Outcast was a school project that I started in september, where I aimed to make a fully working survival gamemode.
[b]What makes this different from Rust or Minecraft?[/b]
This gamemode tries to be realistic. Rust and Minecraft both have supernatural monsters and they allow the player to create weapons using metals. The average human doesn't know how to to that.
Both games also have a large disadvantage for newer players, as if they join a big server, they will usually be murdered by more veteran players wearing full kevlar/diamond armor, who are carrying fully automatic rifles/enchanted weapons.
[b]Currently the gamemode is in WIP. I am aiming to add the following features:[/b]
- places to store items, such as wood piles, water buckets, and food wraps.
[del]- Salt water [/del]
- Spears and Fishing
[del]- More craftable building parts, such as doors, ceilings and ladders.[/del]
- More animals, such as snakes, bulls and boars (maybe sharks or crocodiles?)
- More types of meat. Currently it's universal.
[del]- Ability to change playermodel.[/del]
And a bunch of other things.
[b]To fix[/b]
[del]- Fix a few IsValid checks with some sents, such as chicken corpses and entity placers.[/del]
- Fireplace can get buggy with the meat
[del]- Make wooden walls bigger[/del]
- Fix the drinking animation bugging out every now and then
- Fix the fact that swapping a reloaded bow does not return an arrow to your inventory, so you lose it.
[del]- Fix bow worldmodels.[/del]
[del]- Fix random HUD error when looking at a specific spot in the sky (it's really weird).[/del]
[del]- Fix players not dropping items when dieing.[/del]
[del]- Fix server lag. [/del]
- Fix animals getting stuck on one another.

Feedback is appreciated!
"Downloads are usually 20-30 minutes" *Instantly quit gmod and shot myself.
This looks neat, I'll take a look at it tonight when I get off work!
This looks great! I'll check it out later on.
Just hopped on for about 10 minutes, server was a bit laggy but I got over it. It seemed a lot like Stranded, but it feels more smooth and there's a lot of cool content. Very neat stuff, can't wait to see what you come up with later on!

I think you got the wrong thread. The downloads are 1 80mb workshop addon.
Make it like H1Z1 ;)
Make it like winter survival - round based.
Tiger hunting as a team.

Workshop escaped.
Nice gamemode! How far along do you plan on releasing it?

I'm thinking of making it a private thing for now. I might make it public if the servers I host don't survive too well and I think the gamemode is finished enough to be releasable.
A poor man's Rust with differences!
Thats badass! Did you rip the models yourself?
Well I was on it for a bit, and I like it! The tigers are aggressive as shit omg, but very cool. The lag is almost unbearable though and I'm not sure if it was the lag or something else, but I created a fireplace and sat next to it during night, but with 400 ping I still was losing health from it being too cold. I had also placed a piece of wood in the fire, and it told me it should burn all night. Not sure if its a bug or my connection.
[QUOTE=Exho;47004846]Thats badass! Did you rip the models yourself?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, animals and a few sents use far cry 3 models, and a few other things use far cry 3 textures because they're so damn good.

Apologies for that, i'll contact the server host today and figure out what's going on.

So... make it shit?
[quote]Dear European customers,
we are currently experiencing technically difficulty in which the servers are underperforming.
This is entirely on our part and we expect this issue to be resolved by midweek at latest.
If you have not recieved your server yet but are getting this email it is because you've been selected to recieve one,
but haven't gotten it yet due to this issue.
If you already have your server, your files and settings will stay the same no worries.
Thank you for your patience,
Matthew @ Prestigeservers.net[/quote]
Tl;dr lag problems should be fixed this week.
Also, i've made a bunch of models today for the gamemode. I've also made tents hollow so you can crouch inside of them. Just don't jump or get too close to the edges or you'll get stuck. Sadly can't do much about that. I've also doubled the size of the wooden walls so you don't have to place as many, and I plan on having doors fully functioning tomorrow.

Looks nice but the server is down.
Cool shit, I'll give this a download and be sure to hop on.
Server down?
Server's IP changed because the hosts had to change location in order to fix all of that lag. New IP updated in the OP. Sorry for the downtime.
[editline]ikuhjgf[/editline]
I can confirm that the new server has MUCH better ping. Join it before it gets DDoS'd!

I've also updated the server with some bug fixes, and I've added salt water.
Servers hosted in France not germany xD

Really? I was told new host changed to Germany.

Wow this gamemode is really fun, I hope it gains a lot of popularity soon.

It's really close to the German border but it's in france. Don't rely on Geolocation.

Alright, i'll update the OP.
Servers down :( , If you don't really want to release the game but your servers are going to shit I could see about hosting it for you if you want.
[QUOTE=BigBadWilly;47051989]Servers down :( , If you don't really want to release the game but your servers are going to shit I could see about hosting it for you if you want.[/QUOTE]
I'll look into it.
That's alright, i've been given a crap-ton of offers for hosting already.
I'll try updating the gamemode today, if I ever get the door entity's tables to work.
Great mod, I can only wish him success in his development. Good For You! Best wishes from Russia.
Thanks. Server's back up by the way!
