Server Update - 9/13/17

The points update is here!

• MAJOR Surf Timer Update:
  • Bonus points halved across the board. As widely discussed, bonuses have been overweighted since the beginning. The fact that you could gain more points from a few bonuses, than completing a map, was a bit ridiculous. Farming bonuses was becoming a common way of unfairly climbing the ranks, this has seem to put a reasonable end to it.
  • Stage points implemented! Here is the points breakdown:
    • Rank 1: 100 pts
    • Rank 2: 75 pts
    • Rank 3: 55 pts
    • Rank 4: 40 pts
    • Rank 5: 30 pts
    • Rank 6: 25 pts
    • Rank 7: 20 pts
    • Rank 8: 15 pts
    • Rank 9: 12 pts
    • Rank 10: 10 pts
    • Any Rank: 5 pts
  • Side HUD Added. You can turn it on in your surf timer settings - shows map, WR, your PB (if applicable), WRCP, and your current stage record.
  • All teleport commands are now throttled, and displays a message if firing the command too fast.
  • Several more phrases fixed & additions
  • Fixed issue where sometimes players names weren't saved properly when completing a map time
  • TONS of timer fixes & optimizations.
• Added surf_fathom (T3 Linear)
• Added surf_illumination (T3 Linear)
• Added surf_telstar (T3 Linear)

With the next significant timer update, I'm aiming to add more informational panels (# of stage/bonus records, which ones, total # of stages/maps/bonuses completed, etc). As always, if there are issues, please use the forum to report them, if it is something absolutely critical feel free to send me a PM, discord message, steam message, etc.

Second round of updates (~6:30pm EST & later):

• Fixed practice/saveloc phrases not being loaded properly, therefore probably fixing the functions entirely if they were broken post-update
• Fixed players from not always teleporting to the start zone upon map change
• Players are now ordered in the scoreboard by points, old system required a rank recalculation before being in the proper order (WHY)
• Timer no longer unnecessarily slays players switching teams
• Fixed spec list for those who do not have the side HUD enabled, but spec list enabled
• Re-zoned surf_commune_again_beta5
• Added bonus to surf_the_gloaming_rat

Someone was farming bonuses and not completing stages!
