Walton and Zetsumei are given OP in a tekkit server. Both are drunk.

It can become a series if we wanted.

Fear not Detective Blowbo.

I, Assistant Detective DanCousins, have already been on the case since this first started and I have found the culprit.



And he would have gotten away with it, had it not been for, Detective Blowbo and his Police Force.

Long live Detective Blowbo!

 

So, yeah, I thought it would be a cool idea to add a server with MGEMod for 1v1 practice purposes. D:
I'm sure it would be more useful than some of the very rarely used servers! c:

Anyway, yeah, suggestion right there.

So we managed to switch over to our new dedicated server which has been named Kiririn by Dark with the transition starting yesterday at about 13PM BST. The move appears to have gone over with relative ease, all the applications that we deem essential have been up since around 5PM BST and full service to all GM servers was returned at around 8PM BST, there are currently a few remaining issues which will be fixed in the coming hours and days.

Anyway, Kiririn has been brilliant so far, we are currently expending a little over 50% of a core on a full server which gives a hypothetical maximum of 16 TF2 servers, barring RAM limits and other applications using computing time (the web server, etc). Everything else is also performing brilliantly, There are no IO problems on map change and other IO heavy events and we appear to have been linked up with a gigabit interface which means that Kiririn is capable of doing transfers at insane speeds like this:



Anyway with this brilliant new server, we'd like to reshuffle our game server layout and some of the features we offer to try and maximise on this potential, there are a bunch of changes we've already done that I will list below and a bunch we plan to do in the future that will also be listed below or posted closer to when we are ready to handle them.
Without further ado, here is what we have currently done:

• Moved everything over to Kiririn apart from the Minecraft server, which will stay in the hands of Rioter until further notice.
• Bought up all the old TF2 servers, TF2 #1 - #8 and TF2 Private War Server.
• Lifted the CPU cap on TF2 servers up to one of the 'Golden FPS' marks, that is 200FPS, roughly triple of what we used to run at.
• Bought up a Killing Floor server, I don't know why though, the game is terrible. >.>
• Bought up the Private L4D2 Server, you may use the details in the L4D forum to force connect to it for a gaming experience.
• Updated the in-game advertisements a bit, the work on this is ongoing and subject to change.

What we will be doing in the future:

• Reshuffling the administrators around a bit again, there'll be an internal thread on this.
• Doing a hard or soft reset of HLStats, again we'll be discussing this in another thread soon enough.
• Resetting and reimplementing the Credits system from scratch.
• Segregating HLStats into different categories. That is our 'silly' servers (Orange/Balloon Race) get their own separate stats system.

Also, as per the namesake of the thread we are also planning to reshuffle some of the servers and are looking for your opinions, here are the current plans.

Server #1 - Balloon Race:

• Will be placed on a rotation with version 1 of Balloon Rac
• Will be moved into the 'silly servers' group for statistics logging.

Server #6 - DoubleCross:

• Will be placed in a rotation with all Valve stock CTF Maps
• Will be Renamed CTF Rotation, or similar.

Server #7 - Orange x3:

• Will be placed into the 'silly servers' group for statistics logging.
• May go into rotation with other orange maps depending on user feedback.

Server #8 - Randomizer:

• Will be locked to Arena only with possible exceptions
• Will fix the silly sitting out bugs
• Discussion Topic: Allow KOTH maps?

Server #2 - Stock Rotation, Server #3 - Dustbowl, Server #4 - Payload Rotation, Server #5 - PropHunt have no changes planned at this time. All changes listed above will go into effect after discussion has taken place.

We will also be adding some extra servers to the mix based on your feedback and our load, more on that in the coming weeks. We'd love for you to help us out and help fill the servers to their capacity so we can see how the system performs under load, invite your friends list to the game and the like!



Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy our new server!

 

You know you can spell any word by using all the rows on your keyboard?

 

I'm trying to formulate a response but all I can think of is why are you still here Dan.

 

I assumed that this was a post about the martial art. I was sorely mistaken.

 

I'm experiencing the same problem.
