dark rp isn't roleplay, it was originally intended as such but has veered off the course of roleplay a long time ago
and just because roleplay is popular doesn't mean its bad

[QUOTE=Killerjc;24602822]so why exactly is roleplay such a bad thing?[/QUOTE]
I can only say that it's just complicated, however it all comes down to the community that's playing it. Playing with a small group of friends would be the best experience in my opinion, I also like to have no scripts. Just straight up roleplaying.
Map seemed to work with 30+ people, over a gig worth of custom content/addons, and 20+ npcs spawned in waves for 6 hours or more.
Though we're having some issues with a small amount of the playerbase unable to play in specific times because they hl2.exe crash due to turning on flash light or something around those lines.
Weird thing is it's pretty much "it works fine for me" or "I crash for some reason" sort of deal.
[QUOTE=Killerjc;24602822]so why exactly is roleplay such a bad thing?[/QUOTE]
Dark RP is basically cops and robbers with a bunch of pointless and meaningless side bullshit, and when the robbers kill the cops they cry "OMG!!!! DM!!!!!!!!".
It makes no fucking sense. "SERIOUS" RP is basically the same shit, except slower and more boring. HL2 RP is basically metrocops bossing citizens around.
Don't give me some stupid arrogant patronizing like I don't know how to RP either, that's really what it is. All the side jobs and that aren't fun at all. Why the fuck would anyone just stand around in a shop selling stuff to people if there's no goal or reason behind it? It's not like you get to compete with other businesses and have some sophisticated industry and economy system.
Do you REALLY need Episode 1 ?
I have got only Episode 2 , portal , tf2 , cs , and HL2 dm .
Will map work?

lol, shoulda bought the orange box. plus, episode 1 is better than episode 2 imo.
No its not.
[QUOTE=Loen;24559301]My only real complaint judging from the screenshots is the building interiors; they're all magically lit up either by TVs or other miscelaneous light sources that somehow are still working with no power source, or just areas where light is coming out of nowhere. It really kills the "abandoned building" feeling for me and the associated exploration. You could say "oh well you wouldn't be able to see otherwise", but that's kinda the point. You have a flashlight for a reason. Maybe some very dim lighting at most could help.
Another complaint is that there's too much live foliage. Trees and shrubs with brown leaves on them just barely hanging by are okay, entire forests of live foliage are not. It's called post apocalyptic for a reason, and it really detracts from the atmosphere.[/QUOTE]
Depending on the time after the nuclear-holocaust, there would be forest.
Plants and animals can cope with radiation to an extent, I mean, Chernoybl is caked in radiation, but the place is practically overgrown.
[QUOTE=Axiom :D;24485253]The official Apocalypse Roleplay for rp_apocalypse is at 69.197.188.94:27015

Any questions just add me on steam nik6069, we are also hunting for new administrators if you think your fit enough for the official apocalypse roleplay, just add me :buddy:[/QUOTE]
Is it one of those shitty rp servers where you can't shoot people, but you have to purposely miss.
Event delayed to next weekend due to work, unless you guys are up for a Monday event.

I want to join your RP server. Is it one of those boring, super serious servers?
its serious, not boring.
Also I am looking for people to ropleplay monsters, zombies and anything else the wasteland spawns, if you think you are cut out. Just add me on steam nik6069 or pm me on facepunch.
Then you are either A. on very BAD servers, or B. a shitty rper, because any half decent rper can take any situation and find a story or some action to it.

build is just stacking props together to make a pretty picture :downs:
see i can over simplify things too, its all about who you play with and what server you're on
i don't consider dark rp or tnb the pinnacles of roleplaying, some people do, but its different strokes for different folks

I can pretend to be a sniper that kills people, all I need is a sniper and some ammo
Sorry that I haven't been posting much in this thread, I just have had to many other things to do
Also I was on an RP server for awhile, had no clue what to do, and was called a "minge" a few times :smith:
[QUOTE=BirdBro;24452776]cool that you finally released this.
i suppose i could open it and make a configuration file for radbox for it but i quit working on radbox some time ago.[/QUOTE]
I'd play Radbox
Anyone else hear explosions and stuff when picking up the .357 ammo under the bunker stairs? I heard some noises (I'm assuming explosions) that were different than the usual sounds of the map, so I'm assuming this isn't a coincidence.
I didn't notice anything.
-Snip-
Nevermind, nothing happened. Would be interesting to have something that causes npcs to spawn, though.

Oh hey thanks for missing my point and making a strawman.
Building is assembling props into contraptions or objects, which actually have some purpose and entertainment value.
Though when it comes to building, I honestly prefer to make bases or wooden contraptions and fight other players with it. That stuff was the shit back in Gmod 9.

The biggest problem with RP is that it leaves too much up to the user to do. It doesn't set a proper foundation, and no one aside for dedicated individuals really wants to play everything out properly or have some system that runs purely off the player's imaginations. There's no reason for anyone to do so, either. It's way too easy to exploit, and it all really just boils down to cops and robbers with people make believing stuff.
Anyway though, I don't want to digress from the thread's topic too much.
Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS MAP. I will be producing machinima using this map in the future, for sure.

Someone help this man out.

-sniff- This map is truely beautiful =,]
I honestly didn't think I'd ever see this released. I haven't fully explored it yet, but what I have seen amazes me. This is one of the best maps that I'm sure will ever be released here. Excellent work, even though "excellent" doesn't really cover it.
Hey hazard, do you have any idea why the map still crashes for me? I'm going to try and run the map again.

Looking through your specs and everything not really, could be your card, could be anything really. This list is for everyone having problems
Try:
[list]
[*]Lowering you graphics
[*]Lowering your Direct X level in Garry's Mod launch options(Same place as +r_hunkalloclightmaps 0) -dxlevel to 80, 90, or 95.
Example: -dxlevel 80
[*]Adding the command -heapsize [Kilobytes] in Garry's Mod launch options. "This command tells the Source Engine to allocate more RAM to the system heap, where it can be accessed by the game to improve performance by caching more game information in RAM and hence reducing loading pauses."
Example: -heapsize 524288
In the example Source is going to allocate 512 MB of RAM. When I run gm_apocalypse in Gmod I use around 900MB of RAM so it's better to have -heapsize 1,048,576 or more

If he wants my map he can ask and I'll make him an edited version. I'll do that for any gamemode that looks good
