We need a sign to tell people not to use custom content (ie heads)

Post by BegoneThoth » Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:10 am

Seen a lot of people w/o heads (or other body parts) in the newbie areas. When I mention it they all say they're using the CEP.

We need some PSA about this in Entry so people no to disable all workshop content before playing.

Possibly need to make a script on entry that checks if their head model is outside the default vanilla range; if so change it to a default one and give them a message about it. They can change it to another vanilla one later from DM help . Not sure if this is possible though in nss.

if we post in Beamdog forums Steam and other social media pages it will work better than a sign that might not be read

I would assume people join due to the server being the most populous on the list and not due to social media.

Which is why a sign or script in entry would be better.

There shouldn't need to be a sign to inform people. We can likely do a check to revert head changes above a certain model number back to a default one so it appears. But, it shouldn't be a stop to using custom content (people would assume all overrides).

Please also leave the official announcing on other medias to the administrative team.

Thank you.

It is possible! I've done it before for another server.
