What happened to FL?

[Pollux]

What is the point of discussing if EVERY SINGLE member has the answer already? And no, Joe joe, An update is not just an update. If you don't have anything useful to add don't add it. Having updates just for the sake of having an update is meaningless and quite frankly f'cking stupid. Yes, the clocks ARE f'Cking stupid. And it doesn't matter what people think because at the end of the day we all know it is USELESS.

It was an approved suggestion that I implemented, it didn't take much time at all as I used the stormfox clocks and just simply edited them to work with the gamemode. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's useless, any approved suggestion is going to get added eventually. You're forgetting i'm just a contributor, i'm very limited in what I can actually do for the server right now. The clock update was also nice for me to get familiar with how adding items works. I feel like i've had a nice balance of updates, with some like the recent associate update being very asked for and many people are finding it quite useful.

Just to reiterate, Pollux. You're doing a great job as someone who has just recently been promoted to contributor. And I actually really like the idea of more updates, and I like your drive and motivation to pump all these approved suggestions out. But you have to remember that the more content added, the more buildup and eventually even worse FPS and stabilization that we will have on the server. Take LL for example, it pumps updates out so often that my game crashed nearly every time I join or play.

Again, I appreciate what your doing and I am very happy that you are motivated to do all of this, but if you really sit there and think about what we can do for FL after reading all of the replies on this thread, do you really think adding clocks and metal detectors is the way to go? Again, I know it was hard work and I am grateful for what you're trying to do here, but just try to have a third person perspective on this development situation and ask yourself if doing what you are is best to benefit FL long term whilst still keeping a relatively stabilized gamemode?

I promise you optimisation has been a major major factor in every update i've rolled out. I re-wrote the weed dealer from scratch to increase performance as his code was very unoptimised beforehand, the metal detectors I made sure the entity detection would not waste server time detecting non-players or too many players at once. The clock update was already on the server, I think that's what people are missing. Admins could spawn it in, I just made it so players can too. I play gov/criminal a ton, I know how it feels to have poor FPS in a gunfight.
