Lag Problem Solved

Yo batangs,

Good news is that Agentcy's server is now lag free, alive and kick-ing ass. We're in the middle of setting up the necessary mods, adding more, more and more fun map and also, RTD :).

The bad news is that, our dear beloved Agent B is leaving for Germany at 4pm today. We are so gonna miss all the sniping and chop chops he gave us. So, on behalf of the Agents, i would like to thank you for being such a wonderful agent and a great friend. So can't wait till August that we could hang out again. Take Care~

FYI, K has been furious at me for the whole week because i had our server reformatted without having a backup copy of server's config file and all those mods. My bad~ Pls don't spike my food when i meet you next week for lunch. Lol.

And now, a message from Agent C

" Well folks, they say all good things come to an end, and i have to say, i feel bummed out.In case you didnt know, as of today, i am retiring from my agent duties. Why? well, i'll be away, six months to be exact. I'm starting my training in berlin. You guys should know by know, what my chosen profession is. Its been what... Half a year? since i joined most of you wankers back at vpn? We had some fun times ehh. The laughing, the crockets, the fires, the laughing again, the swearing and the amount of time i abuse my new found admin powers. It's really been a ride, one that i would go on anyday but as they say, this is my stop. I'm hanging my pyro suit and backburner yo, so you guys can stop jumping in the water. Let me just wrap this up by saying, K, X, L, You guys make one hell of a server, and im glad i met you idiots back in the vpn days, im glad i was there when it started. Dont you dare end it before i get back. This is Agent...no, This is Chefselecta Signing off for the last time. See you guys in august, And i'll catch you on the flipside.
P/S: and for old times sake. I HAVE A PLAN, IT'LL WORK THIS TIME I SWEAR. OKOK THE PLAN IS THIS. GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!! NYEAYEYAYAYA.......Ok it HAD potential.

New Server IP - FINAL!

Just to let you guys know that our final server IP is now at:

119.110.101.112:27015

Just save this address first as we install TF2. You'll know it when it's ready, we'll be in-game.

** UPDATE ** Server is now up and running! Enjoy.

Server Installation in Process

Yo Fellas,

Good news is that server has already been relocated. And we had a full time IT engineer standing by in the datacenter to aid us out if our server's network encounter any problem. They are in the process of OS installation and other server based softwares.

Although they are taking some time in getting things done, but i'll make sure that they'll do a slow and steady job. And we do really PRAY that the lag problem between TMNUT and their higher tier network would be solved by this relocation.

I'll Update again when all is ready and we're going live again.

See you guys in a jiffy.

Cheers.

Server Relocation 2

Quick announcement to let everyone know that we've temporarily shut down the Agentcy and have relocated the server to its new datacentre location in Brickfields. This will be our last relocation exercise, and with this, we hope that lag-be-gone.

I believe X will need time to set-up the server, as we're going to be installing tf2 from scratch, but I might be able to get a temporary copy of tf2 running while we perform installation of a new copy. Will keep you guys posted.

Lag Problem Identified

We've identified the real source of our lag and jerkiness issue, and our datacentre informs us that TMNet is experiencing core network problems, leading to packet loss and severe bandwidth issues. While I don't know the full extent of this problem, or why is it that the problem only seems to affect our datacentre, we've been advised that recovery time will take SIX hours.

Beyond our control, so we'll be hoping that we can bring Agentcy back up tonight. This has been a long and tiring issue, and we've been at it for many weeks. Hopefully, we've identified the real cause of the issue, and now it's up to TMNet to fix their shit. Feel free to send them hate mail. I know I will.

New Server IP!

We've migrated to a new datacentre location, and as such, our server's IP is now:

202.75.35.238

Get rid of the old one, that's never coming back again. We're still conducting tests on this new server location, and we'll evaluate if this migration is working out.

Server Downtime - Installing TF2

We'd like to inform everyone that Agentcy will be unavailable, possibly until this afternoon. While we've made the upgrade to a new server, we've been using the old copy of TF2. We are now in the process of downloading a completely fresh copy of TF2, which we intended to do anyway as we create Agentcy 1 and 2.

Our lag issue is still being addressed by our datacentre, but being the useless twats that they are, they are taking their time, so we're hoping a clean and lean copy of TF2 might help in the meantime. If the server's not back online, we're probably in the midst of installing and updating it, so hold onto your panties, it'll be back sometime today.

Thanks for being patient, we'll be back before you know it.

** UPDATE - 5:20PM ** Server update is still in progress. Anyone who's ever had the misfortune of updating TF2 from scratch will know what I mean. Steam server connection is rather slow, next post update will be to announce that our server is back up

Agents Outing 6-Feb-09

Finally, the Agents met for the first time. B, C, K, L, and me plus Ooity and also kclee2002. Its practically quite funny for us to meet L, ooity and kclee cause we have no idea how they look like. For 4 of us, its quite a norm (athough we didn't meet each other) cause we had facebook, Msn profile pic and stuffs.

K, the latest to arrive, as usual. Decided to lunch at Tony Roma. B's idea. He got some discount or something, and B's friend, Shaun got a 15% discount as well. So, all cool. We ordered, the food came and guess what. My RM40 lamb chop came in a big plate, a number of fries, salad, and 3 sad, puny pieces of lamb ribs. Omg man, 40 bucks for that kind of 'premium' food. *Beats B* . K can't finished his burger and blamed it on Shaun for the Shiitake 'shitty' Burger. C, the 'widest' of all had 2 freaking big peace of bread with gazzilions of fillings (height of a McD's Big Mac).

Had a 2 hr lunch, talking all the usual shit you hear in Agentcy. This time included the epic story of K trashing C's ass in Red Alert 3. Lol, you guys should see C's face. Kana kantoi~

We only met for a lunch and all of us went back and attend to our stuffs.

Its always great to become an agent. :)

New Server arrived

Yo fellas, server has arrived. And I'm installing/updating/or whatever you call it. By night, we shall be back in full force, 24 slots, LAG FREE server.

Will update again when server is back out.

Server upgrade delayed to FRIDAY

It has been quite a while since i posted anything here. Kinda busy around. So here I am, making a not so good announcement.

The server upgrade has to be delayed to tomorrow morning due to the fact that I wasn't around to give instruction to Datacenter on when to shut down the server to perform the upgrade. (I got a good spank from Agent K for this. Trust me, you wouldn't wanna know the details. Lol.).

So yeah... Sorry guys, for making your hope high up for this. But, i beg you to keep up the spirit, just for another day :)

Server Upgrade Tomorrow!

The time has finally come, for we will be upgrading our servers to a long awaited new rig tomorrow. This upgrade now means that we will finally be hosting twin servers, both of which will be going live tomorrow.

IP address will not be changed, so you will still be able to access this server under your Favourites. We will be posting the IP address of the second server once we've finished setting it up.

A brief description on both servers:

Agentcy 1: All-talk, current Sourcemod plugins, casual server

Agentcy 2: All-talk, default map set, vanilla settings, for the more discerning pro, if there's such a thing

So there's one for those who want a little more seriousness in their TF2, and regular original recipe for good old Agentcy loving.

Thanks, and enjoy your pick of your poison tomorrow.

Question: Would you prefer if Agentcy 2 did not have All-Talk?

The Agentcy Logo: Draft A

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the semi-official draft of our first and very own Agentcy logo. 

Credits go to Girl General for helping to create the typography, as well as Agent C for adding the finishing touches.

Feel free to take it for spray usage, if that's your sort of thing.
