Adding themes to all maps.

It's

NoCrit
NoSpread
Themes [Like Night, Spring, etc.]

And that's it. Want to keep it as vanilla as possible. Gonna add a few more maps, but it'll take a while because they need to be configured.

I'm the developer of the Build Wars plugin; for whatever reason, Rhododendron linked me to this thread. I suspect it's because the plugin was paid for and he doesn't want to see the money wasted by having to shut down the server. Currently, this community hosts the only USA based server out of a dozen or so v3 clients, and only ~5 of those servers have any degree of ranking to show population. That alone should be bringing in some population, but it seems there's a bit of a barrier. As Rhododendron is my only contact with this community, I'm not familiar with its practices or how the servers are maintained, but as I regularly have people adding me on steam asking when I'll be throwing a server back online with the mod, there appears to be an issue.
 
When I hosted the plugin under my last community, Ominous Gaming, the server was regularly bringing in 12 ~ 16 players for most of the day with it only de-populating in the wee hours of the morning for averages of 3 to 6 hours. Since the mod has engine limitations that put it at a maximum player cap of 20, that traffic was fairly well for a private mod. That player base should have been displaced when I shut the server down in August, and as Xeno Gamers hosts the only other server, they should have migrated over here (and they may have, but have left for whatever reason). Now as for the reason I've spent the time to reply. I really have no interest in starting a community up again, nor do I have the funds to justify hosting a server to get these players to stop pestering me. If the community has thoughts as to why the mod is not preforming well, or perhaps suggestions on how to improve the game play experience, I'd like to hear them. I've recently begun development of the mod again after a several month hiatus, and while I've taken strides to reduce the difficulty of hosting it, the game play elements remain mostly unchanged.

Something a bit more out there.

Wine [box Wine Preferably, because I don't have a developed enough taste for the expensive stuff yet.]
Cranberry + Vodka tastes like Robitussin, but still pretty nice.
Vodka Straight [Maybe in flames, changes the taste a little.]
Jack and Coke.
 
But my all-time favorite is Beer.
Ranked in order, of course.

German Beer
Mexican Beer
American Beer

So going in buddha and sitting around spawn, DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, is spawncamping? I think not. And killing friendlys isnt against the rules. Also, I was waiting in the trees waiting for someone to exit spawn, once they got far enough away from spawn, then I hit them with a gangsta bat, or goomba stomp them, then I sticky jump away. I dont even go on the pokemon server that often, the last time I went on the server was 2 days ago. So, everything you just said just gave me the impression that you are half retarded.

Only way you can access it is through armory.

Not only did you manage to piss off one of the largest map/model makers in TF2, but now you're in even deeper shit, because he has a ton of connections.
 
You have no respect for anybody anymore. I already blacklisted all xG servers.

Congrats. Now we'll never see another ported map from TF2, and you'll be on a lot of people's shitlist. Including mine.

@@Matsi
 
That's like saying the president runs the country, or even Congress, and they're allowed to do anything they absolutely want, with no consequences. It's gotten to the point where people shit-talk silence all the time. We've all grown tired of the same old antics, even after he said he'll stop. We should be thanking him monthly, for letting us play on the servers, having free admin, and allowing us to get away with so much on the servers, but his childish actions are so mundane and endearing, it's become commonplace, and even welcomed to hate silence. I'm not saying we should praise him as our savior, but at least let him have the decency to respect us, if he wants us to respect him.
 
@@Prius
 
How new are you kid?
 
You know nothing of this issue, it's been going on for nearly 3 years, and you come in and defend him like his lawyer? Get out of here, kid. You're completely ignorant of the situation, and feel you want to be on the good side, or suck up to the leader, so you'll have more access to servers or something. Nobody likes a suck-up, especially when the suck up has no clue what's going on around him, and for how long, like Congress.
 
So please, do us all a favor. Sit and spin.

