Moose

In an effort to bring back population, store skins have been temporarily removed. This has been discussed, and we are hoping that with fewer downloads that we will be able to bring in more new players when the server is populated. When the server is back to a strong population, we will decide when models should return.

holy shit

i didnt read all the discussion. with that said, im deleting the rule

Hold the toaster, being polite and admitting you're wrong can....*gasp* help?? Who knew!

I do find it weird. But there's lots of possibilities, and no real good explanation. Was he trying to get only Molotov kills from the very start? He says so, I'm not going to call him a liar, but there's no way to verify that 13ish hours. There's also the fact that there has to be a varying degree of inconsistency, regardless of playing the same races, maps, using the same tactics, etc. For example sometimes playing a knife race I'll go 20-2, or something, but the next map go 2-20. There's a lot of factors there, but he also says he got a lot of kills prior, so again it's impossible to tell what he really did if it was off.
 
I will say that the start of the event was a bit rough. Obviously his is atgs first event, and we lost face who previously mainly handled the war3 events. I've never really messed with war3 configs, so there were things that were overlooked that needed turned on (i.e. The issue with the gold bars, and people seeing error boxes instead). This shouldn't have affected tracking, but everything seems to have been working fine around a day into the event. So we can potentially discard any damage done that first day-ish, I'm not sure.
 
I'll also take a second to apologize for not giving a great response last night. I don't like seeing people have issues with our servers, but them then going and telling people that "sg sucks dick..." got me in a not-so-helpful mood last night. My point to just stop playing, was more out of frustration, because we (staff) do all we can to make events, and servers in general enjoyable. Then to see people just rage and not even seem to care that we're volunteering our time to try and make these events and stuff, really turns me away from wanting to help. This is the very thing you're frustrated about... wasting your time, so I hope you can see why it'd also be frustrating for staff. I don't even participate in events - I still play the servers, but I feel like the prizes and everything should go towards the regular community members.

Lel cya later @B o X

Changed some settings about a week ago, people said lag is better, so I guess they can stay...
 
sv_minrate 40000 sv_maxrate 320000 sv_minupdaterate 32 sv_maxupdaterate 64 sv_mincmdrate 32 sv_maxcmdrate 64 net_splitpacket_maxrate 75000 sv_client_cmdrate_difference 10 sv_client_predict 1 sv_client_interpolate 1 sv_client_min_interp_ratio 1 sv_client_max_interp_ratio 2  
Oh also, purged some of the database, here are some stats to ponder:
 
Total Rows on Race_Data table before purge: 8,845,845
Total Rows on Race_Data table after purge:    2,215,157
That is 6,630,688 Rows delete from the database!  (fun fact: it took 16min 26sec to delete that many rows)
 
So you must be thinking 'wtf, those are insane numbers, wtf is ctark talking about here?!?!'
So, the way the database works, when a player connects, they get a separate row for each race that is on the server currently.  If they never play again, they still have about 200 rows in the database!
 
The above wipe affects 57,486 inactive players that haven't played in the last 365 days, and have less then 100 levels.  Anyone who had more than 100 levels wasn't affected, no matter how long ago you last connected.
 
 
So ya, go have fun on your much cleaner database.  As always, let me know how the servers are doing.
- Ctark

FYI:
 
Between now and the end of January, I won't be doing much with regards to the server. I have a lot of RL plans. I'll be around some, but I likely won't spend that time on the server.
From February through late April, I'll be largely unavailable. I won't be home much and I will spend approximately 0 time on the server.
 
After the start of May, if everything plays out the way I hope, I'll have a lot of stuff going on in my life. If that's the case, we will see what happens then.
 
Not to commit him (he really has no obligation to), but I think the intention is that @Moose will be more involved in War3 if he has time. He has full developer access and I gave him a lot of the run down, so he should be GUCCI.

last time I checked you were an MG 1 & I carried you in cache
 
btw I'm 18!

Breeze actually got very mature 101
 
hes not even a squeaky man anymore

"I think i can spice up the game and bring back old players"
 
yeah right, bring back petite caesar, feraligatr and Grandma's Box and we cool @Breeze^.^

Done.
 
Your retarded post in the thread also received an infraction. Although you may have been right, it's not your job to police people.

What do they teach these kids in school these days
 
They must be too busy thinking about Rust to pay attention...
 
@Karma can we follow valves footsteps?
