Service Announcement - Conference Center
Opening and closing the Conference Center is tiring, so I’m leaving it up for good unless there’s some reason why we need to keep it closed (for example, maintenance). You can also grab a VIP server for free on it, so we’re offering it as a sort of service for you all if you want to use it for your own purposes.
At the moment there is no support for non-standard uses, so the benefit of VIP servers is only useful for Level 4s and department command teams for hosting conferences at around the same time slot without interfering with another session or having to wait to host a meeting. I am looking into private server integrations (controls, permission bypasses and so on) to further give it use for our staff and even outside ones!
Another thing why I’m leaving it up: it’s nice to move around and use a game to talk once in a while. Yeah, text filtering exists, but once in a while it’s nice to change things up from talking in a Discord channel to meeting in game. At least that’s what I think, and why we have meeting places to begin with. For example, think about how different our celebrations would be if we just spammed a text channel instead of using a meeting game.
Issues on the hall have not been fixed yet, I know there are some that exist such as guns not being properly removed from anyone who’s not Alpha-1 or IA. I don’t know when I’ll fix them, but eventually I will.

All updates beyond this point will be dropping semantic version.
We have been severely inconsistent in how we have been labelling our versions and there has been violation of semver principles, even in our loose following of it, everywhere. It is with this that it will be dropped.
Versions will now be labelled by the date in which they are published on. Any updates made during that day will also be logged into the post - this extends to major and minor updates as well as patches.
Previous updates made will not have their labels changed to reflect the update.

Restored the 2020-08-30 update. Some updates are missing.
-
Respawn timer reduced to 20 seconds.
-
IA is now the only group able to use the fully black (BrickColor “Really Black”) skin colour for their uniforms. Complete access users (Level 6) can no longer use this in the Skin Tone option.
Removals

Removed all vehicles and anything associated with them including terminal commands, code and models. Vehicles are now completely cut from the game.
-
Exhaust vents no longer emit particles in an attempt reduce lag.
-
Class D vendor removed.
Cut Updates

Side TSTA windows can no longer be broken. It was an interesting but useless pilot project.
-
Shift lock is disabled again. Roblox has become unpredictable with their PlayerModule updates and shift lock has caused some camera system conflictions.
-
Spawn rooms no longer have thematic labels. They now retain the name of the department that can spawn there (e.g. “Armoury” is back to “Security Dpt.”).
-
SCP-606 no longer resets back to its chamber when it goes near the spawn box. Trying to figure out a comfortable way to fix the exploiting of this SCP as well as of noclipping in general.
-

Additions
- Added Promise library.
Improvements & Changes
- Users with a name following the IA format (AGENCY_XXXX) without being in IA will now be automatically kicked.
Removals
-
Removed server room hacking. It’s broken, doesn’t serve a purpose and is too difficult a raid objective to be useful. I will consider other types of fun minigames, possibly bringing back hacking in a different way, in the future.
-
Patch notes removed from the main menu, they aren’t used anymore and have not been updated as often as this thread or other means of communicating updates. The next TSiD should create their own patch notes thread or discuss with the O5 Council about receiving a separate channel for posting updates that this time is not hijacked for administrative notices.
-
Removed unused train class. Rail locomotives noted as potential V4 content.
-
Removed unused weapons locker class. This was meant to allow combatives a way to change their gear without exiting to the menu. Will think about revisiting weapons lockers in the future.
-
Removed unused debug script (ironically was capable of causing lag despite being in the Lag Helpers scripts group).
-
Removed unreleased vials V2 code. Vials will be recoded again in the future using Promises (which will guarantee, this time, that they will work properly).
-
Removed radio write access for Level 0s as proposed to and approved by the O5 Council.
