An idea for a server - Garry's Mod

Yesterday night me and my dear friend [url=https://facepunch.com/member.php?u=385323]Therma[/url] were talking about how fun it would be to play DarkRP the way it used to be back in 2008-2009, without all the "no fun allowed" rules such as no RDM, FearRP, advertising raids and all that yadda yadda, we would build the server upon DarkRP 2.3.5 (oldest version of DarkRP I could find online), classic RP maps such as downtown_v2 or oviscity and all the trending addons of 2008, such as Wiremod with no E2, fading doors and all the stuff older players can think of. Would facepunch play this?

This sounds pretty interesting I would join for the fun of it.

Problems: 1) Facepunch has a history of unreliability with what it 'supports' it will tend to say that it loves the idea but follow the generic pile of shit that exists. 2) Facepunch is just the exact kind of people who would almost certainly ragequit having been RDM'd - because people have grown very used to home comforts to stop it. 3) You'd attract a lot of the 'unwanted scum' from other servers looking to stop it from being Fun and instead just go on mass RDM sprees at spawn - which as I recall weren't very fun to be on the other end of.

Well if that turns out to be the case I can just shutdown the server, doesn't seem too much of a problem

I'd play it, are talking old school DarkRP as in vanilla?

[QUOTE=Lemmie;50389048]I'd play it, are talking old school DarkRP as in vanilla?[/QUOTE] Absolutely, only a few building related addons, maybe some "improvements" to make the experience more fun, but absolutely nothing gamechanging

[QUOTE=Loures;50389220]Absolutely, only a few building related addons, maybe some "improvements" to make the experience more fun, but absolutely nothing gamechanging[/QUOTE] Ah those were days!

I got a few suggestions. Replace money with "credits" Kind of like serious RP. But in a darkrp form. Sellable items should be props again. Like a watermelon store. With melon props. No M9K Weapons or FA:S (Wobbly and hard to use) use CS:S weapons. A rifle should be at least 80k. And pistols should be around in the thousands. depending on what kind. Actual effective ways to make money that don't require you to spend 9,000 dollars. Printers to be expensive. And In return, they give 20k every 10 mins. WhiteListed cops.

would it be the type of server where people are free to just fuck around? there have been a couple of successful facepunch servers like that in which we created our own fun with hugely flexible rules

[QUOTE=TCB;50391066]would it be the type of server where people are free to just fuck around? there have been a couple of successful facepunch servers like that in which we created our own fun with hugely flexible rules[/QUOTE] But they are all dead.

[QUOTE=TCB;50391066]would it be the type of server where people are free to just fuck around? there have been a couple of successful facepunch servers like that in which we created our own fun with hugely flexible rules[/QUOTE] It would be a pretty lax server yeah.

What's the status on this?

I would play. The older maps seem better then the new ones

please make this. I was just thinking the other day how awesome it'd be to play classic DarkRP again. I'm tired of the same ScriptfodderRP copy paste bullshit with retarded powertripping admins.

[/QUOTE] or just make everything balanced and have realistic prices and payouts so we don't crash the server's economy in 2 days. [quote] WhiteListed cops. [/quote] imo, having minimum playtime for police jobs is a better idea so everyone can get a chance to play them, but only the serious players.

If you want it, I've still got a copy of DarkRP 2.2.19.12 from before Falco swung the door open and ran off with the pieces. Just let me know where to send it. I consider it abandonware since I've been working on building a better gamemode - but it should still work OK and I'm not aware of any security issues. Please check that though, don't take my word for it. Falco might have discovered problems since then. Alternatively, if you want to try something like DarkRP but based on Cakescript, there's CityScript [url]http://github.com/philxyz/cityscript[/url] I have to fix some of the labels and re-introduce the cars for the car dealer, but other than that, it's ready-to-roll.

If anyone else wants it, I uploaded it here: [url]https://github.com/philxyz/darkrp2.2[/url] I tested a few things and it seems to work. I had to fix the fonts, ValidEntity->IsValid and timer callbacks, but apart from that, it ran. The version number is 2.2.19.13 It will appear in the server list as "DarkRP 2.2 Classic" Feel free to use it however you want.

"Free-For-All RP" That's all I have to say.

Dude, you literally just described the new Garry's Mod server I created. I know I'm not allowed to advertise, but just check our group out: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/oldfashioneddarkrp[/url]

[QUOTE=MadParakeet;50457469]Not to bust your ballsack but the IP you've listed is a private address.[/QUOTE] idk what you're talking about, I joined the server from his website [URL="C:\Users\User\Documents\oldfashioneddarkrp.html"]C:\Users\User\Documents\oldfashioneddarkrp.html[/URL]

I know I'm not allowed to advertise but I'm going to do it anyways.

Ive Tried doing this its set in 1950's tho and its seriousRP so im not letting anyone get away with shit but theyre seems to never be players on, come and have a look it just isnt working out for us: [B][U]185.38.149.17 (EnviousRP)[/U][/B] [editline]6th June 2016[/editline] Ive Tried doing this its set in 1950's tho and its seriousRP so im not letting anyone get away with shit but theyre seems to never be players on, come and have a look it just isnt working out for us: 185.38.149.17 (EnviousRP)

You are going to have to do some fixing up on DarkRP 2.3.5 if you intend on getting it to work in GMod 13. Best of luck to you.

It's already done. He's got DarkRP 2.2 Classic [url]http://github.com/philxyz/darkrp2.2[/url] I'm not maintaining it forever though, so ultimately, yes. Others will have to put in the work if they want to keep it working.

I want to build a new gamemode off of DarkRP, but the latest version has Falco literally screaming at me not to fuck with the core gamemode files in the comments. Well, bullocks to that falco fellow! I'll build it off of an older version!

[QUOTE=legendofrobbo;50499899]all i can say is good luck working with that spaghetticoded shit lmao[/QUOTE] Yeah, this is DarkRP before it was cleaned up. I made it work but I didn't bother making it pretty. Cancer is cancer. Life's too short.
