So, I am working on a new DarkRP server. I need your input on it, though. What would you like to see in an ideal DarkRP server?
And please don't post "Don't make a DarkRP server" or something along the lines of that. I am actually trying to make a DarkRP server, and trust me, I hate your average Downtown, M9K, TDM Cars, etc. server as much as the next guy, that is why I am making this server.
Thanks.

a server with no anti propkill
[QUOTE=john552;44937862]a server with no anti propkill[/QUOTE]
Why would you want this, other than to fuck with people?
[QUOTE=TheHatter;44937891]Why would you want this, other than to fuck with people?[/QUOTE]
statistically proven my good sir, anti propkill scripts are bad and inaccurate scripts (proven by sir falco himself) because they usually kick a player based on who spawned the prop, so it goes like this
player 1 spawns prop
player 2 pushes that prop that player 1 spawns into another player
it shows up in logs that player 1 propkilled him because it was his prop
[QUOTE=TheHatter;44937891]Why would you want this, other than to fuck with people?[/QUOTE]
Because its fun to see people die by their own props when they try to build?
Also throwing a stove in someones face when they piss you off is always fun.
Minimalistic with not a lot of features. Like it was back in 2008. I'm not even joking. It was more fun than what there is now.

They either don't work, or fuck with actual gameplay, or both. Best way to fight prop killers is to spectate them and catch them in the act.
And then, just perma-ban them, don't ban them for "punishment" they are obviously toxic to your server if they join just to prop kill.
make the only rule "no spawn killing".
that way, those with admin friends don't loophole the rules and never get banned.
10/10 would play, since everyone shoots each other and disguises it with "he stole my printer" or equally stupid excuses.
Ideal darkrp server...
- OP weaponry.
- Cars everywhere
- Printers that never overheat and pay for themselves within 5 minutes.
- Staff that could not give a single fuck.
You writing this down OP?
- Make a building system akin to PAC/Fight 2 Survive, in which the player or players enter a buildmode, and go about building their household and all items/entities are parented to prevent collision lag. This building system would also work on a grid or block system that would disallow players from building in the streets, therefore preventing things like propkilling and propblocking.
- Introduce a farming and culinary system that allows players to make food, beverages, and drugs(including pharmaceuticals!). This type of system should be exactly like Stranded, and if players over-harvest a certain resource, that resource becomes unavailable for a certain period of time.
- Introduce a mining and refining system that allows players to harvest resources, refine resources, and then use said resources to make a variety of non-farmable items. Such items could be weapons, ammo, armor, variety of other products that'll aid the player in the server.
- The only job should be the Emergency Service Personnel. These players would be your firefighters, paramedics, and police. Each ESP would be specialized for a certain purpose, and these purposes would not be half assed. An ESP which is equipped for dealing with criminal gangs would actually be armed with mostly Less-Than-Lethal equipment, such as the tasers and pepper-ball guns from APB: Reloaded. The idea for this is that all though the Police will have a standard sidearm, it'd be more beneficial for them to take suspects alive.
- Prison times should range from 15 minutes to 3 Hours. This is ingame time, and as such players must petition with the ESP to be released. Such a law system could take a ToonTown approach in which players are called upon to vote on the sentences of players. This would bring a sense of community to a server, and therefore would make playing the game far more enjoyable.
- Introduce a magic system which is tied into the mining and farming system. Players will take numerous ingredients and mix them to get potions that give them magical capabilities. Players will not be able to figure out [I]what[/I] each ingredient does until they mix it together with other items. This adds a sense of adventure and exploration for the players, and if each ingredient has a different effect for other items, such a system would be very fun.
- With the building system, add a way to introduce contraption combat. One thing which wouldn't be that far off from the rest of the server would be the ability to farm WarMelons that could have their powers and abilities harvested and used for combat. Another method would be having "blank" combat melons and melons have to be fed magical potions and elixirs to get special combat bonuses. By having this, players would be able to have a mad scientist type approach, or use the melons to project enchantment bonuses to players.
My idea is to simply have a more MMO like DarkRP. Players should still have a certain amount of creativity, but anything like rules should be introduced via gameplay mechanics.

By "Constant opportunity for PvP", do you mean there would be no rule against randomly killing other players?
RDM is impossible.

[QUOTE=john552;44944965]yet inevitable[/QUOTE]
Pretty much. Inevitably you'll have deaths that people will declare random and want blind justice for, but if servers constantly ban players for random death matching, they are refusing to take a look at the larger problem.
One where none of the Admins gave out money to themselves, and maybe even one with no money printers, so you could get some sort of real economy going.
As soon as an admin gives himself $10000000 it just breaks the economy off the bat.
Encouragement of gang vs. police, potentially allowing the government to be destroyed temporarily, and vice versa.

you know what, why don't you just make your own gamemode
[QUOTE=arandom;44944828]By "Constant opportunity for PvP", do you mean there would be no rule against randomly killing other players?[/QUOTE]
Basically, let the police and the gangsters fight openly.
Why don't we stop trying to make Dark Roleplay the next best serious roleplay gamemode like the rest of the servers out there are doing, but instead use it for what it is meant to be.
A non-strict, contra-farming, raiding, cobs vs. robbers gamemode.
Let's start with Jobs, let me put this simply, there are too many of them on most servers. Servers always advertise how many jobs they have but in reality, you only need 5.
(1. Mayor - It's simple, he is the mayor he can add or remove any law he likes and has direct control of the police force & warrants. He can also control what weapons Police Officers get. For example if he wanted a S.W.A.T team for the raid he can assign a normal Police Officer special weapons for the period of the raid.
(2. Police - The Police Force is in the directly controlled by the mayor. He will tell you what to do and how to do it. He will give you special weapons and/or tools if needed and will approve your warrants. You will be out to catch people who break the mayor's law, fine and/or arrest them.
(3. Citizen - You can be anything you want. Would you like to live on the criminal side, committing crimes, raiding houses? Sure you can do that. Do you want to be a homeless person begging on the street? Sure you can do that. As a citizen you can have any job you desire that does not conflict with the other jobs purpose.
(4. Dealer - The Dealer has the choice of what he wants to deal, it could be guns, to drugs, to food, crowbars. They can deal whatever they feel like, even a supermarket containing all of above. Set up a small store or a gigantic empire linked in with the local crime, it's all up to you.
(5. Doctor - The doctor also gets to decide what he does. He can be a gangs personal doctor, a public paramedic or a simple doctor who heals people for a fee.
no darkrp pls
