  4. Textures sometimes go missing

    in Gaming & Tech

    Posted

    So, I've had this issue on the server recently. I'll be walking around sometimes and out of nowhere, some of my textures go missing. It seems to be any material that has a movie texture associated with it. The biggest and most annoying example is the water on the lake. mat_specular doesn't do anything for it and it's super annoying, I don't know how to recreate it, it just kinda happens sometimes. It also causes the textures on a lot of the permaweapons to go missing.

    I have every Counter Strike game installed, I have all the packs and addons for the server downloaded, and this shit still happens.

    Anyone know a command or something that fixes this?

    I will admit that when I used to play I was a bit too comfortable and did start to minge and I noticed that myself and I apologize for anyone affected.

    After I resigned I would come on the server once per 2 months or so and minge because it was my way of unwinding on a community I no longer really cared about, I hope you understand that its not my intention to be "disrespectful" it was just a place for me to release all my stress.

    But I am back and my attitude has changed, I am ready to enforce the rules and god forbid break them but thank you for your response regardless I hope that has cleared it up abit.
     

    I don't know about anyone else but if I were you I wouldn't say my attitude has changed if only about a month or so ago you came with SOBDE on an event, in which you didn't even ask to join or were invite to mind you, and spamming 'Wave Check' both in game and in TS. You were told multiple times to stop by many people, including Boss. After you refused to stop he kicked you out of Delta channel, and the channel rules state that if you are kicked out, to stay out. You then abused your Community Legend tag to repeatedly come back in after being kicked out again and again.

    Not only that, but then on his(Boss') Regimental app, one of you reasons for -1ing him was that he removed you from the channel during that event. He had every right to do that, you should know better than anyone the channel rules for the SOBDE channels.

    Passive RP events won't keep everyone entertained though. Usually those med bay check-ups and shit come from events. Friday shouldn't be a Passive RP day it should be fun. Our server is full and there's nothing to do. And the Passive RP that happens is usually just cancerous

    It wouldn't be events, it would literally just be passive things to do around the server. Or even simulations or shit like that.

    My whole point was that events SHOULDN'T be the only thing going on around the map or on the server

    I'm just gonna be blunt and honest. The last couple of events I have been in and have watched have been yikes. The ONLY time good events happen is when Ryan is on the server and that's like 1 good event and then it takes 2 hours for another event to happen and its usually not even that good. So far on a Friday fucking night, there's been 2 EVENTS. AND THEY WERE PASSIVE EVENTS. Like most events are a resident sleeper and have no RP, no unique building and no unique story. There's no more storyline events and to be fair the best events are done by Joah but guess what they happen once a week. I'm gonna be honest I don't know who the GMC is, I think Dragon BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING. The Events have been getting shittier and shittier. There's 123/128 on a Friday and there hasn't been an event in like 2 hours. LIKE MONKAS. 

    Events fuel the Population and at this rate our server should be at fucking 65/128 cause of the lack of events and fun shit to do. Its fucking embarrassing tbh

    If you don't like my opinion then I mean YIKES

    Lack of quality events is only half the problem. There is an issue on the server of people always complaining that there is 'nothing to do' or shit like that, to those people I have one thing to say; It's an RP server.

    What I mean by that is people need to get off their asses and create things to do on the server. Do medical check-ups in the Medbay, go on patrol, relying solely on Events to keep the ebb and flow of the server going will never end well. Commanding Officer and BCMDs can only do so much. The server needs more people to start thinking for themselves and start doing passive things around the map.

    So going through one tryout is more difficult than spending upwards of 3 months to earn an officer spot? And what do SOBDE do in relation to the rest of the server that cements them to be treated differently than everybody else in the aspects of respect? 

    As you said, you do not know what members do in battalions to become officers. SOBDE is completely separated from the operating process that a battalion has. I do not claim to know what SOBDE tryouts are because I've never had the desire to go through them. All I'm saying is that everybody be treated equally rather than people believing that they are better than each other. And what does SOBDE do that forces them to work their ass off to stay in a squad?

    From my personal experience with working my way up through a Battalion(Galactic Marine specifically) and being involved with SOBDE as long as I have been, I would say yes to your first question. Especially considering the amount of people that fail on the simplest things in our tryouts. Most of the time people don't even make it past faces and formations. But everyone has their own view and opinions on things, and I can understand why some people would feel differently than I do.

