[B][U]What is Basewars?[/U][/B]
Basewars is essentially a gamemode in which you build a base, buy some entities and fill up your base. Defend your base or go out and try to invade other bases. You can buy things like money printers and let the money collect into a money vault, or harvest some meth and moonshine into a stove, either sell what you collect for money or convert it to super drugs. Below is a screenshot of all the current entities you can buy in the gamemode. If interested in donating to support the gamemode and help get up an actual server just send something to [email]James0roll2@yahoo.com[/email] on PayPal. Although the gamemode will not be released, I apologize to people who would want to use it, I would like to host it for my community; of coarse if I can obtain some money for a server.

[B][U]Money Printers[/U][/B]
You can purchase money printers from the Basewars tab when you press Q, or whatever is bound to [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Tutorials/Sandbox/Opening_The_Spawnmenu]+menu[/url]. Money printers are in the profitables category. Each money printer costs a different price, prints a different amount of money, and prints at different times. When money printers it will randomly print from a range of seconds. There are 4 money printers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. As you buy more expensive printers, it will take longer of time for you to make any profit. But once it has printed it's dept you will start to make more profit. For example, the bronze printer costs $2,500 and it will take around 18 minutes for you to get any the $2,500 spent on the printer back; although if it's a diamond printer you wont make your money back until 80 minutes of printing, but you'll get more profit from the diamond than the bronze. Each printer has a limit that you can have; bronze is 4, silver is 3, gold is 2, and diamond is 1. Each printer can upgrade to level 3, starting at level 1, it multiplies the cost of the printer by whatever level it is, leveling the printer up will also multiply how much the printer prints.
[B][U]Meth Labs[/U][/B]
You can purchase meth labs from the same place as money printers, as well as inside the profitables category. You can buy 3 meth labs and in order to activate it you press E, or whatever is bound to +use. When you activate the meth lab it will turn a greenish color and spark. Depending on the level of the meth lab, it will take a specific amount of time to make meth. You can upgrade a meth lab to level 3, level 3 will take significantly less time than level 1. Meth has 2 purposes, it can be activated and you can run faster and jump higher, or you can put it into a stove and either convert it to super drugs or money. If you activate meth the negative effects is a screen blur and when it wears off you will run slower for 30 seconds. Super drugs allows you to run 3 times faster and jump lots higher, super drugs only has a negative effect of screen blur but no such after effect.
[B][U]Stills[/U][/B]
You can purchase stills from the same place as money printers and meth labs, as well as inside the profitables category. You can buy 4 stills and pressing E, or whatever is bound to +use, will activate it just like the meth lab. It turns a greenish color and sparks. Depending on the level it will take a specific amount of time to make moonshine, similar to the meth lab. Either way a still will take less time than it takes meth labs to make meth, and just like meth labs, stills can be upgraded to level 3. It only takes 10 seconds for stills to make moonshines on level 3. Moonshine can be drank, but will have no kind of effect. You can however put it into a stove and convert it to super drugs or money.
[B][U]Mobile Spawns[/U][/B]
Mobile spawns cost $500 and it has a limit of 1. You can purchase a mobile spawn from the other category on the Basewars tab. Buying a mobile spawn will place a spawn point under you, it looks like a large clock. When you die, and spawn again, you will spawn over your spawn point. Spawn points can enhance battles, if a person dies in their base they may spawn again in their base, they can keep attempting to kill the raiders unless the raiders can get in and destroy all of their equipment.
[B][U]Money Vaults[/U][/B]
Money vaults cost $1,000 and can be placed under money printers to collect all of the money that printers will give out. Money vaults essentially keep things easy and clean. People can build slides to vent the money into the vault and when the player wants to collect all of the money printed they may press E on the money vault and the money will be given to the player. Only the owner of the money vault can take the money from the vault, unless destroyed. If destroyed the money stored in the vault will be put into the world. Because it is a money vault, it is very endurable but can still be destroyed. Money vaults can augment player's creativity when building contraptions to collect all of the printers money.
[B][U]Stoves[/U][/B]
Stoves can store meth and moonshine. If the stove contains 20 meth it will turn into either a super drug or money, depending on the mode. If the stove contains 100 moonshine, it will turn into either a super drug or money, depending on the mode. The mode can be set by the owner of the stove. Converting 20 meth to money will give out $1,000, but converting 100 moonshine to money will give out $2,000. Although it's not too much money, it does not take too much time to make meth, or moonshine. The mode by default is set to convert to super drugs.
[B][U]What is planned?[/U][/B]
• Auto users.
• Drug plants.

