The servers are unstable? Could have fooled me. I hope it's not gone already, as I need to download some dupes.

Why? AD1 was used over 2? 3 years? More? Has GGG servers died during these years? No. Furthermore you can spawn with AD2 thing saved in AD1.

thanks for the heads up. I'm disappointed. AD1 is a buggy piece of shit that never should have been created in the first place. The fact that it took us a half a decade to get a proper duper has probably cost gmod half the contraptions people it had.
also ggg has always been unstable as far as I can remember. Then again all gmod servers are. As amplar's pointed out in other threads, and as I fondly remember, there was a time when 100+ welded prop contraptions actually were feasible. The engine's getting worse and worse.
If we had the 2006 engine and 2011 building methods we could have full-server wars and probably 1000+ prop servers.

Your avatar is currently making the same expressions as I am right now.
I asked TB if he knew anything about these bugs, didn't talk to him very long though. While if I were Sestze I'd be equally frustrated, I think he'll really be shooting himself in the foot with this one in terms of community. On another related note, Waxx is running a server now. My current damage control plan is to differ all my complex building (Swashplates, etc) to Waxx's server and use GGG for combat and mechanically simple building like tanks and simple planes.

Maybe you don't quite understand how things work around here just yet.
If your employer started giving you great health benefits on top of your current wages, you'd be pretty happy. if, after a few months, he randomly took it away because it was causing instability, you'd be pretty pissed.
Take that into GMod; People have learned to use AD2, and have grown accustomed to it. Hell, I know that I can't play on servers without it anymore, because my building habits have evolved over it. it's part of the building infrastructure, and removing it will prevent many people from being able to build at the same caliber they did beforehand.
It'd be like suddenly removing SmartSnap. There was a time when build servers didn't have SmartSnap at all, and nobody complained about it since it didn't exist, but if we took it away randomly like that, I promise you there wouldn't be all too many people who'd want to build anymore. This wasn't the best example, since PA has nearly replaced the need for SmartSnap, but you get the idea. The community has grown accustomed to AD2, and have grown around it and integrated it into their building practices. To take it away is taking away the building technique progression that evolved from it.
Smaller American semi WIP. 112 props. That means I have roughly 88 props to make a trailer for it, awesome.

protip: if you hit the prop limit and you still need to add a few props, turn them into magnets
fucking magnets how do they work

your employer all along should have been giving you health benefits (or your government). Not having them is a disservice. And we should have all along not had to have our contraptions go to pot because our duper was a pile of shit. Again, having contraptions fall apart upon duping has cost gmod a lot of good builders.
[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;34665076]protip: if you hit the prop limit and you still need to add a few props, turn them into magnets[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but I don't keep my stuff to about 200 props because of proplimits but due to RSO. So turning stuff into magnets will allow me to 'exploit' myself around the proplimit but not the RSO cap.
Damn great job Jack!

Colour is fine, but I would not recommend the material you are using.
Guys, I have the ACF installed and figured out how to make the engines work with gearboxes and stuff.
Is there anyone willing to help me with expression? As it's totally black magic to me and I would like to create simple cars and tanks with the ACF.
fuck, I just screwed up all the wiring I did on the truck. forgot to make a constraint between the control panel with all the wiring on to the truck. it's gone. fuck.
[editline]edit[/editline]
Truck is finished but turned out to be relatively ugly. Will post pictures later.
Are you tired of looking at all these boring shapes of tanks with one barrel? Don't like small pack of crewmen? Mother russia has a solution just for you! Why you play with one turret tanks when you can have FIVE at once!
T-35! Five turret tank operated by eleven crewmen and it only weights 45 tons!

Why would you play with one turret when you can have FIVE at once! Drown your enemy in the lead! Fire at him from every gun you can point at him! Make your comrades proud!
[quote]Before using this tank please talk with your doctor about modern russia or read recpie, if you can find any. This tank can be a danger for your life especially while fighting against german tanks. It's impossible to run from a enemy because it moves 30 km per hour and turning takes about 30 minutes. While being inside, cover yourself with additional personal armor like food cans, shovels and wood, because the armor is 20mm thin. Also try not to shoot your engine while operating turret on the back[/quote]
All I need to do now is make all these turrets be operational.

My new Tiger AUSF E tank, soon to be riding in the fields of the server "The Kill Box"
Shall first see service in:
"Battle of the brittain"
An event on the 10th of March wich invites everyone with an ACF build tank to fight on the server against eachother, TANKS only ofcourse.
I myself, Vindicator will be commanding the Africa Corps with the tiger, good luck!

[editline]13th February 2012[/editline]
To reiterate what i posted in gmod disc; sestze's removed AD2.
To clarify, sestze nor anyone else (including TB) has found any evidence linking AD2 to GGG's instability and "breaking over time."
TB tried to help and sestze went off on him, too.
RIP ggg
He told me he wants to test running the server without it, which to be honest I would as well. Not really any way to diagnose the issue without trying to isolate it. In the name of community solidarity we ought to give some benefit-of-the-doubt towards GGG and keep at least some combat over there, I'm not going to leave it entirely.
i would have no issue testing it if someone like kaf or foran was doing it, but it's sestze we're talking about. he'll keep ad2 off just out of spite.
Watch as Sestze goes off on a tirade and drives everyone away, thus killing off the last decent GMod building community.
I called it first.
Sestze could you please post your own opinion on these happenings before anybody here gets ahead of themselves with anything they say or do. I'd like to try and moderate this dispute.
Oh I did it entirely out of spite. Completely. Utterly.
Man you guys are such children about it. Please don't tell me what I can and can't do, especially if I'm trying to do something that'll help this shit work better.
Since removal, we've had all four servers up for seven hours with no crashes. After those six hours, we haven't run into any of the bugs we were facing with pasting certain contraptions, nor has E2 broken on any of the servers. All in all, it's pretty damning evidence towards AD2 if I can leave the server alone and not have any issues with it. This is a Sunday, from 3 PM to 10 PM PST, too. Pretty good hours.
Oh and if you tell me that it's because "ALL THE GOOD PLAYERS HAVE LEFT UR SERVER TO PLAY SOMEWHERE ELSE U DERP", good. If your shit's crashing us, I don't want you here either.
I've been using AD2 plenty and never had an issue with my e2. My E2s fucked up on GGG way before AD2 was added anyway; the server's never been totally stable, probably due to the various modifications over the years and the simple fact that gmod is an inherently unstable system thanks to garry's asshattery. I've never heard of this issue on any other server, and most servers with wire now have AD2 (I think it might be included with wire). This should isolate any issues to something else. If not, well, either way you have the community, the people who your server caters to, who your server depends on in order to not be empty, except for one scatmanmech, collectively shaking their heads in disappointment. It seems yet again admin drama has claimed another server.
tl;dr. I am disappointed. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw6ndZNLYUA]I thought you were more sensible.[/url] Now I guess I'm gonna have to go to whatever that other server posted was with the tank battle event named after an air battle or something.
