General VCES and SAES News

NEWS!

NEWS! Well, its about time for some news. Firstly, congrats to all the new SAES members who have passed probation over the last few weeks and months. Check the roster for an updated list. Second, Panther, and age old member of VCES and SAES has officially retired his position within HQ. It is because of this I am pleased to announce the promotion of zZenom to fill the role of Assistant HQ alongside Vision. Blowjobs all round, as is the norm when a SAES member gets into HQ (its the only reason Vision is HQ - he's so damn good at them). Finally, I've done a bit of shuffling of the roster, and the following changes have been made: Panther: As mentioned above, moved to Inactive/Retired. Angrybob: Moved to Inactive/Retired. Aytek: Moved to Inactive/Retired until he's done in the Turkish Army and comes back. Camo: Must have got himself a girlfriend and/or a life - Inactive/Retired. Funk: Moved to Inactive/Retired. Heggy: On the other side of the world, so moved to Inactive/Retired. Madis: Emo has left us and is too busy, Inactive/Retired. Ratt: Never plays, so Inactive/Retired. zZenom: Moved to Assistant HQ. Note to current members, and to those whom I have moved to Inactive/Retired. We require our members to be active within the community and on the server otherwise you are taking up a place in the clan over someone who might use it more often than you, please don't take this as a personal slight, it just means we want you to be active. Please make an effort to be on IRC and the forum occasionally, as it is the easiest way to keep track of members. Anyone who has been moved to Inactive/Retired will need to PM me or brophy and we will, depending on the reasons for inactivity, decide how to proceed. VCES/SAES HQ

SERVER BACK

UPDATE 2: Server should now be operating at full potential. A few things to note: those who had various access to various things, still won't have access to them until you see ME or BROPHY in game, and get us to fix it for you. Please don't whine or moan, and if you haven't read this and don't know that the secret word is "allirog" then we won't do it for you. I'll go into a little bit of detail about the changes now, for those who are interested, if you're not, don't read. The old way the server worked meant that every time a player connected, the accounts file (Which is an xml file) which held thousands of accounts was read and written. This was putting the server under a huge amount of load due to the size of this file. This in turn was causing the network trouble, and causing the accounts.xml to occasionally get wiped. This shouldn't happen, and hopefully MTA will fix it at some point, but it prompted us to make a few changes to our login system. We did have two login systems running at the same time, with things being stored in the database (like money, wanted level etc) and your access to certain groups done via the accounts xml (access to desert eagles for example). This meant it was (at least to start with) a straightforward switch to a new system, but a few other things cropped up. The login and logout commands are hardcoded into MTA, and they deal with the accounts xml. So we can't use them anymore, instead we have a new command 'kill' which should serve the same purpose. This will kill your character, log you out and give you the spawn menu. Now it is all done via the database, which means that the server doesn't have to touch the accounts.xml at all, and we've removed all accounts from there. Don't worry though, as mentioned before, all your accounts are safe and sound in the database. And we're accepting new registrations already! From what i've noticed since being on the server, my framerate has improved. No network trouble at all, and an overall smoother way we handle logins and player groups. There may still be bugs, if so see below as to where to report them. Hope you all enjoy it, and again we apologise for the downtime. == ARTICLE BREAK == UPDATE: Server is back online for now, using our own made account system (I wont go into detail about how the mta built-in account system is), but making our own has relieved our server of its lag and cpu usage, and gameplay should be smooth again It should be noted there will be bugs that need ironing out and stuff that you cant access for now, here are few: Groups are being made to tie into own new account system which uses a database rather than xml files Login details are exactly the same, so is all your money and whatever, so don't try to blag us you have lost loads of money For those who spawn special classes on the server, with groups being changed, you wont be able to access Admin, Homeland or Desert Eagle spawns for the time being STOP ASKING WHEN IT WILL BE DONE, OR WHY THIS OR THAT DOESN'T WORK, PLEASE REPORT BUGS TO http://bugs.saesrpg.net (also search that no one has posted about the same bug!) == ARTICLE BREAK == Hi Guys, The server is currently down while we perform some urgent maintenance to the way the server handles your login information. This update will fix: Network Trouble every time somone connects Accounts being wiped and having to restore to a backup Speed of logging in Amount of server downtime Please bear with us while we do this, if you are looking for someone to blame you can direct your aggression towards that little cunt Madis (actually it isn't his fault, its cos MTA is shit). We will update this post to let you know how things are going, but for now my evening plans (wanking to goat porn starring our very own BrophY and zZenom) are ruined. that is all.

SAES:RPG Wiki

As you know we have our own wiki that we use for tutorials and help topics, this is so members of the public can help build it and so we can revert any abuse (something we can't do on the forums) I've moved the RVB and RVB Ambush tutorials over there, but the wiki is still lacking content, this is where you guys come in! If you think you can help out, then visit http://wiki.saesrpg.net and start making help pages, tutorial pages, your own roleplay / gang page, its upto you! Just remember to leave a link to them in the community forum. If you want to translate any pages, then check the main page on the wiki on how to do it. Remember, the login you create or have already created on the wiki, you can use the same username and password to login into our bug tracker at http://bugs.saesrpg.net