Ok @@Matsi yes he pays the bills, yes technically he can do what he want, but that doesn't mean he should. Instead of working on something that will benefit the community (hub) he decides to work on something that pisses off members of the community. One of those people included serbian. It usually takes a lot to piss serb since he usually gives little to no fucks about what people do. I was also there when Brian tried to talk to silence about the problems in the community and for a little bit it was a normal conversation and he tried to talk but then he just became irritable. Brian tried to talk and Silence ignored him and seemed not to give a fuck when Brian was trying to help. Also those fucking screamers Silence does. I am probably gonna go deaf because of those damn things. He makes bots that follow people and is hotmicing a screamer. I have thrown headsets off because of the noise.
I am getting tired of these childish antics from our leader who is the main representative of xG.

I swear to god if I searched your posts, this same statement would show up 30% of the time.
Yeah I got carried away and messed up. Sorry about that, won't happen again. I guess since I lost my powers for a bit I panicked.
And Matsi, yes I have the right to do it, but doesn't mean I should. It's not helping anyone.

Trade Servers



Often considered to be the pinnacle of the xG, this server could use a few more things. Here I present just a few ideas on how this could be improved.

1. Add spawn protection


This is needed dearly, as too often have I been spawn-camped by some Beggar's Bazooka soldier, or some spawn sniping from the top of the pokemon tower. This could be only 5 seconds, maybe to give a fighting change against those idiots. Which brings me to my next point.


2. Add a simple !rules


The !motd is ugly. It's off-center if you're not playing at 1080p, the scroll wheel is awkward to use, and it causes lag on lower end computers, especially on ones like mine. With the simple one, it's right in game, requires virtually no load time, provides a basic understand, and also allows for further in-depth explanations, but it looks more organized. Maybe even add of of those [i agree] spots when a person enters a server.

3. Add gifts [Possible RTD Replacement]


[TF2] Gift Mod [2.0] - New update! - [7/31/2015] - AlliedModders
This plugin would be fun, as it rewards players for actually killing others, instead of mindlessly spamming rtd in chat. I think it's much more of a risk, and personally would be very fun to use. I've used it before, but had to remove do to creative differences.


4. Add donator functions


Some simple donator functions would be a refreshing take on the servers, and generate some income, for reasonably decent prices. 5$ a month could give you some features, such as Powerplay, higher RTD/Gift chance, Godmode that does no damage to others. It could cost a mere 5 dollars, or 4 keys, a month. The keys could be sold cheaply to SourceOP, and help bring in more players as well.
Saxton Hale / Freak Fortress Server



XenoGamers used to have one of the greatest Freak Fortress / Saxton Hale servers. After a certain update, though, it continually crashed, and was rendered unusable. It was attempted to be brought back one time, but many were on vacation, or had school to attend, or simply lost interest. That, and much of the original content was missing. I have a feeling that right now, this summer, is now a better time than ever to start up a new Freak Fortress Server, but this time with greater and better bosses. Maybe add all the features, except being able to choose your hale, because that ruins the fun.
That point asside, I for one want one. In fact, a few days ago, one was even attempted to be set up, but lack of knowledge in TF2 prevented it from becoming a reality. Being easy to populate, New members, and Community involvement are what Freak Fortress is. That, and it's addicting.
 
Really, really addicting.

Payload


Why is payload sitting there, taking up space? Because, it's broken. The map voting hasn't been working in while. I bet if you could fix that, it would be populated non-stop. Maybe add a few kicks here in there, but attempt to keep it as vanilla as possible. Maybe add a !robot or Model Manager for donators, but the server is entirely made of Payload. It has a ton of custom maps, which bring in new ideas, and are always fun to play. It's almost sad to see it be such as waste.
 
Maybe organize a few nights a week where you actually attempt to populate, not join for 15 minutes, get bored, then leave. That's called minimal effort. I'm talking about playing for a decent 3-4 hours, getting a huge part of community involvement, and watch the players roll in.

Just some ideas.
