EPIC NEWS POST EDIT:

Due to me totally misreading Hazas post and thinking he didn't want us to release his code in game form (and being totally wrong) 193 isn't canceled. We'll release soon.

This is my official resignation from the Source Forts Development Team.

My reasons for this are both personal and for the fact that this team is dead.
It is managed by people who are inactive and do nothing on the mod themselves.

This forum is in a terrible state, and this can only be blamed on the poor management and little or no rules or no rule enforcement.

I do not give anyone the permission to release the Source Code of any version of Source Forts that contains any of my work. But you may still work on and improve such code, in the control of the Source Forts Team.

Yours Sincerely.
Haza.

Khuskan recently posted a news announcement containing a screenshot of v1.9.3 that was oversized and ruined the layout of the main site. If you were somehow offended, please accept my apology.

We're testing and stuff. Screens:

Winners will get to play the beta before it's released.

Good Luck,
Haza and all of the SourceForts Dev Team.

It has come to our attention that an epidemic is occurring right under our own forts. Of course, I am speaking about griefing. Griefing is the act of deliberately sabotaging a friendly team's fort for the sole purpose of amusement. The SourceForts team recently conducted an undercover operation in order to assess and confront the growing griefer population.

In an never before seen operation, the SourceForts team is proud to present, "To Catch a Griefer". Using the latest internet chat programs and technologies, we have been able to replicate the thoughts and commands of griefers worldwide. We present to you our first suspect. Under the alias "Griefer109" we approached a number of would-be griefers with the prospect of ruining servers.

One such griefer we approached was "andrew`laptop". He divulged to us a number of griefer secrets and tactics.

It is clear from the above chat log that andrew`laptop was indeed... just "trying to have some fun". However, where can the line be draw between fun, and destruction? An entire server was under threat and nothing could be done. Join us next week for our three part series on "To Catch a Griefer" where we discuss the morality issues surrounding griefing.

Here is a sneak peak at Khuskan's upcoming map, sf_angular in SourceForts 1.9.3.

Also a look at a refreshed UI.

Don't worry, SourceForts 1.9.3 is coming.




Cheers,
Haza

I am in Spain for two weeks.

Yes, this deserves a news post. Now there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to not know where I am.

Just so everyone understands before they ask on the forums:

Sourceforts will NOT function on the ATi promotional HL2: Deathmatch offer

Nor will any half life 2 mod. In order to play mods, you need to have a paid version of any Source game that includes Source SDK base - Half life 2 SP or Half life 2 DM (the purchased version) include this, and with them you will be able to play all multiplayer Source mods.

A new map has been released. It is completely new is not a reproduction in any way what-so-ever. It is sf_valley_200. Please download it and enjoy it because I spent many hours laboring over it. It fixes a number of problems that were reported with the original valley; including, but not limited to, the lack of optimizations, the terribly small no freeze zone, and the overall "did a 12 year old make this " atmosphere of the map.
