Trouble in Terrorist Town

Unfortunately this issue isn't fixed yet, and I returned from a 28 hour internet fault just last night as the icing on the cake. On Tuesday, the electrician will be opening all of our sockets to hopefully find and fix the earth issue. He had to literally hammer the shit out of our kitchen cabinets because there was a socket hidden behind it, but it sadly wasn't the issue.

I desperately wanted the update to be released on October 1st, but you'll have to wait a few more days. I'm going to forgo some of the smaller things I wanted in the Spooky Update to try and get it out ASAP, but I can do a small patch soon afterwards too.

 

I'm really sorry for how late this update is! I had ridiculous electrical and plumbing problems for the past 2 weeks. They think it is fixed now.

XCOM 2 is releasing in a few hours, so this isn't intended to be a big content update. The server shut down after the January update, but this was when my PC was broken for weeks. February update just came out, so the time is right.

• Spooky Crates & Keys are on clearance
  • 33% off Keys and Point Packages in the store
• Added more c_models to PointShop 2 playermodels

With XCOM 2, Black Desert Online and Danganronpa all coming out this month.. I just wanted to get this out today. Future content (money-dependent) will include trading, airdrops, achievements, melee weapons and new servers.

 

okay, christmas 2016 confirmed

 

我不能工作，因为它是一个公共假日。你是个傻孩子。

 

Bad news. TTT isn't coming back anytime soon. My intention was to release a maintenance update yesterday, to more or less make the server playable if it was ever used again.

I fixed the majority of the addons/scripts/weapons, but they were fairly simple. What are the remaining problems?

• Map voting abandoned by the developer (it was this script causing most of the crashes)
• Taunt module needs complete recoding
• Trivia addon is laughably broken, and needs thousands of new questions
• Custom scoreboard is completely incompatible now
• Many addons removed from the workshop/missing textures, particles etc
• Huge net_graph spikes (lag) constantly
• Chat broken similar to trivia
• PointShop 2 database is apparently corrupt, and immediately crashes the server and client if you try to rebuild it
• A miriad of donation issues because PHP and PayPal

I am tired and frustrated of playing cat and mouse with Garry and other fuckwit developers.

I'm no longer accepting donations. This server is a bottomless money pit, and not worth the time or money of anyone.

I'll be monitoring the status of Garry's Mod and independent developer fixes over the next few months, but I'm not optimistic. Sorry.
