[QUOTE=MrClean;15826317]The Maw how did you learn how to make game modes? I have allways wanted to make one but I have never found any good tutorials.[/QUOTE]
Just learn lua.
[QUOTE=Sykore;15798478]themaw,
I have watched your videos on youtube; "Old Age - Introduction", "Old Age - Gameplay #1".
I just can't get over the GUI. I love the GUI so much, in-fact I have started coding it myself.
The game mode looks so well done, when a test server is up I shall be one of the first to be on.
I envy what you have done with your Derma Coding. Truely.[/QUOTE]
I appreciate it. I personally think its simple stuff. I used to do alot better like one of my other HIDDIN gamemodes. (the Black and White gamemode made for practice). Derma is truely a really good way to do panels and buttons.
[QUOTE=Mod;15825129]I have two suggestions...
[b]-About[/b] the music if its still there... Remove it or make it hardly audible. The reasons for this is.. Music, after listing to it for a long time playing a game, gets old. The music may seem like a good idea at first but trust me... Sooner or later they will ask for it removed or turned off. Instead add music at peak moments (just like left for dead) When your stalking someone, attacking something, or there is something dangerous around that you can't see. The music will add to the effect that your going to be slaughtered! Imagine that your a low level, accident prone, and low on hitpoints and you walk along a path and some music starts up (eerie music, suspenseful) What do you think will happen? L4D music FTW
[b]-There[/b] are two gamemodes based around "medieval times" if you can.. merge oldage with midage? One server gets more players than two individual servers. (at least consider this)
Two suggestions took up that much.. :j:[/QUOTE]
Ugh. Thought you watched my first old age video. You can turn of the music. And merging midage with oldage isn't a good idea. It can lead to a horrible conflict between lua scripters.
When its out im surely going to play it alot, lol. But i dont want people that is making games or mods or sumthing related to that, making test servers puplic, in my eyes i want it to be finish when i try it, so i can get the whole experience!
It just looks to cooooeeel! o.o
I keep trying to be patience and its alright atm. Sooner or later im gonna break out! xD

Both mods does not have the same goals anyway, so none of us would achieve what they want :>
This is an outrage! people are starting to make rpg related gamemodes because of this D: Midage and now "Not so New Age" D: wth is going on?
Oi themaw, MidAge is in the works since gmod 9 :} Just had multiple versions and wasn't serious.
And don't take New Age seriously imo. Doesn't looks serious at all.

Hah, "Not So New age" (Darklands) is older then this one, we just didn't bother posting it yet.
[QUOTE=Thorgal;15863494]Hah, "Not So New age" (Darklands) is older then this one, we just didn't bother posting it yet.[/QUOTE]
Yeah,I saw the server running DarklandMMO since a long time ago,before I discovered this D:
But Darklands doesn't have any screenies/vids,so this one's kicking ass...well..both are,but old age has proof D:

That's why any ideas must be sealed into an envelope, and hidden.
IS IT SECRET? IS IT SAFE?

It's not like it's an original or unique idea though is it.
Ohwell seems like new enemies are coming to compete with me. Lets go faster >8)
I got my models from Hoizon and i am now working little faster (mainly because am bored enough to do it... and because its summer)
Uploading new pictures. I'm just improving the scoreboard a little bit.
Ok,

Not sure if you guys will like that. Or I should just go darken the ambient light.
Well it's pretty cool imo, but you should try to have more random placed trees, the ones in the background looks like they are on a line with the rocks.
[QUOTE=Anthracite;15972786]Well it's pretty cool imo, but you should try to have more random placed trees, the ones in the background looks like they are on a line with the rocks.[/QUOTE]
I reduced the number of trees to improve the FPS. Slow computer users are complaining you know.
Do what the MidAge developers are doing. Render the trees as sprites; but when you're close enough they will be rendered as models.
Also, check your PM inbox.

Fixed it anyways. Am using a Z-Clipping plane on it. Also works on the npcs and any other entities. Besides I don't go and use someone elses tactics. I am in love in improvising and finding new ways. And I am almost gunna be sad because so many RPG gamemode developpers popped up. Better not show them my future plans.
More people are going to play this than MidAge.

Simple RP gamemodes have been exhausted to the point that you'd have to go to great extents to make it so people won't groan at anything that contains "RP" in it's name.
And yes, I think that's a good idea, trying to find your own ways. Their sprite idea doesn't work badly, but it's a bad idea to settle with one possibility, it's always good to try new things, right?
[QUOTE=braxus;15973215]More people are going to play this than MidAge.[/QUOTE]
This is OldAge topic, not a debate between two gamemodes, stay on topic please.
I'm working on my own gamemode, and i was wondering, how do you make it thirdperson?
I've tried console commands, but that requires cheats to be left on, which i can't do for obvious reaosn. Help would be much appreciated.

@TheMaw
Bad news, my fully lists of ideas that i completed for a while, was deleted by crashing my computer =/
Try to reconstruct my list, but will take some time :>

True.
Now working on the Player trades. Player grouping is already made. Tho, it's a little bit rusty so I'll fix it up today.
[QUOTE=GreyIOutcast;15973680]Their sprite idea doesn't work badly[/QUOTE]
Not to nitpick, but it's actually an industry-standard way of dealing with that problem. Just about every modern game with big landscapes, from Oblivion to Crysis uses sprites for faraway objects. :v:
Hey Maw just a suggestion....
I'm sure you have played Oblivion with fast teleport. Well my idea works around that concept. What happens is if you have say like five servers their will be a map that comes up and you can press an icon to go to the server which has the map you want to be on.

Sigh... Then whats the point in traveling???
I dont know if this has already been asked but, Are there going to be PVP arenas?
Were 2 or more can fight each other to a battle to the death, While other people can watch and bet on those who they think will win.
That would be awsome :)
[QUOTE=themaw;15401163]
-team up against other players
-PvP Battlefields
[/QUOTE]
It is said in the list of what the game mode contains.
[QUOTE=DaKakis;15977887]If you don't know that you wont come long. i can't script neither so :@. can't wait for gamemode though.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't matter now anyway. I'm having a window that let's you choose whether you want it thirdperson or first, and i'm just gonna block the console, or block the console commands (like impulse 101, npc_create, god etc. not all the ones that dictate the ammount of friction and what you taste like).
I don't really think your comments very fair. That's the only thing that i've had to ask anyone about. Besides, i've only been learning LUA for a day or two.
