Every player starts out with nothing, but will earn a steady amount of [i]Rations[/i] over time. [i]Rations[/i] are the currency used in Phase Four. You'll need [i]Rations[/i] to buy weapons, armor, ammo and items. [b]Making Money[/b] To earn more [i]Rations[/i], you can purchase a Ration Printer and Ration Producer. These will produce [i]Rations[/i] over time, but will eventually deplete their Batteries. You can resupply the Batteries by simply pressing USE on the generator. Be careful, other players can destroy your generators! Press the TAB button to bring up the [i]Main Menu[/i]. [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/crafting.png[/img] [b]Crafting[/b]. You can spend your [i]Rations[/i] on various items here. Some items can only be bought in bulk, so you may need to find other players willing to help split the cost with you. Once you've found a safe place, buy a Ration Printer and Ration Producer and guard them with your life, they will be your main source of income in Phase Four. Every *4 minutes* your producers will drop [i]Rations[/i], make sure you pick them up frequently! [i]Please note that your generators will produce less if they are too close to another player's generators. Try to find a isolated spot to keep them away from others.[/i] [b]Inventory[/b] [i]When you die in Phase Four, you will drop the [i]Rations[/i] and items that you are currently holding in your Inventory.[/i] From the [i]Main Menu[/i], click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/inventory.png[/img] [b]Inventory[/b] to manage your items. You can use items or equip weapons and armor that you are currently holding. Holding items uses up [i]Weight[/i]. Some items allow you to carry additional [i]Weight[/i] when equipped, such as the Jacket or Backpack. [b]Safeboxes[/b] If you want to keep your [i]Rations[/i] and items safe, you can store them in designated [i]Safeboxes[/i] around the map. Items in a [i]Safebox[/i] cannot be touched by other players, and aren't lost when you are killed. Each [i]Safebox[/i] will also protect you from being attacked by other players; however, if you have been attacked recently and attempt to seek protection from a [i]Safebox[/i], you can still be killed for a short time. [b]Honor System[/b] The [i]Honor[/i] system in Phase Four is used to determine which *Augments* a player can use. [i]Honor[/i] is gained by healing another *Good* player, or killing a *Bad* player. Likewise, [i]Honor[/i] can be lost by killing *Good* players or healing *Bad* players. Your [i]Honor[/i] will change while playing and can be seen in the top-left corner of the screen. From the [i]Main Menu[/i], click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/augments.png[/img] [b]Augments[/b] to view the available upgrades for purchase. Some *Augments* can be used whether you are *Good* or *Bad*, but some require a specific [i]Honor[/i] value. [b]Durability[/b] Weapons and armor have [i]Durability[/i]. As a weapon is used, or as armor takes damage, its [i]Durability[/i] will decrease. You can see the current [i]Durability[/i] by hovering over the icon for the item in your inventory. The more damaged the weapon or armor becomes, the less effective it will be. You can [i]Repair[/i] the item by selecting the [i]Repair[/i] option when clicking on the item's icon. Repairing an item will cost [i]Rations[/i]. The [i]Engineering[/i] skill will increase every time you purchase an item. The higher your [i]Engineering[/i] skill is, the higher the starting [i]Durability[/i] of weapons and items you purchase will be. For example, if your [i]Engineering[/i] skill is at 10%, weapons and armor you produce can have a starting [i]Durability[/i] of anywhere between 10% to 100%. [b]Alliances[/b] For better protection, and to get gear quicker, you can create or join an [i]Alliance[/i]. Each [i]Alliance[/i] has 5 different ranks that you can be promoted to. Other [i]Alliance[/i] members will also be highlighted green for easier visibility in the game. From the [i]Main Menu[/i], click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/alliance.png[/img] [b]Alliance[/b] to create or manage an [i]Alliance[/i]. Members of an [i]Alliance[/i] can deposit [i]Rations[/i] into the [i]Alliance Bank[/i] whenever they are within range of a [i]Safebox[/i]. Only members ranked *Seargeant* or above can withdraw from the bank. All [i]Rations[/i] stored in the *Alliance Bank* are safe from interference by other players. [b]Victories[/b] From the [i]Main Menu[/i], click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/victories.png[/img] [b]Victories[/b] to view the available achievements in Phase Four. Performing certain tasks will unlock achievements as you progress through the game, some achievements will reward you with [i]Rations[/i] or unlock new [i]Titles.[/i] Open the [i]Main Menu[/i] and click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/titles.png[/img] [b]Titles[/b] to view the [i]Titles[/i] that you have unlocked. You can set your current title from here, too. [b]Bounties[/b] From the [i]Main Menu[/i], click on [img]http://cloudsixteen.com/p4/icons/bounties.png[/img] [b]Bounties[/b] to view bounties that have been placed on other players. Killing a player will a bounty will earn you the reward placed on them. You can also place your own bounty on other players from this menu.

