Many of you have noticed that our servers were down and the website wasn’t responding.
This was due to a DNS problem that also affected many other sites such as facepunch and garry.tv
The problem seems to be resolved so the servers are all good now.
In other news the we are almost finished sorting through the admin applications so you will be seeing some new admins soon!
You may have noticed the lack of updates involving the servers and forums. We hope you understand that many of us are still in school so exams must come before Sassilization. cold has successfully resolved most of the forum issues.
With that said many of you probably noticed that the lobby has been down since the last garry’s mod update. The update has caused many of the lobby functions to stop working so we decided that it should be shut down so it can be fixed. Bentech has been working on it diligently and has been making great progress. Please do not ask “when will it be done!?!?”. It will be done and released when its done.
Earlier today I did a quick update to the servers so that you may lookup your Sassilization account username and reset your account’s password directly the server.
From now on anyone who is found buying or selling dough will be banned.
You also cannot trade dough for VIP, anyone found doing so will also be banned.
If you wish to donate for VIP or dough then visit the usercp
OMGWTFBBQ?!! Is Sassafrass making a blog post? YES, yes I am. Anyone who was watching me script Nuclear Warfare on my livestream the previous night would know I was having difficulties getting the missile turrets’ attack-preview-circle not to draw when overlapping another circle. Well, I just now made it work! Exciting? Yes! Finished? Not quite. But it is a start. Tomorrow I will make it actually work in the game instead of in this test script I threw together.
Check out this awesome overlapping circle outline-age.
Ignore the white circles, those just show where the circles are situated. The important thing to notice is the red circle and how it does not go inside the white circle. Amazing, is it not?
Update:
Just implemented it for Nuclear Warfare. Here’s a screen shot of what I was trying to accomplish.
Hopefully everyone who wanted to get VIP got it while it was SUPER CHEAP because the sale is officially over!
If you thought the holidays at Sassilization couldn’t get any better, think again. The VIP discount has gotten even greater and you can now, for a very limited time, get VIP for just one dollar! That means you can get VIP for over 90% off, but you better act quickly, this offer won’t be on for long.
It’s worth nothing, that you should be sure to clear your cache before you donate in order to guarantee you have the most up to date java script!
The holiday season is upon us all and to show our appreciation we have put VIP on sale. VIP is currently 50% off it’s regular price and is just $7.50! Furthermore, for a limited time, VIP’s who join Deathrun, Climb, or Bunny Hop will be given a special holiday hat for free! From the Sassilization team, happy holidays!
The long awaited results to the mapping competition are here! But first, I just want to thank all the mappers who contributed maps, they were all really great and we had a lot of fun playing and rating them. I should mention that even if your map didn’t place amoung the top three we will be adding any number of the maps we found were good enough for our server. Without further adieu, I give you, the results…
First Place – deathrun_ale-tech by BlackOps
Second Place – deathrun_carbonic by Hoppins and Snoipa
Third Place – dr_industrialist by BMCha
Runner Up – deathrun_snoweydeath by Dexter
I will be contacting the winners shortly to award them their prize, as well as arrange putting their map on the server. Thank you for the great maps!
After speaking with all the mappers who entered a map into the contest we have a final schedule for when all the maps will be play tested on the public Deathrun server. The times are already all saved as events on the Sassilization Group but in case you aren’t a member, here they are…

Yesterday all of the admins got together and play tested all of the submitted maps. The maps that were submitted looked great and we had a lot of fun playing and judging them. We decided that the maps all should get play tested on the public server. The public play test will be the last chance for any of the admins to change their scores. In addition any issues which were mentioned in my posts on each submission should be fixed in order to give the best chance for scores to go up. I will be contacting each map maker to arrange a time to play test on the server, provided any major issues I mentioned in their submission gets fixed.
All in all, the submissions were very nice and the results should be interesting and exciting for everyone. I look forward to trying the maps on the server with everyone, should be fun! I will probably make another blog post when the schedule for trying the maps has been created. I expect the first play test to be early next week.
