New Year, New Fast Download Server
Jan

Brian Jan 5, 2019 6 894
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

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.

Greetings, it's been a while. We've been slowly adding some functionality to a Discord server that has ingame chat and admin chat sent to a text channel. As time progresses we can add more and more functionality. Seeing as some people have already replaced Mumble with Discord, here's an invitation link you can use if you'd like to chat.

https://discord.gg/FkYqXRd

See you in there.

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

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.
