[b]Q) How do I make my rp_ commands run automatically when the server starts up?[/b]
A) List them in garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg
[b]Q) When I start my server, the gamemode stays on sandbox. What am I doing wrong?[/b]
A) You must put sv_defaultgamemode "DarkRP" into the top of "garrysmod/cfg/autoexec.cfg"
[b]Q) I want to reset everyone's money. How do I do it?[/b]
A) Open the command prompt and change into your garrysmod directory. Use the command line program SQLite3.exe ([url]http://sqlite.org/sqlite-3_6_10.zip[/url]) to open the file "sv.db"
e.g: C:\ ... \garrysmod\> sqlite3.exe sv.db
now you should see the following:
sqlite>
type the following into the prompt (without the quotes) and press enter "drop table darkrp_wallets;")
press ctrl-D to close sqliite.
[b]Q) Why do the guns freeze in mid-air when I spawn them from a crate or using /buypistol?[/b]
A) You need to install Counter-Strike: Source content on your dedicated server ***IN THE "ORANGEBOX" FOLDER*** or if you are creating a "Listen Server" (starting a server in-game) you must have Counter-Strike: S
ource installed first. To install CSS content on your dedicated server, change into the root directory of your srcds server and use the command:
[HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir ./orangebox]
...to install the content.
[b]Q) I want to make my own version of DarkRP, who do I have to ask for permission?[/b]
A) DarkRP is Public Domain code. Do what you want with it and please try to give credit where credit is due.
[b]Q) I hate DarkRP, it's just a deathmatch gamemode![/b]
A) That's not really a question is it. The game is only as good as its players and admins. Play something else if it really bothers you that much.
[b]Q) How do I get rid of letters?[/b]
A) If you are a player, you can look at a letter and type /rm in the chat window or /removeletters to remove all your letters. If you are an admin, you can use rp_removeletters <name of player>... or without
the player name to remove all letters that exist on the server.
[b]Q) Why was I sent to jail as soon as I connected to the server?[/b]
A) You were probably naughty and tried to reconnect while arrested. Either that or a rare bug got you.
[b]Q) Why can't I spawn props in jail?[/b]
A) Because they could be used to help you escape. Contact the Mob Boss if you want to be broken out of jail.
[b]Q) Why can't I use the tool gun on drug labs?[/b]
A) So it's more difficult to hide them.
[b]Q) Where did rp_add go?[/b]
A) rp_add was replaced with rp_grant and rp_revoke. You use these commands to give priveleges to players and take them away again. See admins.lua for more details.
[b]Q) Where has my money gone?[/b]
A) The server-side SQL database was probably reset or tampered with by the server admin.
[b]Q) What is up with the new "discount" /buypistol and food prices?[/b]
A) It was difficult for gun dealers or cooks to make money when /buypistol was available to all. However, a lot of people miss /buypistol so in 2.2.11 I have re-introduced /buypistol for all players, but Gun Dea
lers now receive up to a 12% discount on pistols. This way, a gun dealer can beat the price of the /buypistol menu and they get the sale.
[b]Q) What's going on with Gun Labs and Microwaves?[/b]
A) If you are a gun dealer and you buy from your own Gun Lab, you will pay the 12% discounted price for a P228. If you are not a gun dealer (but it is your gunlab you are buying from) you will pay the full /buyp
istol price like any other player. If it is not your gun lab, you will pay the "Customer Price" which is the price displayed when you move the mouse over a Gun Lab. To set the price of weapons sold from your Gun
Lab, look at the lab and type /price <Value> where Value is the price you want to sell P228s at. Microwaves work in the same way as Gun Labs, except that cooks receive an 18% discount on food.
[b]Q) Why did you change how the gunlabs/microwaves work?[/b]
A) Because, what is the point in selling any guns other than a P228 when selling one from a gunlab makes you 185 pure profit? The new system means that the profit you get is based on how much more money you rece
ived over and above that which the gun cost you to buy in. For example, a P228 costs you 162. The normal price for selling P228s is 185. You make 185 - 162 = 23 in profit. If you have set "/price" to something l
ower than what the gun costs you to buy normally, you will make a loss. If you can not afford to subsidize a gun in those situations, the sale will be blocked and the customer informed that you can't afford to s
ell them that gun at a loss. The same goes for food.
[b]Q) Why is it so laggy?[/b]
A) Your computer sucks. Buy a faster one.
Snip
Maybe we should have a FAQ for the F4 menu in DarkRP.
[QUOTE=philxyz;13245794][b]Q) Why is it so laggy?[/b]
A) Your computer sucks. Buy a faster one.[/QUOTE]
Or get a faster internet connection...
Also, sometimes the changed run speed and walk speed make people lagg.
I know, people do abuse the term "lag" but generally they don't understand that it is caused by a variety of factors so they call it all "lag"
It should really only be a term used for high network latency (it was when I were a nipper)
[QUOTE=Divran;13292996]Or get a faster internet connection...

