Hey guys and girls, this is pretty impulsive, but a quick update about me and the community.

My life has been really busy as of late and is hopefully shaping up to be even busier.
Online I've been hanging out with some Europeans super far removed from this community.

I've seen some questions around and I wanted to clear some of those up.

I realise the servers are pretty dead and non functional, I don't think there is significant, permanent interest in playing on them so they aren't worth my time to fix (but if anyone can submit me a working server I'll adapt and run it for the hell of it).

This website is still running because it's no biggie to host it and it gives those who care a place to hang out (I'm not all bad :3)

I'm not interested in selling (a part/files related to etc) of this community.

There are really no updates planned for the community

I'm not interested in handing over the community, mainly out of user privacy concern tbh. And to in essence preserve it's ehm, rich history. But if you guys want to start something yourself you're free to politely mention it once in a dedicated thread, don't spam. (But Egn/Leadership/I/etc don't officially support any one.)

I don't control the domain, Matt does, and I'm not sure how long it is valid for, I can't tell you with certainty what will happen to the domain afterward.

Have a good time perusing the community :3

New Servers:

CSGO MG - steam://connect/142.4.213.143:27115

Removed Servers:

TS3 - Retiring it in favour of Discord [https://discord.gg/wFmRY4S]

I'll be getting rid of the server EgN is hosted on this month in favour of a slightly better one.

I wrote an automated script but I've never migrated both the deployment and the deployment infrastructure at once as is the case here, which is a little tricky.

So best case is a couple hours downtime, worst case is total restore from backups, so eh maybe a few days?

What do you want to see on it?

Links to maps and mods would be greatly appreciated!

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"