That HUD alignment.
[QUOTE=007SILVERTOE;38583396]- You can't have this
- Give me money for it
- I don't have a server you can play it on
- If you want some generalized info about the gamemode that isn't really about the gamemode you can read it in the "Other Shit" category which has a welcoming subject header.
Not the best way to introduce your gamemode idea.
What is it? I've never played basewars, I feel like some sort of base wars gamemode could be cool in gmod? I guess? But what I've gathered from your post is that you made it from scratch, it's not like DarkRP, and has something to do with money, not a lot of information to get me started and certainly not enough to donate...I'm not trying to be rude here, but asking for money is pretty ballsy on a very undefined project with what seems like little headwind. And if you're not going to release it for other people to use, why should we donate? You'll get one server than can hold maybe...12 people? for a month? I need a little more incentive than that.
What is this?
What are the levels useful for?
Where are the bases? How do we build them?
What's the money for? Why are there printers?
There are teams?
Why is this better than...building forts out of wood and shooting each other across construct?[/QUOTE]
And then watch him not do anything about it in an act to make cheap money.
[QUOTE=Luxzhv;38583564]And then watch him not do anything about it in an act to make cheap money.[/QUOTE]
That's why I never donate to private projects, ever. If they are public at least someone can continue the project if it falls *hint hint*
Sorry for not providing a lot of information about the gamemode. I'll try to make it better.

Look at your image, the text's have different positions.
You notice it the most when you look at Armor then Money.

Yeah, I indented that. Should I not of? Or should I indent and then put a silkicon before the money and ammo?

The H in health is way too close to the border while A isn't as close. That is not aligning.

This kinda looks familiar but kinda worse than the already horrid original.

Well it's not done yet. And I remember playing that basewars, although not LL, a little better one. It was fun, why do you hate it?

Because it is just a edit of RPDM, and I want it to die.
[QUOTE=Llamalord;38592973]Because it is just a edit of RPDM, and I want it to die.[/QUOTE]
It is? Never knew that, (I am guessing RPDM stands for Roleply Deathmatch?) I always though someone just was like "I am going to edit darkrp into a gamemode called basewars!" Well I hope it makes you happy that I am not just making an edit of RPDM.
I updated the thread. I tried to provide more information, as well as updated with what is new.
It looks good but I don't think anyone is gonna donate to a private project unless they really know the money is going for that cause.

Thanks. Yeah, I might be able to get money from a good friend of mine to get a server up, but I am not expecting anything from anyone. I hope to get a server up so I can stop getting so frustrated. I just hosted a listen server and had around 24 people joining. Although I couldn't handle everything from my computer.

And that was also spawned by this:

The original rpdm.
Good luck with your project, if you can add some originality to it this time around.
I hope you didn't use any code from the original basewars, even as an example.
That gamemode should have been recoded entirely when gmod13 came out, which is hopefully what you're doing here.
Yeah it had to be recoded it's proberbly not worth it newbienation has 3 servers constantly full so people will just stick to 1 server and its being changed all the time and updated its not worth remaking anyway.
I didn't take any code from the old Basewars, or did I recode it. I have a server up for it, I actually did since last Sunday. But yeah it's name is Rock and Roll Gaming - Basewars. I haven't even been to Newbie Nation, I heard a lot of crap about it when people joined my server. My server is also progressing very fast, I try to get something new in every day. I don't want to go on Newbie Nation because I don't want to get mad, I hate getting mad. Feel free to try it: 96.44.144.131:27016
Well, for me I'm probably going to attempt to see if I can get some things working my broken Basewars.
once had a copy of this. There's still remnants of DarkRP code.
I used to have a lot of fun playing WCA's rpdm, it needed work on balancing though. Best of luck.
Where can i get the gamemode at i would like to make a basewars server D:
