I updated a bunch of stuff on several of the game-servers to the newest versions, such as:

• MetaMod:Source (to version 1.11.0, Git 1148) link[www.sourcemm.net]
  
• SourceMod (to version 1.11.0, Git 6917) link[www.sourcemod.net]
  
• SteamWorks (to version 1.2.4 for SW version 1.5.5) link[github.com]
  
• SteamGroupAdmins plugin (SteamWorks variant, version 1.3.0) link[forums.alliedmods.net]

Hopefully this should resolve any issues with members of the appropriate Steam Group(s) from being granted expected in-game permissions, such as:

• Vote commands (for members)
  
• Various in-game custom features (for members, such as 3rd person, etc.)
  
• Kick/ban/gag commands (for admins/moderators)

The "Orange" TF2 server is now configured to run just the Christmas/Holiday-themed map - probably for the rest of this calendar year. The this map features various Christmas or other Winter Holiday-themed or adjacent music.

Please note, this is the [Saphe] "Orange" TF2 server, NOT the "Salt-Mine" TF2 server (which is also running a Holiday-themed map right now).

• Name (on server list): = [Saphe] TF2: Orange
  
• Connect (by IP address) = 162.248.88.40:6305, or
  
• Connect (by FQDN) = Games.Saphe.Space:6305
  
• Connect (via Steam URL) =
  
  steam://connect/Games.Saphe.Space:6305

Here is a video of what this map looks like:

The CS:GO server was down since Valve released an update the other day that broke SourceMod[www.sourcemod.net]. SourceMod[www.sourcemod.net] on the server has been updated, and the server is back on-line again.

• Name (on server list): = [Saphe] CS:GO: Cosplay-Strike
  
• Connect (by IP address) = 162.248.88.40:6327, or
  
• Connect (by FQDN) = Games.Saphe.Space:6327
  
• Connect (via Steam URL) =
  
  steam://connect/Games.Saphe.Space:6327

I just posted a video showing all the different custom player models available in our TF2 servers:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2863086009

Using this feature is easy:

• If you are not already a member, join this Steam Group.
  
• You must be a member of the group to use this custom feature.
  
• Connect to either of our TF2 servers (see here for server info).
  
• Join either team (you must be joined to a team to use this feature).
  
• Select a class (you must select a class, because models are class-specific).
  
• Within the in-game chat, enter the command "!equip" (or "/equip")
  
• You can also bind a key to "equip".
  
• For each class, there are several custom models available.

Custom player models available include:

• Players as Robots
  
• Players as Puppets
  
• Female Players
  
• Touhou (Anime) Characters
  
• Mentlegen (Spy)
  
• Heavy-Bear (Heavy)

Posted announcements in both these Steam Communities regarding the launch of [Saphe.Space]:

• Freaks & Misfits
  
• Weasel's Lair's Regulars

This more Family-Friendly / Kid-Safe community has its own servers (some formerly [F+M]). All prior [F+M] members are invited to join, and if they actually play on those servers, they may be made moderators on those as well. Eventually [Saphe.Space] will have its own separate set of moderators - probably with a lot of continued overlap with [F+M].

Those who follow my new YouTube, have probably already seen some updated videos featuring the servers that have been re-branded from [F+M] to [Saphe].

The major difference between [F+M] (which will continue to exist) and [Saphe] is that all the adult, obscene or explicit stuff has been removed from the [Spahe] servers - and such things will not be permitted in those servers, the Steam community or the related Discord server.
