StarwarsRP Update [09/25/2022]

[Nutter 15,155]

parts of this update have already been released, it's been in the works on-and-off  for roughly 2 weeks now.

Miscellaneous

Condensed some server files to optimize server load times

A final result of 13-16% compression has been achieved, meaning players who take 3 minutes to load should theoretically now be loaded in 2 and a half minutes

note to self: check to verify gonk ammo droid works

 

Server Tickrate

Value has been raised from 11 to 22, this is done due to our as of late lower population, and will aid in hit detection and client performance overall!

 

Jetpack SWEP

All airborne classes have had their Jetpack swep replaced with a prior version that features better/predictable handling.

 

 

Automated Events

Re-implemented along with some newly curated events, thank you @Remake and Mark with your ugly forum name (not getting a tag)

This time around I had decided to take a slightly different approach to automated events. These will feature shorter intervals (now 15-25 minutes as opposed to 1 hour) and will be significantly shorter. Occasionally you will still come by a larger event, but for the most part, they have shrunk down in size in favor of greater frequency as to allow players to do something different at all hours of the day.

 

Patrol Route - Campsite

Vultures will float above campsite, along with droids who will engage with nearby players

Upon securing the area, players will be rewarded with a large supply drop

 

 

 

Siege - North Eastern Tower

This is more of a grind-based IC/OOC mix type events

Players will be able to fight with droids along the northeastern side of the map, droids are significantly weakened during this event, and its primary purpose is to allow some competitive play while reaching a new high score

 

 

 

Confiscation - Campsite

A smaller number of hostile NPCs will be spawned around campsite, with higher HP amounts

There is spice to be confiscated in the area (simply by pressing E) in order to successfully win the event

(I have added a blue outline to spice in order to make the process much easier visibility-wise)

 

TODO: ADD A LEADERBOARD OF MOST DRUGS CONFISCATED

 

 

Medical Duty

Corrected model for 327th Base Battalion (previously a non-existent model)

Added dedicated model to 104th Dire Company's Medical Duty

Corrected model for 104th Base Battalion (previously a non-existent model)

 

Drop Pods

Disabled physgunning drop pods to alleviate issue with GMs breaking drop pods and causing unpredictable behaviors/T-posing.

If you'd like more droids, make the dispensers significantly lower in HP and wait until they are destroyed

 

NPC

Added optimization patch for when NPCs are spawned due to an event, but are not being utilized (IE: tracking or shooting down a player)

Additionally, optimized FPS significantly when engaging in combat with NPCs

Hopefully automated events will not interupt gameplay by bogging down performance moving forward!

 

Quiz

Corrected issue where new players could not utilize the command /quiz

 

 

Arresting System

Fully repaired with new jail positions set

 

Bans Page

An official ban page has been parked at https://garnetgaming.net/starwarsrp/bans

I'm genuinely unsure as to why it wasn't there in the first place, but there we go.

edit:
 

@Luxembourg reminded me to fix /explode for seniorgamemaster. That' done uwu
