As you're all probably aware CS:S has received an update moving it to the Orange Box engine, while this update helps stop a lot of exploits and ways of crashing servers, it unfortunately breaks a LOT of modding we had on our servers (everyone's in the same boat as well).
All custom maps should still be working but there might be one or two changes made to the engine that have crept through that break some functionality within maps, causing them to malfunction, we'll leave the maplist as normal for now but keep an eye out for any problem.
Original admin was broken on all servers but we've managed to update it and get it working on all the servers now without losing any of our old settings, so if you had admin you still do, the only exception to this is ScoutzKnives which had a bit of a problem updating to the new CS:S version so we couldn't do anything with it yet, it's still up in the air whether we can get it fixed before we leave for our respective vacations.
I have ZM working now and it's as close to the original ZM as I could get it, one good thing is it's a lot lighter on the server than the original version so we might end up just sticking with this one entirely, it also has a couple of really cool features, if you type !zmenu you can set certain things up to save every time you join the server, for example you can set it to show you're HP whenever you're a zombie, and best of all you can save a "load-out" in the market, and then set it to autobuy it for you every single round, no more having to buy guns manually anymore.
I've also added a form of noblock (since eventscripts are totally broken atm) and it works fine, one of the cool features of it is that it noblocks grenades through players as well, so there can be no more glitching players out of boats or things with grenades. Unfortunately there is a problem with it that means we've had to temporarily enable noblock on every map, so to compensate I enabled the !block command which should work, just say !block in chat and it turns you solid for 20 seconds, so if you and someone else type !block then you can still work together to boost/push/whatever in order to tag humans or get to places you can't normally, this isn't ideal but it will have to do, and as I said it's temporary hopefully.
I probably wont be on again for 2 weeks so I'll see you all when I get back, have fun and good luck while I'm gone, 3z will be gone as well so direct any issues to Trexx when he gets back in a few days, but try to be nice to him and not give him too much work. ;)
Ciao.
