The Garnut Popular Post Nutter 15,157 Posted July 10, 2020 The Garnut Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 The server will be unlocked for the public today [7/10/2020] at 4-5PM EST If a FULLY free-to-play Free VIP, optimized server with 10x the FPS you get on other servers, and Gamemasters hosting events all day long is not enough to revamp this server and bring us up in the category, I'm going to be speechless. I'd like to thank @Alex Conway and anybody involved in this project over the past few days. A couple of 20-hour work days in development and brainstorming had gone to these changes (I'm actually writing up this post at 6AM and I am tired as shit, with an alarm clock for 11AM to wrap up this update), and I feel very comfortable our server is in a very competitive position in the content it provides, especially with the fact it is ENTIRELY free-to-play with no restrictions. If we do pick up a larger population, at a later time some classes may be restricted off back to our donators, however, Jedi is going to be a free-feature for all users unlike in the past. Thank you to everybody who contributed in ideas to this update and many players' patience as we made this transition. I really hope to see a strong commitment in activity to bring this server back to its original glory when we first launched at 60-90 player peaks when Phantom was still around. Back then I definitely lacked the knowledge of what can be done with the server. Free VIP All class restrictions have been lifted, the passive XP-boosting benefits and other misc benefits of being a donator have remained in place however, and those were not given to all users. Complete Job Overhaul Thank you @Alex Conway 212th Attack Battalion NEW - 212th Trooper : Enforcer - 212th Trooper : Pilot - 212th Trooper : Battery - 212th Trooper : Boiler - 212th Trooper : Waxer - 212th Trooper : Barlex 501st Legion NEW - 501st Trooper : Legionnaire - 501st Trooper : Pilot - 501st Trooper : Enforcer - 501st Trooper : Fives - Torrent Company : Jesse - Torrent Company : Echo - Torrent Company : Kix - Torrent Company : Captain Rex 327th Star Corps NEW - 327th Trooper : Artillery - 327th Trooper : Tank - K Company : Deviss 104th Battalion NEW - 104th Trooper : Machinist - 104th Trooper : Engineer - 104th Trooper : Incendiary 104th Wolfpack : Boost 104th Wolfpack : Comet 91st Mobile Recon Corps NEW - 91st Trooper : Scout - 91st Trooper : Marksman - Lightning Squadron : Stak - Lightning Squadron : Razor 41st Elite Corps NEW 41st Trooper : Scout Green Company : Draa Green Company : Cooker Coruscant Guard NEW Shock Trooper : Envoy Shock Trooper : Ward Shock Trooper : Sentry Shock Trooper : Hound Shock Trooper : Thire Shock Trooper : Stone Shock Trooper : Thorn Pilot Squadron New Everything? Jedi Order New Jedi : Youngling Jedi : Guardian Jedi : Consular Jedi : Sentinel Passive CIS Forces Powerful CIS Droids will randomly spawn in clusters on different Outposts throughout Anaxes, whether you go alone or with a party, this will surely be a fun activity to let the server's down-time pass by quickly as you level up and strengthen your character NOTE: this feature is disabled for the time being until we get to stress-test the server in a real gameplay environment. I am fairly confident GMs will handle spawning in droids if we are in need Leveling System The leveling system is soon going to be stretched out in a sense, as perks will be spaced out further thus leading to a slightly more grind-based gameplay. This feature could be taken advantage of during the server's downtime as players will likely be out in the wilderness passively fighting CIS forces when not running tryouts or other activities. NPC Base VJ Base removed Created a light-weight "Garnet NPC Base" for use on StarwarsRP and potentially due for MilitaryRP implementation This NPC base carries not even 30% the footprint of VJ base, sparing server CPU usage and boosting client FPS due to how light weight it is The tradeoff? at times NPCs may take longer to react to hostile forces, however, their visibility was largely increased as to engage in longer distances NPC spawns has been bumped up across the board for most events, while NPCs were nerfed significantly seeing as they are now taking up very little of our servers' resources NPCs not engaged in combat will occasionally patrol their vicinity Event System Invasion Event Difficulty: Low Average NPC health set at 175 NPC Density: High NPC Density will begin at 50-100 NPCs, however, will scale with the number of users online up to 200 NPC Population: Infantry Battle Droids, Battle Droid Commanders, Droid Engineers, and Droid Mechanics. Crystal Cave Event Difficulty: High Average NPC health set at 275 NPC Density: Medium NPC Density will begin at 40-60 NPCs, however, will scale with the number of users online up to 100 NPC Population: Infantry Battle Droids, Battle Droid Commanders, Droid Tankers, Droid Engineers, Magna Guards. Outpost Takeover Event Difficulty: Medium Average NPC health set at 225 NPC Density: Medium NPC Density will begin at 50-80 NPCs, however, will scale with the number of users online up to 125 NPC Population: Security Droids, Tactical Droids, Droid Engineers, and Droid Mechanics. Grapple Gun A custom SWEP has been added onto the server This SWEP will adjust your velocity and generally allow you to grapple over the walls of Anaxes' outposts fairly easily Ship Spawner Updated onto LFS vehicle base - NPC relocated into hangar bay Support for new LFS ships added Re-enabled the ability to spawn ships during events ^ this has now been removed ^ When having a ship spawned in, pressing E on the NPC will de-spawn it regardless of its location for ease of use/training. BARC Speeder with Stretcher added (ground vehicle) Binoculars This SWEP was added due to demand for god knows what reason Misc & Bugs Managers are able to Whitelist to all classes on the server Slowed down server-timeout/crash detection timer as to prevent false-positives for people joining for the first time TODO : Managers may utilize /staff promote up to trial admin No-Target tool for non-VJ based NPCs has been implemented 10 6 1 Quote Link to comment

