    make kissing preserve model

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    It was originally like that. Sometime in 2018 it was changed to the hobo model. It was something about improving server performance if I remember correctly. The explanation was that having custom model ragdolls spawn each time the kiss swep was used was resource consuming and having it be one model across the board was the best thing for server performance.

    Terrry is a war criminal. One time, I hit him in the back with my bludgeon reskin, but his perk saved him. I pressed F1 to surrender after he turned around and he still killed me. Literal war crime (killing surrendering enemy soldiers). Send him to the Hague for trial.

    How to beat the Weapon Checker as a CC

    in Discussion

    Posted

    Tired of being stealth Weapon Checked, cuffed, and jailed when you're on your CC? Follow my tips and you'll never have to worry about Weapon Checks again.

     

    - Tip 1: Buy a gun license. They're part of the PD Panel now. They only cost $2500. That'll eliminate the weapons portion (grenades, firearms, melee weapons) and you'll pass that check. This is the biggest reason you fail the Weapon Check. I was shocked by the number of ppl without a gun license.

     

    - Tip 2: Swap all raiding tools off your CC. Sorry ppl. Those pop up on the Weapon Checker. No lockpicks (or their reskins). No keypad crackers. No breaching charges.

     

    - Tip 3: "So wtf can I have on my CC that won't fail a Weapons Check?" I've got you covered. Custom thrower sweps (plushies, angry hobo swep), Medkits (and their reskins), Master Sword (and their reskin), every firearm (as long as you have a gun license).

     

    What about kidnap sweps? I'm only 50% sure that gun licenses cover them. When I get a chance, I'll check and post an update.

    Damn. Another old time player gone. I'll do my best with theDD, but it'll likely go whenever I go. It was nice seeing you again Kamala. If TitsRP does become unfucked, is there a path for you to return?

    How long will it take before the powers that be try to say rubik is corrupt and push for his demotion and permaban? (it is probably already happening)

    That would be "entertaining" to see. Who's Sugar gonna trust more? The dev who's been with TitsRP since the beginning or some "joined 2021" admin? >:3

    Permanently migrate to the forums from Discord

    if we ban u from the discord or the game server, at least its just about gmod, we dont come and fuck up how you do shit outside of titsrp. 

    It sucks that even you, a TitsRP admin and long time player can't do anything about that attack. Why? Because Discord is a third party. This is outside of TitsRP's control. But if everything was centralized through the forums, a false report attack is impossible.

     

    Also, Reiko, don't go. We love you here 💔

    Permanently migrate to the forums from Discord

    Apparently some cuck has been going around the TitsRP Discord and falsely reporting users for being underage. Because of the way Discord operates (ban first approach), some people have been affected by this.

     

     

    It's over. The TitsRP Discord has ran its course. It's likely for the best. What started as a great tool for the community has devolved into a cesspool of drama and toxicity.

     

     

    My solution (as the title suggests) is to permanently migrate over to the forums. What does Discord offer that isn't already on the forums? Instantly send banter? Shoutbox. Fancy roles? Forums can do that. DMs? Forums has that. Staff communication? Privileges can be granted/ revoked on the forums. 

     

     

    The most important reason is direct control. Instead of being subject to a third-party's TOS, @Rubikand @KDawg would have direct control with their own TOS. Some random cuck false reporting people wouldn't work.

     

     

    At least think about it.

    PD Competency Tests - What's the final verdict?

    in Discussion

    Posted

    What's the final, concrete stance on competency tests?

     

    The written rule says, no, they're not allowed.

     

    Some smods say (and enforce) that as long as the questions are related to pd, that it's ok.

     

    One Super Admin just refers to the written rule.

     

    Others say that since Coconut is now gone that his rule change was rushed (from their pov) that it's sort of out the window.

     

    Either they're gone or they're not gone. The pancake flipping is clearly causing some confusion.

    Noo @Makoto!!! The Badmin(s) clearly have a shadow court and are plotting the downfall of each person per sit!!! they are totally corrupt!!! (THIS IS SATIRE)

    How do you know that they're not in some private Discord server plotting shit right now? After all @wolf2297, you've been very vocal lately. Almost too vocal. A comm removal might be your future. Don't slip up.

    Me reading this thread:

    So the 2 main discussion points in this post are raiding/basing and badmins.

     

     

    For the raiding/basing thing, there's at least 15 pages worth of threads over the years. Circular conversation at this point.

     

     

    The badmin thing is a bit more interesting. In my years playing gmod (on various servers), I've seen alboth sides of "that one hated admin".  The one thing that was in common was that the people who thought they were targetted by "that one hated admin" were never in their thoughts like that at all. That's right. Ninety-nine percent of the time, "that one hated admin" isn't thinking about you at all. As a man who loves a good conspiracy theory, it pains me  greatly to say it, but the current "that one hated admin" likely isn't some boogeyman shadow emperor pulling strings and treating the server like a chess board. I could be wrong, but cmon, let's be real for a moment.

