AMX Mod X




AlliedModders, New Unified Forums Jun 24, 2006 02:59
I'm very pleased to announce our new unified initiative, AlliedModders! Over the past eight months, Freecode and I have worked on the logistics of combining our major projects together. Today we have finally taken the first big step, and merged AMX Mod X, SourceMod, and SuperHero Mod into one bulletin board.

In the coming months we will be redoing our main sites to focus on an easy interface that binds all of the projects together. We are also using new forum software, vBulletin, carefully themed to look almost exactly phpBB2. You'll see we've expanded the layout of the various projects to be more accomodating, using vBulletin's handy sub-forum feature.

There are a few details you'll see are missing. I recommend everyone visit the new Site Issues forum. This is the new place to discuss site and forums features. You'll see stickies about what features are missing/broken, what's new, and what to do if your account broke from the import. You are also welcome to post site or forum problems here.

This was a huge undertaking on our part, and has been in our plans for over half a year. We're all very relieved to finally see it happen, and there are a few people I would like to personally thank:

  • Freecode - Without his help, AlliedModders would not have happened. The theme was quite time consuming on his part, especially when enduring nit-picking over silly details. I am genuinely impressed with how well it came out. He also ported our phpBB plugin system, oversaw the merge complications, and spent the past three days pulling all-nighters with me. My hat is off to Freecode. Thanks!
  • Brad - Responsible for the new and improved syntax highlighter integration.
  • TechConnect - Our soon-to-be-announced Source sponsor, who got us our shiny new webserver (located in TX, USA).
  • Lastly, thanks to twistedeuphoria and faluco who helped give input, report bugs, and do some tedious cleanup tasks.


We're all looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Downtime Update Jun 18, 2006 01:43
Hello Everyone!

I apologize for the downtime. We hit a bad combination of poor tech support, mis-communication, and changes to last-minute schedules - none of which we really had any control over.

I've restored the old server while we wait for our new provider to come online. We will make the forums transition Wednesday-Thursday on the new server, and keep the old one online until we're done.

If you find any hitches using the site (the backup image restore was a bit sloppy), feel free to PM me.

Remember that your e-mail addresses for accounts on SourceMod, SuperHero Mod, and AMX Mod X must match.

Thanks for your patience!

Downtime Alert, New Forums Coming Jun 14, 2006 13:30
As I've hinted, and often outright said, we have outgrown our phpBB2 installation. In order to make it easier for us to deal with upgrades, customizations, optimizations, and manage accounts/projects, we're moving to vBulletin's forum software.

This is a large process that Freecode and I have been working with on and off for many months now. As part of this migration, we are combining the forums from AMX Mod X, SourceMod, and SuperHero Mod into one big installation.

We have done our best to make this seem seamless - down to even porting the phpBB2 subSilver theme and our plugin system to vBulletin. However, the start will likely be a bit rocky. The major problem is that some users have different accounts on all three forums. There is an easy fix for this, though! And I will say it in very large letters, so everyone see it:

Your e-mail addresses between AMX Mod X, SuperHero, and the SourceMod forums must match for your accounts to "combine" properly. If you have accounts on more than one of these sites, make sure your e-mail addresses match, do not just assume that they do!

With that said, we'll be unrolling this in two phases over this week. The first phase starts at Wednesday night (June 14th) around MIDNIGHT EST. There will be total downtime - the forums, CVS, and all sites hosted on DarkPeer.tcwonline.org will be totally unreachable. This includes AMX Mod X, WC3Mods, SourceMod, and SuperHero. This downtime will hopefully only last at most six hours, but expect an entire day for worse case scenario.

After that, we plan to install the new forum software from June 19-20th (Mon-Tues of next week). AMX Mod X, SourceMod, and SuperHero forums will remain up in "read-only mode" before the new forums go live, so hopefully there will be no downtime.

We've also finished beta testing AMX Mod X 1.75, and that will be released next week if there are no major forums problems. Make sure to check out the upcoming changes here.

GabenMod released for public! May 22, 2006 09:41
Yeah, it's been a while, but finally released: GabenMod!

If you didn't read the last news post, it's a Counter-Strike Mod made to be similar to Team Fortress Classic. You can select a class when you enter a server and use its abilites to upgrade your weapon or just to get faster. You gain points by killing other players, planting the bomb or rescuing a hostage.

However, most of you already know what it this mod is like (you can check it out on our Official Server sponsored by NuclearFallout.net.) so I don't think I have to say a lot about it :)

You can get this mod here.

We really enjoy this mod and we hope you do that too :gyar:

Official Server released! Apr 25, 2006 18:37
A little while back we announced an official server with a gameplay mod called "GabenMod". We're happy to say that it's finally here! GabenMod is a set of AMX Mod X plugins written with TFC in mind. You choose a class, respawn in a safe zone, and complete the objective of planting the bomb.

The official AMX Mod X server can be joined at: am.nuclearfallout.net:27015 (sponsored by NuclearFallout).

If you place your steamid in your AMX Mod X profile, you can get karma for completing objectives. If you're a donor, moderator, or developer, you also get special items and privileges in the server, although you have to set your Steam-ID in your profile first.

Later this week we'll be adding more features and then releasing GabenMod as open source to the public. So, if you've gotten sick of normal CS and need something a little different, try out GabenMod!

A quick tutorial for GabenMod:

Say /menu to buy items for your class.
Say /smenu to get privileged items (for donors, mods, etc).
Say /help to get help.
Say /class to change your class.
Say /buy to buy additional abilities.
New: Say rollthegabe to use to cause a random action for you
