Gmod Educational Server, For all your learning needs... - Garry's Mod

Can I teach stuff like basic contraptions? The most complex thing I've ever made is a 5-minute bomber... Perhaps I need to enrol... :P

Well i'll be resting for abit since i can't play games for a while unless some one makes a one handed controller for me to use. So i'm going to add/fix a few things on my slow recovery. The server will always be up now and it will update when no one is on. So don't worry about it updateing when you've made some thing really cool since i will check the server aswell. I hope people get back to this since i feel i've let alot down from the past 2 days. Server is still up.

Sweet, Wiremod and Life Support lessons. I can't wait. :D

I used to play Garry's mod 9 all the time, then 10 came out and I just got it yesterday, it has been a few months since I last played Garry's mod so I am going to need some help.

[b][Edit][/b] Good news, servers back up properly, and updated to the latest build!.

Please join the server. There is Dragontailxx there that will hapily help you out. Thank you for reading! Server name: The Education Server!

Finally I don't have to be so fucking retarded!

I said it was a good idea Dan :v:

Yeah, i'll believe you, this time. But really, it's doing what it should be, although not quite the rate my imaginative mind told me it would but it's working.

Facepunch is great when you want help, providing you speel right when you ask for it. Otherwise you get laughed at and booed.

Ahaha, I used to have a school server in Gmod9. 3 desks. It was for ent_fire scripting.

Shame ent_fire either doesn't work at all, or i can't get it to work eh?. For future reference, we are looking for people experienced with Wire to teach both us, and the public that joins our server. Soon i shall be releasing a map for the server, specially designed to give good explanation of what tools do, and how to use each one. Jamie's working on a scoreboard to show whether you're a teacher or a student, and possibly, [spoiler]An awards menu to see your passes and fails at exams on the server![/spoiler]

Server is up again. On time aswell. please join and teach. I might join today aswell. Thanks for all your posts so far. They are all positive comments which i like to hear. Thanks for reading and please join.

The first Education map is nearing completion, it's already on beta 4 and i only started yesterday!. If the server isn't password protected at any point, and isn't on a gm map, find it by filtering all maps with edu, the education prefix. Map name indicates what level of teaching we are doing at the time, currently easy.

[b]UPDATE![/b]The map's still doing fine, and i'm working on changing the scoreboard for a more unique look to the server :D. [spoiler]And adding a possible awards menu?/other interesting stuff.[/spoiler]

server not responding. good game.

You should also educate in the Art of Mingery, as the best way to fight them, is to become like them. Unless you're an administrator, then the story changes completely. If you need it, I can do some writeups on some common mingery tactics, counters to them and the same for some of the more advanced techniques too. Timezone doesn't allow me to help in person, though.

What you're saying is we should fight them, piss them off etc. That's exactly what we're [b]PREVENTING[/b], because i'm fed up of minges being treated like retards, we are here to teach them to play the game, and enjoy doing it, killing and banning them isn't the way to go about it.

Not really - if you have a method of harmlessly crashing a server once all chaos breaks lose (ie, spawn is being camped or someone has a machine of mass destruction wondering around) then that is often enough to stop a mingebag from rejoining the server to do it all again. I also have ways around PropSecure, so you can delete the contraptions of mass destruction before they even get a chance to be built. I'm referring to minges in the asshole sense - players who have come from another abrasive game and wish to only irritate the shit out of the other players. There's been a massive abundance of them recently, and like I said, the only way to combat them is to act like they do to them. They quickly realize how much it sucks, and eventually change. The server I'm regular to has little to no minges most of the time simply because the common ones know they'll get their asses kicked if they try. Besides the fact, if some minge screws up your contraption, there is a few ways I know to restore it fairly quickly aswell, since I had to learn most of my techniques the hard way - by myself.

I can help out if you want I like teaching newbs how to play.

Wow, you guys sure are nerdy.

There's going to be some changes to server up times, from beta testing we've seen we just can't stick to the times we've set, so i'm going to shorten the times server is up, or at least officially up.

Hi, dragon, I would love to teach ANYTHING on your server EXCEPT wire mod. I am really good at Basic construction, Base building, Plane building, And posing, I sent you a PM.

Server down due to "Technical Difficulties", seems there's a possible problem with the sandbox gamemode's cl_init.lua, or at least that's what it spams 200 million times. [spoiler]Error said something like, getscriptedvehicle returned NILL[/spoiler]

Hmm, next time it's up, I'll be there, thanks Dragon! :)

Great, thanks. I really need this, I've been playing for a few months but I can't do much.

I'll teach Life Support.

I can teach all the tools.

I have sent Jamie a teacher application, and I can teach Constraints, all stools, adv. Duplicator, life support, linking wiremod with life support, and basic wiremod. I can also make edu maps for the server. I already have one called edu_f1_v1. I am also willing to start another dedicated server for overflow. It an probably hold about 5-7 people depending on ping, map size, and contraption size.
