"DEALS SO GOOD I'LL [$!$$] MYSELF!" - Spamton G. Spamton

The Store, otherwise known as the SCG Loyalty Store, is a plugin used on our Team Fortress 2 and Open Fortress servers that gives players the options to purchase cosmetic things for use in-game. The "currency" is credits earned from being on the server and normal game actions, not real money. Similar to the Donators system all offered items are cosmetic and not game breaking.

History

The SCG loyalty store was first launched on June 20th, 2013. It was originally created by alongub[1]. This version was eventually replaced with an updated version created by Drixevel[2].

In 2018 it was replaced with a totally redone version created by Zephyrus[3], replacing the now buggy and unoptimized store. During this swap, purchased items were unable to be transfered, however, credits were. As of 2022, a modifed version of this store is used. This version, modified by Rowdy, was updated to modern standards, excess code deleted, and many unused features stripped out to improve upon performance.

On June 19th of 2019[4], it was modified again by Fraeven and Rowdy to feature custom weapons and a better chat color engine.

Trivia

  1. Credits for the store were originally called "Lexes", which was erroneously thought to be the latin word for coins/currency, that would have been "moneta" while lexes is closer to lexoplacy meaning "word-coining".
  2. Credits for a short time became the word "fucks".
  3. As of 2022, the store text now refers to credits as "kromer" and assorted text strings are made to sound like the store is run by Spamton G. Spamton, the idea for this was suggest by Tarnished.
