I did really doubt Sylux's ability to moderate the servers about a few months ago, but I don't know what happened. He appears to have majorly improved, he seems really civilized/chill on the forums, makes maps that we can use and is always super nice when I see him. I think he deserves a try, he inarguably has spent a lot of time on the servers and really seems like a decent person. +1

not something you can make a larger server out of, you can invite friends to play with you instead. Games are only 4-player maximum if i'm correct.

Quite frankly, the talk in this thread between @virr and @Vertex should be taken to a thread in the GMOD Discussion, and it shouldn't be gigantic posts about download time and what is more optimizing/better. The debating that should be happening is about TTT and when/why it is/isn't coming. IMO if there were fundamental issues with the server setup causing this big of a delay, it isn't hard to wipe and start over and do it "right" from the start. including the facts Virr already mentioned, as well as my post in the thread he originally linked. TTT is a standard part of GMOD nowadays, The maps are tiny for your guys' download speed debate, and while the statistics claim an average of like 6-15 mbits in the US that accounts for all users with active internet plans/subscriptions like old ladies who live with a hospice nurse. whereas the average player of an internet based pc game is going to be on the higher end of that/much above average.

You wouldn't be elegible to apply if you withheld it, just going to put that out there.

RIP Gaming Rotation.

@Tatost I was using another one that I usually use to find the steam profiles but it didnt show up lmao

I'm gonna guess your age is a mistake you have made, please tell us your actual age so that I may change it.

Thanks Bello, means a lot :D

from what i have heard kypari's internet is fucked so they cannot make dates at this moment

Ok :-) Active, knows the rules, fair and an overall great person!!! Wow he changed lmao :-))))

Yikes! Starting today, in some cases, we accidentally messed up some rules. We’re working on a fix! Update: Fixed! >"Rules" { "1" { "name" "Spawn Camping is allowed." "description" "However, spawncamping on teleport spawns is prohibited" } "2" { "name" "No Immature Voices" "description" "This does not necessarily mean high-pitched or underage voices on mic." }

yeah frick you tatost this is fine

yes please please make it happen oh yeah that too add that back

i'm going to suggest something before this derails to a gmod debate flamewar thread what about super smash bros brawlhalla? we only had one event of it probably make that a division?

It is done

Disclaimer: its 10am and i haven't had much, if any sleep. Everything in here might be wrong and I just spent over an hour typing this up for no reason. Oh well. Gmod has only had two bigger updates since you made this post, none of which seem to switch things around too much to the point of a server completely breaking (unless there's been something i missed, i skimmed through the update thread and there didn't seem to be any issues). I'm also not sure how much custom content had been made for the old one, but a vanilla version of TTT is included when you install gmod, and setting it up isn't exactly rocket science, and neither is troubleshooting a server. If you manage to set up the old one in 45 minutes, surely fixing it can't take more than 5 months? I know school and free time is a major factor that plays into how much time you are able to dedicate to the clan, but that's the case for the vast majority of higher ups and most of us still manage to stay active despite all of that and if that's not possible you should consider getting more higher ups for your respective divisions or step down entirely. It's clearly not if download times are upwards of 5+ minutes for someone with a 1+MBps internet connection. If you are forcing people to download content that isn't used, of course download times are going to be slow. What are the benefits of bundling the maps together in packs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are still compressed when they are uploaded to the workshop, and only using 33% (assuming that all maps are the same size and that every pack has 3 maps(I'm aware that this isn't the case, I'm just gonna roll with it as an example)) of what you downloaded seems like a waste and while it is convenient that you now have 2 more maps for whenever the server changes to them, the trade off is going to be longer download times with the risk of the server not going to one of the maps you downloaded, forcing you to download another 50~ MB of data. In an ideal world, the user would only download the map when it is needed by the server. By bundling the maps into packs, not only are you making it longer for people to download stuff, but you are also taking up unnecessary hard drive space for the user. The bundling of stuff in "packs" makes sense when you are dealing with content that are static and never changes (morbus game mode, models, hub, etc) but not when it comes to maps that are constantly changing. I'm not sure if I'm following the math here. I added all the workshop content on your steam profile and came to 465.1 MB. I'm using 6Mbps or 0,75MBps as the users download speed (lets be honest, this is an insanely slow download speed, and the percentage of users with this speed is probably so small its probably not worth accommodating for) since you mentioned earlier in the thread. [spoiler=Math] 28.624 + 44.100 + 25.362 + 40.366 + 32.981 + 0.177 + 11.348 + 61.409 + 55.682 + 56.482 + 54.151 + 54.424 = 465.106 ~ 465.1 465.1 / 0,75 = 620,13333... ~ 620,1 //Download time in seconds 620,1 / 60 = 10.335 = 10m20s //DL time in mins/secs Lets grab all the necessary content + 1 map pack. I picked the biggest one @ 61.4MB. [spoiler=Math] 28.624 + 44.100 + 25.362 + 40.366 + 32.981 + 0.177 + 11.348 + 61.409 = 244.367 ~ 244.4 244.4 / 0.75 = 325.8666.... ~ 325.9 //Download time in seconds 325.9 / 60 = 5.431666... = 5m26s //DL time in mins/secs Now, lets use a version of breach that i found on the workshop (breach is one of the 2 maps included in the map pack i used). Its size is 33MB. [spoiler=Math] 28.624 + 44.100 + 25.362 + 40.366 + 32.981 + 0.177 + 11.348 + 33 = 215.958 ~ 216 216 / 0.75 = 288 //Download time in seconds 288 / 60 = 4.8 = 4m 48s //DL time in mins/secs So by not bundling the maps together in packs we have now saved 38 seconds on download times. By "no server content" do you mean a completely empty server? Why does it take 3m 30s to load in to a completely empty server? And in what way does other players suffer from slow loaders? As I've stated earlier in my post, i want to download the maps when they need to be downloaded, not because they are included in a pack with 2 other maps that i might never play, which are then never going to be used and just take up unnecessary space on my hard drive. Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but i do think you deserve criticism based on what others are saying and our own observations on how your divisions are run. The way you keep everything as separate as possible to our forums, with literally 0 interaction with the rest of us, leaves us to guessing about whats going on over in GMOD and ND. With the (somewhat) recent incident about a ban protest and some drama over a certain server crash exploit a while back i do think a lot of the criticism you get is deserved.

I'm down for a new TGH map. (Bring back edventures)

+1 Because [xG:M] Sylux would look cool.
