Battlefield TDM - Upcoming Garry's Mod game mode [In Development] - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=Zeddicus;44862003] DarkRP is a great game mode to edit off of.[/QUOTE] No. Don't ever say this. DarkRP is a gamemode that involves roleplaying. It's drastically different from a gamemode that is supposed to be a death-match. Please, take the time to code your own gamemode. You'll be happier down the road when you know what everything does, and it'll be understandable when something breaks.

Ever since, everything was a bit more understandable .

DarkRP edits will help kickstart me to future development to come, so I will consider this for the future.

I actually thought this gamemode was being coded from scratch...

There's many things wrong with what you're doing: 1. You're relying on the quality of other people's code. 2. Learning off of other people's code is often a bad idea if you don't have a basic sense of code in the first place. It's like writing - if you want to learn someone's language, it's a bad idea to just start spouting out what other people are saying in rearranged linguistic schizophrenia - it's better to understand what the words mean, when to use them, in what syntactical order, and why. 3. Deviating from the language metaphor, other people have different ways of logically approaching situations that you're probably not going to understand without a good sense of code. You hear programmers bickering all the damn time about each other's code being "hilariously stupid" because their basis for logic are completely at odds with each other. Often times, when modifying other people's code, you'll find that you'll be breaking everything, overwriting important functions, etc. You'll wonder why, get frustrated, and more than likely quit, and all because you're basically screwing up someone else's "plan", or code. There's a set amount of steps that have to happen and if you don't know what's going on, you will fail. And as I'm sitting in my chair staring at my monitor while you view this in who knows where, I can verify just by intuition that you do not comprehend GLua, let alone DarkRP enough to edit it into Battlefield TDM. 4. I don't feel you will be "learning" as much as you will be copy+pasting. I say this because I have done this in the past, and you're saying you're going to use DarkRP as a framework when you don't understand Lua. I didn't make any advances at all until I made the attempt to understand the code logically instead of as something I can plop into a text-editor, or as a "framework" to "build off of". 5. There is no reason to use DarkRP within a Deathmatch context. DarkRP has far too many features that you wouldn't need within a Deathmatch gamemode which is inefficient, and the features that do apply are meant for RP, not Deathmatch. You would have to do a lot of recoding and cleaning up that I don't believe you are able to do. I'm being harsh on you because I'm really trying to send a strong message. Learn to code for yourself. Start small and realistically. Don't meld other people's stuff together to call it your own. In the realm of programming - everything is incompatible and sucks and you should hate everybody and trust yourself only. No, I'm kidding about that last part, but you really shouldn't use other people's stuff if you have no concept of how it works in the slightest.

Zed, just to let you know, people don't give a shit about how fun a gamemode is. They want to see how much effort and dedication the creator puts into it. You've been given a lot of hate because the 'gamemode' you've created took barely any work at all. Honestly, I think that DarkRP has its pros and cons(but there's a LOT of cons) but it shouldn't be used for a TDM gamemode. I know its hard to make a gamemode from scratch, but you just gotta suck it up or don't make a gamemode at all. Also, don't forget to give credit to the developers if you are using ANY of their content(always put it in the OP).

[QUOTE=deadremains45;44890784]Zed, just to let you know, people don't give a shit about how fun a gamemode is. [/QUOTE] Just what..... Reading that statement blew up my brain. Like that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the average gmod player is thinking. You can put hours upon hours on a game-mode but that doesn't guarantee that people will like it. People only care if they are having fun. Sure some might appreciate you for your hard work, but if the game-mode isn't fun no one will play.
