What's up Unity,


As some of you know Garry's Mod just recently released a brand new update. And just like always it breaks things on the server... But this update came with some things that we really needed! I'll list the best parts of the update below.

• Fixed player model without physics crashing the game when a ragdoll was created
  
• Fixed a huge exploit with “cvarlist” console command
  
• Added more validation for packets (prevents one of the ddos methods)
  
• Added an experimental cache system for vectors/angles returned by Lua functions to minimize memory allocation/freeing

Full Update Changelog[www.garrysmod.com]


Unfortunately this broke some things on the server (like always). The big one being haste mode and overtime mode. But it also effected the Pointshop and some other small add-ons.

I'll be working throughout the week to patch up those issues so we can get back to playing like normal!

Leave a comment if you have any questions!

Good Morning Unity,

As most of you know we currently use a warning system on our Trouble in Terrorist Town server. This system allows us to track people who violate our rules. And can lead to punishments, and even a ban.

Have you found yourself stuck with warns from 2014? Are you stuck with warns that you feel are completely unfair? If so go ahead and click on this hyper-link and apply to have your warns removed!

Warn Appeals

Also I've made some small adjustments to the server based on your feedback.

• Decreased the Chance of a Storm
  
• Made the nights brighter by adjusting the colour template for midnight and early morning
  
• Decreased the sound of lightning and rain
  
• Changed the Map Cycle

That's all I have for you now guys. Expect a shiny new server update here very soon! And apply for trusted, because the first trusted will be picked this weekend!


Happy Gaming!

Tomorrow morning we will be making the Pointshop swap on our Trouble in Terrorist Town Server! Please go and post a screenshot of your points and skins!

Good Morning Unity,




"Our Chicago location stopped responding to queries from our webserver at approximately 1:28pm CDT. We are currently investigating and have contacted the site to have an on-site engineer physically inspect our router.

Update @ 2:07pm CDT: We are still working to get this resolved ASAP. The local facility's phone system is having a problem that causes it to hang up as soon as we pick up the phone, which has so far delayed this at least another 15 minutes, as they are unable to reach us. We are asking them to try other methods.

Update @ 2:48pm CDT: The facility was finally able to contact us and rebooted the router, which immediately brought back up the location.

We are continuing to investigate, but this initially appears to be an OS-related crash. We will likely need to prep and schedule an OS upgrade in the near future, to occur during an early-morning maintenance window.

Update @ 4:24pm CDT: The router appears to have stopped responding again. We are having the site reboot it, which should be a faster operation this time.

We are not yet ready with a new OS version to try, unfortunately, or we would immediately apply that. We are still working on it and are evaluating other options as we continue to try to determine why this has happened.

Update @ 5:24pm CDT: The router was brought online with a reboot at approximately 4:55pm CDT, after which we rebooted it again with the latest (and untested) kernel. We are continuing to test and monitor.

We have also examined the hardware logs, which say that one of the CPUs in the router had a high temperature. It is not clear whether this happened after the machine stopped responding, or whether it is the reason that it did stop responding. We currently see low temperatures for both CPUs and all fans are working, but to be safe, we have bumped up fan speeds to maximum levels."

Good Morning Unity Gaming,

We've been working on some new things for the community, and finally we're rolling out the long expected Unity Trusted! Also, a final date for the PointShop change will be announced.

• Unity Trusted is a new program that we're rolling out that will allow you to help out our staff team with keeping the server a fun, and safe place for people to have fun. Have you ever applied for staff but was denied because you didn't meet all requirements? Have you ever wanted to help when those nasty RDMers are going crazy but it's late and the mods are offline? Want to help keep the server fun and clean but you're not looking for all of the commitments of full staff? Then Unity Trusted may just be for you! There is an entire sub-forum dedicated to this new program in our Steam forums! Go check it out! Below I'll post the link for the application directions.

Apply for Trusted!

• The time is coming for the swapping of our Pointshop on the server. I don't mean for anyone to panic. But if you would like to be refunded all of your skins and points that you've worked so hard for... Then you need to post a screenshot in our forums! I'll post a link below.
