Fine by me. Is the title good, and do we have all the right mods?

Nobody else seems to care anymore...?

Wipe it tomorrow maybe? I'll have more time to sit and watch it. For the name, I'd got with:
-Something to get it up the list.
-Oxide
-PvP
-SemiActiveAdmins (We ALL need to be admins, and know how to talk in "god mode", and do whatever needs to be done. I still don't know how to remove building parts, but I've seen admins do it.)
-Airdrops (The more popular servers seem to have these a lot.)

I don't know what else.

The only other thing I'd throw in, and maybe not advertise, is to make C4 rare as hell, particularly during the first week or two. Let folks get their legs under them before they get their houses destroyed.

Could wait to wipe and re-populate on a content patch? (I have no idea when that would be)

I was going to take a break and wait on the next content patch, myself.

We only have this month left Troy...

By the way, on those other servers it amazed me at how many people cheated, and simply didn't give a fuck.

There was one server that would show the kill, the weapon, and the distance. At the darkest part of the night one guy was hitting head shots at 121m!!!! He explained that it took 3 shots. He shouldn't have been able to see him!

I've stood still and let Cake actually aim at me, and he couldn't hit me from a similar distance.

Cake sucks?

I was at a mountain biking camp all weekend. It was a blast.

The Item Editor
Something we’ve wanted to explore for a while is the possibility of an internet-based item editor. We want to get it in a position where anyone on the team can edit items. Then we want to open it up to the public – like TF2 did with hats. Obviously items submitted by the public wouldn’t automatically appear in game. We’ll be looking through them, you’ll be voting on them, we’ll be editing and accepting them and making sure it all works.

That’s our dream anyway. The website side is really easy. It’s getting the items in game that’s a bit more involved and might take a couple of weeks.. because a lot of stuff needs replacing. The good news is that it’s all crap and needs replacing with a better system, and once we’ve laid the foundations we’ll be able to add new items like it’s nothing.

Quick, someone dream up some craftable items and a hierarchy.

Yup, cheating is back and bad again. There is a new hack that lets the cheaters bypass cheatpunch, so a bunch of hackers got their banned accounts back until they fix it. Even active admins are only getting the blatant cheaters. I hate fighting a guy and only after I lose realizing he never even missed a shot.

The next content patch is supposed to implement their new anti cheat, which is already loaded and added last week. Just not turned on yet.

Computer died, but I'm back.

Traditionally they patch on Tuesdays, so lets see if there's a patch tomorrow and go from there.

Some of the servers are interesting with their gimmicks. One I've been checking out "[US CEN] Ruinnation ..." has Factions you can earn your way into, and there are kits for each.

For example, I hit "Survivor", and can spawn a kit for my faction which gives me a full set of cloth armor, a 9mm, some ammo, 2 small health kits, etc.

If anyone wants to check it out, give me a holla! on that server.

Lots of combat constantly going on, but oddly peaceful over by Big Civ.

Oh, and did everyone read about the farming they're working on? They say "Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like".

So yeah, they are indeed going for persistent world. As such, I expect the ability to raid folks so easily will eventually go away.

Doh, Rustify wiped today, was the first server i'd ever seen explosives or crafted c4 on. Only got to use them the one time :(

That server continues to work magic somehow, when I logged in to check the house they were 100/100, and if history continues will be like that for a few days after the wipe. 3-4 active admins helps, I think.

The gimmicky server I was on wiped too.

By the way, they had altered their days so they lasted a lot longer, but night still came.

Today is a snow day, so I've got to think more folks are playing today...

Try wiping and go with:
[US]SemiActiveAdmins/Oxide/Airdrops/Sleepers/PvP/Wiped3-12

Done! Well, Wiped3-13

I'll be gone the next couple of days to a funeral, but I'll be back this weekend.

Steam is currently down. When it's back, I'll get on and do some admin stuff.

Oh, I also put in "structure.touchall" in the setup config, which if it works as I think it should means that whenever the server reboots it will also reset the decay timers. If we get busy enough to have structures hanging around I'll take it back out, but I don't think that will be a problem anytime soon.

Steam is back. Our server doesn't seem to be...

Server is up, BUT I logged in, and spawned without a rock, which sucks.

Antirock must be broken, it's only supposed to do that when you log in with a hatchet on your hotbar.

Removed.

I think I'm going to tinker with the day and night settings. Try to lengthen the days and shorten the nights.

Make the world be the one from Pitch Black where every 30 day cycles, or so, it gets dark for an hour and monsters swarm everything. They even break through doors so you can't just log out because they'll eat you while you sleep. Got to fight to live.

I just posted a message on the forums about the server.

It'd be nice if other folks would jump on for nothing more than to boost the numbers a bit.
