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.
Play Infiltrator now at trio.sweptthr.one:27017 

The Big Apple
A three-server semi-serious roleplay experience that takes place on all three New York-themed maps. Implementing the lawless RP formula and featuring money-makers made by yours truly, The Big Apple is like nothing you've ever seen before.

The Big Apple is a unique DarkRP experience where you will be able to play among three separate servers each running a separate map!  With data and chat shared among all three, The Big Apple offers one of the largest roleplay experiences on Garry's Mod!

The Big Apple features the trio of gritty New York-themed maps.
  • The Big City is the main server and hosts RP_NYCity, the largest map.
  • South Side is the second server and hosts RP_SouthSide, the middle-sized map.
  • Union City is the third server and hosts RP_UnionCity, the smallest map.
Each map contains tunnels to the other maps that you can walk—or even drive—into to connect to another server.

The gameplay of The Big Apple is similar to STRP from last year but with a number of enhancements.  First and foremost, money is a lot easier to come by.  Care has been taken to to allow nearly every job to generate money without having to rely on any other players.
  • Arms dealers can make use of STGunrunning, previously seen on Gang War RP, to export guns.
  • Mechanics can use their tools to chop up cars and sell their parts.
  • Chemists can use the powder machine from STPowder to refine their drugs for premium sale.
  • Brewmasters can distill moonshine using STMoonshine to mass-produce strong alcohol.
  • Tailors can buy boxes of silkworms and pump out sheets of silk from the new addon STSilk.
  • Botanists can also use STPowder to refine the cocaine from their plants.
  • Tech dealers can buy computers from STHackerWar and steal the government's files.
As you might recognize, most of these addons were previously seen on STAGE 2, Gang War RP, but there's one main difference:  this time, you'll be selling your goods to The Contact, a mysterious individual willing to pay for all of your fine products, but it might not be as simple as it sounds...

Besides that, there are obviously other ways to make money and roleplay at the same time.
  • Mechanics can sell cars to players.  Will you be a sleazy car dealer or an honest salesman?
  • Chemists can sell powerful drugs and heal players, allowing you to play on either side of the law.
  • Brewmasters can sell either alcohol or coffee, using the brand new STCoffeeShop Neu.
  • Tech dealers can sell unique items, such as radios allowing you to use group chat, and cell phones allowing you to text your friends.
  • All players can also, of course, buy items from any other player and take ownership of them so they don't lose them when the buyer disconnects.
  • If all else fails, you can be a simple hot dog salesman using the new Hot Dog Cart or a fisherman with STFishing Neu, both exclusive to The Big Apple.

With all these ways to make money, what will you decide to spend it all on?  You better think fast and move quickly, because you will drop all of your money when you die or disconnect unless you've stored money in an ATM.  Most purchases involving money that disappears into thin air can be made with ATM money, but everything else must be done with cash.

The Big Apple supports however you want to play.  Want to take your in-game life dead seriously?  You can choose to perma-kill your character and create a new one any time you die.  Don't even know what OOC stands for?  Don't worry!  The Big Apple strives to allow all players to play how they want.

And finally, due to the massive scale of this STAGE, The Big Apple will be open for three months instead of the typical STAG Servers one month.  All three servers of The Big Apple will be open from now until the new year, so there's plenty of time to flesh out your character!

There's plenty more I'm sure I've forgotten to mention, so what are you waiting for?  Join The Big Apple now on any of its three servers!  Connect to either stag.sweptthr.one to reach The Big City, stag.sweptthr.one:27016 to reach South Side, or stag.sweptthr.one:27017 to reach Union City.  Hope to see you there!]]> The Big Apple!

STAGE 4 is going to be a three-server roleplay experience where each server will be running a different New York city map: RP_NYCity, RP_SouthSide, and RP_UnionCity, all connected via tunnels around the map with global chat across all three. These servers will essentially be a rerun of STRP from last January with a number of changes to spice things up, mainly the addition of the six addons made for Gang War RP.

And now that it's been revealed, I can also reveal the secret parts of the last few progress reports:
For WPR 266, I worked on server ports that will allow you to walk between servers as well as a new way to display global chat messages. Any OOC chats will show your Steam name colored based on your Steam ID, and in-character chats will show your RP name colored as your set player color.
For WPR 267, I continued the server ports, making them spit you out at the corresponding tunnel on the target map and saving and applying select data, such as health. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory except for the "something relating to dying" which is a perma-kill feature, which will allow you to choose to kill your character permanently when they "die." STAGE 4 is not a serious roleplay server; this will all be explained more when the server releases.
These changes have been updated on my Weekly Progress Reports website.

That's all I'll say for now, but join us when this server launches on October 1st!]]>

Infiltrator is an original stealth-based gamemode set within the sprawling Boreas research facility.  Complete objectives or catch the infiltrator to win!

