Hi everyone,
Unbelievably, we’ve now reached 3 years of HarrysMod - holy shit! To celebrate this surprising milestone, the birthday cakes are back in for the next few weeks. In addition, the following things have been added/changed:
Harry’s things
There’s 3 new attachments dropping from lootboxes for the duration of the event!
- Quickmags: Halves your magazine size but doubles your reload speed, also slightly reduces recoil
- Loudener: Makes your gun loud. Like really loud. Increased recoil, damage and range.
- Semi-auto conversion: Converts your gun to semi-automatic. Reduces recoil, and slightly reduces fire-rate. Does not have an effect on weapons that are already semi-automatic.
Skills
- Skills are taking a lot longer than I’d like. I’m actually pretty burned out on Garry’s Mod in general right now and don’t have a lot of motivation to add big new features like this. Eventually it’s going to be done but I can’t say for sure right now. The final bit that needs finishing is actually creating the application of the skills themselves but man is that boring to make, but eventually they will come out.
also there’s a sale on at https://harry.gg/store please buy more scrap, VIP+ 6 months is also back for a limited time
Event spawn fixing
A massive shout out to everyone that helped me with event spawn fixes over the Easter event, there have been a series of changes. If you still are able to see cakes out of bounds, please PM myself with a screenshot and why you can’t reach it (invisible wall, glitch etc).
Charity bundle 2 update
We raised £400 over the course of this process, a simply massive achievement and fat thanks to everyone who bought the bundle! We may decide to do another bundle down the road, keep an eye out for this.
Staff update
We’ve made a series of changes over the last few months regarding bans and slays etc. We’ve been issuing far fewer perma bans and it seems to be working out okay so far. Please don’t ping staff members in discord about RDM, we know when this is happening. A reminder, you can appeal your ban by reading this post: How to appeal your ban!. Please ensure you explain what happened etc. For anyone reading this that was previously perma banned, feel free to appeal, no guarantees on an unban but doesn’t hurt to try right?
Insert’s section
Its been quite clear that i have been burned out of ttt in general, Since it is the birthday event you can look forward to daily one hour hosts on Main2 from 8-9pm for one week.
Starting tommorow, you can join event with a guanteed 20k scrap pay out when winning events (Fuck the ecconomy, go unbox). You are guanteed for dunb events and the very occasional use of some compleatly broken exotics all for fun… and the strain of the main2.
(Event will be sadly canceled on the day if less than 8 people do not join after 10 mins of the event)
Raptor’s Section
Hello, hats/masks still aren’t in, genuinely lacking motivation to do much. Hopefully will be motivated soon. Here’s some of the stuff I pushed for and got. Or made.
Map Changes
We have added two new maps! ttt_aircraft and ttt_old_factory both join the map selection on main.
However we say goodbye to 3 maps - ttt_hogwarts, ttt_roy_the_ship, and ttt_lttp_kakariko. Each has different reasons for being gone.
Also thumbnails might be in for maps! Depends on if Harry was able to get around to that; if not, oh well. I’ll ask him later.
Exotic Balancing
Dual Crowbars – increased push force
Dual Mac10s – minor accuracy increase, slightly reduced recoil, slightly increased reload speed
Experimental MP5s – increased damage, slightly reduced recoil, slightly increased reload speed, decreased headshot multiplier, increased damage drop-off
M3 Garand – decreased recoil
Quad Berettas – decreased recoil, minor accuracy increase, min/max range increase, max dropoff increase
Rab-Worc – increased firerate, increased damage, increased pull cooldown
Sniper Shotty – 1 less bullet per shot, slightly increased firerate, reduced recoil
Tranquilizer Gun – increased damage (1 shots body armour (no HP boost) on head), decreased firerate
Vampiric Deagle – heals 35 (still take 15 damage)
Berserker – minor recoil reduction, slightly increased damage, slightly decreased headshot multiplier
SniperGun550 – lower max range (so gets stronger at shorter distance, 2500 units max), slightly decreased recoil
New Exotic
The burst-fire FAMAS, Count Wankpuffin IV, finally makes it’s debut! The name was chosen in a quick poll, and I’m sure he’s delighted to have a gun named after him.
Birthday Loot Box
The Birthday Loot Box sat unchanged for a literal year. Today, that changes! For the next month, the box will rotate the weapons in it each Friday. The selection each week was made to keep each week having a variety of weapons (for example, only 1 SMG each week). Here’s the schedule:
17th-23rd: AUG, Deagle, FAMAS, M3 Super 90, P90, TMP
24th-30th: HUGE, M1 Garand, M16, MP5, Pistol, Sawed-Off Shotgun, Sniper Rifle
31st-6th: Galil, Glock, Mac10, P228, SG550, SPAS-12
7th-13th: AK-47, Crowbar, Dualies, Judge, M60, Shotgun, UMP
