http://terminalshell.com Latest News from the Terminal Shell homepage Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:02:03 GMT en-us http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=270 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=270 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:42:59 GMT As per a suggestion by rawr, the site theme is now completely customizable in color. Your preferences panel now has two textboxes: Site Theme and Link Colors. These accept a hexidemical color code, and your theme will be set according to these values.A few notes about the new system...List:* You can keep the default theme by clearing the textboxes* Links and panels can be different colors* It is recommended to have each RGB value at least 05* For very low values, you may have some unexpected results* The default green theme is 03420d* The default blue theme is 031d42* The default red theme is 2f0305The new post boxes still use the default green. I will get these updated to work with the new theme system sometime this weekend. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=264 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=264 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:00:47 GMT The following members have been dropped due to inactivity:List:* Philliam* P4r4d0x* Bremmy* Andrew91092* HotdogIf you are on this list and wish to keep your membership, send me a message before Sunday. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=261 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=261 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:56:20 GMT I fixed the notification settings to actually function, and fixed a bug where some privacy settings would not take effect.In addition, under the Profile section I added a Site Theme option. You can now view the site in default green, blue, red, silver, or black.I also updated the way thread views are saved, so you might notice a small decrease in page loads when viewing threads. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=241 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=241 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:02:01 GMT I packed all the ZS maps into a compressed zip archive, so you don't have to spend time waiting for maps to download in game.Download it from http://terminalshell.com/download.php?f=5 and unzip it to your garrysmod maps folder. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=237 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=237 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:31:05 GMT As someone pointed out, the RSS feed was broken for a while. Turns out there was an extra piece of HTML being added at the end where it shouldn't have been. With the removal of this piece, it should be working again, however you may need to reload your RSS reader. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=236 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=236 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:10:28 GMT It's time to announce the admin recruits who have successfully endured recruitment, and have qualified for the administrator position.Please congratulate the following users on their promotion:List:* Short* Rbahn* Tmr1228* RawrGood work guys! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=233 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=233 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:41:49 GMT Terminal Shell is recruiting, and our applications are online and working.

So, if you could simply head over to the Settings panel, and reenter your birthday, that would be pretty cool.Also, if you come across any other bugs, please report them in Problem HQ http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=206 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=206 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:55:02 GMT The RSS feed is back online, however its URL has changed.You may now find it at the following address:http://terminalshell.com/rss http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=201 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=201 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:18:21 GMT The donor benefits should be fixed now, however due to the data migration process, your settings will probably have been wiped. To get them back, log in, go to settings, then click on the InGame Button. Set your hats and weapons how you want them, then hit save, and you're done! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=193 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=193 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:39:25 GMT The website has been updated!I know it may not look too different, but it should now run a bit more smoothly, and there are certain aspects that you'll notice have been given an extreme makeover.That said, the site will continue to be in beta for the next week or so. There will probably be at least a few bugs here and there, so if you find any, please report them on the forums, so I can fix them.Here's some new or upgraded features to check out:List:* Settings Menu has been updated extensively!* Downloads has been upgraded by allowing you to upload private files!* Donations are now processed instantly!* Private messaging has been implmented!* New threads form is easier to use!* Registration form has been updated!Go give em a try! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=171 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=171 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:44:29 GMT There have been two changes to the punishment process for admins. The first being any hacking or botting is a 1 day ban on the first offence, with the second offence being a permaban. The second rule change is that the 3rd offence of map glitching is a 1 day ban, with the fourth offence dropped.Check out the rules here: http://terminalshell.com/download.php?f=1 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=149 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=149 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:39:57 GMT I have noticed a bit of disrespect towards current administrators. This is all I will say on the matter. Administrators have my authority to represent me while I am not here. Whether you agree with my decision or not is irrelevant. If you have a problem with one of them, talk to me about it.That being said, I am promoting the following to Admin Recruit. Please reply as to whether you accept or deny. Any outbursts as to why a person does not deserve adminship will not be tolerated.List:* Short* Rbanh* Tmr1228* RawrYou will go through the process of admin recruitment should you choose to accept, wherein if you are a responsible admin, you will be given full admin rights. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=134 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=134 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 21:41:04 GMT In light of recent events, I would like to make a statement. Nickzip has been out of line in his actions an administrator. The "undercover cop" thing has gone a little too far. He has been dealt with, so please stop harassing him. Secondly, no player other than clan members have any authority on our servers, and whether or not they are recording anything is irrelevant, and they have every right to do so, since they are playing the game. Again, however, they have no authority in the server. Thirdly, let's talk about the language and music issues. Language is only an issue if the person using the language is told to stop due to another player on the server who feels offended. If that is the case, then language is an issue. General use isn't a problem, unless it gets out of line. Language in jest is acceptable, so long as it is not overdone. Music over mic is considered acceptable so long as a majority in the server agree to hear it. If a majority agree, and you disagree, Quote:1.) Esc 2.) Player List 3.) Person's Name 4.) Mute This should clear up a few things. In addition, I am redoing the chain of command as I type this, and am considering new administrator. Nominating yourself will not improve your chances of attaining admin. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=119 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=119 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:38:51 GMT For those of you who fancy Counter Strike, Terminal Shell now has a Counter Strike: Source Gungame Server. Check it out under the Servers page! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=117 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=117 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:44:48 GMT I'm doing some upgrades to melee weapons. Each having special properties, and such, and well as making some new weapons. First up, the frying pan. Now when you right-click, you will eat some food, and gain 10 HP. Can only be used once every 120 seconds. EDIT: Added the pot. Rightclick for 10 armor. See post for more info. Keep up with this thread for more updates thoughout the week. