So, I heard of this spacebuild addon and so I'm downloading it right now (by It I mean all of the many addons it apparently needs)
But could someone tell me what it is .. exactly?
Do you build spaceships or something?
Yeah, downloading an addon I don't even know about, stupid, huh
Also this is my first post, I do often visit.
With Spacebuild you have some choices in how your server is run with it.
Peaceful - Build ships, explore other planets etc. no battles or weapons, you set most of it up in your server.cfg though
This setup is common if you want a build server or exploration server.
War - Players can build ships and bases on other planets and have wars
Mining - Can be peaceful or war all depending on the rules you set up, mine asteroids to fuel your devices to power your ships and life support systems. This setup is common if you want more of a RP type setting but I guess any setup can be a RP setup...
Basically spacebuild adds the zero gravity, cold temps, and no air in space and also adds various conditions on planets depending on the maps settings for it.
If your running spacebuid it is wise to get LS and RD to match your SB version. in your case SB3 will require LS/RD3. I have 2 servers online fulltime and one part-time with SB2 since I like how LS/RD2 works
With LS/RS you have the ability to build life support for your ships, bases or space stations using wind, solar, fusion and other energy sources to drive air compressors, coolant compressors, whatever.
Most of the addons can be found on this site or other sites if you google search gmod database you will find links to other collections like the stargate addons, tiberium, oilmod, etc which all can be used with SB/LS/RD2 and 3.
Only addons that is out that does not work is the mining addon for SB2 which I have rebuilt and reposted on this site in a working version, sorry the SB3 version is in heavy makeovers at this time, and until I get some help with it, it will be awhile before its working in a stable form.
Version 2 VS. version 3:
Version 2 allows a direct connect in life support where v3 requires you to run everything through a node.
V3 has better models but with better models comes bigger files to load up
V2 is a little easier to build addons for over V3 which uses CAF
CAF is required for SB3 series and arranges things in categories with sub category expands.
V4 (so I am told) should include both node linking and direct linking (to please both sides who like one or the other) But this isn't released yet, its still in the drawing stages I believe.
If you need help with the setups or where to get addons you can add me on steam or PM me
Basically, SB basically adds harshness to designated spacebuild maps. You go in space, you lose gravity and can't noclip, run out of oxygen, might burn up on a hot planet, etc. The goal is to build an awesome spaceship that supports life and go explore the system.