Infiltrator pits a team of armed guards against a sole, sneaky infiltrator who must enter the facility, complete six objectives, then exfiltrate safely.  With five different classes for the guards to choose among and five different perks for the infiltrator, each round can play out vastly differently from the others.

The infiltrator has access to a handful of perks to help them complete their mission.
  • The Thermal Inlay prevents freezing when outdoors.  Without it, you may experience a slow, cold death out in the arctic hills.
  • The Active Camo, when active, makes you completely invisible when not moving and barely visible when you are.
  • The Extra Ammo does exactly what it says, and grants you double the ammo when you spawn.
  • The Lightweight Armor grants you 10% damage resistance, which might just make the difference between life and death.
  • The Three SLAMs also do exactly what it says, giving you three SLAM explosives to use however you want.
The infiltrator can also choose where they want to approach the facility from, with each spot offering its own benefits.
  • Approach from the Upper Path for the quickest access inside, situated near the Calais Radar Station and the Relay Station.
  • Approach from Zethes Checkpoint to come from below and maybe just find something helpful on the way...
  • Approach from the Ridge Tunnel for a slow, methodical approach, giving you an overhead view of the entire area.
In addition, the infiltrator can find the Jammer stored somewhere in the Calais Radar Station and attach it to either the Relay Station server to intercept the guards' communications, or the security office box to look through the facility's cameras from anywhere.
The infiltrator also has access to Infil-Vision to help them find the objectives and exfiltration points.

To combat this sneaky solo, guards can choose one of the following classes:
  • The Assault class grants a choice of assault rifle and a pistol, with the added bonus of 25% damage resistance.
  • The Medic class grants no primary weapon, but a medkit to aid the rest of your team and choice of pistol.
  • The Officer class grants a choice of SMG and a pistol, and sends you notifications when doors around the facility are interacted with.
  • The Marksman class grants a choice of ranged rifle and a pistol, with the added bonus of having a Thermal Inlay.
  • The Heavy class grants a choice of heavy weapon and a pistol, and resists 50% of damage while also incurring a punishing speed penalty.

There are also a number of special features of weapons to make the gameplay more exciting, such as ballistic bullets being fired from every gun and lethal headshots from all ranges, allowing skilled snipers to show what they're made of.

The infiltrator is outnumbered and outgunned, so they'll have to rely on their stealth skills to make it out alive!

Infiltrator is open now for this month only, so get in while you can!  You can join at any time by connecting to stag.sweptthr.one.  Hope to see you there!]]> Infiltrator!

Infiltrator is an original stealth-based gamemode set within the sprawling Boreas research facility.  Complete objectives or catch the infiltrator to win!

Infiltrator pits a team of armed guards against a sole, sneaky infiltrator who must enter the facility, complete six objectives, then exfiltrate safely.  With five different classes for the guards to choose among and five different perks for the infiltrator, each round can play out vastly differently from the others.

The infiltrator has access to a handful of perks to help them complete their mission.
  • The Thermal Inlay prevents freezing when outdoors.  Without it, you may experience a slow, cold death out in the arctic hills.
  • The Active Camo, when active, makes you completely invisible when not moving and barely visible when you are.
  • The Extra Ammo does exactly what it says, and grants you double the ammo when you spawn.
  • The Lightweight Armor grants you 10% damage resistance, which might just make the difference between life and death.
  • The Three SLAMs also do exactly what it says, giving you three SLAM explosives to use however you want.
The infiltrator can also choose where they want to approach the facility from, with each spot offering its own benefits.
  • Approach from the Upper Path for the quickest access inside, situated near the Calais Radar Station and the Relay Station.
  • Approach from Zethes Checkpoint to come from below and maybe just find something helpful on the way...
  • Approach from the Ridge Tunnel for a slow, methodical approach, giving you an overhead view of the entire area.

  • Added Simple Halo Killstreaks
    • You will now hear a callout and see a message in chat when you're on killstreaks and when you earn multi-kills.
  • Added Halo 2 Reload Indicators
    • You will now see a small icon under your crosshair when your mag is almost empty, when your ammo is low, and when your ammo is gone.
  • Props placed near control points will now fizzle out of existence.
    • This hasn't been an issue yet, but it's a cool effect!

Fixed issues:
Oil drilled from the Industrial Sector is no longer half the quality it should be.
  • This was due to the amount of oil being updated twice but the quality only once.

Selling items from your pocket no longer prevents you from buying more of them.
  • This was due to DarkRP entities not being removed from your "custom entities" list when deleted.

Gangs can now purchase Crypto Miners.
Gangs can now purchase Rifle Crates.
  • These were two things I just forgot, but now you can buy them!

Sectors no longer announce they've been lost if they were never owned in the first place.
  • This was due to points not checking if they were "secure" before being lost.

Other changes:
PTU operators now get a base reward for killing gangsters as well a killstreak reward.
PTU operators now get a notification when they get kill rewards.
  • These changes make playing PTU a little more clear.

