Hey guys, I've pushed a small update for Degroot Sort - it creates text trees representing your folders, so you can see information at a glance. Here's a snippet from the file I created before resorting my demos based on eventfulness.

https://github.com/CaptainZidgel/degroot-sort/releases/tag/v1.1.0

I am also brainstorming ideas on different ways to sort/organize/filter demos based on eventful (how many events, event data provided from 'ds_mark description'). If you have any thoughts please let me know.

I understand you can't go into detail on this stuff because the people making the abusive accounts will just create counter measures easier, but I wish TFTeam would be more transparent about this work. The CS Team would at least say something like "We're working on VACNet".

24's use of 'kill' was crude. Wolsne transferred ownership of nut city to 24 as he is going to focus on his studies. This happened at the same time that the VPS the old servers were on expired (end of payment term).
The downtime is simply a discrepancy between end of payment term for the old servers and 24's new servers being set up.

Last I checked there was no estimation but I could ask again and I'll update this post if I have more information.
If the itch to pug becomes uncontrollable we could borrow a mumble from a friend and use servemes but I for one am not willing to do that yet.
edit: new owner helps to have servers up by monday.

I actually feel so bad for you, that you thought this in your brain and thought it changed anything, or was even valid (newsflash armchair linguist: language changes with context and time, English is not bound by millennium-old Greek suffixes, and you clearly knew what they meant by -phobic if you knew to find the suffix for hatred, so your pedantry accomplishes nothing). I hope you enter human society and form a connection with another human being one day.

I'd be very interested in seeing how the github pages implementation works - github pages servers static pages only but under normal conditions you'd need some kind of a server to send TCP requests, but I did a quick google about TCP reqs in client only - is this the extension tech you were referring to? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12407778/connecting-to-tcp-socket-from-browser-using-javascript

Well for one thing I didn't know HLSW existed - beyond that, yes, it was just hobby. I'm trying to navigate the HLSW site right now but its kind of old - the only thing I could vaguely promise is that the use of a simple rcon shell would be much tinier, less resource intensive, than a client designed to access and control servers for dozens of different games - assuming that the games they're tailoring to use altered RCON protocols, as non-source/non-valve games often do (mine is only guaranteed to work on valve servers btw, ie tf2).

There are nodejs and openresty implementations of rcon already out there. Someone just needs to take one and write a nice html form then host it. I already have something like that ready to be hosted (openresty/lapis implementation). Will try to figure out how to use heroku, but I've never been able to get it done. If you have a website that does RCON connections easily, it will be of great use and I recommend you try and get it hosted.

I didn't write anything for this. I just built an executable from an external module. Module
Want to execute rcon commands when not in game? The best thing would be a website but I'm not running a server* for that so this is the next best thing:
A distributed executable rcon client. """Written"""** in Python. No python installations or dependencies needed on your end.

Docs: https://python-valve.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rcon.html#using-the-rcon-shell

*Hmm... perhaps after I eat my noodles I will look into hosting a thing on heroku.
**I didn't write anything. I built the rcon implementation from python-valve into an executable.

I build this so that I could use it on Windows instead of opening an Ubuntu vm to use rcon outside of TF2, and I could click an exe instead of typing out a longer than necessary command.
The quote-unquote source code is available on the same github if you'd like to make sure I'm not skimming your rcon passwords.
Again, to reiterate, this took no work on my end. Huge thanks to the original author of the module, Holiverh

Happening now!

pug.tf is a directory of tons of pug groups

Alright here's the other thing I was excited to show and the reason this is called "Zidgel's Gizmos" instead of "Demo Sorter program". Wanted this to spend more time in the oven but decided that might just overcook it.
Often times playing games, I hear people lament "Ah, I got a cool kill but wasn't recording a demo. Was anyone recording a demo?" Forgetting 1) the server probably had STV recording 2) Player recorded demos can't change perspective. However, if you don't remember to track down your STV demo on demos.tf near the actual event, you might never find it, especially if you play a whole lot of pugs and scrims every day.
I don't know if this will be useful to anyone, (certainly won't be to me), but this tool will find the STV equivalents of your POV demos on demos.tf

No binaries here, you'll need Python >= 3.8 and a compiled binary of icewind's rust demo parser (link on github repo).
This is experimental and won't work great in wonky situations, but if you only record as soon as matches start (like with PREC), I anticipate a very high success rate.
I have five demos I have tested it with and tweaked the program to specifically get good results for each one. Problem is I can't test every case. If you try it out, I would appreciate hearing about the results.

Never said boxcar isn't childish and in your team's case she obviously wanted to correct what she thought was some injustice (obviously she was biased and isn't a main admin so she shouldn't have had that convo with Patrick), but accusing her of making the division restructure SPECIFICALLY to screw you over was pretty childish too, especially when your own conversation with patrick shows him saying "boxcar didn't know you had approval from Makka, carry on." Now show me the screenshot of the discord conversation where boxcar says "can't believe they're still trying to get playmo in main, lets do a division restructure lol" and I will write a "boxcar bad, upfrag me" post.

(I have named this Zidgel's Gizmos in anticipation of future projects I hope to come to fruition)
I am Zidgel and I have an interest in scripting.

Big Project A: Degroot Sort, sort your demos into folders based on information like map, date, etc.

Big Project B: StraightToVDM - Turn your bookmarks into vdm files usable by Lawena!

That's all for now, I hope to bring more things of questionable usefulness to you soon.

Just because someone has a bias doesn't mean that this was some giant conspiracy by admins to have easier matches, and we don't even know which admins had the most sway over this discussion. Although it would be easier to discount this idea if there had been a more open dialogue from the admins before the change.
