TTT

I'm sure to most of you an enjoyable game server is what you'd like to see out of EgN first and foremost
Sadly people who talked to me about building out TTT haven't really gotten anything done so far.

Because it seemed people wanted to build TTT my time has been spent on building a new website, thus the servers haven't gotten anywhere near that amount of attention.
I would have liked to open up a finished server, but I suppose it can't be helped.

A month or so ago I did start building a TTT server, while definitely not finished I've decided to open that server up for you guys to play on.
Right now what is mostly implemented is custom movement, a weapon base with a few weapons to test the weapon setup, replaced the default weapons and 1 map (I don't know what the top TTT maps are), the movement probably needs a lot of bug-fixing, more maps need to be added, more guns need to be added, player models need to be added, etc.

Suggestions/complaints are very welcome, right now people with access to the server are Tricky, Central and me.
Maybe you guys talking to Tricky and Central about the server and what you'd like to see happen will help them get more involved.

I've also extended the opportunity to Octo for access to the server but have not received a response.

Summary of the server:

Implemented, should work:

Custom weapon base + 2 weapons

Implemented, needs bug-fixing:

See your player model
prone
lean
slide

Planned, feedback welcome:

Extra maps
Detective/Traitor only use-ables

These are some things that are planned and don't yet require feedback:

More weapons
Weapon balance
Player Skins/hats/etc
Better UI
Default key-binds

Playing on the server:
Since there is no UI finished or sensible defaults, you will have to use console commands to setup some of the custom movement stuff.

To get prone setup:

"prone_config" in console

Leaning corresponds to the "+alt1" and "+alt2" console commands, suggested setup:

bind q +alt1
bind e +alt2"

Sliding:

Be running and then crouch

Weapon attachments:

Default: "c" or command "+menu_context"

Community Meeting

Event datetime and RSVP: calendar.php?view=event&calEid=626
Location: Our TS3 @ voice.elevatedgaming.net:9987

Meeting rules: clanfaq.php#faq_19

Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend!
We may discuss things that won't get discussed anywhere else, therefor not attending will make it harder for you to involve yourself in these discussions.

As always, we will discuss the last month of EgN and the future of the community.
Feel free to post anything you'd like to see discussed at the meeting in this topic, so that Staff+ can incorporate it into the meeting.

1. Tricky is working on getting TTT ready, with help from Central
2. Discontinued Minecraft for now
3. Completed some parts of a new website.
4. Setup all the EgN services on a new physical server.
5. Moved to our old comfy website again for now.
   
   • Updated forum layout
   • Changed permissions to reflect our change in ranks/groups ("Community Member" now has access equal to old Legend group)
   • Staff are still working on setting everyone's old ranks as achievements

We aim to have a public, working game server by the next meeting.

If you wish to help out with either, TTT (map and gameplay suggestions/LUA scripting/testing) or JB (SourcePython coding) and you have the required skills/knowledge please do let Doldol know!

Please let Staff know if you think your permissions are messed up!

Feel free to remind them as much as you want to too!

I'd like to start doing weekly community updates, where we, the EgN leadership let you know what we've been upto.
Sadly though I'm not feeling too great atm and I've been busy transferring the websites and everything so I'll keep this one short and maybe elaborate later (Apologies for that).

Should we call this State of the Community instead!? 🤨

1. Made a tasking app for Staff+, so it's clear what the outstanding tasks are.
   
   • This included some core stuff we need to get for our eventual new website
2. We're evaluating where our JB project is at right now (not referring to the one currently open to you guys)
3. Worked on a server management service which's core is done, but has no panel for non-dev to interact with (that's still WIP)
4. Moved the old forum to a new server.
5. Internally (among Leadership) discussed splitting Staff ranks and what that would entail.
6. Implemented our new community guidelines [and sadly had to enforce them on a couple of people]
7. We had a meeting where Matt stepped down (gl to you Matt!) and Doldol became Leader! We also vaguely discussed what the future holds for EgN.
8. We've been figuring out which posts if any to move from IPB to Phpbb3 and how to best go about it.
9. Looking for a way to properly do a community Discord [our current one isn't really there, I'd say]
10. *REDACTED*

I've been really busy getting everything situated and oriented, both infrastructure and hr wise. Plus I imagine it's been much the same for other Staff+ to adjust to a new Leader and figuring out how to do stuff, a lot should be cleared up once we've finished moving back to Phpbb3.