Dealers in owned sectors will now always pay out 100% of the value of the items.
Dealers in unowned sectors will now always pay out 33% of the value of the items.
  • Previously, there was a lot of inconsistency with this behavior.  Some dealers paid 100/25, some paid 75/33, some paid 100/33, and some paid 75/25.  It was a mess.  Now all dealers pay out 100/33, which just makes more sense.

Gang War RP is a more coherent spiritual successor to AnkoRP.  Pick among 15 different gangs, each with unique models and names, and fight it out across the streets of Downtown.

Instead of an awkward round-based system where the main objective is to get kills, you must now capture sectors of the map so you can sell your products.  "What will I be selling?" you may ask.  Gang War RP launches with six all new addons for you to play with.
  • GWRP Crypto allows you to buy an upgradable crypto miner and let it ride as long as you want.  Token value changes every minute and you'll have to carry the miner to the dealer, so don't wait too long to sell!
  • STGunrunning gives you the option to craft and sell premium guns.  Make sure to sell in bulk, or else you might just lose money on your investment!
  • STHackerWar gives you the power to steal files from the government and sell them to those interested.  Keep your eye on the network though, because other hackers might want what you have...
  • STPowder allows you to make customizable packs of heroin and cocaine and sell them for a nice price.  Pretty straightforward.
  • STMoonshine lets you set up your own illegal distillery for the strongest alcohol in town.  Keep your distiller full to keep the moonshine flowing!
  • STOilMogul allows you to become a powerful oil tycoon, drilling oil out of the ground.  Keep your filters clean to maximize profits!
Prefer a more legal but morally-questionable way to make money?  Join the Police Tactical Unit and get paid for keeping the city safe!

All gangs can manufacture and sell every product, but care should be taken when selling, as each sector is home to one of the dealers.
  • The Crypto Dealer hangs out in the spawn district, keeping a low profile.
  • The Arms Dealer can be found at the beach, ready to export your guns.
  • The File Dealer hides out in the forest, far away from the government.
  • The Powder Dealer has set up shop in the slums, ready to sell what you bring.
  • The Moonshine Dealer stays around the club district, always ready to party.
  • The Oil Dealer works in the residential district, supplying oil to Pelco.
Only gang leaders can purchase producers, but the number of producers they can buy is based on their gang's size, so get recruiting!
If your gang owns the sector you're selling in, you'll earn substantially more money than if you sell in a rival-owned territory.  Keep in mind, though, the dealers don't work for free, so you might not get the full expected value of what you sell!
But that's not all, the last remaining sectors are special in other ways:
  • The park is where the Gold Dealer waits to take the gold that can be stolen from the bank.
  • The clinic district gives you and your gang passive health regeneration across the whole city if you own it.
  • The industrial district provides a boost to machines, doubling production speed of any producers in the sector.

So what weapons do these fierce street gangs have at their disposal?  Just like AnkoRP, Gang War RP puts the pack of over 600 CS:O weapons in your hands.  Buy the basics and upgrade them at your local gun store.  This time, gun dealers will be responsible for upgrade stations, requiring them to set up shop if they want to keep a stable income.  Gun dealers would be wise to stay within the city square, close to the police department, but maybe the gangs could offer better protection...

Looking at a player from about 30 feet away will cause their name to appear as "A distant terrorist" and will hide health and karma information.  This also applies to the TTT quick radio commands, which is kinda the point of this update.  Since voice is proximity-based but text is not, it would theoretically be very easy to tag and call out a sniping player almost immediately.  Not being able to identify the player will help cut down on this problem, but I have yet another idea.]]>

Blitz TTT is the first installment of SweptThrone Avant Garde Servers, or STAG Servers.  STAG Servers is a series of three weird, wacky, experimental Garry's Mod servers lasting a month each starting today.

Blitz TTT is an experimental TTT server where all traitors must be confirmed dead in order for the round to end early.  Body out of reach?  Guess you'll just have to wait in suspense (or you could just use the binoculars...)!
In addition, round time is halved from five minutes to two and a half, time per kill is halved from 30 seconds to 15, damage and spread are doubled for every weapon, aiming down sights removes all spread at the cost of jumping, gunshots can be heard across a much longer distance, and voice chat is proximity-based.  Blitz TTT also sees the return of one of my favorite mechanics from my past TTT servers, the Fair Loadout System, which allows surviving players to fight in order to keep their weapons into the next round.

Beyond that, the gamemode has been left mostly untouched.  There are no additional random-spawn weapons and only one extra traitor weapon, the Snooper SMG, a prototype SMG that overheats if fired for too long.  It shares its spread and DPS with the MAC-10.

Blitz TTT is also previewing an edit of a map I like, Ocean Town!  This small artificial island in the middle of an ocean is the perfect spot for sniper activity and concealed kills.
