Speaking of servers, I'd love a classic Freak Fortress 2 server, current FF2 is full of fucking retards with only default bosses or a bunch of random trash anime/reddit meme bosses with point-shop garbage & other autism plugins, I miss the bosses of old like Gangplank, Bonk Boy, Freddy Krueger, BLTIZKRIEG (fuck this guy, unless u were playing him lol), NinjaSpy, SeeMan & Seeldier, Gabe Newell, Cuddly Heavy, MLG Sniper, etc. Don't even get me started on the v-script VSH/FF2 either, what a fucking joke, I could forever sperg about how bad they ruined that "remaster".

These servers don't even have Painis Cupcake for fucks sake, wtf?? I feel personally attacked since I was a severely obsessed child that played these old servers & watched Gmod "freak" videos religiously, now it's just a shitfest of MLP/anime bosses or le random fictional character.

Here's two of my favorite freak series:

I have a deep autistic love for this "genre" of TF2, I spent way too much time trying to tele-frag/taunt kill bosses & other equally retarded tactics back then, also felt like Jesus whenever I got to be a boss, I almost never lost & put pride into that gameplay, I'd tweak out bad if I ever did lose a round as boss, especially since you had to wait what feels like hours to get another chance.
I played tons of other community game modes & none of them quite clicked like FF2/VSH (besides the very few times I had fun on JailBreak & WarioWare). I enjoyed CSS as well & never really got into shit like JB or zombie escape like I did with FF2, & I'm glad I got to experience it. TF2 feels like it was made with these types of modes in mind, even if it wasn't intentional, all the classes in shit like FF2 or JailBreak have a purpose (except maybe a pyro in ff2), & it just shows that TF2 truly is........... LE TIMELESS MASTERPIECE!!!!

(p.s. speaking of newfags and hosting servers, I have a spare mini pc that could be used for an unofficial server, if SDR is capable enough to be listed on the server browser, I could have a go at making an unofficial kiwi fortress, although this would be an EU server)

Small update on this, seems that SDR-routed servers do show up on the server browser but would cause the minimum ping to go up by 10-20 ms, so I could take over assuming the main attempt goes south.

Ok, the server lies in the server browser, for the moment I'm done with the network side of things, now I just need to configure the server map/gamemode wise.

The server will be setup like this, of course I'm happy to change things up based upon feedback:
  • Fixed spread/fall damage
  • Random crits are enabled
  • Scramble vote is enabled
  • RTV is enabled (should I enable nominations?)
  • Previously played maps are on cooldown for 4 maps
  • Weapons are reverted to their pre-JI/MyM status
  • Most of the game's maps are in rotation plus some workshop maps (see below)
  • The server tags and name are set as seen in the image above, I'm a bit hesitant on the tags and emojis as most people won't be able to see this anyways
  • The map timer is set to 33 minutes
  • There is no win limit set
I'll exclude only the training maps, MvM and arena maps from rotation.

Custom maps and gamemodes are going to be a bit of an issue, since SRCDS' file transfer system is really really slow and FastDL with SDR is going to be a bit of an issue since I'm not in a good spot to spin-up a HTTP server somewhere with the files without expecting potential problems, I might be able to figure something out using Cloudflare, but that's a near future thing.

This means that for the moment I can really only add workshop maps into the server's rotation, sorry about this.

Workshop map wise:
  • I see some quake like vscript maps that might be a decent idea
  • rd_asteroid_redux
  • Cactus Canyon Redux
  • Convoy (both CTF and 5CP variants)
  • I see a (likely dead) server network branded Toyfort that could be added
  • Variants of Hydro (Conquest/Attack and Defend)

What I'd like to see:
  • Random Damage Spread / Fall Damage
  • Map Nominations
  • Arena Maps (#ArenaLivesMatter)
  • rd_asteroid and pl_cactuscanyon (redux is fine but classic is preferred)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'd prefer the server be mostly vanilla (with the exception of some classic community server maps).

Also, can you give us a detailed list of the maps in rotation?

I'll probably put the spread issue up for a poll once the server goes live and the separate thread is made.

With Arena maps would plain ol' arena be fine or should I set up the variant where a team respawns their players if they capture the maps' control point?

All of them or just the ones that were ruined?

This plugin (there's a list on the page) covers a good chunk of them, and it lets you toggle them on a per weapon basis, so you can mix and match old and new play styles.

Click to expand...
is it universal or selective?
some weapons were buffed in these updates (cow mangler, manntreads, pretty boy)
and some others were nerfed out of necessity
[reserve shooter on pyro, sort of the crit-a-cola, sandman+guillo*, razorback and darwin (which got buffed in a different manner)

*thinking more about it the sandman stun was more bearable than i made it out to be, but the guilliotine made the stun a death sentence on any distance, please don't bring back sniper scouts

e: saw the answer now, but should still talk about what you plan on limiting server-side

second e: rephrasing the previous e

Is there any way to anonymize player names or is everyone just showing up on an alt?

I don't think there's a plugin to anonymize player names, I'll have a look.

Worse case scenario you can show up on an alt, either way SDR will be hiding your IP address anyways, meaning that both the server and clients don't know their true IP addresses.

edit:

I've written a 40 line plugin to do this.
It looks like this in the server's chat:
Code: 
Your name was changed on the server to protect your identity.
mJhgCYeIyMmVxGT joined team BLU

Seems to apply to everything including the server browser, however in-game players will still know your STEAM_ID and can right click on the scoreboard to view your steam profile.

Vanilla Arena, please.

As for the mapcycle, a lot of the post-JI maps are terrible or painfully mediocre (Valve stopped giving a shit about quality map curations afterwards); I'd recommend adjusting it to all maps pre-2018 (with maybe the exception of a few such as Cashworks, Haarp and Burghausen to name a few that stand out to me).

https://github.com/EtraIV/TF2-Imageboard-GreenText (don't mind the readme, it hasn't been updated)
Be aware the chatbox can get pretty fucking gay with this thing on.

There's also the attached plugin, which randomizes player names based on a list of first and last names. IIRC it also changes the names on the server browser, at least the one on the Steam client. You'll have to edit it because it's full of ponyshit.

Alright I've removed the password from the server as I think it's ready enough to get some early feedback, I'll write up a thread tomorrow.

The player name hider works well but has a flaw where players on the server can see the name change prompt in chat, I'll fix that soon-ish, so I would still take precautions for the moment.

There is no server IP that I can provide since Steam Datagram Relay IPs will rotate the moment the server has a connection hiccup or is restarted, so you can find the server on the browser or using the tags: kiwi, farms, fortress

If anyone is wondering what maps I decided to remove here's a list:
// ctf_applejack
// ctf_turbine_winter
// cp_canaveral_5cp
// cp_hadal
// cp_overgrown
// pl_breadspace
// pl_embargo
// pl_odyssey
// pl_venice
// koth_cachoeira
// koth_krampus
// koth_megaton
// koth_sharkbay
// koth_slime
// pd_atom_smash
// pd_mannsylvania
If there's any maps that shouldn't be here or should be excluded, let me know.
