After two days of the server being shut off and me contemplating if I even want to continue hosting it, here is what I came up with to hopefully bring the server back some life...

The server will be put back online tomorrow at roughly 6PM EST or sooner - still nee to hash out the details with @Proggy

 

 

Complete Playermodel Overhaul

Over the past 2 days, I've primarily dug around for low poly playermodels for the servers in order to lower download times significantly, while also boosting performance.

When it comes to download times on join, our collection was shrunken down from 12GB down to roughly 7.5GB, equating to a 37.5% downsize in server collection size, this will HOPEFULLY equate to nearly half the initial load times into the server.

When it comes to performance, it is largely untested at this point in time, but I am expecting at the least, a 10% improvement in overall performance when around other players.

 

When it comes to the models, I honestly thrift shopped around for CGI models from different authors, all of which used the same base model; leading to the same proportions, as well as tons of customizations.

While i'd love to show off each and every individual model, here are some notable ones which can be HEAVILY customized

Coruscant Guard

100 different options for customization per-model

Post customization to the extent of a spaz who makes your FPS go from a stable 180 to a manically depressed 26

Event Maps

The following maps have been added onto the server's collection in order to hopefully encourage GMs to host more unique events, and provide inspiration

 

Destroyed City

Geonosis V2 (With Venator)

Abafar Base

*NOTE* this map is 1GB in size - will probably need to be set up as a HUB location

Passive Event System

postponed until 12/21/2022 (or slightly sooner)

 

 

 

 

 

HUD

Arrested HUD

Updated to include a description that would otherwise be placed on a textscreen inconveniently

Also, corrected the positioning of our DEFCON states

Permanent Props

While everybody's efforts were greatly appreciated, the last time to build up rp_anaxes 2.5 did a poor job of maintaining a conservative prop count, resulting in 10,000 props to accomplish what could be done in roughly 1,000 by a more experienced Garry's Mod builder. As such, the permanent props database was wiped due to ongoingly causing crashes and issues with addons (IE: the mail delivery system)

 

 

 

 

 

Battalions

The following battalions have been removed from our server due to redundancy, and playing a negative role with our smaller population (little players dispersed between many factions)

327th Star Corps has been removed from the server

21st Nova Crops has been removed from the server

Clan Varada has been removed from the server (other VIP content will be introduced soon enough as a replacement)

Requisition roles have been removed from the server

 

 

 

 

 

Vehicle Requisitions

Y-Wing

The Y-Wing bombadier has been added onto a list of spawnable aircrafts

The UT-AT has been removed from the server due to redundancy and lack of use

Im actually really hoping this makes a big difference, whenever I would try and log onto the server before it would time out. It could totally be my PC since not many other people seemed to have this issue.

It's not even that it would take a bunch of tries, it just wouldn't ever let me in. If this cuts down the download time i will definitely be on there

As someone who was previously pretty high up in 21st before shut down I'm very excited to see what new opportunities this update brings. Thank you Nutter, Proggy, and whomever else worked on this for believing that the server still has a chance.
