I am not very happy with the current state of the website and server, so I have begun a series of major changes. Seeing as I have all the time in the world now I'm going to be making PlagueFest better. How? For one, I'll be updating our map selection (even more, strictly zm_ maps now though), so please, if you have any suggestions for the server, map suggestions or not, post them here. The same goes for the website, please post suggestions about it too.
Should get a site theme that corresponds with the front portal. IE: Text covering graphics in shit locations.
Well i didn't want to post a new topic about this since its nothing new but.. I just logged off the server now because i've been kicked 7 times because of the DDoS attacks flooding the reliable channels.. I keep receiving this message "Disconnect: Client 6 is an unreliable channel" or some crap like that, I've gotten channels 6,7,8,9,14.. etc flooded.. when will the pain stop!
1 - zm map selection improvement - done. 2 - website / board theme that matches and stands to plaguefest like sinister zombie stuff / blood or w.e something crazy 3 - nopclip needs to be fixed not working anymore. 4 - perma ban system where we dont erase the banlist after a few months cause the same people we banned will keep doing the mistakes over and over maybe beforean unban request and agreement with the community and of course the admins because the last thing we need is more annoying rule breakers around ;D 5 - after a votemap the map changing system wasnt / isnt working properly it would change to a random ass map isntead of the map picked. 6 - maybe change the admin skins and put some pimp zombie hunting etc skins i got a few if you guys agree we could update that and have a fresh pimp look 7 - maybe a new banner for the main page of the server once you logged in plaguefest and maybe analyze some rules and maybe update some. and i think thats about it.. just suggestions you know out there.. i love the server the way it is now but improvements are always great. ^^
Sounds good, so much to comment on tho... One thing I will say, is once banned, you better have a good fucking excuse to get unbanned, even then I'm usually unwilling. The ban list seems to be pretty static tho, hasn't dumped in awhile to my knowledge. I can work on adding some more admin skins, but that would add some major bandwith...
instead of add some more just take the old ones off and put up like 3 or 4 new ones how about that? oO
Ok, let me explain the bandwith a bit more >.> If each skin is modestly said to be 3Mb Then thats 9Mb of skins on the server ( Admin Army, Admin Skull, & Spector) Lets say PF gets 2000 people a month with maybe 300 regulars. (These are just arbitrary numbers) I wont post math here, its pretty basic.
i know exactly what you mean but i meant on the other side also as size wise you know what i mean? well you win and lose idk oO looking pimpin / dont upate the skins.. dont change much but would be cool ^^
Small update: Green -> Server Admin Orange -> Lead Server Admin It makes the posts n all that shit the color to, but Its more "leet" that way... right? lol OK I don't care what you think, its pimp like that.
also another thing i forgot.. we could add some zombie kick ass skins.. i got some crazy crazy zombies skins some ideas for zombie skins: last 2 got it from sauce helmet ^^ kick ass!
thats pretty tight umbrella, I wish I could use skins.... also, how much money would it cost for 2000 people to download a 3mb skin, like actual cost, Im just curious
i have no clue but we have admin skins that are just about that big atm tho.. problem is that updating would require more use on the bandwitch since everybody would need to be dling them etc but they hot ^^ changes always require more work behind it always for the good.. some admin skins: shit like that
