Chatbox

Prefixes

Users of different ranks will carry a pre-fix to their name displaying their rank

This is particularly useful for staff members trying to notify players of incidents or delivering any necessary information

 

 

Emoticons

A list of emoticons can be found over at:

Automated Event System

BIG THANK YOU TO @Proggy FOR HELPING ME TEST THIS.

 

 

Twice hourly players will receive a notification to join a team-based OOC event

 

The current modes include:

Melee (Crowbar)

Melee (Knives)

Sniper (Dragonlore)

Rifle (AK47 CSGO variants)

 

There are two arenas available for the time being

Metal Star Power's 

Used for all rifle-based events

 

Plank [Large]

Used for Melee-based events

 

Features for the future:

Parkour event

Free-For-All events (non-team based)

Pointshop rewards to winners of events

Divider wall allowing players a grace period prior to the event starting

 

 

 

Prop Limit

INCREASED??

With the abysmal amount of attention to optimization put into our server over the last few months, @Proggy brought it to my attention we could increase the prop limit slightly in trade for some FPS. I have finally increased our prop limit the server has had for the last 7 years

The range increased by 5 starting at 40 players

 

Up to 30 players

Remains at 70

 

Up to 55 players

Prop limit 50 > 55

 

Up to 80 players

Prop limit 40 > 45

 

Up to 100 players

Prop limit 35> 40

 

Up to full server

Prop limit 30 > 35

 

 

 

Pointshop

Support has been added for skinned items

I will be adding those over the course of the next few days, but here's a starter!

Neat idea with the prefix, it's nice for new players to know who's staffing on the server and hopefully it'll show a fantastic presence from the team. I'm hyped that the events are back too! We had a great time before and it will certainly boost the activity during low-pop times!         Awesome update!

I hope it does help with low-pop. I can't believe this is the 5th recode the event system has gotten. Hopefully it works this time

Yeah, they do not - they're built into GMod itself, the emoticon is reserved for the near future where I add a collection of custom emotes.

When it comes to silkicons you will unfortunately need to memorize those similarly to memorizing default HL2 voiceline commands.

HUGE update. Thank you!

More coming to this update

This is really cool because it allows me to set non-premium point (free) variants to some more expensive skins.

the variants are dope

NEED PINK CAMO

The server was acting up after adding in the event system (even without an event running) and the night before - so I preemptively removed it to take another look through the code - or better yet, have another developer skim over it as well  I have also decided to temporarily remove Chess to see how the server's performance is - and if it is heavily improved, I will seek out somebody to recreate the chess addon.

I apologize for the let down.

He just didn't want the smoke anymore. JK, hopefully everything gets worked out!

Massive thank you to @Proggy because he ended up figuring out what was causing the issue last night. Added back this update
