A new update has been pushed out for the TF2 servers, this is the list of changes.- Fixed a bug that was causing the premium effects to stack making weapons have insane abilities.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the overhealing health to be drained as twice as fast as it should.
- Fixed a bug that could cause servers to hang under specific circumstances.
- Fixed a bug that caused the ranking details to not be saved if the total time spent on any NighTeam server was higher than 596 hours.
- The Headless Horsemen Horseman now spawns every 5 minutes on the trade server.
- Fixed a bug making extra teleporter instances unable to find the matching exit rendering them useless.
- Fixed the premium_jump command reseting the wait timer when called while the player is touching the ground.
New Premium Features:- General
- Added the !robot chat command to play as one of the MvM robots including models and sounds.
- Added the !buster chat command to play as a sentry buster, see below for more information.
- Added the !thirdperson command to toggle the third person camera on and off.
- Engineer
- Added the ability to build bidirectional teleporters, allowing the entrance to be used as an exit and the exit as an entrance.
Information about the Robot and Sentry Busters
This update implements the "play as robot" feature requested by several players at our forums, along with this, i also took the time to implement a new feature to play as a sentry buster.
You can type "!buster" in the chat or "premium_buster" in the console to spawn as a sentry buster, as a sentry buster you can kill both people and engineers buildings by either taunting or clicking the attack button.
Players are restricted to one sentry buster every 5 minutes, there's no limit on how many players of the same team can become a sentry buster.
Sentry busters have 500 draining health points and deals an insane amount of damage, you can destroy premium teleporters with the blink of an eye.
I hope you guys like the new features and bug fixes, have fun and keep fragging! |

A new update for the NighTeam TF2 Plugin has been released, this is the list of changes.- Fixed a bug that was causing the Wrangled Sentries to stay disabled for some seconds when the sentry wasn't player controlled anymore.
- Reduced by 60% the damage dealt by bots to human players.
- Added the !items chat command to display the new item customization menu.
- Added the "premium_setcolor" console command to apply a custom color to any paintable item.
- Server will enable instant spawn again when 24 humans are online.
New Premium feature: Ability to customize your items
With this update i have added the ability for premium players to customize their items by painting them using any of the available cans or to attach particle effects to them.
Painting is only available on the items who are actually allowed to be painted (Most hats and some misc items), however, attaching particles is allowed for every single item.
In order to customize your items you first need to type !items in the game chat to bring the items menu, you will be displayed the list of your currently equiped items, select one and then select the option you want.
Customizations are saved so they're loaded again the next time you play on any of the NighTeam TF2 servers, something to note, is that if you have X amount of the same item, the effects only will apply to the one you currently have equiped (If you have, lets say 3 Natashas, only one of them will be customized, in order to customize another one you need to equip it).+
New Server: DOOMSDAY
I have added also a new server to NighTeam running the Doomsday map, right now is only available in Europe but USA location will be added soon, this is the server ips:- EU DOOMSDAY: 94.23.17.225:27015
I hope you guys enjoy those changes, have fun!
NOTE: Update is only live in EU servers, US ones will be updated tomorrow. |

Since the MvM update servers have been really unstable because of Valve bugs left to fix, servers crash alot usually when they're almost full, there's also another bug that makes client get stuck at the "Retrieving server information" step when connecting, this is also due a Valve bug, its a general issue reported by server admins so is not isolated to NighTeam.
Hopefully all of this issues will be addressed this monday when Valve gets to work.
Sorry for the issues and happy fragging! |

With the recently released MvM TF2 update i had to update also the NighTeam plugin to fix several issues, this is the changelog.- Fixed issues making the server unstable after the MvM update.
- Fixed bots compatibility issues with MvM robots.
- Fixed items getting strange boosts.
- Fixed not being able to build more than 1 normal sentry.
- Added the command "premium_toggledisposable" to toggle between normal/mini sentries and disposable sentries (This works both inside MvM and outside it.
- Replaced the NGT Vanilla servers with MvM servers as vanilla servers were empty most of the time.
Note about MvM servers:
I will keep MvM servers for a few weeks/months, they aren't permanent. MvM servers takes the same resources of a 32 FULL player server but providing 6 playable slots so they're a waste of server resources, once the MvM player base decreases NighTeam will probably have 1 or 2 MvM servers for each region, until that, we have 4 servers in each region (Probably gonna add more today/soon).
Have fun! |

A new update has been published for NighTeam Servers, right now the update is live only on EU servers but US servers will be updated tomorrow, this is the list of changes.
- Implemented the !mute chat command allowing individual users to mute the chat and microphone of other players.
- Implemented a system to add moderators to individual games.
- Fixed some weapons added in recent updates not getting the premium walk speed bonus.
- Fixed the strange sticky launcher and the sticky jumper getting 8 instead of 16 bombs.
- Fixed the liberty launcher not getting 6 rockets.
- Fixed The Bazaar Bargain not getting instant shot charge.
The new mute system:
NighTeam already have a mute system but is only in use for moderators, however our moderators can't be online 24/7 to keep our servers clean for annoying and problematic players so i ended up creating this system.
The !mute command displays a menu in which you can manage which people you can read and hear in the entire NighTeam community servers.
If a player is annoying you and you don't want to hear his microphone or read his chat anymore, you can mute him and forget about him, of course you will still be playing with him but you won't know anything that he says.
The mute list is individual, that means that it only applies for you, there's no way to know if you have been muted by a specific player or that if he's simply ignoring you.
I hope this new system allow players to enjoy more our servers.
Have fun! |

