Empires of Space Role-Play | An Open-Aura reconfigured Game-Mode; as well as customily made content - Garry's Mod

[IMG]http://fminc.freeforums.org/download/file.php?logo=_EOS+trail+logo.png[/IMG] Hi there, just a quick thanks before we get started, regarding the role-play game-mode. Just before any of you waste your time, if you're looking for a completely custom made role-play game-mode, please continue your search. Unfortunately, I am not anywhere as skilled as those out there, and have no knowledge of anyone looking for a new project to work on in this matter. This is, in fact an Open Aura redone to an extent. Everyone knows the capabilities, and the amazing(ness) that the Kuroscript/Open-Aura game-mode offers for a role-player. Alright besides that point, for those of you who have been around, you may of saw a thread much like this before, except it was adopted by another community "Freedom Attracts Players" which was a cake-script role-play server, and community that did okay for its time ( about three years ago ). For those of you who didn't it was called "Wall of Text Role-play", because of all the canon I had listed the first time this came-around. Basically, it's a completely custom story-line, and canon, some have even told me its extremely in-depth compared to most... That's still to be determined. For those wondering what to expect, think Dead-Space, A united world, Mass-Effect, and probably one too many monsters mixed together, and you've got the role-play that's planned to show up. A shortcut to our Canon can be found here : [url]http://fminc.freeforums.org/server-canon-f30.html[/url] [HR][/HR] Now, to give a few reasons why this is a little different than the normal Space role-play, or even Open-Aura for that matter. -Custom made maps ( Five in total, still all works in progress ) -Dead Space, and Mass Effect weapons nearly full replicas created just for the community ( In time will be fully released to the whole gmod community, after being fully finished) - Custom made space-ship Entities, that can be walked around in, and even customized with props (Be advised this is one of our longer projects, and thus will not be seen immediately. -Drinks, food, and other items that are normally not fully used or seen in other role-play game-modes, will be a bit more useful in this script. Depending on the food it will evaluate a certain ability. Ex : Energy Drink; Adds to maximum Stamina for x seconds. | Really the different things begind done to make this more used, cannot be listed without creating yet another walls of text documents. -In due time, we're actually going to have a coder rewrite part of the coding, which will lead to an expansion on the weather, and other random events. I, as a role-player for 6 years, feel there is never enough going on. I'm not talking zombie attacks every 20 minutes, that's just the childish events that don't even make sense. Anyways, we plan on implementing a few random events, one being Meteor shower, depending on the map we've got set up, it will trigger a small shower of fiery balls, which will pierce flowers, ships, and players. Giving a small amount of fear role-play to our space adventures. AS well as anomalies, like a random gravitational pull, which will cause a minor amount of damage to a ship, or even the space station. [HR][/HR] Okay, now as I was saying earlier ,we have a 5 part map pack. Three of which, being the same map in different conditions. Our first and foremost map, which will also be our standard map will contain a few different key things. - The Ship by which the role-play was originally designed 'The Harbinger'. - Meteor Field, and small mining colony area (Un-inhabited for customization by the players. Our server has a mining company that plans to begin a few weeks in, unless someone beats us to releasing them.) - A 5-7 level space station, picture it much like a Mass Effect themed station, Floor one being a peaceful, park and business area. Floor two being the rich housing, and security's main check point. Floor three being a mall type of area. As well as the other floors leading to docking bays, areas for gangs and small factions to inhabit, and a few other things But that's just the mere basics, not even including any major detail explained. But along with that map, is another replica of it, but with damaged areas, from a large space skirmish. As well as another one that is in a rather classified state. [HR][/HR] We're currently looking for community members who are interested in a new experience, or role-play. This is in-fact a serious role-play community. Also on that note, those who have ability in coding, modeling, or mapping are more than welcome to come to me regarding a position as a developer. Or maybe you wish to talk to one of our few developers about advice? We've got a few people who wouldn't mind helping those in need. If you really wish to learn more, and I hope you do. Our Information is currently hosted out of free forums : [url]http://fminc.freeforums.org/index.php[/url], feel free to register to our site, and even get involved. With the server around the corner, it's advisable to those interested to create their character profiles, and even apply for a faction or two. Getting to know our team could also help for when you get started. Before its stated, I of all people know how horrid Freeforums can be... But for a community not even out of the gate yet, I believe its the smartest move. But once our server releases, we will look into coding it into a website. Again, I thank all those who have read all of this again. Feel free to question or comment regarding the upcoming script, sweps, models, and maps. (Edit: We're also looking for those who like to work with computer art programs, we obviously need a more talented designed for our banners, logos, etc. Seeing as my skill is obviously horrid.) [editline]17th September 2011[/editline] I'll post up pictures regarding all of the custom content and the game-mode by the end of this upcoming week.

