The title is clickbait, MGE is not being rewritten (sorta).

Hello! 5 months ago I started looking into fixing all of the annoyances I found in the MGE SourceMod plugin throughout the years as a 10-year-old MGE veteran.

This evolved into an MGEMod fork that started to gain attention and is currently being considered for usage in the upcoming MGE.tf seasons and tournaments.

There are too many changes to list here ([u][url=https://github.com/mgetf/MGEMod]full list in the repo[/url][/u]) but here are the main ones:
[list]
[*] [b]Redesigned 2v2 System[/b] - Team selection menu, ready system (!ready), teammates no longer spawn in the same spot, ELO can be toggled off for 2v2
[*] [b]PostgreSQL & Database Improvements[/b] - Added PostgreSQL support, automatic migrations
[*] [b]ELO Protection[/b] - Verification system prevents players with failed Steam auth from affecting ratings, corruption protection against database errors
[*] [b]Enhanced Stats Tracking[/b] - Duel records now include class played, match timing, and ELO changes (before/after for each player)
[*] [b]New Commands[/b] - !elo to toggle your personal ELO display, !add @player to join someone's arena, and more
[*] [b]Map-Specific Configs[/b] - Split the giant spawns file into per-map configs for easier editing
[*] [b]Plugin API[/b] - Full natives and forwards for developers to integrate with MGE
[/list]

It's intended to be a drop-in replacement for the original. Database updates happen automatically.

By making this post I want to start asking you guys to [b]try the plugin out and spread the word[/b], see if you find:
[list]
[*] any bugs
[*] any form of annoyance you'd like to see changed/fixed
[*] any new ideas for improvements or feature requests
[/list]

I've been dogfooding this project in my 3 MGE servers, and some arctic.tf servers already use it as well. The rate at which I find bugs and fix them is very slow, so I want more people using it and reporting bugs.

In the future I'd like this plugin to fully support not only 1v1 and 2v2 flawlessly without any bugs, but ultiduo and bball as well with no problems (I've already seen some but I seriously can't reproduce them alone), and be fully extensible and capable of interacting/interfacing with other plugins for new crazy ideas and modules that complement it.

Thank you. Please report any bugs as issues in the GitHub repo, or add me in Discord @amperetf and hit me up.