In all seriousness, thanks for the work you’ve put in the past few days. This looks great and I think it’s really gonna help get player retention as well as higher numbers. 1 hour ago, Garnet said: - 212th Trooper : Boiler Hate to be that bitch rn, but I wanted to point out that the Lore character’s named Boil, idk maybe it was a typo on the sheet. If it’s not an easy fix, once someone earns that role, I can just have them change their job in game, no big deal 1 hour ago, Garnet said: Passive CIS Forces Powerful CIS Droids will randomly spawn in clusters on different Outposts throughout Anaxes, whether you go alone or with a party, this will surely be a fun activity to let the server's down-time pass by quickly as you level up and strengthen your character Question abt this, as a GM would this be something we could temporarily turn off during on-world events? Again, thanks for all your hard work, can’t wait to get back on and get the numbers up Edited July 10, 2020 by Snapper Quote Link to comment

I hope you all enjoy it, people from the SWRP community contributed an enormous amount of suggestions towards this change instead of crying in a hissy fit. 3 minutes ago, Snapper said: Hate to be that bitch rn, but I wanted to point out that the Lore character’s named Boil, idk maybe it was a typo on the sheet.

Again, thanks for all your hard work, can’t wait to get back on and get the numbers up Being that this feature is currently turned off, I'd like to say that I will be able to add a /toggledroid feature onto the GM system. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Bortnik 451 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This might be the most poggers SWRP update of them all. I’m glad you’ve been grinding the server recently, I really hope this is what we need to get back on track. On another note, I should be back from my California trip in a few days, so I’ll be able to help out again. Looking forward to trying all of the new features. Quote Link to comment

All you need to do is split the hard drive and you can have Windows and MacOS on the same Mac. It’s how I’m playing now and it runs a lot better than my old PC did Quote Link to comment
The Garnut Nutter 15,157 Posted July 10, 2020 Topic Author The Garnut Share Posted July 10, 2020 The server is officially released, I got finished with all the tasks I had on-hand exactly at 4:02PM with little to no sleep, so yay me for being somewhat responsible for once. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment