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=116 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=116 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:01:03 GMT This goes out to all players with siblings who share accounts. If your sibling is using your account, and aimbots, or spams, or does anything else to get your account banned, simply stating it was a sibling is not sufficient to get unbanned. Your account will stay banned. So either ensure that your sibling will not do anything to ruin your name, or get them their own account. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=108 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=108 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:17:58 GMT I have posted the admin guide under downloads. This will serve as a rulebook for all administrators, and also contains basic player rights for all players who play on our servers. Note that this also contains requirements for consideration as an admin, and also as a recruit. EDIT: Note that any member with any administrative abilities should abide by these rules. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=106 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=106 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 02:59:32 GMT First off, today I am taking time to set down a new ruleset, do some promotions, make changes to servers, etc. So there will be a lot of activity throughout the day. Second, I would like to address something that has been somewhat of an issue as of late, in the field of rules. As far as the forums and the game servers go, there are a specific list of rules that have been posted (and soon to be revised). These rules are the basics set down as a guideline of how to behave. However, any administrator has the right to instate any rule they wish to make. Yes, ANY rule. Could this be a ridiculous rule that leads to the oppression of the players? Yes, it very well could. And then the admin that instated the rule would be sent packing. Therefore, the rule for rules is this: (in three parts) 1. Any posted rule must be followed. 2. Any rule that an admin has instated must be followed. 3. Any player may appeal a rule set by an admin to a higher authority. The final decision rests with the Clan Owners. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=99 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=99 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:49:27 GMT Due to strain on the server, the player limit has been decreased from 32 to 28. The game is usually playable with 28 people on, but not 32, so this should reduce lagg on a full server. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=95 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=95 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:15:07 GMT I have a download system in BETA. Try it out. Here's how it works: * Upload a file and it goes under User Downloads * After 7 days, it will be removed * If an admin deems the file useful, they can add it to the Public Downloads section and it won't be deleted. Enjoy! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=92 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=92 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:55:32 GMT As some of you may have noticed, I have been MIA for quite some time, the reason for which being the end of the semester, end of the year holidays, and no internet at my current place of residence. After the holidays I will be on quite a bit more. A few things I plan on getting done once I get back are: * Revising some code on the website * Launching a few new website features * Cleaning up the ZS code * Polishing the ZS UI * MAYBE adding some new features to ZS (unlikely, I'll tell you why later) * Starting work on a brand new gamemode * Actually playing again for a change (I know, right?!?) Thanks to everyone who has been around over the last few weeks. An extra special thanks to all of our donors. See you soon, and Happy Holidays! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=72 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=72 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:46:12 GMT Repairs are done, and some extra security has been added. So feel free to slay zombies till your eyeballs fall out. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=70 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=70 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:11:55 GMT So, as most of you are no doubt aware, the server has been made the play thing of 13 year old script kiddies who have downloaded some sort of exploit off of the internet. A fix has been found, but will take some time to fully implement and repair the damage. Unfortunately, this means that for most of the day of Sunday, December 6, the ZS server will be offline while being repaired. Sorry for the downtime, but it should deter future exploits. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=67 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=67 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:24:56 GMT The ZS server has been updated after a recent attack. Please report any bugs you fund under Problem HQ. Also added quite a few new maps. Try them out! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=61 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=61 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:29:48 GMT This is a message to all users with in-game admin. I will inform you that all your actions are logged, whether or not another admin is on, and if you are found to be abusing your powers in any way, you will be removed from your current position. So play nice :) http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=55 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=55 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:28:36 GMT Here is an update to the donor and member benefits. * Donor benefits stay the same * Member benefits have been removed, except for hats, and immunity. * Recruit benefits have been removed. What does this mean? It means that in order for members to get weapon loadouts and the HP bonus, they have to donate, just like everyone else. This includes admins. It also means that recruits don't get anything. More incentive to behave and become a full member. All in-game commands remain unchanged. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=41 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=41 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:29:06 GMT The server status page is online. Check out how each server we own is doing, and even connect to it with a single click. Go check it out. Click on the Servers link in the nav bar. http://terminalshell.com/servers.php http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=39 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=39 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:48:31 GMT The news page now has an RSS feed associated with it for all of you news people out there. http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=37 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=37 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:22:54 GMT Our teamspeak server is up and online. All current members should be in TS when in game. This will start to be enforced rather heavily, so don't forget. IP: 75.102.47.7:8769 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=35 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=35 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:53:44 GMT The old ZS server from before the giant maintenance work is now online. So you can go back to fighting off those hoard's of undead with nothing but the guns in your hands and your friends at your sides. Use this link to connect, or go to the IP 74.63.54.22:27016. I will be making a server status page soon. steam://connect/74.63.54.22:27016 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=33 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=33 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:45:12 GMT We now have a new steam group to go with the new site. This one will be updated, as the old steam group was run by loading... who is on an extended leave of absence. Check out our steam group! http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=28 http://terminalshell.com/viewthread.php?id=28 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:04:44 GMT Hello, and welcome to the new terminal shell. The new site is now online and functional. Although there are a few features that haven't been implemented yet, most of the planned features are working. All users must register an account if they wish to have their level recorded. The site levels are what will be used on all Terminal Shell services, so if you aren't on here, you aren't anywhere. Returning users will need to create a new account, and I will set you to the level you are supposed to be. Keep in mind that this is still in beta, and therefore there may be some bugs lying around. Report them in the forums and I'll get around to fixing them. If you have a feature you want added, post it, and I'll see what I can do.
