Modification of the Month #20 - October 2024
Welcome back to Modification of the Month where if you placed bets on how late I'd be this time around, you all owe me money! I'm now 1 moneys richer (Thank you one person who knows these blogs exist)!!!
We're entering the final phases of the first phase of the overhaul project. This project will be modernizing critical backend infrastructure and mod tools, while also removing the cage that the modern server software landscape has placed around me. Please help me.
This is a major change to the servers and there will be a decent bit of downtime involved to get everything in place, reconnect all the thangs, and make sure it all works properly. We're hoping it will be sometime during November, but in any case we'll provide you with plenty of heads up.
And since this is the tech blog, this is where I'll repeat what the HAdmins have shared in discord. Please do not contact any of the TAdmins directly for each bug you find. Please make a modreq and we'll load it into a new system we have to keep my pebble of a brain from forgetting it exists.
Additionally, until this big overhaul is released, bug fixes will no longer be put out for any of the servers unless they're genuinely critical. That doesn't mean you shouldn't report them to us, though! Phase 2 will be a lot of bug fixing and I'll need whatever you come across. Just make sure to provide as much information in these modreqs as you can.
