I'm rewriting perp for the community I'm apart of, I want suggestions - Garry's Mod

Basically I have PerpX2, which is an uglier version of the first one and basically it uses a SHIT ton of networked variables and a SHIT ton of useless stuff. Anyways, I'm rewriting the code and I would love for your suggestions in what I should remove/add or modify, The server will be on rp_evocity_v33x and gets really popular when it's actually up. It's in Australia and it's apart of the MindBlast community. The server will be up in a few days time but I'd just like to get some suggestion from you guys first on what I should change. Thanks, I'm not here for trolling or any of that and I won't release this, it's being written specifically for MindBlast (by me)

Hosting it from Australia is probably a bad idea (If you want people from other places to play like Europe or America.), it will give a lot of other players bad connections, and I am not sure if you are or not but just keep it in mind. One thing I hated about PERP was you needed to buy XP points, maybe in your modified version you could make it so people gain XP as they do things.

Who are you hiring to code it for you?

[QUOTE=Gfoose;31743745]Australia[/QUOTE] This is a problem for most players. From Holland (in europe) I get about 350 ping to Australian servers..

[QUOTE=Gfoose;31743745]Perp[/QUOTE] There's your problem.

Only good thing in PERP was the firefighter.

[QUOTE=Persious;31749754]Only good thing in PERP was the firefighter.[/QUOTE] I guess I can encourage people to become firefighter by randomly starting fires around the place from time to time? We have a large player base in Australia and I do understand you're from other countries, it would help me though to get your opinions on what should get taken out and put into PERP..

Make it less laggy and very different from PERP in general. Rewrite some VGUI/Derma, add some new inventory features, and fix DB issues.

[QUOTE=jrj996;31755879]Make it less laggy and very different from PERP in general.

perp..... perp........... sorry it's not in my database, my "Quality gamemodes that are worth even looking at" database.

Does anyone else get a headache when looking at PERP's code?

Firstly, fix your servers, secondly you need to plan it out more carefully, at the moment you seem to have next to no idea and seem to think everyone here will just give you all the ideas you need.

I have many ideas but I'd like to elaborate by asking for more ideas from others to see what would be better.

why to rewrite a leaked gamemode? make your new game mode

Fix it before doing something that draws attention.

[QUOTE=yokko;31768908]why to rewrite a leaked gamemode? make your new game mode[/QUOTE] I bought it off Hunts, and his fine with me using it, if thats what you're asking.

[QUOTE=Gfoose;31778862]I bought it off Hunts, and his fine with me using it, if thats what you're asking.[/QUOTE] then ok

[QUOTE=Gfoose;31778862]I bought it off Hunts, and his fine with me using it, if thats what you're asking.[/QUOTE] you cant buy perpx2 you dumb shit he never made it. so you are lieing

[QUOTE=godlike;31789796]you cant buy perpx2 you dumb shit he never made it. so you are lieing[/QUOTE] You, child! Yes, you! Get out of these forums right now. Or learn to utilize grammar and how to not flame due to a high arrogance level. kkthnxbai tl;dr lern to grammer an stop flamin u meany

[QUOTE=godlike;31789796]you cant buy perpx2 you dumb shit he never made it. so you are lieing[/QUOTE] Doesn't mean he doesn't have it, also I bought PERP2.5 off him, he gave me PERPX2 with it.

lol >buying gamemodes

[QUOTE=Nexus435;31815059]lol >buying gamemodes[/QUOTE] I don't understand, you guys yell at me for "illegally" using this, now that I told you that I've bought it, you guys go off at me for "buying it". Could you please suggest stuff for the gamemode itself and not talk about buying/selling "illegal" shit ?

Hi. I'd like access to help code and run a USA and possibly also a UK or Germany server.

You'd be better off writing something new. The time and effort it would take to re-write PERP could be used on something better. In the end it will still be like every other PERP server out there.

According to what Role Players say, PERP is more like DERP.

I'm just looking for inspiration to make it more unique compared to other servers.

The effort to change the mess of code called PERP into something optimized AND unique would take more work than simply writing a new gamemode similar to PERP.

Well I thought I'd bump this thread, the server is up and it's going great, I'm implementing new things to spice up the gamemode and it seems to be doing ok at the playerbase side. If you're from New Zeland or Australia then you should try out our server if you like PERP, I'm completely up for suggestions and bug reports and I know theres still a lot of bugs out there, the server is still in beta mode :) If you want to join then this is the IP: 203.98.81.81:27015 Thanks and have a great day :D
