Shortly after the release of the new update (date not yet announced), I will be releasing the official third party server project which will be available for anybody to download.

Introducing Third Party Servers

Do you want to have complete control over your own server that you host? Do you want to add certain game modes and events that you cannot do normally? Soon, you can!

Want something different?
As mentioned in the previous announcement, there are now player skills and much more content which is being added to the next update. But I want players to have the ability to do whatever they want on a different server not hosted by the developer. So I've decided to make an open-source Server Project which CONTASION 2 will connect to.

Tutorials included
I'll be writing a 3,000 word tutorial on how to understand the multiplayer; such as the connectivity and TCP/UDP ports. I will also be explaining how to add events to the game and objects you have never seen before.

No 'enter IP address' needed!
If you have ever played the now-abandoned CONTASION 1, you couldn't connect to any server without an IP address. Now, anybody who hosts a custom server will automatically appear on the server list menu in the game, meaning the player doesn't have to find you via IP.

Want more than 24 players per server?
Custom Server developers can select how many players they want in their server at the same time, players can have up to 150 players in their server if they wanted to.

Custom content
I am now supporting the ability to add custom menus, scripts, and instances to the game that you may have not seen before. It is up to you, as the server developer, to add these.

Fewer limitations
Developers can set where they want traffic, pedestrians and weapons to spawn. They can set whether or not to give you permanent god mode, they can set your spawn health, armour, and ammo. They can add bots, fixtures or an entire new map!

The ability to report a player will be disabled in custom servers, as no support can be provided from the developer (alexcjw) due to the fact that the custom servers do not write logs (unless this is implemented). The Jump List, weapon/adrenaline/painkiller/drugs & plants will also be disabled as the support for these is provided by the Game Provider (global server). However, the Custom Server developer can freely add his own content.

This idea has been revised for a long time and originally wasn't going to be introduced, but because of the capabilities of the Game Provider, I'm excited to release this to you

This will be available for anybody to download for free shortly after the release of the new update.