the speed is because there is a entity that changes the speed like drugzmod the cocaine will make your screen lag but not your body in word
I laughed at:

haha
Please note that the first one is actually not on 2.3.1+(the svn version)
Nice job Phil - This will half stop people asking questions.

It's more to save me writing the same answers... :P
you might have forgotten one, how do you set money using a comand? ( for admins that is )
rp_setmoney name integer (might be the other way round)
I fixed up rp_setmoney now so it shouldn't b0rk when you get the name and the money the wrong way around. (FPtje Falcon convinced me it probably is a good idea to protect the users from themselves when they get the commands wrong - it's just good form not to spam lua errors)
Finally, an F.A.Q thread. Riddle me this:
[b][u][i]Why does everybody use this poorly coded, badly optimised, ugly piece of shit as a base for their poorly coded, badly optimised, ugly piece of shit gamemodes?[/b][/u][/i]

Because they don't think it's badly coded. All they can see is gameplay.
[QUOTE=iRzilla;13365896]Now now Conna. Just because nobody likes you and your gamemodes. Dosn't mean you have to hate other gamemodes or people.[/QUOTE]
I have to disagree with you there, I think Cydar is a brilliant and well put together piece of work.
But if you see a bug in DarkRP Conna, report it so it can be fixed please.
HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir ./orangebox
doesnt work for me.... the window just says updating and closes after 2 secs -.- what am i doing wrong?
[QUOTE=iRzilla;13367648]Why did you quote me then? I said nothing about Cydar..[/QUOTE]
Cydar is Conna's gamemode.

I love that part.
Good FAQ.
[QUOTE=iRzilla;13368305]Why post it here? Are you fucking retarded?
This forum is about GarrysMod. If you want to have a GMOD server do:
"HldsUpdateTool.exe" -command update -game "GarrysMod" -dir ./orangebox[/QUOTE]
DarkRP requires counter-strike source content to be installed on your server.
Conna, DarkRP IS DarkRP. It's coded fine thanks very much. It works, we've done a good job cleaning out the crud, the code is better laid out, what more do you want?
Most of it has gone in SeriousRP and I've done things very differently when it comes to "lag causing issues" let's just put it like that. I'm keeping quiet about it for now because if that work goes into DarkRP, it will prompt the development of things that I want to be very careful to do "right" and I'd feel it's a duplication of effort when someone else will think of it too and do it almost the same but slightly differently.
[QUOTE=iRzilla;13365896]Now now Conna. Just because nobody likes you and your gamemodes. Dosn't mean you have to hate other gamemodes or people.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I love Cydar and CCRPM. Both are very well coded and optomized and have nifty features. CCRPM is for the RP minimalist, something you don't see very often anymore.

Ha ha ha
I find myself frequently asking "why do they allow me to buy a gun if i get banned for shooting people?"
It's like roleplayers are masochists or something
Server owners often forget about rp_noguns. It's a nifty command that disables all guns [B]completely[/B].
Okay. Well I'm apparently mentally retarted... Because I cannot seem to figure out how to do delete everyone money! P.S. You can't run a cmd for an FTP!
Uh... Download sv.db, then run the command, then upload it.
Easy, isn't it?

I just looked at the last post date before Dwatring >.<
WHat? as soon as it stops him from making new threads this is exactly why this thread was made.
