Custom Fortress - Beta News

Hello, it's been a while since the last update, despite being a passion project, real life problems can be overwhelming to us. we have rebranded our Mod Name, to avoid misunderstandings, we NEVER meant to be superior or be the first ones ending up on the store page.

The Bigger is Better Set
Originally made in 2011, by Joshua Opel, i managed to contact him on Facebook from all the things, and he gave me permission to use his creations, now they can see the light of day, reworked them a little, with some original mechanics.
The Airbone Arsonist Set
Fly high in the sky with these 2 new weapons, a new flamethrower capable of boosting, and a flaregun chasing down targets on fire, created by the one and only NeoDement The Misfortune Canteen
The Magician is now sealed in this Fortune teller, will he help? or be an annoyance?! fear his power! of talking... seriously he doesn't shut up!
Made by Chickenman, Audrey, Hirsch, and Elo The Better Medal
Here is your own medal to flex on everybody, and act superior even in cases where you don't! go ahead, show your pride, flex on other people! but whatever you do keep that badge (in the shadows)

What does this do? it allows server owners to run specific commands (not all) protected with cheats, without giving cheats to everyone else, due to limitations, this is the current list:

• Ent_Create, Ent_Remove, Ent_Remove_All.
  
• Noclip, God, Buddha,
  
• Addcond, Removecond
  

We wish to make all Cheat protected convars to work with this too, but we don't have Access to that.
