April 21st, 2020 Update
This one consists of a few (mostly) back-end stuff.
- Implementation of the Activity Leaderboard:
This is a new system that allows us to collect certain activity information regarding players. Such as: Time played in the last X days, time played in general, top player (activity-wise) etc. This will allow for a better overview of activity when it comes to specific personnel, or group-wide.
- Implementation of the Personnel Activity Manager:
This system brings back the “activity-logs” channel in every departmental Discord server. It shows when a player is signing on, and off. It also shows the amount of time played during the specific session. This allows departments to have a better overview of activity when it comes to their own personnel, allowing for better choices when it comes to promotions, as well as exciting new contests and competitions.
- Implementation of the A-1 Notifier:
The A-1 notifier will notify available A-1 units (off-site) when a VIP (L-4+) joins the game.
- Implementation of the MTF Pager:
The MTF pager allows personnel to remotely page Sigma-9 or Beta-7 units in case they are needed. This allows MTF to remain off-site and still be made aware, live, of any events going on site. For example, if there is a CD riot or someone roaming in the CZs, personnel are able to page Sigma-9 units for assistance. If there is a containment breach or a test awaiting B-7 at the checkpoint, personnel are able to page Beta-7 units for assistance. we also added a semi-tablet terminal at the checkpoint for easy paging.
The page command prompt is page <sigma/beta> <reason> and can be accessed by any Class B personnel.

Some additional items from my end:
- Soundtrack additions and modifications
Protocol White Drop
Track: Threat Alert C
Album: Hybrid Percussive Tracks
Library: Sonoton Trailer Tracks Vanguard
Protocol Dog Track
Track: Threat Alert A
Album: Hybrid Percussive Tracks
Library: Sonoton Trailer Tracks Vanguard
- Keybind addition
Press the comma/left-pointing arrow bracket key twice to mute or unmute music (immediate change). This keybind will function regardless of game state for convenience and UX’s sake
- Other small optimisations:
They’re in the background, you won’t notice them (which is good).

And I’m back again with more.
- Loadout upgrades:
There have been some changes to player loadouts. Please review suggestion 2239 for more details about the changes that have been pushed. Some updates from this are not currently live as we evaluate the code and where we can make additions: for example, some specials may appear as alternate primaries for now. Yeah, SRU I see you over there, happy about your Vector back.
Extra changes include:
- Removal of suppressor from Glock 18 for non-IA. That’s a privileged item. :vaultdab:
- MTF O5s can now equip tools natively on MTF without the console command.
- P30 Blackreaper is now “P30L”. Mag size increased to 15 (+1). Damage is now averaged 4 shots from 6.
- Glock 17’s damage min has been raised by 4, max by 2. Damage is now averaged 6 shots from 8.
- Vulcan is no more. It’s still in the game but cannot be used by anyone.
- MD have medkits now. You may not act as Combat Medics, that is grounds for disciplinary action from the Ethics Committee.
- Music keybind fix attempts:
Title. Removed M as a keybind because comma works.
- MTF data fetch fix:
I’ve completely written the backend for the MTF Trello to be future proof and hopefully devoid of any errors. We were running into some issues with the host platform, so we’re now using improved code that’ll better the process of getting data for MTF Operatives.
Will be logged as 3.22.0.
