Ok ive done a little previous programming experience and i need some help. i have yet to learn lua but once i do i want to do this. i want to make a sandbox server but with a twist, there is a lobby system that has like teleporters to the huge areas of the map and npc's which you can buy stuff of and cool stuff like that. and different areas, levels and custom pointshop.
it is sandbox with differnet areas like gmod tower (in a way) but with npc's in the lobby and such where you can buy various things like custom "Q" Skins and hats etc. there will also be acheivments and custom areas of the maps where you can do various things like go to the toilet, have a shower etc..
Also if i can put it in the code i will put the addition of apartments which you can buy and live in, these will have beds which you can sleep in, interactive 3d internet streaming radios and ways to order food. i want to create the ultimate server so you never have to get off it to go onto another server! :dance:
this seems quite ambitious so i want to ask a few questions
1. is there a map already out there for this purpose or not? (if not ill make my own)
2. would i have to make a scratch gamemode for this
3. how easy would this be and could you point me in the right direction?
PLEASE dont rate me dumb! (they wont listen)
Sandbox with teleporters? It could work.. What unique stuff are you going to add?
Here's how to setup a server: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/server_srcds_steamcmd/setting_up_a_server_with_steamcmd.lua.html[/url]
You only need both of the bat files if you want HL2, and other related protected content. If you only want TF2, CS:S, DOD:S and GMod only use the bat with 4020 id in it.
I'll be releasing a base game-mode with a ton of classes, helper-functions, etc soon. Here's a skeleton game-mode. It'll show you how to create a game-mode, what to type in the txt file, what to name the folder and the txt file, and how to include files. It is set up to recursively include files in client, shared and server folders with an extra for content/maps/<map_name>/ files. Just drag and drop files in for them to be loaded. If you want to use Sandbox as base, make sure you add that in the txt. Some functions may need to be re-defined if you do sandbox for everything else to show up. It may be easier just to modify sandbox: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/_redistributable/basedev_gamemode.rar[/url]
Providing you can find the right map, which I remember years ago because that huge sandbox map with the train and the teleports and stuff, this probably wouldn't be too hard, honestly
What do you have in mind for NPCs, though?
Well i was thinking Npc Shops, a menu pops up and you can buy custom things like q menu skins, trails, hats and maybe other features like buying medical drugs and doctor check ups
So it would be like a sandbox with some DarkRP(because of the money, drugs and doctor)?
No, god why do people assume this? it is sandbox with differnet areas like gmod tower (in a way) but with npc's in the lobby and such where you can buy various things like custom "Q" Skins and hats etc. there will also be acheivments and custom areas of the maps where you can do various things like go to the toilet, have a shower etc..
Also if i can put it in the code i will put the addition of apartments which you can buy and live in, these will have beds which you can sleep in, interactive 3d internet streaming radios and ways to order food. i want to create the ultimate server so you never have to get off it to go onto another server! :dance:
So basically it is Gmod Tower mixed with Capsadmin's server.
This project is massive

Yes basically yes. but i dont want to copy them infact just know it makes me thing of their servers. anyway i dont want to get anybodys hopes up this gamemode is going to take a LONG time to make. although i will put it up on github when i have the gamemode ready enough to play stable.
