Sleeping Knights

Server is back online

With the latest TF2 update breaking Sourcemod, we had to turn the server off while we waited for a fix. Now that a new build has beed released, everything is back up and running

During the break we also decided to make some improvements. Lilac (Little Anti-Cheat) is now the main anti-cheat we are gonna be using.

If you notice any issues please let us know, either by chat in game, or by email. Enjoy :3

Server Temporarily Down

Valve just dropped a new TF2 update, and unfortunately, it completely broke Sourcemod, which is needed to run plugins.

Right now, we are waiting for Sourcemod team to fix the issue. As soon as Sourcemod is updated we will bring the server back online.

Thanks for your patience.

Cubemap Fix

We are happy to announce that the cubemaps for our map have been fixed, which means no more extremely bright reflections. All surfaces should now display correctly for everyone.

Previously we attempted to fix this issue, but the fix only worked on certain PC configurations. Now the update has been tested on both different hardware and different operating systems.

"Your map differs from the server's" error.

If you encounter the Your map differs from the server's error while connecting, that means you have downloaded a testing version of the map. To fix this you should go to:
Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps
and delete the achievement_idle_skbox_v36.bsp file before you try connecting to the server.

Thank you for your patience and if you encounter any further issues please do let us know.

Map Update Announcement

We are releasing new, updated version of the map.

So here's what's new:

Players who jump or get pushed off map will no longer instantly die. Instead they will be teleported to a different location, making resized pyros less annoying.
We've also fixed issues with cubemaps and weapon reflections, which were too bright compared to the surrounding area.
Finally we've updated names of some textures to make it easier to identify what we're working with.

As always thank you for your feedback and enjoy those changes.

Server Rules Update & Hate Speech Prevention

Rules

To start off this announcement post, we'd like to inform everyone that we've made updates to our server rules. We strongly encourage all players to review the updated rules, as they are in place to ensure a positive and respectful gaming environment for everyone.
These updates are designed to help foster a community where players can enjoy the game without dealing with any form of harmful behavior.

Fighting Hate Speech with the AutoGag System

To fight hate speech, we've previously introduced an automatic harmful message flagging system that requires manual review by our staff team. But now, to ensure quicker action, we are launching the AutoGag system.
This new system is designed to maintain a respectful atmosphere in the community, and it will automatically take action against those who violate our guidelines, helping us maintain a respectful and enjoyable environment for all.

How the plugin works:

Plugin monitors chat for hateful language and applies gag to players who violate our rules.
Once a player is gaged they can't use chat for 2 hours.
Repeat offenders will face further penalties, as stated in our updated server rules.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a positive experience for all players.

New Features and Enhancements

We're excited to announce that our website and server map have received significant updates, all designed to enhance your experience and keep things fresh.
With visual improvements and a more polished layout, these changes are all based on player feedback to ensure a smoother, more immersive experience. So here's what's new:

Announcement Posts

We are introducing announcement posts. From now on, we'll be posting important updates, news, and other server-related announcements directly on the website.
This will make it easier for everyone to stay informed about changes on our server.
You can find latest post here, and all other posts here.

Leaderboards Moved to a Separate Page

As a part of optimization process we have decided to move leaderboards to a separate page. We want the main page to be more clean, and better organized.
This ensures that the main page remains uncluttered, while still giving you quick and easy access to see who's leading the way on the server.
The current location of leaderboards is here.

Server Map Update

In response to what players have asked for, we've updated the skybox to a less bright one and adjusted the lighting. We have also replaced several textures around the map.
These updates are designed to enhance the visual experience and make the gameplay even more enjoyable.

Thanks for being part of our community, and we look forward to bringing you more improvements soon!

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
