There now people can't see what stupid ideas I posted HA!
Right... Well good luck with that.
Hey guys I want to make a game that will compete with Garry's Mod lets post it on the Garrysmod forum. :downs:
this all sounds like good ideas, but it's going to be very difficult to implement.

also instead of public domain, make it GPL. It's a little more restrictive, so people can't just take it's exact code and distribute it as their own.
We'll only criticize you if you have nothing to show for this.

First, of course it'll be dificult which is why I'm taking volunteers. Second, I'm too lazy/young to get all this copyright stuff worked out (I'm 14... is that too young for having a copyright?)
Thanks for the quick reply! (and that goes for everyone else too - this is a nice forum)
He literally has done no work on this, the SVN in 100% empty :bravo:

I still need to decide a few design things. maybe someone with .NET experience can help. Which libraries/frameworks should I use? do you see any design flaws in my ideas? As for my personal skills I'm not very experienced but I understand basic programming ideas and have written a few tutorial-style python scripts. So anyway, I can just learn as I go (I'm a quick learner). I'm also very technical when it comes to computers. I have a lot of Linux experience (I think 2+ years or so) and I understand a lot of basic concepts.
Thanks again for the quick replies! (I'll stop with the quick reply thing now)

Because I'm still downloading development tools and of course busy posting to this thread so yeah. Notice I just registered the project? How would I have time to commit it even if I did already have code?
Now anyway, I have to go do a few things and then post a few technical design things on the assembla project. Ok?
It'd make more sense to [B]at-least[/B] start on a huge project like this before trying to get loads of people to do the work for you.
So you're saying you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.
If I can answer for him, I shall say [U]Yes.[/U]

First, I don't want to get in a argument so sorry if this angers you. Second, I'm looking for design/development suggestions at the same time, not just looking for slaves to do my work for me. And third, it says community's mod it doesn't say Pjwaffle's mod so yes I'm only going to be a member of the project not the uber code king who does everything. (But of course this doesn't mean you're doing all the work, and besides wouldn't you LIKE to do all the work for something this cool? Wouldn't you like to have a free alternative to GMOD that doesn't require getting a lot of seperate games first? Just think about that before another post ok?)
If you're remaking GMod to not require any other games, I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

It's not illegal to make a seperate game from scratch similar to another. Take for example Freeciv which even brags about how it's like Civilizations. And it hasn't gotten legal attacks for it's long lifetime so yeah.
not going to happen
So, you're not even talking about a mod... You're talking about a stand-alone game?
[QUOTE=MultiPurpose;21024197]So, you're not even talking about a mod... You're talking about a stand-alone game?[/QUOTE]
Exactly "Community's Mod" is just for the sake of naming... It's a completely seperate game!
I've underestimated the stupidity of this idea.
I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I won't change my mind of the look of this until I see some progress. Sorry.
Lemme guess, you have next to no experience in programming? And where will you get all your content?
He is trying to remake GMod.
* [B]Easy to port GMOD's Lua addons
[/B]That wouldn't make sense unless it's used in GMod.
Hold your horses! I am so sick of people maybe like him where they are like "oohh hurr i r maek game wif lik ub3r skill and it has liek lasa beeems that cum out of ur hed, nd it wil be so epc and relistc ad i wil maek lots of money!!11!"
I would suggest you get progress then post a thread about it; Including what you actually have, and a few idea's that you can actually do, instead of what I said.

If I wasn't so busy replying to negative posts I might have acctually got something finished by now...
And besides that My goal isn't to make money it's PUBLIC DOMAIN meaning anyone can "maek lots of money" besides that, my poor english writing is obviously "epcly" exaggerated un"relistcly". You have to admit I'm a bit more knowledgable than most people wanting to make a game like this. And most people like you described wouldn't know most of the vocabulary I used in the original post.

Well once everything's all setup you might want wiremod for example... And it'd be easier to write it in a similar Lua Dialect than rewrite it in C# or IronPython
Didn't I have [b]some[/b] good ideas? You have to admit I wasn't completely clueless like most:
"how doz i mak a mmo? sombody help meh plz!!!??? :D:D:D:D:D"

Ignore them.
Anyone can look smart.

So could you if you posted an idea about a project. How are you different? What's wrong with sharing ideas? There's a first project for everyone, and everyone has to start learning at some point. Not to mention, my Linux command line experience (sorry I forgot experience in this sentence :\ I guess I do have poor english!) has to go somewhere. (I believe sh based languages are technically considered programming languages)
And why do people keep marking my post "dumb"!? I want to make a game like Garry's Mod that isn't a mod... How is that dumb!?
I bet people just read the first paragraph, decided I was a n00b and decided to write pointless negative replies... I'm looking for [b]constructive[/b] criticism not pointless flaming.
I lol'ed at the title "Community's Mod" and how this isn't even a mod.
[B]so yeah[/B]
Do even understand the implications of putting something in the public domain?
It isn't as much the idea as the fact that you came in with exactly nothing and basically told everyone to do work for you..lol.
[QUOTE=turb_;21025215]Do even understand the implications of putting something in the public domain?[/QUOTE]
That anyone can make money off it and I'd get no credit? Whatever, my focus is making a fun game, not making a lot of money or getting famous.

You have a point... I probably should have worked on it a bit more first. But that's no excuse for flaming... if you don't like it don't respond...
