Within about 30 minutes of playing JB while undercover I managed to get freeslayed by an SO who decided to ignore me in admin chat after I explained to him that he fucked up, I get accused of going in vents for no reason when the dude literally bhopped a few cells to get into the vent cell, and then I get FK'd by an idiot CT when I was bloodhounding the last T who I explicitly said was camping in the one way box in Clouds. A wise SO once said, "How do you guys even have fun on jb".
 
You don't.

Thanks to ctark and myself, customizable sprays are now available on ZE, JB, MG, Surf and War3!
 
CSGO uses .vtf files for sprays. VTF files are basically TGA files, but different enough that they aren't interchangeable.
 
All sprays must have width and height that are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512. They don't have to be square, but most sprays tend to be. They must also be less than 100kB. DXT1 will have a smaller file size and be lower quality, DXT5 will have a larger file size and be higher quality. If your spray has curves or transparency, I recommend DXT5. DXT3 is in between, supporting transparency but without interpolation.
 
The easiest way to make a VTF is to upload your image to TFSprays (http://tfsprays.com/Create/Static) and use the VTF it gives you. Make sure the vtf it produces is under 100kB! Don't put an animated gif in as we don't (yet) support animated custom sprays, so you'll just end up with the first frame of your gif.
 
I highly recommend you use TFSprays, but if you really want to create the vtf yourself, here are four other ways to make a VTF:

Once you are happy with your image and have saved it as a vtf, and have linked your STEAMID to your forum account, go here, upload your file and click submit. Bingo, your spray will be on ZE, JB, MG, Surf and War3 when the map changes. Select it by choosing My Custom Spray, which should now be the first choice in the /sprays list.

(ugh another paidmin) 

Basically if you're on a class that spawns with weapons. The weapon spawning overrides whatever guns you picked up last round or the guns you're supposed to have with wishon.
Ex. I'm playing marine and buy an m4a1s and get wishon. I die. Previously, I would spawn the next round with an m4a1s. Now I have a regular m4.
Not sure if this was supposed to happen (this is in the update as:)
WE'RE GONNA MAKE CRUSADER'S WISH NOT SPAWN GUNS IF YOUR RACE SPAWNS WITH GUNS IN THAT SLOT ALREADY - NO MORE GETTING JIPPED OUT OF YOUR HARD EARNED GUNS! But I want my m4a1s without rebuying it every round
 
EDIT: Definitely not a bug then. But I'm definitely getting jipped out of my hard earned guns!
 
This might be an actual bug: If you pick up an m4 weapon as a marine and it has 0/0 bullets, it doesn't get bullets.

So basically the problem with wish and spawning with guns is that we have to pick one. Previously they would both override each other and leave you with nothing.
I never worried about fixing it because I said "as soon as I fix it, people are going to say "waaa i wanted to spawn with THIS gun not THAT gun".
The problem is you are spawning with 2 guns, and we have to decide which. No matter what we decide, someone will complain.
We picked the gun the race spawns with, and that's how it's gonna be.

People troll on threads all the time. It's just because it was those two and it was your thread that there was punishment. This thread is being derailed too.

That category is for severe flaming OR flaming staff. Do it here, do it in ffa, do it in talk mad shit, but not a thread where it isn't anything remotely useful to the topic. 

Staff censorship is real, Howwie and Renegade have tried to warn us for years.

AND THE BEST PART IS? ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY LIVE!

LOL RIP

The warden told all the T's to freeze in the eastern side of the river on dojo, which puts them in the part of the river that's in deathrun. Afterwards he said they would be playing deathrun when he typed go and told the CTs to not press the first button (meaning the button that kills everyone in the river). Leeroy said something along the lines of "lol the first button is the door button fuck you warden" and pressed the button that killed all the Ts before the warden even typed go. 

I don't know about GMOD TTT, but CSGO TTT is a week ban, not a perma, and there are logs that can be referred back to.  Hackers don't generate logs unless KAC catches them.  Even staff permabans are in danger of being reversed if the hacker actually comes back and asks for proof.  As clique-y as some SO's can be, it wouldn't surprise me if one day someone who no one liked suddenly had a bunch of "witnesses" come out and say they saw him hacking.
Allowing SO's to permaban would more than double the number of people who have the power to do it and risk creating a lot more work for people in the CD having to deal with bullshit bans.  Like Yunki said, it also helps protect SO's from their own poor judgment on whether someone is hacking or not.  If an SO fucks up, they would probably get in more "trouble" than a staff member.

Why not add a new game mode that staff can start after a majority vote?
 
I think Mafia would be perfect:
- Multiple roles and abilities
- 3 "factions": innocents (good), mafia (bad), miscellaneous (good or bad)
- Night and day cycle where you perform actions during the night and vote to lynch someone during the day
 
More information about the game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
 
I would enjoy playing this on TTTGO.
 
 

Thorgot in his based ways slaved over sG's very own (superior) weapon skins plugin.
 
It was like 1wk after he released it they announced it was banned.

I think they are trying to fix the automatic paidmin thing first.

Is there any way to stop the website from converting my BBCode to whatever it's supposed to look like? When I try to edit a post with a link like  
I just see the picture and I can't edit the actual img and /img and anything in between.
Basically, how do I go back to the old forums 

So there is this thing called "parsing", which means that, in this case, a string of characters is being analyzed and compared. So while BBCode is still "supported," it isn't done in the conventional way. The entire backend for the editor is HTML now, not BBCode. So while you can still use BBCode, it isn't a BBCode backend. So what is actually happening is: Before a post is made, when the editor reads a BBCode tag, such as [img\], it will parse the contents and translate them into the HTML backend. i.e:
 
 
[img=www.ayylmao.com/aliens.jpg]    
^ That will be parsed and translated into:
 
 
<img src="www.ayylmao.com/aliens.jpg">    
A BBCode backend works the same way, only in every post, those BBCode tags are retained. The only reason you can still use any BBCode now is because people adapt so poorly to change, so the Invision Power guys decided to make a legacy system for those of you who don't want to change.
 
In the current, modern editor, everything is there for you in the form of the buttons. If you want to see or change the text or URL in a link, just click on the link in your post and click the Hyperlink button. That was already a function since before 2005, only using a BBCode backend, but since you don't actually use the tags manually now I can see how you might have overlooked it.
 
Either way, this is how it is now. It's much more efficient, and not ancient

what SO is actually like

This has been pointed out by a few people in shoutbox and ingame, but I don't see a thread about it. The Custom Sprays category in store is empty.
 
@ctark

Has to do with the new store plugin, all the custom stuff has to be rewritten.
It's on the todo list, but getting automatic admin is more of a priority.
 
I am going to be looking at making custom sprays its own standalone plugin, rather than having it go through the store.  Not sure if that will happen, but would be really cool if it did, and provide much greater flexibility to what we can do with it.
 
Thanks for the report!

Your 14,567 deaths says otherwise, big newb!
