What's the Wierdest Thing ever to happen to you in GMod?

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19241617]The problem is, a picture doesn't say much.
What happens is this:
When you go outside the map boundaries in MP, the server gets some kind of hiccup.
On some maps, this hiccup can result in you coming out a what seems to be the top of the map, giving the illusion that you warped around it.
However, this is very wrong.
If there are other people in the server, you can see the effects they make, like the physgun glow, but not their player models. If they are building something, their props are invisible to you, but not those constrained by rope-based constraints. Vehicles are also visible. Some times.
You cannot interact with anything, you just pass straight through it. The other players cannot see you as you can see them, and if somebody follows you down/up/left/right (there seems to be multiple worlds), you cannot see them at all.
This thing was a side-effect of the Wiremod.com "Void Exploration Project", which was based on making a map without a skybox, so that you get this trippy colour stuff, like if you set the alpha of the colour room on gm_construct to 0.
The team would then build a ship that could traverse the void, and see how far they could get. Not an easy task, since some people tend to crash when looking at the void.
The problem that finally stopped them was that props get invisible in the void.
At that point, though, someone had already found out this dual worlds thing, and it sprouted a new project, I think.[/QUOTE]
That sounds fascinating, and I'd try it right now but I'm a thousand miles away from my computer (I'm in Florida and my computer is in Michigan). Can you provide any links to the threads about this on the wiremod forums?

Man, that's fascinating. Too bad the void spacebuild/RP idea never really turned into anything. It would have been fascinatng to have a spacebuild style game where you could only rely on wire insturments for navigation. Maybe someone on facepunch could ressurect that idea in some form or another.

Why does everyone think that's so cool? It's just a leak in the skybox, causing the compiler to make the space outside the skybox have physics. Nothing special.
I once connected to a server with these weird perverted guys making sex poses and jerking off to them. You could hear them in the mic. It was uncomfortable.

What does that have to do with this thread?

Nothing, I was just wondering.
I got ragdoll'd by a minge and was put into some crazy forsome with kliner, alyx, and barney.
I once spawned a Ravenholm roadsign (the crumpled up one which you see at the start of "We Don't Go To Ravenholm") and looked away to do some other shit and looked back and it just floated off and sped off really fast and disappeared. Somehow I tihnk it might've been a dream but holy fuckign shit omfgwtfbbq. :lsd:
I was playing sandbox and this guy joins in, he says "No hoverboard? this server is gay" and promptly disconnects. I have never smacked my face harder in my entire life.
in my earlier gmod days, I decided i wanted to make a "flying fortress" on the coast lvl in HL (the crane part). I was building it entirely out of Shipping containers, it kinda looked like a cubed roman numeral II. I get it put together (by frantically clicking the mouse with the weld tool) and i unfroze it... well it started going crazy (when a part moves to a spot its not supposed to be). it actually starts flying over to the mountains and then after it flys over the mountain it "fixes" itself and drops behind... one of my first creations... to this day i cant duplicate that response.
[QUOTE=wildferret82;19241030]To this day, I still do not know what happened to my experimental propulsion vehicle.[/QUOTE]
I think it may have been what landed in my backyard the other day.
I spawned a 1x1 PHX plate because I like to put wire stuff on there if I'm making something, and got banned from the server I was on for minging.
I had spawned and moved it into someone's invisible shit, and wrecked it.
When i watched Gman haunting gm_construct on youtube .. now i play flatgrass !
i once built a truck with realistic steering and suspension and a realistic SAM launcher, i spent all day working on it, finally finished it and went for a drive. got out to dupe it, and to my surprise after closing the prop menu i watched as my beloved truck sunk through the map and vanished. :(
i shot kliener and the body disapeared and i the face was really streched, gmod crashed.
but i guess thats an error not a game stuff.
I saw a guy saying "Raaaaaawrrrrrawrrrawrrrrr" and then I asked him "Dude, the hell's wrong with you?" and then he said "Sorry, had an orgasm" and I was like "WTF?!?" and then he said "Oh well, seems like I got cum all over my keyboa-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD" and then he jumped off the roof of a building. What the hell?

Win.
[QUOTE=Chaohord;18975553]I was building a hut, and a charred human ragdoll from a ragdoll pile I was playing around with earlier on the other side of the map appeared next to me.
I was playing single player. :tinfoil:[/QUOTE]
I lol'd hard on this one. :lol:
ah, this happened a few mins ago
i was on a server with a admin, 2 players, a friend and the owner on, i started building a tunnel heading towards my base that i was gonna build, then i saw the owner building a jeep, i went over to the jeep and then the server crashed, we went bk on the server and everything was gone, the owner went into a rage and crashed the server with barrels

The owner minged his own server? :confused:

Hax?
Yes.
[QUOTE=mini peanut5;19038942]on bigcity i was trying to find a building to go in and make a video. Tried this shop place and a large screaming noise blasted out of my speakers (which scared the hell out of me), i jumped up, noclipped upwards then killed myself... never gone on that map since.[/QUOTE]
I've had that before, It's actually a gong noise, I didn't half shit myself though. If you ever try to enter that building the gong plays and blasts you back.
The weirdest thing to happen to me was when I played on a DarkRP server. The admin must of done a reskin or something because everyone was a Kleiner and was in the sewer. I was looking at them through the little grill outside the hotel (it was RP_downtown) and they were just minding their own business, so I continued looking. One of them looks up and sees me looking at them and shouts "Spy! basin_basin is a spy!" so I lock myself in a room in the hotel and I look outside, see a couple of Kleiners running into the hotel. I was fucking scared and lonely and had nothing else to do. So I resorted to a quick way to pass the time.

Oh hi I am fun :downs:
Here's another one.
A guy was building a fort with me and then I said "All right now we're do-" and I got interrupted by a minge running by screaming "WHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" and we both looked at him. Then my friend said "Dude what the-" and again got interrupted by the minge coming by. Then he said "Oh lolz hai u d00d" and I of course said "Get the hell off my fort noob!" and then he was all like "OMG NOOOOOOOOO U SAI BAD WERD OMG NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and ran around flinging a randomly spawned box and killed himself with dynamite.

The stupidity of people never ceases to amuse me :xd:
Here's one I got yesterday.
I was just hanging out and using my new weapons on Kleiners. Eventually I get bored and decide to make one of their deaths look like a crime scene. Not long later, I had posed Metrocops, modded Buggy, and a Rebel to look like an incredible crimescene.
But not long later, thanking god I had already saved the masterpiece, I was shooting a couple of Combine soldiers near the lake, and all the ragdolls I had posed for the crime had fallen over as though some minge had unfrozen everything, but it was Singleplayer.
I freaked out that it had wrecked, and prayed I had saved it. I had, so I loaded the saved file and just continued taking screenshots. =3
I welded a airboat to a jeep and I failed on driving on water [B]MISERABLY.[/B]
[QUOTE=shozamar;19060196]Ok, this isn't gmod but I was playing HL1 and as I was going down the wierd lift thing that headcrabs fall on to constantly and Silent Night started playing. I checked my computor and the only things it was running were Steam and HL1. It scared the crap out of me (and it was definetly coming from my computor as it stopped when I turned of the sound and started again once it was on). It was in the middle of autumn aswell so it wasn't exactly festive.[/QUOTE]
It's because HL1 used to require a disk to play, but now it's on Steam it runs purely off your HDD, so it grabs a random sound file and plays it :P

Ahhh. It was the most confusing thing. Thanks for clearing that up, Silent Night must be saved on my computor somewhere. That means that this kind of thing must have happened to other people, does anyone else find that a random sound file from your computor is played during HL1?