Cool ideas and all. But the question is can you do it? What I mean by that is lots of people like you come here and post ideas for gamemodes and such and they never finish it. I'll wait around for pictures. I'm interested to see if this will turn out good. As I said; great ideas.

cool

As of right now, I have 31 Major events planned within the next year. and over 200+ minor events planned that will entertain in times of extremely dull passive. that's just for the role-play, let alone the script. The guys we've got over here at Fear Me Incorporated, the community that's releasing it... Their all friends, and we work well together. If we stop development, than something serious has happened. But I digress. Don't expect this to be another failed attempt at making a good game-mode. The Game-mode will be made, but its worth is up to you as the people.

And remember, we are in dire need of new members. So if you are interested, head on down to the forums and sign up and/or join the Steam Group.

But I seriously think that you should remove things from OA such as grammar test, characters, "super fancy vgui" and tons of useless stuff like that. It just makes loading times longer. But as a whole - it seems epic! :D

There is only one question involving Grammar on Open Aura tests from what I have seen on other servers, and it shows that you should be able to type proper English so the others can understand you more. And removing characters? Then how would players play? This is a Serious RP Script and server.

Hey, if this is any help, I made a addon that has quite a few of the things you are in need of, such as the meteor showers. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1063437[/url]

Ours is being specifically designed for the maps we've got in development.

You just go and play with a character you have developed before. You can't reverse anything. THIS is serious RP. Because when you can create chars, then you can simply make many chars, drop all of the money from the chars to a friend and then he can give them to your developed character. That way you can make money much easier. So I htink that character creation is just pointless.

I have never seen an actualy Serious RP Script like this where there isn't that function. And you can't delete a character when he doesn't have the starting funds and there is a limit to character creating so it isn't infinite. And if your character gets Permakilled, you can make a new one sure but you can't delete the others with 0 funds so you would just be that one character your entire time on the server.

Look kids, if you want to talk about some half-breed version of role-play feel free -else where-. This isn't a place to converse about another game-mode. If you have something to ask, or actually give a comment on anything we've got here or our website. Feel free. Thanks for visiting our page, and/or website, but don't waste our times please.

Sounds alright. I'm not much of a "space" roleplayer myself. Looks good for people who like that kind of stuff, though. Edit: Disregard the above statement. This server will ultimately fail due to Play Dead's arrogant, know-it-all attitude. Here, I'll give you guys a Steam chat with him and I. Also, the Steam chat is about me co-owning a server with my friend and Play Dead tells him that I am a bad co-owner by lying to my friend about why I am bad. I made a mistake on the server I was co-owning and I fessed up to it and admitted I fucked up. But when HE makes a mistake it's okay and it should be forgiven. Anyway, just please read the chat before you join this self-centered asshat's server. [url]http://pastebin.com/ANPFYFbW[/url]

[QUOTE=Big Bang;32362393]Serious RP is not about making money. Simple as that.[/QUOTE] My point was that everytime you create a character you get money right? If that's true then you can create a character, give the money you recieve for the creation to a friend, repeat this till you hit the limit and then he can give you all the money you got from these characters to one you use for playing. That's what I meant.

Don't worry, I investigate anything interesting like that, and if someone just pops up with a bunch of cash we'll know. If I see someone handign out Laser Pistols, I know something trickys happened, and will review the system. But they don't start with shit unless they get the IC starter pack, or win one of the many competitions we host to promote activity. We've got one going right now actually. : [url]http://fminc.freeforums.org/in-game-competition-t74.html[/url] Check it out, maybe you'll be the winner, be a nice way to start the server ya know!

I'd suggest getting yourself cozy with our forums. Opening day is estimated to be this Saturday, to next Saturday. Further details will be reveled through our forums as it draws closer.

