  • New clientside "My Settings" tab allows you to disable all items, activate lowend mode or adjust draw distance
  • Weapons can now be bought and equipped via PS2
    • You only receive 1 clip, so you will have to scavenge for ammo like everyone else
    • The old donator F5 weapon menu is gone, as I feel it was unfair to regular users
      • As compensation: Bronze VIPs - 5 credits, Silver VIPs - 10 credits, Gold VIPs - 15 credits

• Online Store (it now has to be epicw.in/store)

  • You can now pay with Stripe or PayPal. Hopefully soon I will be able to accept bitcoin, mobile, giftcards and hundreds of other payment methods. Not guaranteed that will happen though.
  • I will be keeping a small percentage of the transactions to try and recuperate all of the money I've spent, but rest assured the vast majority of the money will go towards TTT and other upcoming servers.
    • 15% of transactions will be retained long-term for emergencies, to prevent this happening again
  • Type !store in chat to view your packages and/or visit the store
  • Top donators are automatic now

  • Winning bets will double your stake
  • Maximum bet is 25,000 points
• New scoreboard
  • Looks pretty rad

    • Your real rank and icon cannot be changed
  • Inappropriate tags will receive a one-time warning, and then a ban if continued
  • Points are now displayed on the scoreboard
    • If you have more than 999,999 points then the scoreboard will look pretty not rad
  • Extensive right click context menu on the scoreboard
    • Admins can easily mute/gag/kick/ban etc very quickly and effortlessly by right clicking a name
• Sidebar
  • Reduced size so it doesn't needlessly take up the entire height of your screen
  • Updated buttons that didn't work
• Other stuff and disclaimer
  • Definitely stuff I've forgotten, but have fun exploring it
  • @Reaver helped me test everything, and we didn't see any immediate problems
    • But there will be bugs and balance issues so don't be shy to post about them!

 

TTT is now back up, there are a couple of changes

• Added 'Radio Jammer' traitor weapon and related Detective immunity item
• Added 'Foot Vision' item and related immunity 'Sheep Wool Shoes' item for Traitors + Detectives
• Donator Hats tab is now Clan Member hats for now
• Player models tab is hidden for now

Will look into other servers and stuff over the next couple of days. Admin applications will be opening soon too.

As always, let me know if there any problems

 

Big TTT update now live! (Deathrun server coming soon)

• Created new golden icons for all custom content to distinguish from stock items
• Volume is now correctly reduced on epicw.in
• Added new 'innocent' weapons - AK47, AUG, Dual Elites, Galil, MP5, P228
• Added new traitor weapon - Headcrab Launcher
• Added new detective + traitor weapon - .44 Magnum
• Buffed Turtle Grenade - now spawns 12 turtles instead of 6
• Added hitmarkers and damage info
• Remastered all end round sounds for far improved normalization, clipping, fading and file names
• Updated rules + map blocks on the MOTD
• Updated to ttt_67thway_v4
• Added ttt_nuclear_power_b2 (amazing map)
• Some groups get coloured chat tags before their username
• Added damagelog menu, F8 or damagelog in console
• Added PointShop
  • You gain 10 points every 2½ minutes, for 240 points every hour
  • Everyone can purchase Hats + Masks, Glasses + Accessories, Gamemode perks (i.e. traitor next round)
  • No trails, no unbalanced powerups, player models restricted
  • Seasonal items possible - Easter Bunny Ears available now until April 1st
• Few karma changes
  • Maximum karma is now 2000, minimum remains at 500
  • Once your karma reaches 500, you are banned for 4 days
  • These bans will not be shortened
• Majorly updated scoreboard to be much nicer
  • We now have 5 main groups
    • Owner (Pink)
    • Admin (Blue
    • Donator (Green)
    • Clan Member (Yellow)
    • User (White)
    • The donator rank can merge with any other group too
  • I've decided not to use the Super Admin group anymore, I'll evalulate the need for it in the future, but nobody needs commands like 'Jail', 'Noclip', 'Ragdoll' etc. I want us all to move away from our predisposition to abuse admin commands
• In addition, we now have a ULX warning system
  • Admins can !warn <player> <reason>
  • If a player reaches 3 warnings, they are banned for 1 day
  • Your warnings are reduced by 1 for every 2 hours of play
  • This should now be the default punishment option for RDM and other minor offenses
  • Obviously if they come back after a ban and are still rule breaking, a longer ban will be issued

Note: FastDL is currently broken in Garry's Mod. Garry has been aware of the issue for over 3 weeks but has yet to release an update. We have a workaround, but as a result downloads will be slower, and I wasn't able to implement the PointShop to my liking (mostly the Player Models tab).

This update took over 40 hours ;_;
