[B][U]Summary[/U][/B]
RDM Refunder is a script that aims to mitigate the losses of one of the biggest flaws in DarkRP; RDM. The RDM Refunder allows you to refund your players in the event of RDM to keep them happy and motivated to play on your server. Lots of players join your server and lots of players also quit, this script will remove one of the key reasons your players are quitting. RDM Refunder has a simple UI which allows you to quickly refund your players and get them back to their roleplay experience, it is very simple allowing your admins to quickly make your disgruntled players happy. Admins can easily identify lives as RDM Refunder logs when a player died; this allows you to check against your general logs and make the nessecary decisions. Don't take my word for it, see it in action.

[B]Special thanks to Code Blue[/B] for helping me with many different things and challenging the way I think when coding.
Feel free to tell me if there are any bugs or weird things in my code, I've only been doing Lua for the past 8 months (my first programming/scripting language) and would appreciate some feedback, thanks!

Very nice. I like. A must-have for DarkRP servers. I'm using it myself; get it now!
Used to always have a similar idea back when I played RP, nicely done!
If you wanted to expand it, a great feature would be teleporting someone back to their death location, in case they were assgunned in an annoying to reach part of the map
Good idea, I'll work on implementing that now.
Appreciate the feedback :)
Edit: Commited this now, yet again thanks for the idea.

[QUOTE=Lunaversity;50449359]Seems like people would just use it to get their weapons back after an event happened. Then immediately counter it afterwords cause they got their guns back right away. Make it an admins' choice to refund their weapons instead of letting them.[/QUOTE]
im guessing you didnt read the thread all the way nor look at the script itself

[QUOTE=Lunaversity;50449392]That's just the config for who can access the refund menu? In general you'd give it to players(or donators) in that case, still they'll exploit it regardless of their tag in-game.[/QUOTE]
If you wanted it for choice of the admin then just make it so only staff can access the menu? you select a player from the menu and then it'll refund them.

I see now, the shitty quality on the video made it look like "Chose your life you want to refund" and the weapon in it. My bad.

Yeah he's my friend, does that mean he's not allowed to like my idea?
It's not like he called me the God of Lua or something...

it's like you're trying to sell a sf addon :speechless:
All things aside though its not that bad of an addon, and when I owned a server this would of acctualy have been useful rather than trusting a player that he lost x amount of weapons. Im not trying to sell this on either im just giving my opinion on it.
On some servers, the player drops his active weapon, so what if that is the case and the person who broke that rule picked it up?
Does it work with the default pocket, because when you die it drops the items (dunno weather there is a config)

I didn't really design it with that in mind, I'll have to think about what I could do to accomodate servers with that, I suppose I could check if the player has a matching weapon and then strip it.

This addon will work with anything that is returned by GetWeapons() so I doubt it would work in this case, I assume there is a way in DarkRP that I can find the dropped weapons and refund them somehow. I'll look into it.
Great job creating the script. However, I do not see why admins would need this. This is really a waste of server resources. Why not just use a command and give the player's weapon(s) back? It would be the same process, taking the same amount of time, finding if the person actually RDMed.

That's a horrible idea, what if someone just so happens to have the same weapon?

Unless I've misunderstood your doubts: this way you're certain your players get what they had, nothing more and nothing less, the new update to the script also adds in the config the ability to teleport players to their place of death. It's also a nice easy to use UI.

Obviously I will check if they were the killer or not before stripping them... ALTHOUGH there could be conflicts across lives so I would have to only allow it to strip them on the life that they RDM'd.
Regardless these are smaller details which each community / individual will have their own ideas and beliefs as to how it should be dealt with, I'm just trying to facilitate as much flexibility as possible through my code.

The point is that it logs the weapons so the players cannot lie about what they had, Most players after being RMD'ed will lie about there weapons to get more. This eliminates that issue.

don't really understand how this is a waste of server resources piled on top of the million other useless addons DarkRP servers normally have. It's WAY less of a hassle than having to give every individual item back that they lost

Assuming it's a good idea to interfere with RP and give players weapons back, Civil protection has nothing left to do the server does it all for them.

What? Civil protection are supposed to solve crime not RDM lmao. Unless I've misunderstood your post :speechless:
Neat add-on, good work! Would it be possible to make a RDA module as well?
