Radioactive Sandbox - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=Rambo_9;20261007]it wouldn't be hard to implement a simple weapon degrading system, but linking it to individual weapons would be difficult since the inventory system i use doesn't use "unique" items, it just uses their ID when storing them. [editline]02:32AM[/editline] The way i plan to do it is have a shitload of possible spawn points on the map. then have a think function that gets a fraction of the available spawn locations (like one tenth of them or probably less) and spawns random loot at them. when a player finds random loot, then another loot bag will be created elsewhere. this way, players can't just run around the map at each spawn point and expect to find something. the sheer number of possible spawn locations combined with random radiation spawns (randomized on map load) will make exploring the map looking for loot much more difficult than in that falloutmod you described. [b]i will be posting an example map in the mapping forum soon which details how to use the various entities i've created for this gamemode.[/b][/QUOTE] Will you link it in here?

[QUOTE=Roleplay World;20257551]If you never die do you loose on rejoining?[/QUOTE] Good question. I'll put it to a quick vote: Who thinks that inventories should be stored when you leave the server? [editline]06:43AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Roleplay World;20262618]Will you link it in here?[/QUOTE] Yes. [editline]06:44AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Psychokitten;20261092] Make it so that it is the three most-expensive items, that way they can keep their hard-earned weapon even if they forget to remove this supa-c00l th1ng4majig that they happen to have picked up. Happens a lot more than you would expect, really. I just looked in the back of my inventory in Oblivion recently, and I am surprised and even a little disturbed at what I found... :ohdear:[/QUOTE] I'm probably not going to do this anymore. Part of the fun of this gamemode is grabbing loot, if you killed a guy to find out that he got to keep his 3 best items, then you're basically left with all the less interesting shit he was carrying. [editline]08:28AM[/editline] More progress. At this point the gamemode is totally playable, although there's only 1 type of mission currently (locate and retrieve a random quest item) and there are no other NPC's besides traders. I made a quick testmap for showing the proper placement all of the entities, i'll post it tomorrow. I also implemented custom permanent stashes. You can put them anywhere in your map and the player will be able to interact with them. So if you want to make some stashes in hidden places like in STALKER then you can go ahead and do that. On my test map there is a stash inside of the washing machine pictured below.

[IMG]http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee200/SechsCock/rs_basicmap0001-1.jpg[/IMG] Another quest i was planning to do was some sort of headhunt scenario. You are given a random enemy in another faction and it is your job to kill him then return to your base for the reward.

Definately keep your stuff after leaving. It would be so annoying if it didn't save your character.

Will some of the item drops be things you can use to build with, like a teleporter or things like that?

Some sort of hunger thirst is/will be in? If you disconnect will you lose your equipment and items or are they saved? Looks great. cant wait to try it, Edit: Oh yeah, did you make the default player speed a bit lower, Gmod players are ridiculously fast by default D:

Also, will there be any sort of RTS element in this, like recruitable NPCs or resource gathering?

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;20267718]Will some of the item drops be things you can use to build with, like a teleporter or things like that?[/QUOTE] Not sure what you mean. This gamemode doesn't derive from sandbox so you can't build things with the toolgun. [editline]05:09PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;20267901]Also, will there be any sort of RTS element in this, like recruitable NPCs or resource gathering?[/QUOTE] There will possibly be NPC's, but they will only play a part in assisting the bandoliers. Resource gathering, not really. You can scavenge items that will make your life easier but that's it.

[b]v1.0 of this gamemode is released for public testing. Let this thread die.[/b] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=20271346#post20271346[/url]

One thing quick before I let this die, would I be able to make an edit of this that allows the use of the physgun and toolgun? And would you allow it?

no. i may add an option for people being able to use the physgun but i'm not making this derive from sandbox. it would fuck up the entire inventory system.
