I've been wanting to make this for a while. Most of the text below is copied from a .txt file I've been working on.
My suggestions to improve the ZARP TTT Server.
- Fix issue (RDM Manager): Reported player answers a report when the map's about to change, the victim didn't have enough time to decided whether to forgive or keep the report. The map has changed and the victim can no longer forgive or keep the report. Staff who are unaware of this problem are most likely to not do the report as you can't set it's status. (This issue was "supposed to be fixed" and no results yet)

- Fix invisibility glitch. Sometimes people are invisible not only to 1 person but to the whole server although there's no stalker event. Usually happens after stalker event.
- Remove health boost. Reason: Can be seen as an "indirect" way of pay2win, once a player with decent skill has health boost. He can keep using his health boost and skill to get MVP for as long as he's playing. Many people don't know about this since they'd either pick Top traitor/points or they think the button's broken. Before saying that health boosts make no difference, they do. The health boost makes a lot of difference, someone with health boost can survive a deagle/rifle/shotgun headshot. (All the VIPs be like "BUT IT TAKES SKILL TO GET MVP")
Screenshots
- Add thumbnails for each map that's missing one.

Done
- Fix crouching issue. The crouching issue makes players unable to crawl through most vents and affects crouch jumping.
Done
- Change Shuffle Event:
Done
- Set chances for events to 0, meaning that only superadmins can use it.
- Remove bighead event.
Done
- Change ttt_namechange_bantime to 0.
Done
- Fix stalker: The shadow of a stalkers knife is visible when you use your flashlight. The when using your mic as a stalker, people can see the icon.

WEAPONS
- Balance H.U.G.E:
Done
- Balance AK47:
Done
- Slightly increase firerate for pump shotgun:
Done
- Remove AWP. Reason: Peasants.
- Include in the description of the Decoy that it can be planted only on walls. Me and many others thought it was broken.
- Fix golden deagle: There's a 0.5 delay between everytime you fire it(clientside) and the shot registering(serverside).
- Fix crossbow slot:
Done
- Fix Deathfaker. It's broken, everytime someone identifies a fake body of a traitor, the traitor becomes visible in the tab menu and is shown that he's alive and is a traitor. This has been an issue ever since the defib was added.
Screenshots
- Fix melon launcher issues.
Done
POINTSHOP
- Fix the auto-unequip of pointshop items when a round starts:
Done It works now for most of the time.
- Remove Deathstroke, SCP049 and Jack Sparrow playermodels. Reason: Broken hitboxes, can't see the ragdolls.
- Remove Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Reason: Broken hitbox.
- Remove skeleton playermodel. Reason: Skeleton playermodel is harder to see as it tends to blend in when having only a skeleton playermodel equipped. Giving the player an unfair advantage most of the time.
- Remove hagrid playermodel. Reason: Broken hitbox, ugly playermodel, too big.
- Remove Thresh playermodel. Reason: Broken hitbox, too big, playermodel doesn't have a head.

Seeing as we have so many broken/unfair playermodels, I'd like to suggest some other playermodels which work PROPERLY. Ragdolls are visible, hitboxes work perfectly, none of the playermodels are too small or big. I tested each of the below playermodels in singleplayer. I also took the download size of the playermodels into consideration. (Largest addon is around something less than 7MB)

The reason I suggested so many playermodels is because I
know that only a few of these will be chosen. Perhaps even none.
I've put a lot of effort and thought into this, please don't be a dick.
This made me realize how broken the TTT server is.
