Nerfed STPottery rewards from $100–$150 to $50–$100.

• I managed to turn about $800 to $1'600 in one go, so I nerfed it down.
  

• Updated The Contact to the latest Workshop version.
  • Money briefcases how ping periodically and dynamically, following the case when they move.
    

• Fixed an issue where you wouldn't receive any weapons when transporting with a phone.

• Your selected loadout is now printed to chat when confirmed.
  • This helps to let you know when your loadout has been registered and applied by the server.
    
• Made a pass on the preferences page, making sure they work.
  • Switching to spectate-only, unswitching, leaving, and everything else works properly while the match is preparing.
    
  • Turning on spectate-only mode while the round is preparing applies the preference immediately and rerolls teams or changes the game state.
    
  • This does not apply to infiltrator-only mode.
    
• Made a pass on the queue system.
  • This is not confirmed as working but this server isn't popular enough for me to care.
    
• Custom gamemode messages are not printed to console as well as shown on-screen.
  
• Camera static when a camera is down is no longer translucent.

Fixed Guards being able to respawn instantly.

• I was not setting the respawn time to be relative to the current time.
  

Infiltrators now always have a white coat again.

• The default model was updated to use the player color system, meaning Infiltrators would be colored with their player color instead of just white.  They will now always be white.
  
• Guards still use their player color, however this only affects the scoreboard and location pings.
  

The full camera image will now always be shown on-screen.

• Since the render target is rendered at an aspect ratio of 2:1, the edges would be cut off on displays with a lower ratio, effectively lowering the FoV of players with standard 16:9 monitors.  This is now fixed; aspect ratios greater than 2 are pillarboxed as always, but aspect ratios less than 2 are letterboxed.
  

Spectators no longer stay freezing.

• Previously, freezing was not reset when a player became a spectator.  Now it is, so the freezing overlay will not appear when spectating.
  

Loadout music now only plays the first time the menu opens, which is automatically at the beginning of round preparation.

• The music also no longer plays when hitting F3 mid-round.
  

The following change is from August 10:
Fixed Team Krilla not properly counting damage.]]>

• Manufacturing Machine price reduced:  $400 → $320
  
• Shipping Crate price reduced:  $20 → $5
  
• Supply Crate price reduced:  $80 → $20
  

Since there isn't a single product that breaks the $80 value threshold, it was extremely unlikely that you would ever turn a profit when buying Supply Crates, as you must to produce products.  These prices make it easier to turn a profit, although it will still take a while.  STMarket is intended as an entry-level money-maker, and it now fills that role well.

Some product recipes were also adjusted.  You can now make at least one product with only one type of material, which will prevent sometimes being unable to use a machine if you were to load ten of a single material into it.

STMarket is an addon that was first planned eight years ago.  It was lost to time until earlier this week, when I found it among old messages while looking for history points.  Reviewing it, it seemed like a much better idea for Suppliers than STPottery, so it was implemented as a replacement.

Suppliers can now purchase Manufacturing Machines and Supply Crates to create various products to sell wholesale.  Buy a Manufacturing Machine and a Supply Crate.  Break the crate open to reveal eight random instances of up to four different raw materials.  Load the materials into your Manufacturing Machine or destroy them if you don't want to use them, then select a product to produce and wait.  Once the product pops up, load up to 40 of them into a Shipping Crate then sell it to The Contact.  You will be rewarded for your work.

This new system does not mean STPottery just disappears though; Kilns and Clay are now available for general purchase, becoming the first producer on the server to be available to every job simultaneously.  Happy potting!

Removed the armor bar from the HUD.

• There is no way to acquire armor on Gang War RP, so having a large bar that would constantly be empty felt like a waste of space.
  

May 17
Expanded every job description.

• Every job description now has a lengthy lore entry describing each gang's characteristics and background.  Some gangs have lore based on SweptThrone Garry's Mod Universe events while others describe the origins of the real-world gang.
  

Renamed Red Gang and Blue Gang to Red-Hand Gang and Blue-Hand Gang.

• These minor changes are a reference to the two rival gangs on the first DarkRP server I ever played on.

Guard respawn time now scales with the number of guards.

• The respawn time for guards is now number of guards * 10 seconds, with a minimum of 30 seconds.  This will allow the Infiltrator more time to reposition after killing a guard, as well as encourage guards to play more tactically as to avoid getting group-killed and allowing the Infiltrator free reign of the facility.

Car parts are now worth a fraction of the car they got chopped from.

• In the past, each part from a car would be worth a constant amount of money, with the most expensive item being a mere $80.  This was done to prevent being able to buy a $300 car and scrap it for thousands of dollars in profit.  In practice, this would result in chopping cars being a completely worthless method to make money.  This update makes every part from a car worth a fraction of the car's value, with a theoretical maximum of 7% profit.  This is not something worth "grinding" for, as there is a slim chance of this happening.
  

