From looking at the screenshots, It looks like a bit how Zombiefied world started.
Which is a good thing, I enjoy gamemodes like this.
I'm sure it's only going to get better when Winsauce is going to host it (Low ping ftw :P)

Bleh... Keep the old one. Much better.
Hey Robert,
First of all, I have to say that it's not too bad for your first try.
However, there's some tweaking to do - I can't say them all right now (because there's a lot to say), but I will try to mention a few:
- Lockpicking isn't made well - level 8 allows you to lockpick doors that are worth up to $1,500, and level 10 (maximum) still allows you to lockpick doors that are worth up to $1,500 - this means, that, well, I wasted 2 experience points on nothing (which take quite a while to obtain when you are level 10+), and it also means that the $2,000 and $3,500 doors are impossible to lockpick, thus whoever purchases them is pretty much "invincible".
- "This gamemode centres on teaming up to build bases, and onslaught the bases of others" - are you sure? Building bases doesn't help much, since props can be destroyed easily, and the map isn't designed to work well for bases. I don't see how base-building relates at all to this gamemode or map.
- The server name has "RPDM" in it, and all the minges use it as an excuse of "I CAN KILL YOU FOR NO REASON, SEE IT SAYS DM IN THE TITLE".
- What is the point of the gamemode? Meaning, are we supposed to get stronger so we can kill the zombies on Sunday? Or... what?
All the upgrades, all the things you can buy/build, are all offensive/defensive - it seems the only thing you can achieve in the game, is get physically stronger, and the only way you can spend money is on stuff that will help you kill other players. Is the goal of the game to kill other players? I think you should consider adding other "non-DM" elements to the game.
I have more to say, and in fact I'm very willing to help you in your server, please contact me on Steam @ tomeron2
-T.

I dun code anymore ;)
I've been speaking to Robert, we have some good plans for this, it's going to become pretty similar, but also far, far better in many ways. Trust me.
Main differences are no npc shops and no set capture points.

Bring back the old one...

I hate coding for GMod. And why anyway?
I played again today, it's too much of a DM fest currently, I'll talk to Robert about ideas/plans.
My ideas:
+ Inventory system for guns and so on
+ Loose 5% of money AND active wep on death, puts people off gung-ho attitude
+ Reduce damage massively, making for extended battles and fights
+ Have like 4 gangs SET, like gang war, stops tonnes of 1 player gangs
+ Allow players to set their own spawn points, based on the bases they own
+ Mechanic fixes/upgrades cars
+ Builder spawns props for a cost
+ Car dealer class
+ Cars, weapons, items all in an inventory, save between sessions
I just dont like this one. Yours looked so much more promising.
Also, Not on steam anymore? :/

Agree, it is a DM fest, and in fact I'm starting to believe this IS a DM server - it's called RPDM, everyone kills each other, and the only thing you can do with money is buy weapons or defensive stuff.
I think Robert should start focusing on this - does he want to have a DM server, or an RP server.
If he wants to have an RP server, he needs to get rid of ALL of the guns that you spawn with, except for cop (seriously, a cook spawning with a shotgun? Where's the common sense here?), and give players more goals other than "GET MONEY TO BUY MORE WEAPONS AND GET XP TO DEAL MORE DAMAGE".
If he wants to have a DM server, I don't even care, I will be gone the second I hear him saying "It's a DM server".

lol so fussy. Rarely, on mac mostly (ftw), [email]nick@kerplunc.com[/email] is my msn though :)
[QUOTE='-[ Fizzadar ]-;17495053']@Nacon we might be moving to a new bigger server soon, hosted by us.[/QUOTE]
Yaayyy... err... uhh. I'm gonna lose all my experiences and money from the current server, am I? :/
[QUOTE=Nacon;17511674]Yaayyy... err... uhh. I'm gonna lose all my experiences and money from the current server, am I? :/[/QUOTE]
Probably, we're going to move to MySQL from GMod's default SQLite at some point, which is probably when the server moves. So it'll be a while, I expect.
There have been one or two RPDM servers in the past that nail it. Most people didn't run through the streets shooting everyone they see, but created enemies when they start raiding bases. It's an extremely delicate balance, and is insanely hard to create it that balanced.
What I tried to do was make it so if you did just DM then you would lose out by losing karma, which means you are a more appetising target for other players to kill or arrest for more money.
Not perfectly balanced but hopefully I'll get there eventually.

Agreed on both, I think some of my suggestions, the ideas me and Robert have been talking about etc will help us achieve this perfect balance, because it's awesome when it works.
cool gamemode using it now
I'*e made many *hanges yesterday and fi*ed a lot of bugs. I'll upload this new re*ision later. At the moment I'm trying to work out why some of my keyboard keys aren't working.

Time to clean your keyboard for dusts, crumbs and hairs.
Either air blower or open up the case and wipe.

It's a dumb Microsoft one I got with my PC, and I can't get into it at all. No worries though, I stole my dad's keyboard for now until he notices.
Well my keyboard isn't from Microsoft but I have to pull out the keys to get the screws. Your might have that. Although depends what kind of key they are, mine are snap-able. Try researching on google for that model before doing that.
This game mode sounds fun :) will try it soon :3
The last few nights the server got quite a lot of clients, between 10 and 16 almost all the time.
Then the L4D update came.

Yup. Im downloading it at this very moment.

Sorry if im trying to make myself involved, but how about FactionWars?
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;17606011]Sorry if im trying to make myself involved, but how about FactionWars?[/QUOTE]
Good also, but any reason for not using Gang War RP? (RP is essential! because 1. it's RP and 2. it's hilarious to watch elitist "rpers" try to explain that it's [i]not[/i] rp)
I have to agree with Peanut, Gang war sounds like what little kids would come up with.
Also, it's not even RP anymore, don't kid yourself. Having that part of the name could cost its general respect and judgment.
FactionWars sounds slightly better but maybe a name can be found if it has a bit of story history and a theme.

-sorry for late reply-
I totally agree with 2, its pretty fucking halarious. I can understand the need for RP in the name so people basicly know what the gamemode is for, but the original title maybe even a few intelligent people may get off-track while trying the game for the first time, I was just trying for something along the lines of that, once again sorry if I'm making my self involved with the creation of this gamemode, just a suggestion.

I feel sorry for the people my age that give people my age a bad Reputation (I'm 12*), who cannot figure out how to comeup with anything without copying someone else's work or ruining other peoples' fun. I enjoy War RP or something along that line as long as thats what's the current server is on and/or its only me and a few freinds on a server waiting for people to join. Once again, sorry if im making myself sound involved with the production/release of this gamemode.
*HA! WERENT EXPECTING THAT HUH?!
I joined, and I got spawned killed more than 60 times by a auto shotgun, this is worse than DarkRP.

That's what we're going to change.
Also, it is RP, or will be.
Its really fun... when you have money
