language! And I don't have an installable torrent, it's just a map from which you start the game, so it's not installable.. you can only delete it.

Nopes, server is mostly empty. You'll see ppl around the 10pm-1am period. Specially on weeknights, the rush is too much for the server to handle. Am talking about MBL only of course.

^ Correct me if im wrong ...nowdays i have seen massive boost in the traffic of TF2 MBL server. Kids like awad bro and usman are online at day time also as soon as they come from school not to mention their big brothers takeover night time for real fight. Lolz Anyway point is that you have to monitor game-monitor.com link to get an idea and the second thing yes its a headache when server reahces 16 or 17 pplz. But in some maps it is still playable. I have heared this is due to COD4 and TF2 are on same server of MBL.

So, finally my game is English language again, anyway: the MBL server is 1.0.4.4 but there are also servers who are 1.0.4.6/1.0.4.7. Is it possible to copy my TF2 map and update one of them so I have 2 versions? Or am I talking rubbish now? ;)

I told u .u have to start the steam first and let it run in the background. Then run the game and follow on the process with copying and pasting...u can still access steam within the game.

Krotos, paste the files which are in the updates map to the game directory. Overwrite everything. Copy and paste one by one.
