The Garnut Nutter 15,155 Posted January 31, 2023 The Garnut Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hello Garnetto SWRP players, Please warmly greet @Verax as a new executive member to our community. Verax will initially be working as a contractor for the community - particularly focusing on the ClonewarsRP server, but based on his performance and enjoyment of being part of our community, as well as the results he is able to produce as to help our community operate smoothly, he may hold a permanent executive role. With his successful track record of leading thriving communities, I am personally confident that Verax will play a significant role in the growth and success of our CWRP server which has been at a stale position/decline for the past 6 months. For just 3 hours Verax has been observing the workings of our Clonewars server to identify areas for improvement and provide valuable feedback to streamline the work of our GM team. This update is aimed at easing the GMing system currently present on the server: Lunas Flight School Addon updated to the latest version! *NEW* HMP Droid Gunship *NEW* One more entity to our LFS arsenal to be used during events, particularly for CIS utilization NOTE: this is a large entity, GMs, please beware of where it is spawned *NEW* NU-Class Attack Shuttle *NEW* A predecessor to the Lambda, to be used by the Republic Navy during events This shuttle features a full interior with 15 seats Gamemasters Tool Gun Re-disabled sound functionality from the tool. This was over-written the last GMod update Physgun Glow associated with physguns has been removed from the server. This may take a restart of HL2.exe in order to apply onto clients Loadouts Upon switching to the Gamemaster class, your inventory will be stripped of all but the bare necessities to complete your duties - including donator weapons, and inventory access. This will allow GMs to easily switch between their 3 primary used tools, including a physgun, gravity gun, and tool gun. Godmode Due to the fact that No-Target tooling by itself wasn't enough to prevent NPCs from accidentally shooting you down as a GM completing your duty, I've added "Godmode" functionality to staff members who are noclipping while on "admin duty" This will prevent AI or players alike from shooting you down while you're trying to host events. Hologram Creator Tool Utilize left click or right click while aiming at a player in order to materialize them onto a hologram, utilize right click in order to turn yourself onto a hologram NPC Control Tool a suite of NPC-related tools which may greatly enhance RP NPC Controller - this tools allows you to select an NPC (Left Click), and then make that give NPC follow a path which you determine (Right Click) NPC Follower - works similarly to NPC Controller, however, the target they follow cannot be a chosen location, but rather another player or yourself NPC Health - this tool simply allows you to override the health of a spawn NPC NPC Proficiency - Allows you to set the aim proficiency for a class of NPCs, IE: all Security and B1 droids. This ranges from poor aim, where they will hardly hit a player, to pin-point perfect accuracy. NPC Spawner - the most thorough tools of the above, this tool will allow you to set a pre-defined spawn point from which NPCs will spawn on intervals, with a given list of weapons, as well as pre-defined intervals. This way you may create a steady flow of NPCs without having to continually spawn in NPCs Over time I will refine and re-create all of the above tools to work seamlessly with our own assets Chatbox Optimization A very thorough optimization patch was pushed through to the Chatbox, including the deletion of old messages, and better caching. This was done so that now that we have boosted client performance somewhat, we can take it away by introducing far larger acceptable string lengths to chatbox messages, allowing GMs to input very long and thorough lines of text in events. At this point of time, I do not have the knowledge on how to do so, so I may need to reach out to another developer contact :^) Medical Duty Wardrobes More wardrobes have been added across the map, a few notable locations include all of the outposts present on the map, as well as directly outside of Clone and SOB bunks. This will alleviate the issue of players being unhappy with the wardrobe addition. Additionally, the command /medicalduty has been enabled STRICTLY for off-world events!
