It's been awhile since I have posted any kind of update regarding TFC Refugees. Today I have done quite a bit of updating on both the website and server.
First off the whole backend of the server was migrated and moved to a docker container to better secure our infrastructure. The website was updated to the current version of Xenforo (the software I used to build this site). Most everything backend was updated to any current versioning. With that I have made a new theme instead of the plain white one I was using before. There are still some tweaks to make and those adjustments will come in due time. Lots of small things were fixed here that the normal person probably wouldn't notice. Some things were broken and some were just configured wrong. Registration is now turned back on. I have migrated to some new spam checks to further help with spam registrations. Accounts will still need to be approved before use. Emailing has also now been reactivated with the use of Zoho Mail. I no longer send mail via my server(s).
Secondly, the game server was also moved to a docker container as well utilizing the linuxgsm server software. With this change came updating the overall TFC game. Yes you read that correctly. Valve still updates GoldSrc. With this update came with breaking some of the plugins we use. I have disabled a few of them pending further research and upgrading. I will try my best to fix those plugins if I can. I have also updated metamod and amxmodx to the current versions available (1.9). A while back I created a
master maps pack for all the maps that are in our multiskillz server. That way you don't have to download all of them individually threw the server.
That's all I have for right now. You may see somemore changes in the coming weeks and maybe a new map if I have the patience and time. TFC Refugees isn't going anywhere and I will still support the community anywhere I can with the community built. If you wanna show your support. You are welcome to donate but isn't required.
Thanks and I will see you all in the server at some point! Long live Team Fortress Classic.