Can you elaborate a bit on what will actually happen on the server/what general etiquette is? ie. Will everyone be human? Where does it take place? Mostly on Harbinger? What are some naming conventions? etc as well as general server standards: What are your views on roleplay quality? How will you enforce it? What are your views on cybering? Is it bannable? Discouraged etc. Policy on racism in OOC etc? Emote policy? Do you have to flood the chatbox with thousands of /me commands to sit down, or are you fine with just... sitting down? What about attempting? Do I have to preface all of my /mes with 'attempts'?

The role-play itself takes place around the Station known as RXB, which is still a prototype on the edge of controlled space. And the harbinger. The custom map also has room for a large amount of ships, and ship entities. As well as a small mining asteroid field. [B]What are your views on roleplay quality? How will you enforce it? :[/B] We ask that you keep it completely serious, we understand the small slip-up, but to start yelling 'rape-face' in the colony, would be like signing your own death-wish. We ask that while in our server you try to keep the ooc to a minimum. If you wanna goof off, we have a ventrilo for anyone to use! [B]What are your views on cybering? Is it bannable? Discouraged etc. :[/B] We think it shouldn't be done in the public domain, we ask people use the 'black-screen' method. Or move to steam chat. [B]As for our policies, it would be easier to direct you too : [/B][url]http://fminc.freeforums.org/rules-policies-t81.html[/url] - That is our rules and policies page, which will change over time to fit rules that need to be within our guidelines. [B]Do I have to preface all of my /mes with 'attempts'? :[/B] Basically,we ask if people are around, you try to make sure every major action is role-played. IF you're in a room with a bar fight, and your sitting down, don't just stand up, role-play your actions. It's based on your surrounding environment, and common sense. Would it be fair, or just a bit of a jerk move.

I fixed the link to our policies, foolishly I forgot to add L to HTML.

I really hope this picks up, seems very similar to my dream game.

I apologize for those awaiting pictures; The company we order our server through is having alot of issues with their data-center. Once they've fixed their issues, we can get our server going, which also means we will have some screenies done while we have it tested.

[url]http://pastebin.com/ANPFYFbW[/url][/QUOTE] To anyone who actually paid attention to this post, this was a while back, when I demoted him from my up-coming community. (You may see it's action next to this one.) I let him run a spare Garry's mod server for Severance a while back, while we thought out a lot of other things. Eventually, I talked to Play Dead, and he had told me the entire past of Dead-ed here. I call him; Raptor Jesus, or Obama. Either which way, upon telling him that he may be removed, he went onto the server, deleted everything, and acted like nothing was wrong. When I went to talk to him, and pointed out this is exactly what Dead Play here had said happened before, he said that I was being unfair because he was tired. I hope I am not a dick for not trusting him with my community, as such a high rank, when he gets pissed at me for getting the slightest bit upset when he did said things. To last off this; Raptor Jesus has no real say in this matter, as he lets his personal experience over-take himself when posting this. Comments to what he said; [i]"But when HE makes a mistake, it's okay and it should be forgiven."[/i] He never made a mistake, so you have no real way to say that truthfully. [i]"Anyway, just please read the chat before you join this self-centered asshat's server."[/i] I laughed, as that chat which has saved all this time, proves almost nothing. Dead Play may or may not have had the best responses in said conversation, but that is opinion-able. Everyone has and had their sides, due to what had been happening. This was a long, uncalled for and unneeded evening that should not have taken place. I, myself, apologize for any miss-hap this has cause'd anyone, as I take full responsibility for even mentioning Play dead or anyone else in Raptor's demotion.

I mean really. You guys both blatantly tried so hard to type sophisticated in the hope of sounding more intelligent than the other, but you both spammed commas like there was no tomorrow. I'd rather have read a conversation which consisted of grammar akin to, "dude stop it i can change im good co owner with experience and stuff." Now to contradict that little bit: The conversation held no choice-altering evidence. It was all opinionated, with no evidence supporting either's claims. Although, as a side note, I played 2AM for a few days, and I thought it was terrible. No need to go into details, it's just my opinion.

The old one being 1337's, which he ran for a few days then tossed in the trash. The new one having nothing up, except for that server which Raptor had ran while I was working on the rest. If so, I hope you do not stay away from 2AM gaming because of this, as he will not be near it. The community following, and being completely different.

Interjection: What's all the fuss about "writing it for 2 years" because when it really gets down to it [i]nobody gives a fuck about the storyline[/i], they just want to have fun RPing. Spending 2 years writing a complicated story (which won't change anything) is hardly going to make the server an overnight sensation.
