Not an admin anymore, most the admins left because Vertex is crazy and you dipshits ignore all the complaints about him.

You know I miss the GMOD division. Its how I joined this clan. @Charrax 's TTT server was fun, its where I made my friends and it convinced me to join the community. Back then the GMOD division felt like it was part of the community. Nowadays it feels segregated from the community and where I see the fault is in the division leader @Vertex . Its a pattern we have seen over and over with the way he runs his divisions. He makes no interaction with the community, no communication, promotes whoever he wants even if they are not a member of the community. I really don't know how this has been put up with for so long. We should not have a division that feels like its a severed arm. Thats not the fault of the community, that is a fault of you. As a DL you are supposed to be leading this division as part of the community but I've seen to many things where you have separated your division from the rest. I feel you need to start treating this division as part of the community because I truly miss the days where we had a truly good GMOD div.

Ill tag you all in the conversation, easier than moving it to a thread. @Vector @Aegean @Nomulous @Bleed

@NekoBaron I liked the cosmetic/atmospheric changes to the map personally. However, there were a few hallways covered in purple textures and I believe the random Brood screams should be removed as well, because humans hearing the Brood screams will either try to track down that Brood OR stay away from the area they heard the screams. The way players move around the map, react, and ultimately play shouldn't be dictated by false sounds in a map, but actual sounds the opposing team makes.

I believe I actually have a copy of this map in my Gmod files, I remember testing this map when demonkush was testing stuff in it.
 
The main problem with the map was that there would be this Brood Alien scream (the one used when a brood goes from human form to alien form) which negatively interferes with game play (if im a human, I imagine that theres a brood turning a few rooms away. )
 
the only other gripe I have with this map is that compared to the version of chemlabs we have now, its not rlly atmospheric. This version is more lighter, looks like its "clean" rather than looking like its "dirty".
 
I'll try to look at both old chem labs and this new map and give thoughts.

We don't have a JB Gmod server and you didn't come up on the Morbus GameTracker. Do you play on our Morbus servers?

you were banned by @Makr6e6 for 1 year for "Mass RDM with buddy, spiting warnings" on April 30th 2016. Based on this Ban Reason, it seems like you and a friend were consistently breaking rules even though you were warned to stop, and then decided to Mass RDM. If Makr could comment on the situation that would be good.

I've seen people rtv horzion bc it sucks. and it does.
 
Sometimes a cigar is a cigar.

@DoctorGringo
Lets say you have selected a medkit, then select a weapon with mouse wheel. if you press your keybind for previous weapon, I think what happens is you switch from your weapon to the medkit and if you press the keybind again, it will not go back to your weapon. (i might be remembering wrongly, and its vice versa)
 
basically, q is my button for selecting to the last selected weapon, if i have a rifle out and then use mouse wheel to get to smg, q will let me switch between the 2. but that interaction doesnt work with the utility slot.
 
The Screen blur overlay annoys me personally, I think it would be better if it was removed, I'd think that people would acknowledge when they are being hit and look at the hp bar. I know how to remove it, so I guess ask me on how to remove it, its simple. If there has to be something telling you that you are low hp, I think it would be good to have the HP bar change colors, or have the overlay be a f3 option. But that requires programing.
 
I think that screech should become a right click ability which sends out a "shock wave' or screech at a location/mb even through walls and it disrupts human aim. I guess if it was to be made to be counterable, it spreads the aim disruption between humans depending on the number of targets it hits. I guess that would also lead to some skill being involved with it, where if you wanted to fuck over someone with a group, you'd use the screech so the edge of the aoe/cone/ability just hits one human instead of the whole group.
 
but I'm pretty sure that requires a decent amount of programming, so I think Remscar would have to do it.
 
I think a Blue particle effect would be great for the nades, Blue isnt a color you see often in morbus.

Me and Shadow are willing to help advertise and stuff

@Hamsterman234568 Not true at all. I encourage you to actually look here [xG] XenoGamers.com | Morbus [garrysmod] Garry's Mod at our gametracker. Our Morbus server is currently doing great, and even better than all other Morbus servers. On Friday nights and weekends we usually have a full server/ high populated server in the evenings. Even on weekdays we get good population with around 10 to 15 people on simultaneously during the evenings. To say its deserted is false. You should play on it once in a while and see for yourself ;)

I personally have no interest in other game modes other than Morbus right now. People want servers but they're not willing to help populate or moderate when the time comes. This is what killed TTT when we launched it previously, you can't just launch a server and have it sit dead, you need to have people from the clan actively playing on it for it to be successful.

Morbus just isn't working out. 1. The server is always deserted with 1-5 people on weekends and the majority of afternoons. It's kinda a waste to have such a small gamemode have a whole Game Division forum dedicated to it, i'm not saying that you should scrap the Morbus server i'm just saying that it would be nice to have something like TTT, Murder or even mabye even DarkRP. Reply if you Agree :)

@DoctorGringo I've seen a slightly noticeable decrease in server population lately in Chicago. This is why, and it won't be resolved for a few weeks.

 
What this is saying is, a core transit provider for establishing a lag-less connection between the client and server has been removed. Many clients who never had networking issues before, have started to experience them. Other Morbus servers such as techtonic are impacted by this far more than we are. As there's very few good providers for long distances like GTT for good UDP game traffic.

I completely agree with the revival of a server but if you were to revise or start running running a new Gmod server, TTT has the advantage with an endless amount of replay value

DarkRP is a game built on the trolls and children that play it, while both TTT and DarkRP both have huge playerbases, DarkRP would be way harder to moderate because of the way the gamemode is designed. You would need Mods and Admins on constantly and it would be good to invest in some logs for the server. But on the other hand with TTT if you implement a self running ANTI-RDM system there will be less of a need for moderation.

I can say that I have never told you to kill yourself or have called you the N-word. I have however called you out on constantly joining our games, and then leaving. It is irritating when players such as yourself take up slots constantly just to leave, making the rest of the players wait for 5-10 minutes for another player to join. I can recall you doing this 4 times in one game. I can say truthfully when I did call you out I wasn't very kind about it, as the worst thing I probably said to you was along the lines of "gtfo blob" and I am sorry for that and I am sorry if you were offended. I will watch my language in the future. but again, I never told you to kill yourself or called you the N-word.

The issues with players shooting their teammates, swearing, threatening, and greifing isn't specifically an issue with our server but an issue with the Left 4 Dead Community as a whole. I think you are now talking about you're experiences on ALL Left 4 Dead servers, not just XenoGamers, because on XenoGamers Left 4 Dead server, it is impossible to shoot teammates and greifers are added to the banlist constantly by @Stickz. I don't know what you mean when you talk about the Morbus server. I think since this has been resolved you can probably close this @Stickz.

i think that the ban expired @Stickz you can close this

we should do a 4v4 versus event sometime
