Can the avatars be blue?

[QUOTE=OrDnAs;19062974]The point is, Having a personal avatar doesn't fit the description of Garry's Mod, where you need to build.[/QUOTE] That's not the description of Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is too epic to have a description. [QUOTE=PieFlinger;19103684]Can the avatars be blue?[/QUOTE] Yes. [QUOTE=WastedJamacan;19063398]I think it would be cool. And really, if you don't like it, you don't have to make one.[/QUOTE] And plus, everytime I see OrDnAs in a thread it's always him opposing things. And then everyone else becomes sheep. [QUOTE=Dukov Traboski;19067743]It would be cool if it wouldn't strangle the life out of the connection,[/QUOTE] What?

[/QUOTE] Are you one of those guys that think that Gmod is a [i]style of life?[/i] Dude, I am just telling that having an avatar like a Mii or a microsoft avatar doesn't fit with Gmod, but it could work, you could be wrong, I could be wrong.

If you don't have anything useful to say then don't say anything.

Think of it like putting little hats on your Sackboy in Littlebigplanet. it's not nessicary, but still awesome to maraud around in a russian hat. though nothing makes a better mingebot target than some nonse donning a fursuit.

People will minge and abuse this.... i don't know how, they always find a way to screw this, like running around with their "fursonas" or having a dick model in ttheir heads.

Jesus, some of you people are in this mentality to try to sprint away as fast as you can from what makes Gmod tick. This game ain't about avatars, its about taking a bunch of seemingly useless props from hl2/portal/tf2 and turning them into a creation, a masterpiece, a fun piece of junk to display/play/destroy. PHX and stuff definitely enhances this role but the most creative works still use as much as they can from the half life universe to create spectacular contraptions. Avatars do not belong in Garry's Mod. Gmod is not a fucking MMORPG. Gmod is not a forum. Gmod is not a social networking site. It is a sandbox of a FPS.

[QUOTE=BoingBoing;18933494]It doesn't even use physics. A probable good idea is just use low-poly models. If you have hats, why not create some avatars that go with the hat? Hatmaker, schmakmaker. It isn't global. And no, Garry's Mod isn't just sandbox.[/QUOTE] But it uses Entities and if you have to many of them "WARING CONNECTION PROBLEM 13.47

If you don't have anything useful to say then don't say anything.[/QUOTE] It's not just whether or not we use this avatar thing, it's putting up with seeing other people's avatars. Unlike what others have said, GMod isn't "about building" or anything. It's a sandbox, yes, but not just a sandbox. GMod is about stripping away everything, giving you the facilities to do what you like, and leaving you to your own devices. It's still not a social network, a custom avatar for each player still doesn't fit with the description of GMod.

GMod is about doing what you want. You can build if you like but it's not the main purpose of the game.

love the idea no more rp with the same player models. and if you think of it most gmod players play as a social network for online play.

Come on aren't player models enough for you people? I mean it's funny enough when you see a guy aiming at you with a briefcase but you'd rather put in at least 2 hours of coding and work just to make your avatar look like bin laden? Really...
