*Leveling System Temp removed intill later update*
Hello there firstly let me introduce my self , My name is AngryMad (yes it was formed upon the phrase "you mad bro").
i am here today to talk (advertise) my community's DarkRP server which is called Eclipse RP.
Now there are a lot of other servers out there and each to there own.
may have very similar if not custom things as well as ours but hopefully i can persuade you to come play over at our server.
ya never know - you could even become staff or even make new friends.
I originally decided to create this to attempt to learn lua and to make something of my own.
So i hope you just appreciate the work ive put in even if something looks so easy , trust me , its taken me 3 weeks to figure this all out.
plus tweaking it as much as i can to make things work perfectly.
So unfortunately we only have 1 week left on the server unless we can find someone who is willing to donate - the first 3 people to donate for Gold VIP ($15) will get lifetime VIP plus an extra $30,000 on top of what they currently get.

Eclipse role play has quite a few things for you to do while on our server which every aspect we have added we are proud of. We are constantly working on the server trying to tweak things and add extra things for our players to do , any bugs that get reported via the bug form in the F4 menu gets dealt with straight away also there is an incentive for players to report bugs at the moment.
When you first join you get $15,000 to start off with , we suggest you to go find somewhere to base , buy the ALL doors to that building , build a little base with fading doors and key pads (3 max keypads and fading doors) then buy a Regular printer and a gold printer (we suggest you to not play on the slots in-till you have at least $30,000)

We have a very cool point shop that allows you to wear items like hats , backpacks , Trials etc , when in the server type !ps to bring it up.
We even have a jukebox system that all players can here , we have made it so when people do play music it is very quite , to simply disable it for your self type PSJukebox_volume 0 and the music will be gone.

We have a car dealer NPC where the wealthy people *lol* can purchase vehicles , you are able to edit the vehicles color as well as add tail lights and a under glow. All vehicles save and you can even spawn/respawn them at the npc or store them in your inventory at the npc. You can resell your car back to them at the fraction of the purchase price if you want to buy another vehicle.

We have a fully working inventory system so you are able to pick up any weapons you buy , Be careful as when you are killed any items you are carrying will be dropped upon death so make sure to visit The Bank to deposit them.
To use the inventory system simply just switch to the inventory pickup and right click to open your inventory or left click to pick up an item , when in the inventory menu right click an item and you can either use - drop - or destroy.

Inside the bank we have Item Bank and ATM cash machines , as stated in the inventory system , you can deposit anything in your inventory into the Item Bank and this will save , VIP's get double the bank slots.
ATM's are very useful as you will gain interest with your money being in the bank , because if you get killed with money in your wallet , you will loose it.

Here are a few suggestions I can give you to help make your server more popular to Facepunch users.
Having 10 different money printers is unreasonable, by players having money printers; they avoid going outside to role play, and instead camp in their residence farming them. Having money printers at all is fairly unrealistic and will attract the wrong kind of players.
By implementing a leveling system, you're making your server an RPG. There's nothing wrong with an RPG DarkRP server, but if you want to pull it off correctly you need to add additional RPG elements. Gaining experience from farming money printers and killing npc's is not enough.
After visiting several DarkRP servers with the lotto machine addon; I've found that the money won from these machines is too often. Instead of players getting a job and role playing; they'll sit at these machines, collect millions of dollars, get bored and leave.
An inventory system is nice, but players that have a lot of money will simply become a gun dealer and spawn 100's of shipments, put them into their inventory, and never buy from another gun dealer again. A player's inventory system should be wiped after every disconnect, or else these jobs will suffer from no buyers.
Letting players buy administrative privileges is no good, and I'm glad to see you don't have this option available for purchase. A VIP system is reasonable, players pay money to keep the server up and receive a few, non-game breaking incentives. But you have three different kinds. A suggestion would be to have one kind. $2-5 a month with a few said incentives.
It's hard to find a good DarkRP server nowadays, and hopefully these will help out in some way.
Well i thank you for your feed back , the leveling system has been removed for now , the machines have been optimized to not make you millions , printers have been optimized to not make you millions either , the inventory for normal players is very small so they wouldn't have loads of space. VIP is needed at the prices we have over wise the server wouldn't get paid.
if you have any script suggestions or addons i could get then please do link them , many thanks
Is it a custom inventory? If not, what inventory is it? Is there any content that is custom to your server?
its an inventory that saves and what you mean? is there any content that is custom to my server? everything added on it isnt default and is customized for my server by me (im not a lua coder btw) so i think ive done a good job espically as it took me 2/3 weeks to do
I mean what inventory. As in what addon
take a look on our server :)
CoderHire/10
Nothing wrong with that. We use a few CoderHire addons ourself.

He means actually custom to YOUR server. Nothing on your server is actually custom for your server.
If you bought it/downloaded for your server it's just a normal addon.
I have updated the thread and made quite a few changes to the server , i hope you take the time to read this and hopefully give my server a chance , many thanks

1. Only certain jobs can have x amount of printers , plus there print time and amount has been edited.
2. the leveling system is gone.
3. the slots are there for fun , not to make millions.
4. shipments cannot be stored in bank or inventory. also anything in inventory is lost upon death so players need to store items in there bank , money printers cannot be stored either.
5. No one can buy for admin. only for VIP which there is only a few VIP benefits like a few extra jobs , a few extra printers , a few extra vehicles and some money. about 70% of our stuff can be obtained through non VIP means.
I hope this has cleared a few things up.

[QUOTE=Extronic;43563671]Okay, seriously, what is the point of an ammo dealer? Can't you just give the ammo to the gun dealer.
I mean, he sells the guns, he should sell the ammo for the guns that he sells as well.[/QUOTE]
The point of a ammo dealer is so there isnt a bizallion shipments for the gun dealer. due to there are alot of guns that uses different ammo so it can be confusing for a player to be spawning guns and ammo.

i understand what he means and maybe some of the server is bought or downloaded but it has been customized for the server , a lot of it isn't the same as the default of the add-on. 3 weeks i have spent fixing and editing addons that either conflict or don't work or just not right from the get go.
I apologize, but I cannot take this seriously as an advertisement with all the grammar mistakes. You should correct those as soon as you're able, apparently you are from the United Kingdom so English is probably your first language too.