     

     

    All that being said, on the flip side, "that one hated admin" is clearly hated by certain vocal elements of the community for whatever reason(s). While "that one hated admin" doesn't think much about their haters, their haters think a lot about them. Those haters are very much waiting very patiently for "that one hated admin" to slip up. God help "that one hated admin" when the slip up does inevitably happen. I've seen it play out multiple times on multiple servers (including here). It'll be a very fun time on the forums that's for sure (unless the drama plays out on Discord 🤮).

    thats fair but, the summer is such a short portion of the year. when looking at a server, you judge based on the 8-9 months of the year. Population really does spike during the summer bc that's when EVERYBODY is free, but most of those players are skippers and only show up once or twice

     

    I agree to a certain extent. However, the server history has to be taken into account when looking at that data. Simply put, during the 8-9 months of the (school) year, this server has always averaged 55-80 something players. The only thing that has changed over the years is the number of server slots. Back in 2017 (when I first joined), it was 75 slots. As I type this, the current server population is 65. 65/75 doesnt look too bad. Sometime in early 2018, the number of server slots was increased to 90. 65/90 doesn't look too bad and the population goes up to the mid-upper 80s as it gets closer to midnight. Sometime in 2020, the number of server slots increased to 128 (as KDawg always wanted). 65/128 looks horrible and is subject to threads like this. Thank God summer is always around to pump those numbers up. Covid messed things up a bit, but now it's more or less back to normal.

     

     

    I invite you to look at the following gametracker link and navigate over to the "Historical Data" chart and click 30 days:

     

    https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/193.243.190.39:27015/

     

    I then want you to imagine how that chart would look if the number of slots on the server was 90 as opposed to 128.

     

     

    Ah shit, you got me pushing my old narrative again. This is why I want to wait until the summer (preferably mid July).

     

    It's great to see that a (seemingly) newer player cares so much. That bodes well for the server's future.

    plus im not the only one whos started bringing this up, pipe down lil bro^^

    Take a quick look at this post from last year. Literally the same situation (server was averaging 55-85 or so)

     

    Do you want to know how that ended? The server went back to averaging 100+ within 1 month and I looked like a clown. I'll continue to reserve my judgement until next summer since the server population always picks up during summer months (as it always has).

    its also a friday night. school would have no impact on current player count

    This claim makes a lot of assumptions. All I will say is that school does have a major impact on player count. What do think the main demographic that plays TitsRP is? I'll leave it at that and see what happens next summer.

    Dude.... your warn appeal got denied and you decide to post a "server is shit" thread.

     

    Anyway, it's too early for this type of conversation. Historically (aka pre-Covid), TitsRP was a summer server. Summer months, the place would always be packed then once the (American) school year started, the player count would dip. If it's mid-July 2024 and the numbers are still like this, then it's time to really take a hard look. Until then, just take the L on your warn appeal.

    If you are saying its cyclical then the cycle lasts literally forever as consistent basing has been down for more than 2 years now.

    I wasn't talking about basing in the first part of my post. I said active school year = lower player count. That's been true for as long as I've been on TitsRP. Everything else you typed I agree with. I made by post just to say that basing/raiding meta issues do not have a significant impact on player count issues (for the most part)

    Player issues

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    I'll start by addressing the easiest part of this thread to tackle. The player count thing is normally cyclical. In fact, I'm actually surprised that it took this long for the player numbers to get back down to usual school year numbers. As a general rule, the server usually stays at 50-75 players throughout the school year with numbers often spiking during holiday times. There's more I want to say on this subject, but it's a conversation for a different time. If in the middle of July the numbers are still like this, then I'll 100% be back to talk my shit (as @Rubikknows :3).

     

    Moving on to the new track this thread has taken. Basing. Oh boy basing. If you type basing in the search bar, you get 1108 results over 45 pages (dating back to 2015 when the server first started). It's a hot button topic that's been discussed the entire existence of TitsRP. For the purposes of this thread I'll define "basing" as basing with entities to earn rpcash. Just to separate entity basing from kidnap basing.

     

    All that being said, I strongly disagree with the direction this thread is taking. Quite frankly @Terrryand his basing buddies are not responsible for the current decline in the server's population at all. The current basing "meta" (if you can even call it that) is not responsible for the current decline in the server's population. If the basing meta was that significant an issue, this place would have died years ago.

     

    The basing meta cannibalized itself due to years of neglect and those eggs have now come home to roost. Think about the number of "basing is dead" threads or "raiding is dead" threads that have popped up over the past year or so. Despite that, the server was still pulling 100+ a night.

     

    Maybe (just maybe) a lot of players don't find basing fun anymore? I know a lot of people (myself included) that straight up do not base. There's a lot more to do on the server than base. Does the server even revolve around basing? I'm pretty sure that the Mayor and cops are the new main focal point of activity. Hell, you ask the cp mains, they'll tell you that playing cp earns the most money outside of basing.

     

    Most of these basing threads (and the aftermath) follow a loop: The basing meta is broken. -> Players propose changes to the basing meta. -> The proposed changes get largely shut down by the hardcore basers who benefit the most from the current meta. -> Almost nothing changes -> Players stop basing and explore other activities on the server. -> The newer players who actually want to base notice that no one really bases anymore (You are here) -> The basing meta is broken.

     

    The issues with basing have festered for years, but the server population has remained stable. It's not basing, trust me. It's a combination of several factors.. The main factor is just the time of year.

    I used to play like 40+ hours a week on tits, after my ban it's like 5

    Oh shit, this is your forums account Bathroom?! You're one of the best and most creative Mayors to have ever played! RIP your ban from 3-4 months ago. Anyway, your decreased time on the server follows a natural flow tbh. Averaging 40 hrs a week for ~3 years will lead to server fatigue/burnout and I'm surprised you didn't scale your time back sooner. Still visit sometimes and run for Mayor. This place definitely needs Mayors like you.
