A few updates today will have an impact on performance:
 
Navmesh should load faster client-side when connecting to a server.
 
Optimizations include both animal and deployable culling (player culling has been in place for months)  
basically this means your client isn't trying to render shit unless it is possible for you to see it.
 
Some sound tweaks related to distance- might get more details when the devblog hits to determine
which sound distances have been increased and which have been decreased.
 
Gameplay Changes:
 
Vending machines can be given names, which appear on the livemap/minimap 
Eoka pistol has been buffed Wooh!  Tighter spread makes the eoka possibly worth it on day 1 vanilla servers!
Muzzle break was nerfed. Less accurate, less velocity, less damage
The Heavy armor helmet now reduces vision regardless of settings (exploit of ignore hud option previously allowed free vision)
 
AI Tweaks
 
There is now a cone of sight for animals. This means you can sneak up on them, instead of them having esp hacks. 
Animals have stamina. They slow down and stop to regenerate.
Bears and wolves will be more aggressive.
Deer and boars will be non-aggressive until provoked (for reals this time...I think)
Chicken damage was nerfed. 
 
 
 
 
 
Edited to add the devblog is out! http://playrust.com/devblog-157/   WIPE HYPE!!!!

This thread will be similiar to the other one I just recently made here http://www.joinsg.net/forums/topic/74806-weapons-and-item-suggestions-thread/
 
For this thread I want to see what do you think could make this server better( besides fixing bugs atm :P). @Jodas suggested a overlay similar to how TTT works in gmod currently. Where the detective/traitor shop is automatically bound to a key like "C".  This is how the shop looks when opened on Gmod. I'm not sure if this would be possible in csgo due to sourcepawn, but it would be interesting to see if it could be done.

 
Let me and @bulletford (mainly him) what changes and features you guys would like to see on the server.
 
 
 
 

i'd probably reinstall rust if it was on rustafied or something tbh.
 
no offense to our server, but you end up spending the entire week just building and farming while there's almost no PVP. the thing about servers like rustafied is that there is a large population who roam regularly so you actually find people to shoot outside of bases
 
a huge base isnt gonna go well though lmfao, i'd be able to trust the majority, but i feel like it'd be sabotaged by idiots like tacky, 
 
but then again tacky is a bot who can't aim so as long as we have someone on it'll be fine 

Movie was fucking awesome.
 
 
 
Also, I added the spoiler button to the editor's button bar, so you guys can use it now!
 
Edit: 4000th post!

How do you have positive rep?

Getting boosted from other squeakers.

Rust fake freezes on Asset/Warmup or Map loading if your computer can't load in well, but if you wait it'll load in eventually.

So I was thinking we could schedule more poker tourneys throughout the year just without prizes. Leave prizes for specific points like steam sales and holidays. We pretty much always have a large turnout and this would allow people who haven't played to learn how and be a gathering of members to chill and have a fun competition for bragging rights. Be like a brofest only with cards.

Ok, so this idea will require some plugin work, but seems possible.
 
At any time during the event period, a player can type !atr and being his attempt for the event.
 
Typing !atr sets your race to the first race in the server(Human Alliance) at the beginning of the next round.
 
Every time you get a kill, your race is changed to the next race in the race list, and weapon/item restrictions are applied. This continues on for the duration of the map, with a print to chat upon map finish stating the number of races completed and the current race.
 
Users will screenshot this print to avoid working with databases, and post the screenshots in a thread with an updated daily/hourly etc top 10 list. Top of the list at the end of the event will receive prizes.

So it's pretty much gun game for war3, but what this event rewards is skill, rather than playtime. Each attempt only lasts the duration of one map and the more people on the server means there is more room for advancement per round.
 
So it encourages good qualities in a week long competition while only rewarding those who play more with more attempts.

we shoukd add some new minecraft maps like minecraft city dark and other maps like that because there is only 4 maps
 

I agree, Mystic was my favorite map. I always enjoyed sniping the hell out of people! I don't see how it killed the server pop, but I think maybe it might be because "uhhh it's too dark!!!" when dumb fucks don't know how to use a flashlight.

not even spam so keep on topic if your gonna post here its about maps for gmod 

Rust: Where crowding a bunch of naked 12 year old children in a metal shack is okay

ZERG ZERG ZERG ZERG!!!!
