Remember lightrp? Here it is, but better, and redone. - Garry's Mod

[b]What is this?[/b] This is a idea I'm coming up with that has to do with revival of true Garry's Mod role-play. As we all know, it is un-reviveable. But what we can do is make it as light as possible and provide a good, role-play friendly environment with as less script as possible. Unlike almost every role-play gamemode, we will not be using the standard f1, f2, f3, f4 and tab menus like you see in Kuroscript( Now Nexus, an example of what we don't want. ), and CakeScriptG2. Another thing this gamemode will not include is the "Items." you see in all roleplay gamemodes, we don't want that, we want it light weight. So why not make it instead of having items, just restrict spawning props and have standard models become a "Item". You don't need some special "On-use" function, when we can easily make a script to operate with all props. We will call this gamemode ExtraLight, hence how all the feautures will work. Well, I better explain all the features not only for you, but as a todo list for me. [b]To-do:[/b] Well, first off lets start with sandbox's Q-Menu. We will be removing the Q menu completely and remaking it to only show tool selection. Now, considering that, how will props be put in? First off there will be no item systems as I said, and everything will be prop based. Now, you're probably thinking: [i] - We can't spawn props. - We can't do anything besides talk. [/i] You're wrong, props will be purchaseable by talking to an AI. I will explain the AI system now, Basically, everything is AI ran. If you want anything, you talk to an AI. Here's a list of features available by speaking to AI's. [i] - Props( Basically how I explained how there is not items, and you can just use models ). - Clothing. - Scripted Weapons( AKA SWeps, these sweps won't all be for killing, but for other things, mainly just for looking cool and killing other NPCS. ) - PExtras( Meaning "Player Extras", what this is, is changes on your player that can do different things, such as Armour, Health, Jump Height(?) and we will take suggestions for more things if you want them in. [/i] [b]Now that we are done with explaining AI's, I'm just going to say a quick list of features.[/b] [i]- Limited VOICE chat( Yes, voice chat. This is the only gamemode that will support In-character voice chat, if you aren't serious, you're only getting one chance, Then you're banned. Forever. ) - A text styled chat system. ( All available with / prefixed commands, /whisper, /yell, /ooc, /me, /action which is basically /it ) - Ability to set your character name and physical description. - Ability to purchase doors( Basically like in every other gamemode, unfortunately ) [/i] Well, that's all, there's more but I'm tired from typing, haha. But basically, what I want you all to know is that, well.. If you know what LARP is, and LARPing( Live-action-role-playing. ), which is basically role-playing in real life. Everyone is serious, and they do it for fun. Everyone remains in-character and is enjoying themselves, we are going to allow voice chat. Which will only be used for IC, and text will be IC. The ONLY way you can talk Out-Of-Character in this gamemode is by using the OOC channel( /ooc prefix ) and talking in there, or steam chat. And the main idea of this, and our motto, is [i][b]"We set this up to have fun in a secure, serious, role-playing environment for online role-players and re-enactors. Not for coming in, getting money, and guns, and killing everyone with a job or flag or whatever you want to call them. Have fun, Live your characters life, and just have fun."[/b][/i] [b] Thank you all for reading this, please post your suggestions, constructive critisism and ideas. Just stay on topic to this idea, and don't derail the thread by talking about DarkRP, or Cakescript, or jobs or Nexus, or reffering this to any other script or community. =]. Also, please rate the thread, so I can see your thoughts.[/b]

I don't know, the weapons would seem pretty useless, but I like it.

are there classes like mayor or cops or cook or whatever? or is it like lightrp where you only have the cops and the citizens (or whatever class there was)

If everything is done by talking to an AI, it reduces interaction between players, which reduces actual roleplaying.

Just restrict it so that people can't buy every single door on the map by themselves.

From what I could gather regarding the voice chat, I'm guessing that they managed to create a voice radius so that only people who are close to you can hear what you are saying.

[QUOTE=Myrrdin;22702155]From what I could gather regarding the voice chat, I'm guessing that they managed to create a voice radius so that only people who are close to you can hear what you are saying.[/QUOTE] Not the first time it's been done. Both PERP1 + 2 had this feature.

[QUOTE=KFrohman;22702382]Not the first time it's been done. Both PERP1 + 2 had this feature.[/QUOTE] Indeed, hopefully this won't turn out the same way as PERP did.

Also nice would be, if you are beside him, fully volume, and than more far you are, that quieter you hear him.

[QUOTE=proch;22703922]Also nice would be, if you are beside him, fully volume, and than more far you are, that quieter you hear him.[/QUOTE] Not possible unless this guy wants to pack in extra binaries.

[QUOTE=Myrrdin;22702723]Indeed, hopefully this won't turn out the same way as PERP did.[/QUOTE] DarkRP has it. Or at least the DarkRP server I play on has it.

[QUOTE=esalaka;22701647]-snip-[/QUOTE] The weapons we make aren't for killing, and the part about killing NPCs was alraedy removed. The weapons the shops sell are for other things, [editline]11:12PM[/editline] [QUOTE=proch;22703922]Also nice would be, if you are beside him, fully volume, and than more far you are, that quieter you hear him.[/QUOTE] I don't want to make a DLL for it. [editline]11:13PM[/editline] Also this will be NOTHING like perp hopefully, besides the NPC part.

Terrible design. I mean, really, terrible design. There's nothing redeeming I can find in this, it's just terribly thought out. For christ sakes, please avoid making these kind of threads if you have no intentions of posting that you're making any sort of development asides from the usually totally fictitious thinking phase usually given by hyperactive kids who think they can be the ideas guy.

It's not really a idea, it's nearly done. Chat is completely finished, names, money etc. Just touching everything up.

And when a server is coming out? That could honestly make a little light in the dark room of the RolePlaying rebirth.

This is in no way "better" than LightRP, it isn't even the same thing. LightRP is just that, a Light roleplay script, no features that won't be used, no useless junk added that could not be RP'ed out instead. Don't try and advertise this as LightRP, for goodness sake.

[QUOTE=SchumacherAlt;22838132]Well, what the dev is saying is that it's not relevant to the LightRP gamemode, he just means LIGHT-ROLEPLAYING.[/QUOTE] Adding NPC shops != light roleplaying. A light script is something with minimal features that can be downloaded and jumped into almost instantly, no faffing with NPCs, just players. Unless I mis-understood you there.

No, you're completely right, it was the OPs mistake, and my mistake as I am also a dev, to call it a variant to LightRP, because you're completely correct, it's not lightrp, or Light-Roleplaying. It's more of a Casually serious roleplay that you can have fun in while playing, not be so serious like in most "Serious" servers you see in Garry's Mod. Also the name is now CCM( Community Creative Mod ), I kind of got the idea from Conna's 2007 gamemode called CCRPM( Community created roleplay mod ), but I thought Community Creative Mod would be more suitable, because I'm letting people give me suggestions and that's how it's being built. So my apologies, and the OP's, for using LightRP as a term in this, you're completely corrrect.

So many "you're completely correct"'s there. I wasn't ragging on you too much about it, its just a small thing that was bugging me. Though I would like to see how this turns out mind you.

Though I would like to see how this turns out mind you.[/QUOTE] Yeah, lets just say I got carried away in explaining what we meant by LightRP, but anyway, here's a list of what we've gotten done. - Chat( /yell, /whisper etc. and Chat tags( [OOC], etc. ) - Names( So you can set an RP name, this will ask to be set on your first time in the server, and it saves to the server so you don't have to do it again, but if you want to change it, you can easily. ) - Money( Money system that saves on the server ) Right now I'm working on two menus, one to set your name, and one to pick your model.
