COVID-19 Donator Sale
Apr

[IMG][IMG]

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens. :cat:

We're having a donator sale for the first time in a decade, and more!

As Big 'Rona steadily achieves Pinky and the Brain's failed dream of world domination, many of us find ourselves stuck at home, possibly with a dwindling to-do list and a creep of boredom that makes CS:S look fun enough to play.

Some of us are fortunate enough to still have jobs that can be done from our cave dwellings, while others have been laid off, have had their hours cut significantly, or they're being held hostage as "essential" workers.

Whatever boat you're in, a little downtime goes a long way in distracting one from this unique and uncertain time.

So, we're inviting you and everyone else reading this to join us in game - where social distancing alone won't stop the infection (you'll need a P90 too) - for some fun, events, and prizes!

To kick things off, we're throwing a donator sale (our last sale was 10 years ago)! For a limited time only, you can snag 2 months of donator for $6.99, or 3 months of donator for $10. This applies to donator gifts as well.

Over the coming weeks, we plan to host some fun events on Zombie Mod and Customs, where we'll be giving away donator and possibly other prizes. Some of these will be planned, others spontaneous....

New Year, New Fast Download Server
Jan
05
Brian Jan 5, 2019 10 9674
For the past year or so, our fast download server has sometimes been known as more of a slow download server. This is the server that you download all the game materials, models, maps, etc. from, and without one it would be painfully slow to join and download anything.

The old server was fine when only a few players were downloading from it, but it only had a 250 Mbps connection which could easily get saturated if a lot of players were trying to download at once. We decided to address this by moving to a new server with a much faster network - 2000 Mbps.

The info-graphic below shows what this mostly means for players. This will result in faster join times which should help the server population, and quicker downloads on everything (especially when testing new maps).

Do not use third party tools to bunny hop
May

Brian May 22, 2017 8 12178
We're introducing a new rule that applies to all servers:
@Server Admin please read: http://plaguefest.com/threads/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-no-third-party-tools-rule.22085/

The main reason this wasn't a rule before was we knew false positives were possible and could affect innocent players. However, after conducting a few tests and tweaking some plugin and server settings, we're confident we can now accurately detect and enforce this.

CS:S Panic Spice
Sep
24
Brian Sep 24, 2017 14 12086
The original suggestion for this change was buried in the map suggestion thread:
The ZM server will now be treated with a new panic map each week from ZMP's (Zombie Lila Panic 24/7) rotation. ZMP is an old server (now dead) that used to reach 64/64 players regularly, whose maplist was separated from ZM's when it was created and a lot of panic maps were moved from ZM to ZMP. Now we're bringing those maps back.

Every Friday at 3:00 am EDT the ZM server will have a new panic map available to play.

Here's the schedule:

2017-09-22 03:00 EDT - zm_choddapfpanic1 (currently on rotation)
2017-09-29 03:00 EDT - zm_choddasnowpanic_b5
2017-10-06 03:00 EDT - zm_dirty_panic_v3
2017-10-13 03:00 EDT - zm_kruma_panic_004
2017-10-20 03:00 EDT - zm_lila_cheesypanic_v2
2017-10-27 03:00 EDT - zm_lila_panic_beach_2_PF
2017-11-03 03:00 EDT - zm_lilapanicbeach_chodefix3
2017-11-10 03:00 EST - zm_lila_panic_crazy_pf_v5

We've added a new skin and moved some old ones around.

Eli
New skin for Donators+

[IMG]

Super Soldier
Moved from Level 3+ to Level 1+
[IMG]

Dr. Kleiner
Moved from Level 4+ to Level 2+
[IMG]

G-Man
Moved from root only to Level 3+
[IMG]

Dr. Kleiner and G-Man don't include lsa/root jump; they have the same jump height as other donator+ skins.

As always you can view all donator+ skins here: http://plaguefest.com/wiki/skins-available/

Thanks to @Emily for proposing the idea.

Hello everyone,

Good news! After years of discussions and thousands of suggestions it is finally here. RockTheVote plugin has been updated to ignore AFK's (thanks to @Brian for the well-crafted idea). This solves the issue of 154 AFK spectators preventing rtv's from going through. It works as follows:

If you afk in spectate for some time or are moved to spectate for being afk, you will be removed from the voting pool and your vote will be discounted. If you come back you can rtv again.