    As far as the respect thing, I don't know where this came from. I never said that SOBDE members should be more respected than anyone else. I think I would do a terrible job as a BCMD for a normal Battalion. Too many people to manage and keep track of. I have as much respect for people like Rex and Bacara as I do for people like Boss and Niner.

    Typically, people inside SOBDE pride themselves on being above-average with most things, and that is a by-product of the difficulty of the tryouts. There are very few, if any cases of someone passing the tryouts and not being at least decent with PVP, Leadership, and well above average RP skills. That does not mean that there are not members within Battalions that excel at these areas, but there is a higher concentration of them within SOBDE.

    SOBDE members are required to work with their Outreaches pretty frequently. Lately, we've been a little lax because of all the changes happening, having to alter or remake the tryouts every other day for various reasons. We've had to remove a fair number of people recently for either not allotting their time properly to their SOBDE job or failing to stay true to the standards that we hold ourselves to. Within the past month or so we've had to remove 4 or 5 people for a variety of reasons.  The tiniest slip ups can get you removed so you have to be on your best behavior most of the time. Again, this doesn't mean that other Battalions don't hold their members to high standards, but I've seen some members of Battalions that have done things that would get them removed from an SOBDE position on the spot.

    Why would squad members and leads get payed more than BCMDs and high ranking republic officers?

    There is a suggestion up that would make BCMD and Squad Lead equal pay at 800. This was accepted on Wednesday by Joah, just realized.

    Squad Members have always been payed more than Battalion Officers for as long as I can remember(or at least since we stopped using 50c for everyone back when the server first started)

    I'm not sure what every Battalion has their members go through to become Officers, but I can assure you that most if not all of them are not as difficult or as tedious as going through any of the SOBDE tryouts. Becoming a Squad Member of SOBDE is way more than just doing some requirements and getting a promotion. You have to really work your ass off to earn a spot in SOBDE, and you have to work your ass off to keep it as well. Whether or not you think the work that people put in to become SOBDE justifies the paycheck they get relative to what other Officers get is something I don't think anyone will be able to convince someone of if they already don't like it.

    Well, It seems legit enough. I mean you can place in Server Suggestions and give reasoning and I can see if you can people to back it up Before the next update. @Baxter

    If anything I think it would make more sense to give the Regimentals more pay, but you'd also have to edit pays above it, so pay would look like this;
    General - 1,000 credits
    Marshal Commander - 950 credits
    Senior Commander - 900 credits
    Regimental Commander - 850 credits
    Squad Lead - 800 credits
    Squad Member - 750 credits

    I think if we stick doing the same thing . Synergy will die in the up coming months

    If we dont do something other than CW and do it right
     

    no new people will come bringing new ideas, and there wont be any change. 

    people think that we can just do CW for a long time and keep going but that wont work?

    Yes Jek said this couldn't die, but it was because we were growing. at the point we are at now. its only just people have played and keep playing.

    its only the same faces. rare new people. Who come on for a day and then leave. 

    If change doesnt embark then the only way is down. Thats just facts. 

    I disagree with pretty much everything stated here.

    The community of Synergy was founded from a bunch of Icefuse Players who were unhappy with what happened to Joah and unhappy with the way Icefuse was doing things. Specifically with their Clone Wars branch. I'd go as far to say that 90% if not more of the people that started Synergy were from Icefuse CWRP exclusively. Clone Wars is what the community was founded on and is what a gross majority of the player base is invested in to.

    New people come in all the time. The best example that comes to mind is my Wrecker, Greek. He was pretty much a fresh CT when he got into Bad Batch and, while not new to GMod, he was new to the server. He has brought plenty of good ideas to the table and is already a Senior Admin. Saying no new people will come in to bring new and fresh ideas is just flat out wrong.

    Not saying that branching out into other things would be bad or pointless, but it's hard to justify it when this community has already tried that so many time and ALL of them have been shut down or canceled. You and everyone else have every right to be upset about the way MRP was handled but sometimes shit just happens. It would have been neat to see MRP thrive but at the end of the day this community was founded on one thing; Clone Wars.

    The thought that not expanding is going to kill the community in a few months is ludicrous at best.

    Does this mean that even if an HA build a dupe that is 250 props, that if an SA or VA have that dupe, they won't be able to put it down?

    If so this sucks big weiner for SOBDE Tryouts
