Vauff 828 Report Post Posted August 29, 2020 As you may have already noticed, we launched a new nomination system on the server today. The new system works by removing the max nomination limit and allowing maps to be nominated multiple times. This basically creates a mini voting system where the top 6 nominated maps are then taken to the map vote. This also removes the ability to hold nominations hostage, and gives the power of nominations to more people rather than just the quickest 6 people when nominations open. Please let us know if you find any issues or have feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted October 24, 2020 Edited October 24, 2020 by Vauff "unrtv" has been added, behaves pretty much exactly as it sounds and removes your casted RTV vote. There is a 1 minute cooldown between RTV votes to prevent spam. Edited October 24, 2020 by Vauff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted December 18, 2020 Edited December 18, 2020 by Vauff Server is down until further notice because our server host is failing to push the latest CS:GO update. *** Dec 18th 1:04 AM CST Update *** Server is kind of back using a faked version string, it could cause issues so be aware of that. Also expect the server to eventually restart at some point to actually apply the update. *** Dec 18th 2:42 AM CST Update *** Server has now been actually updated.

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted January 21, 2021 2 changes have been made on the server last night: A brand new auto retry solution is now in place that simplifies much of the backend of the system. This should completely eliminate late retries and also the occasional missed retries due to using a more reliable solution. Because many people had turned off the auto retry due to the late retry issue, I went ahead and reset the setting for everyone. If you want to keep it off, type !autoretry again. To support the above change, we are also now back to using GFL's FastDL (with the index being hosted at https://fastdl.gflclan.com/csgo/). Please let us know if any download issues come up from this change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy 833 Report Post Posted January 23, 2021 Hey, leader is going to have a small update: We will be trying out @Ice suggestion to improve the leader functionality: https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/68516-in-game-leader/?do=findComment&comment=325373 The only perk they'll have is that their leader will persist throughout the map if they are in the steam group. More features in the future... maybe... Please check out this group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GFLZombieEscapeLeaders for more information regarding it.

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted January 24, 2021 Hey everyone, we've recently decided that we're going to change our Discord racism rules to be in line with what we enforce in the server. Basically this means: - N word and misspellings/other workarounds will be an insta mute - Other racial slurs will also be disallowed, warn or mute depending on severity/context - Generally mild racial jokes are still fine, but hateful things will be punished for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauff 828 Report Post Posted February 3, 2021 Edited March 2, 2021 by Vauff Hi, we've made a lot of changes to the weapons on the server today with the guidance of @ChicagoBen's suggestions and his help. In general, many of the lesser used weapons on the server have gotten buffs to bring them closer to or on level with main players like the Negev, Bizon and AK-47. Many SMGs and Rifles have seen buffs as a result of this. Weapons previously using antiboost have had their values revisited as well, generally resulting in decent buffs for them (AWP, Deagle etc.) while still having their headshot boosting potential kept in check. All shotguns got buffs, with some slight antiboost properties added on headshots. It's likely we'll visit the idea of doing another general knockback nerf in the future to account for the extra firepower gained by new players who used these weapons, but we'll just be seeing how these changes play out for now The values we're using now are as follows: Damage/Knockback Modifiers: Spoiler Glock - 1.0x USP - 1.0x P2000 - 1.0x P250 - 1.0x Deagle - 0.5x headshots, 1.0x other body parts Revolver - 0.4x headshots, 1.0x other body parts Elite - 0.9x Fiveseven - 1.0x Tec9 - 1.0x CZ75A - 1.0x Nova - 0.17x headshots, 0.55x other body parts XM1014 - 0.35x headshots, 1.0x other body parts sawedoff - 0.17x headshots, 0.55x other body parts mag7 - 0.17x headshots, 0.55x other body parts Mac10 - 1.0x MP5-SD - 1.05x MP9 - 1.0x Bizon - 1.0x MP7 - 1.0x UMP45 - 1.08x P90 - 1.0x Galil AR - 1.15x Famas - 1.18x AK47 - 1.1x m4a1_silencer - 1.12x M4A4 - 1.12x SG556 - 1.15x AUG - 1.2x ssg08 - 0.35x headshots, 1.0x other body parts scar20 - 0.4x headshots, 0.9x other body parts G3SG1 - 0.4x headshots, 0.9x other body parts AWP - 0.32x headshots, 1.0x other body parts M249 - 0.92x Negev - 0.5x Custom Ammo Values: Spoiler Mac10 - 50 MP5-SD - 55 MP9 - 42 MP7 - 55 UMP45 - 50 P90 - 64 Galil AR - 40 Famas - 40 AK47 - 40 m4a1_silencer - 40 M4A4 - 40 SG556 - 35 AUG - 35 February 10th Update: Somewhat helped by the shotgun buffs, a crucial flaw was discovered with the way our plugins work with the shotgun pellet system. These weapons have been disabled until a fix is in place. This has now been fixed. Edited March 2, 2021 by Vauff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauff 828 Report Post Posted March 11, 2021 Edited March 11, 2021 by Vauff Valve mutes have been disabled on the server, as we believe there to be multiple issues with the system. Note that this does not mean you can now encourage mass reporting (whether for real or as a joke), as these reports could likely still lead to a valve mute elsewhere in the game.

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted April 29, 2021 Edited April 29, 2021 by Vauff CS:GO update has broken our stuff, server will be offline until Metamod/possibly SourceMod updates This was fixed with a 2nd CS:GO update + SM gamedata update rather than a Metamod update. Valve had actually broken plugin loading (such as Metamod) entirely in the 1st update. LagCompensation is still being worked on. Hours of pain later, LagCompensation should be back in a working state. Please let us know if any more issues come up.

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted May 1, 2021 The recent CS:GO update has broken the loading of certain custom textures in maps.

Vauff 828 Report Post Posted July 22, 2021 Edited July 22, 2021 by Vauff As some of you may already be aware, back in December we started efforts to move the server to Linux (info about this available at https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/67733-csgo-ze-linux-incoming/). Unfortunately, multiple issues came up in the months after this that prevented us from ever properly moving forward on that server, such as difficulty getting access to a different non-overloaded machine, and general instability with the Anycast network that became a big problem in the months after we started work on this. However we still wanted to move to Linux and get a long needed CPU upgrade, so we recently purchased a new Linux machine from NFO with the following specs The main differences from the previous plan include that we are not changing hosts, so we will keep our 216.52.148.47 IP address and also be staying in Chicago. We're also getting less of a CPU upgrade than we would've been before, but will still be a good boost coming from our current E3-1275 v6. We have been getting the new server ready over the past couple of days, and are now ready to announce a beta test for tomorrow, Friday July 23 @ 5 PM Central. For the duration of the test, we will simply be using an IP redirect from the current IP to a temporary IP so we have the ability to quickly change back if anything goes wrong. Should everything go fine in the test, we will be switching over to this server full time this weekend, including moving our current IP to point to this server.
