[QUOTE=Sestze;52422800]or have fewer errors.[/QUOTE] Isn't your job as the server owner to correct those model/script errors?
[QUOTE=Lil_Roach;52427226]Isn't your job as the server owner to correct those model/script errors?[/QUOTE] If they're unhandled errors, certainly. It is, however, the user's responsibility to download the content that the server has provided if they want an error free experience. I won't force people to download content - "pushing" content to players seems like a violation of sorts.
[QUOTE=DragonMan933;52373126]Anyone else feeling it? I remember playing old hl2dm build servers like phoneburnia and the yaypit and having the time of our lifes building and acting retarded and all we had were these poorly created maps and very limited commands to do anything, but we did everything . Now playing gmod all i see are players spawning dupes, spawning NPCs for a bit, and never really building anything but rather installing addons instead. "Want to build a car? Fuck that ill just download an addon". "Lets try to make it up to that high place! Why? just noclip noob". missing the entire fun of the experience. everything back in the days were fun because of challenge and using your imagination and creativity to have a great experience, but now i feel like everything can just be done on a whim and be done with it. everything has to be well polished and easy to use for anyone to even bother. of course im not speaking for everyone or saying everyone who plays gmod does these things, but from playing on most sandbox servers this is what i see. Thoughts?[/QUOTE] I agree with you, i miss the old times where i used to have and build everything with just the default game content, but now the community has became more lazy for it.
Sanbox is mainly just a clowning around session when you join now a days.

Once you get past the "old things", you find yourself leaning on more and more useful quality of life improvements. Weight tool to increase weld stability, Parenting to supplant welds and allow for more detail, expression to streamline movement systems or supplant props entirely. I'm not entirely eager to go ten years back in time to when i started and start from the ground up. I can't just lobotomize that, and I can't love it like I did back then :(
What ever happened to the good non-sandbox build modes like Space Build? That and Naval Play were what I always had the most fun building on.
Since i bought Gmod in 2009/2010 I have never played anything else than Sandbox. 4500hours with both my accounts only on Sandbox, and I still have as much fun as in the beginning. So I personally dont really understand this thread lol.

[QUOTE=DragonMan933;52447181]How do you normally spend your time on sandbox?

Cars, planes, mechs, helicopters, ornithopters and basically everything that I find interesting