Damn, so happy to see this being re-worked. Was so awesome to play it back in the day, I remember it back from the day when it was Experim3nt. Will definitely be joining to try it out!

How many backdoors will this one have?

I like what you did with the UI- looks like a vast improvement over the original phase four.

Big new patch is coming this Friday night, so be sure to join in for the Cloud Sixteen community play session! [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/cloudsixteen]Join our Steam group for announcements and events :)[/url]

All the new features coming in the big patch tomorrow night (green has been done, red I'm still coding.) [img]http://i.imgur.com/UHA0lb6.png[/img]

Wow, making quick work of things, I love it. Looking forward to it :)

Big new patch is out! Much more friendlier for new players now :) 104.128.48.139:27033

Conna are your admins still abusing? Your reputation is pretty bad last time I remember. I remember hacking in your server shooting your admins, then they would chase me in noclip LOL

-snip-

Oh boy, the latest release of DarkRP! Just what I was waiting for!

[QUOTE=tyguy;48681439]How many backdoors will this one have?[/QUOTE] So many that the backdoors themselves will become their own gamemode. [sp]/sarcasm[/sp]

[QUOTE=_RJ_;48717595]When was that?[/QUOTE] Shit, probably the release before this lol the admins get so butt hurt, they go in observer mode to find us and try and kill us.

Fixed being able to punch people and them not being able to retaliate :v: Also about my 'past', that [i]was[/i] like 6 years ago when I was a teenager, I am 24 now and people change and move on with their lives. Don't really wanna get into ancient history, the gamemode is fun you should check it out :)

I won't lie, this gamemode looks really nice - I recall playing it ages ago though?

The way we can't attack anyone that doesn't have a weapon out is kinda stupid tbh. Some guy stole my printer and producer and I couldn't kill him. Found his printers, destroyed them. Then he just killed me.

Am trying to rebalance a lot of stuff -- new system will allow you to attack anyone with certain amount of item value in their Safebox too. I'll add in another system too where you can be attacked if you pick up somebody elses printers.

How did I miss this thread :p Welcome back Conna :D

[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;48737150]How did I miss this thread :p Welcome back Conna :D[/QUOTE] Thanks! It has been quite fun coding again for GMod, to be honest I didn't think I'd ever get back into it. But having a full time job in the games industry now kind of made me need to get back into a hobby, and I guess GMod has always been that fallback :)

[b]New patch![/b] [url=http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/104.128.48.139:27033/][img]http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/104.128.48.139:27033/b_560_95_1.png[/img][/url] 104.128.48.139:27033 Generators can be upgraded up to a max level of 5. You can also be attacked if you have more than $10,000 in your personal safebox. This is because the damage protection stuff is really just for protection for new players to get the hang of things. Once you have more than $10,000 stored away you aren't really a "new player" anymore. Re-introducing the Safe Zone, mainly as an area completely safe for trading and socializing. Show if a player is currently able to be attacked by looking at them (but not if the reason they can be attacked is because they are carrying a high enough item value.) Printer Battery supply will be multiplied by 3, and as such printers will produce cash 1/3 as much but 3x as quickly. This means you'll still end up getting the same amount from them, but you'll get them in smaller increments faster, rather than having to wait 4 minutes for the whole lot. Wages will come 3x quicker but 1/3 the amount (just increases the rate at which you receive your wages but over the same amount of time.) Picking up (with hands) any entity that doesn't belong to you will be seen as an act of aggression and will activate the attack timer. Removed the black intro bars when you join the server (annoying for Phase Four.)

The amount of damage players without any armor can take is ridiculous. Shot a guy about 50 times and he didn't die (glock)

It'd be cool if you added a bunch of new armors/weapons (considering the same models/sweps have been used for years now), I think it'd be pretty interesting to see additional content added like that once you've patched up all your issues.

[QUOTE=tyguy;48740577]The amount of damage players without any armor can take is ridiculous.

This major overhaul / patch has been released for free to existing customers. [url=http://store.cloudsixteen.com/cart.php]You can login at the Store or purchase here.[/url] Was a lot of work but I'm glad I committed to it. More to come, too!
