I though of pulling a discussion together to see what you think of FRETTA and its gamemodes... Do you like Fretta or do you think it has some week points. Do you host a Fretta server? I really want to know what you think.
I've been working with Fretta13 since I started learning Lua back in March in attempt to make to create a Minigames server, which has been fun, frustrating and I've learnt a lot. Pretty much any Fretta thread you see recently Facepunch, I like to look at and try to contribute to.
Unfortunately, no one really uses it anymore, so if I get stuck with an issue or error, I'm kind of on my own. No one in my community knows much about Gmod gamemodes, they're knowledgeable in other stuff and Facepunch doesn't come up with a whole lot, either. Like, for example, on my dedicated server, it doesn't seem to be loading shared.lua for individual gamemodes correctly and the teams are the same on every gamemode. I asked for help on this in another thread, but I didn't receive an answer.
I do, on the other hand, really like the design and f1 menu and all that stuff. The way it's been coded, too, is also brilliant. I also find looking up old fretta gamemodes and trying to convert them to Gmod13 a lot of fun and a great challenge for myself.
What it does is great, but I do wish I had an alternative with proper support.
Ahh, I remember the good ol' days of Fretta. Had a blast on my servers running it, the only problem was developing something on it to truly make it standout above the rest.
Planned on hosting my own on my VPS, but nobody seems to be interested in them anymore, so it'd be a long shot at success.
Thats why I have pulled this thread together. I never see Fretta anymore. People think its broken or can't find a Fretta base I guess.
Damn I miss Fretta; great gamemode. Although on one community I played on, they added deathrun to their Fretta, and that was all that was played.
Well the only most used server using Fretta is LifePunch. I'm not even sure if all of there gamemodes are fretta.

Allot of the gamemodes for Fretta don't even need to be converted. Deathrun, GunGame!
Also Kickass
LifePunch does not use Fretta. We coded our own gamemodes and base entirely from scratch.