May 17
Dramatically reduced the profitability of Hacker Computers.

• In my brief testing, I was able to turn $800 into over $35'000 in about ten minutes of hacking files.  The raw value of each file has been reduced by 90%, the value per megabyte of a file has been reduced by 60%, and networking speed has been reduced by 80%.  Hacking files remains a viable way to make money, but as one of the least risky ways of doing so, it has been toned down.
  

Gave the Hot Dog Cart a fixed physics model.

• Previously, the wheels of the Hot Dog Cart had no collision, causing the whole cart to sink into the ground and sit at a slant.  This has been fixed via a new physics model for the cart.
  

May 20
Reduced the speed of Crypto Miners mining.

• Just like the Hacker Computer, I was able to turn $2'400 into over $14'000 in a matter of minutes.  Granted, the value of one SToken is very high at the time of this update, but it still needed to be toned down a bit.  Crypto Miners now mine 90% less SToken every second.
  

May 21
Added Neon Signs available for general purchase.

• In the absence of any way to advertise businesses or other ventures, I have created and added two styles of Neon Sign available for general purchase.  All players can now purchase up to four of each Neon Sign, a floor version and a wall version.  Each sign costs $40 and can be edited using the context menu's "Edit properties" menu.
  

May 25
Money Safes, Weapon Lockers, and Law Boards are no longer removed when their owners disconnect.

• This will allow players to potentially stumble across some forgotten money or weapons, which would be pretty cool.
  

May 28
Added the Carson Dust Storm available for Mechanic purchase.

• The Dust Storm is a new A-class dune buggy that costs $3,500.
  

May 29
Money Printers can now be purchased even when there are no other players online.

• This was a leftover feature from STRP, where there were next to no ways to make money.  Since there are so many ways to make money on The Big Apple, this was a silly limitation to keep in place.
  

May 30
ATM deposit and withdrawal prompts now display how much money you have in your wallet.

May 31
Added STPottery entities available for Supplier purchase.  Pottery can be sold to The Contact.

Countless other bugs were fixed throughout the month, mainly related to selling products.  Since these typically only required changing a single number, they were not dated, and are instead all listed below:

• STOilMogul:  Fixed Oil Drills not spawning properly due to outdated STSettings.
  
• STOilMogul:  Fixed Oil Drums not being able to be sold due to a missing multiplier table.
  
• STCoffeeShop Neu:  Fixed Coffee not doing anything due to trying to give the coffee cup energy.
  
• STGunrunning:  Fixed guns not being able to be sold due to outdated STSettings.
  
• STGunrunning:  Fixed the Ammo Crafting Table being a Gun Crafting Table due to a typo.
  
• STBankRobbery:  Fixed Bank Vaults not having the correct amounts of money due to typos.
  
• Money Safe:  Fixed Money Safes not working due to missing files.
  
• The Contact:  Fixed cancelling a sale not allowing you to start a sale afterwards due to flawed logic.
  
• GTA V-ish HUD:  The ammo bar is now hidden for weapons that have their own:  Coffee, Tools, Spray Paint.

I've wanted to reopen these servers for a few months now because I feel like they deserved more than a month or three each, so after a long period of self-deliberation, I went all in.  All four servers from the STAG Servers event will be open from now for at least a full year, but my intention is just to keep them open forever. These servers will be in maintenance mode—meaning I will not be actively working on them outside of bug fixes and other necessary improvements—unless one of them miraculously explodes in popularity, pulling me out of my soft retirement.

All server data has been preserved, meaning your Blitz TTT points, Gang War RP money and weapons, and Big Apple money and clothes have all been retained (Infiltrator doesn't have any persistent data, lol). However, there may be issues with missing content as I foolishly removed old content addons from the Workshop, so I'll be on the lookout for a bit.  This forums is also now re-opened, and you can post about any server using a post prefix.

The four servers are as follows:

Blitz TTT
A mostly vanilla TTT server with a few key differences that throw a wrench in what you know about TTT. All traitors must be confirmed dead for the round to end in an innocent victory, the rounds are shorter, weapons are deadlier but less wieldy, and a few other changes.
Play Blitz TTT now at trio.sweptthr.one:27015

Gang War RP
A territory-based combat "TDMRP" server with over 600 weapons to play with. Battle it out on the streets of Downtown as one of 15 different gangs, fighting over ownership of 9 different control points all while managing your gang's money-making methods to help buy more guns!
Play Gang War RP now at trio.sweptthr.one:27016 

Infiltrator
A unique asymmetric stealth gamemode that pits one sneaky infiltrator against the rest of the server. The infiltrator must sneak into the sprawling Boreas facility, complete six objectives, then escape, all while the facility's security force is trying to stop him.
