I've been working on a major overhaul of the forum and everything connected to it in preparation for a MyBB upgrade. Related to this work, I upgraded the authenticator component on the servers (that's the thing that checks whether you claimed your GUID and decides whether you are allowed to use !commands). Ideally, none of you should have noticed, but if you see anything weird around this please let me know.

I'll probably make another post like this soon, because I also prepared a replacement for the backend side, but that work will take a little longer.

since we get more and more people who use discord for talks and connecting with others, we decided to add a new profile field for you guys to fill out.

The textbox for your Discord Name/Number can be found in your UserCP -> edit profile - additional information - right below the SteamID field.

So for all of you who usually dont edit their profile at all, go check your UserCP and update it :P

since we recently received a lot more donations to the community by various people, we thought about showing a little more appreciation to those who choose to support us financially, as you have probably noticed. In the past most donations would understandably go unnoticed by the majority of the members.

We might change the layout or position of the banner in future, but for now we thought this might be good!

We will now list a few of the main issues we have daily with support tickets and how to fix these.

We highly advise everyone who writes tickets to read this and remember it.

Namechange - if you want to have your name changed please provide us with a link to the namechange thread of your server, so we can see that you have already informed others about your namechange

Setting usergroups - if you want to have someones usergroup set or changed, please provide us with a link to said persons profile so we do not have to search through various application forums, memberlists and more

New members - if someone becomes a new member of a server, please tell us which server it is so we do not have to look up the server of the person writing the ticket

Supremes and HA - if there is an issue that requires writing a ticket, please try to make sure only one ticket is written by one person, and not the same ticket from a supreme and another HA (maybe give fields of tasks to each other in a server so e.g. the recruiters shall write new member tickets, the supremes usergroup changes etc.)

Only 1 issue in a ticket - if you have several things to write a ticket about, please make an individual ticket for each of them so we do not have to keep tickets open which are basically already halfway dealt with

---More to follow in case we encounter more problems---]]>

I finally got around to implementing some DDoS protection that should prevent any lags on the servers. The way it works shouldn't ever ban innocent players, though I obviously cannot guarantee that. Hence if you notice any connection problems or any other sort of network issue it may be due to this program, so please report it here.

More technical:

The program employs a simple technique called Token bucket. It will allow players or other servers (such as Trackbase/Gametracker) an average of 50 packets per second, while allowing bursts much higher for short durations. It only counts getstatus packets, which are those sent by most server browsers or when you click "server info" in the ET menu. If you are not using any of those programs, you will likely have less than 1 packet per second on average. For example, HLSW (the program I use for RCON stuff) tracks all servers that we have and uses less than 10 packets per second.
The kind of DDoS attacks that will lag the servers usually have up to 2000 packets per second, and as such are detected by the program in less than a second. So as I said, it shouldn't ever ban anyone not involved in DDoS attacks.
For those interested, I will probably push the source code to our Github account sometime soon.

If you do happen to notice any problems, please tell me.
Thanks in advance!

after a lot of research and even more waiting we came up with the only acceptable soltion for now concerning the TWC Menu.

As we said before, the current menu most of you will have in their ETmain folder is named something like ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.pk3 (a lot more ~ though). Because the game always takes the highest "worthy" letter to load it, and ~ is more or less the one with the most value, and because we already kinda reached the end of how many letters we can put in a file name, we can not make a new, more worthy version of our menu.

What we can do though is to show you how you can delete your current menu versions, so that the next time you get in the server you will download the new TWC menu.

The easiest way would be to just delete all the pk3-files in your ETs etmain folder except for pak0, pak1, pak2 and mp_bin.

However that would also delete the maps you downloaded, and if you do not want to download them all again you can go search for the menu-pk3s. One definitely is the one with the lots of ~, but there might also be some pk3-files called twc-menu, tcm, and so on. In general everything with menu in it and most files with a lot of ~ tend to be menu-files.

If you are uncertain if the thing you want to delete is a map or not, you can just change the name of the file from pk3 to zip, open it with e.g. winrar, and take a look inside. If you see things like "server_sniper.cfg", "punkbuster_on.cfg", twc_site4.cfg", folders named "scripts" or "ui" you can be pretty certain it is one of our former menus, or the menu of another clan.

After checking you can just rename the zip to pk3 again.

due to some recent events we decided to add and differentiate the "donator" levels (40 and 60 in the ingame levelsystem).

There wont be any changes ingame, as the levels with the commands etc. will stay the same.

On forum however we will have the rosters changed. We now have 2 different ways to obtain donator level.

Either you are a money-donator by paying any amount of money for 3 months -> you get a "$"-symbol in the roster next to your name.

Or you are a honorary-donator (can be suggested to the MSTs by a supreme for outstanding achievements in the clan, on very rare occasions) --> you get a "#"-symbol in the roster next to your name.


The honorary donator level is a way to venerate people who did great things for us, but can for some reason not achieve a higher level (example would be hasty in sniper, he spent more time in this clan than anyone can imagine, he is there as long as i can remember. Due to his great inactivity he can not be an admin, but "just" member level would not serve him right).

This is completely optional for now (this will most likely change once letsencrypt leaves Beta), but I'd like to ask you guys to test it, if you feel like giving it a try or if you care about a very high standard of privacy while browsing (i.e. encryption).

I'm aware of both the TSViewer and the Trackbase server quick-join not working. This is because neither of them is currently accessed via HTTPS, which most browsers will block.

There were a few people sending donations during the last months, so I thought I might just as well set up a page to appreciate those guys who like to contribute financially. I installed some plugin for our forum that is supposed to:
1. make donating easier, by redirecting to paypal
2. show a list of donators

You can find it in the top menu under the "Forum" category. For whatever reasons, I cannot manually add past donations, so if you'd like your donation to show up, simply submit it via the donation page and I'll approve it manually.

Again, thanks for all the donations!

a while ago I was asked to provide a browsable overview of maps (pk3 files) that are used with our servers, like we used to have in the past, because sometimes the game fails to download certain files automatically.

It was disabled for technical reasons, when we moved servers, but I set up a hopefully suitable replacement that will soon be used to serve the files for ingame downloads as well.

For now, it's running as a separate site, so I'd ask you guys to have a look at it and test it. If you happen to find a problem, feel free to post here or send me a pm.

Thanks in advance

As required by Trackbase to re-enable TSP I will have to update all servers sometime tonight. I will try to get the update through, when the servers are empty, or close to.

earlier today I enabled a Piwik tracking code on all pages of this forum, which will basically gather (anonymous) statistics about the users of this forum ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics ).

I did this mainly because it was surprisingly easy to set up and because I love statistics. Furthermore it'll help me make certain decisions concerning the forum (or any other site that we might launch in future), such as which browser(s) to optimize for, or which countries most of our visitors come from.

The (anonymous) data is stored on a server I control, so no data will be leaked anywhere.

For people that are uncomfortable being included in any of this analysis:

• The system will respect DNT headers sent by your browser
  
• You can easily block it with your anti-tracking tool of choice (e.g. Ghostery)
  
• I will set up a separate Opt-Out page soon
  

I will probably post some interesting statistics generated by this system every once in a while.