A new update has been pushed out for our TF2 Servers, this is the changelog
- Implemented a system to avoid mini-sentry spam.
- Stability fixes.
Anti MiniSentry spam system
I've implemented a system to avoid or atleast decrease the mini sentry spam problem that some of our servers experience.
You can build 4 mini sentries without any penalty, once you build 4 minisentries in your life and one of them is destroyed, you will need to wait 30 seconds since the time of the sentry destroy to be able to build other minisentry.
Timers are reset on each spawn, note that this ONLY applies to mini sentries, normal sentries are unafected.
Notes:
Im aware of the wrangler bug with multi sentries, i need to find a fix for it but it will take time as is not something easy (lots of hacks have to be done in order to achieve that system), also, this update is only on the EU servers for now, US servers will be updated tomorrow.
Happy fragging! |

I promised a while ago to add vanilla servers to NighTeam, so here they are!
So far there's 4 US only vanilla servers, EU servers will be online soon.
The server is located at Phoenix, AZ in a attempt to give better latencies to Asia & US West coast players, however latency across US should be fine overall.
This is the list of the IP's.
- US VANILLA CTF -> 23.19.43.50:27015
- US VANILLA CP -> 23.19.43.50:27016
- US VANILLA KOTH -> 23.19.43.50:27017
- US VANILLA PL -> 23.19.43.50:27018
Servers run each map of each game type for 30 minutes before changing to the next one, based on the popularity of vanilla maps i'll add dedicated vanilla servers for them, for example if vanilla 2fort is pretty popular i'll add a vanilla 2fort 24/7 instead of rotate over all of the CTF Maps
Enjoy! |

A new update has been pushed out for the NighTeam website along with important payment changes, this is the list of changes.
- Added the Allopass payment method, see below for further details.
- Changed the PayPal payment webpage now supporting packages to save money on long term premium subscriptions
- Added the "View Subscriptions" button in the "Account Details" page at the NighTeam portal to see all the PayPal subscriptions status. (Only applies to subscriptions created since this update)
- Added the ability to stack packages, now you can renew your account and add the days to your current expiration date, for example you can buy 2 180 days packages and have 360 days of premium.
- Added the CSS servers to the "Server List" page.
- Added the option to change the active currency in the PayPal packages page.
PayPal Packages- Basic - 30 Days - 3.99€
- Bronze - 60 Days - 6.99€
- Silver - 90 Days - 9.99€
- Golden - 180 Days - 19.99€
Allopass Information:
Allopass is the new payment method implemented in NighTeam, it accepts alot of different payment types, from SMS payments, Call2Pay, E-Wallets, Credit card and more.
Depending on the selected payment method at Allopass you will be selected with a set of days packages, usually they're more expensive than buying it via PayPal because the comissions are much higher.
If you see any errors on the new features please let me know so i can fix it asap.
Thanks. |

I guess that most of the players of NighTeam noticed a huge drop in players in the last two months, this has been mainly because the enforcement of server rules by Valve which has forced us to disable the QuickPlay traffic (The "Start Playing" button in the game main menu) as NighTeam servers isn't elegible for it due the configuration we use, the main concern is the Instant/Fast spawn feature.
We understand that one of the main reasons people plays at NighTeam is because of the fast respawn times, however, we actually need to disable them in order to receive traffic from Quickplay which would allow to fill some servers faster and get back some of the players who have left NighTeam because of servers being empty.
Since i actually don't want to completly remove instant spawn from NighTeam, thanks to a forum member I've been thinking of a way to still have instant respawn on servers and also receive QuickPlay traffic, the rules are simple.
- Servers who have less than 24 players will have normal stock respawn times.
- When a server reaches 24 or more players, instant spawn is enabled for all players
- When the instant respawn is enabled because of the above rule, the QuickPlay traffic is disabled
- Once the server reaches 24 players for the first time, instant spawn will still be enabled even if the server drops below 24 players (This is subject to change), this rule resets every 24 hours.
I hope that players understand that those measures are needed or else we will end with completely empty servers and at the end you won't be able to enjoy a good gaming experience at NighTeam, changes will be applied starting tomorrow, first on EU servers and later on US servers.
Sincerely, Lambda, Administrator of NighTeam. |

I am in the process of restructuring the internal backend of NighTeam to add support for new games, games which i plan to add in the near future are:- Counter Strike: Source (Probably CS:GO too when its released)

All of the games will feature premium benefits which are yet to be decided, L4D Servers will feature SuperVersus (min 8 vs 8). |
