I'm happy to say that after 48 hours of ignoring IRL responsibilities, the ECNR SA-MP server is now back online for the first time in many years.

While I do not plan on any major updates like back in the day, if you come across any game-breaking bugs feel free to let me know.

I've added Discord functionality to the server so that now when a player connects or speaks in-game it will be echo'ed to the Discord.

I may also further extend the Discord -> SA-MP functionality as a sort of replacement for IRC, dependant upon whether people actually play on the server. Outside of that, I wouldn't expect any significant updates to the server.

I've taken steps to ensure that the server remains online (hopefully in perpetuity) so that anyone can come and get their fill of nostalgia whenever the mood strikes.

Feel free to hop in-game at samp.enigmaticgc.com
Or join the Discord: https://discord.gg/n3WdQ5Nz

You'll need the sa-mp-0.3z-R2-install SA-MP client version, which you can get from here: https://github.com/Se8870/SAMP-File-Archive

I hope everyone is well and gets a minute to re-live some CRRPG/ECNR.

Peace & Love

Hey everyone, been a long time!

Our local Viper has brought it to my attention that whoever was running the old ECNR community Discord has shut it down for some reason. I'm not sure who created it or why it was shut down but it is a good opportunity to start fresh.

Feel free to join the new official Discord here: https://discord.gg/nJyc7jxCF2

As a side note, the enigmaticgc.com forums had seemingly broken at some point in the past month. I've gone ahead and updated the forum version (was massively out of date) however unfortunately neither the theme nor forum split plugins are compatible with newer SMF versions.

So I've used a similar looking theme and opted to combine all the sub forums into one large forum.

While there is essentially zero activity on the forums, I'm sure a lot of us would like to keep them alive for when the mood for some nostalgic reminiscing strikes us!

I hope everyone is well and I'll hopefully see you on the Discord.

Peace & Love
Byrner

During some routine machine/server relocating we managed to forget that the EGC website was hosted on one of the machines we were moving. This resulted in the website/forums not being transferred to the new location. We did not notice that the website wasn't running until after all the remote backups had also been deleted.

Good news, we found a hard copy of the forums database on our home systems.
Bad news, this database backup is from 2015.

While we have the most important years of EGC (2012-2015) we do not have access to the the last four years. While it is sad that the records we had of the passed few years are now gone we are fortunate to have the the early, most important years.

We've taken measures to ensure that we store remote backups more regularly and are less prone to deletion should something similar occur.

The opportunity was taken to upgrade the SMF version to v2.0.15.

To clarify, only the forums were effected by this. The ECNR SA-MP server is still up & running with the latest database information.

We apologize for allowing this to happen and assure you we have taken measures to ensure it doesn't happen again.

We're happy to announce that Saw will be joining the ECNR Administration team. With that, his mIRC Bot Houston has been promoted to channel operator on #ECNR.

Congrats Saw!

Perhaps a !recent (Or whatever you prefer) to list the last (maybe 5?) forum posts!

Classic SA-MP bug. 

Welcome back dude.

Also note a significant amount of features were added and forgotten. We stupidly did not keep a list of these additions.

If you happen to notice any that aren't on this list, feel free to let us know and we will update the main post.


Enjoy the new beginning lads.

The main post has been updated. Click the time for a countdown.

That is happening.

Can you feel it?

Due to http://evolutionhost.co.uk/ now offering DDoS Protection with it's SA-MP Servers, we've had the opportunity to move over to this newly protected system.

EGC's ECNR SA-MP Server and IRCd is now located in Roubaix, France. This also includes a more powerful machine.

No need to worry about an IP change, you can still use samp.enigmaticgc.com:7777 to connect.

I was back and forth about doing the end of year awards for days. In the end I decided not to, as to not tarnish the prestige of the yearly awards. Everyone knows the most part of 2014 has not been good. For those who have stuck around, trust me, it will be worth it.

Our host was having some downtime, all good now!

Let me know on IRC when you've bought it and I'll add it for you!
