Original suggestion about VSH2:
Most things about VSH2 are already explained in that thread but I'll explain some stuff again here in maybe a little more simple way. This update is mostly beneficial for developers rather than players, however players would probably still notice some differences.
Why should VSH be upgraded to VSH2?
I'm perfectly aware that this wouldn't be a simple process and it would take some time, but in the end it would be worth it.
I'm not gonna add a poll for now, since this is probably for Kevin to decide whether he wants to upgrade or not.
Declined - Upgrading to VSH2
Hello Everybody. I am Nergal, the creator & lead developer of VSH2 and I would like to discuss the possibility of having the Panda VSH servers upgrade to VSH2! Firstly, why VSH2? Well compared to VSH1... VSH2 is in active development. VSH2 allows you to have more than 1 bosses at a time...

Why should VSH be upgraded to VSH2?
- Active development, as mentioned in the original thread. VSH2 still gets some updates after all those years.
- Easier customization. In case any changes, such as weapon tweaks or hale changes are needed, they would be much easier to make. The biggest flaw of VSH1 is that everything is put into one plugin - Weapon attributes, boss attributes, etc., making it a sometimes incredibly annoying to change anything. In VSH2, each boss has its own plugin and config. Weapons attributes are all in a config, making it incredibly easy to modify any of them.
- Tons of other customization - VSH2 code can also be heavily modified to anyone's liking. There's also a ton of new cvars.
- Addons, quality-of-life things - Some things that can benefit players. There are various addons that can be added to VSH2, such as Transparent Viewmodels, Difficulty Settings (Similiar to the ones on FF2), Additional boss themes etc.. There's also a built in boss selection menu, boss health bar and built-in support of some plugins
- Less bugs, better perfomance - Current VSH plugin is incredibly old, laggy and in general difficult to work with. An infamous bug on the current plugin is the MOTD glitch which makes players stuck in spectator.
I'm perfectly aware that this wouldn't be a simple process and it would take some time, but in the end it would be worth it.
