New Gamemode's / Existing - What do you look for?

Hi all, I thought I would try and see if I could get some feedback from a bunch of you. This threads a little "Cliche" however if you're not too interested feel free to click off.

In essence, to ask the simple question, what do you guys want too see in Gmod? Whether it be a new Roleplay .. Community haha... with actual rules, and actual ... "RP" (Prime example is Santos lets be real maybe even PERP) In honesty if I was to do a RP server it'd be a Whitelisted one, because there's simply too many special kind of people.

Would you like to see something abit more active, such as more Firefight kind of gamemodes? Like RUSH from battlefield, general combat ones.

What have you wanted to see exist in Gmod that doesn't currently.

The easiest way I can say is, what do you guys want to see , and would think "hey that's prettyy good" in Gmod.

Cheers for reading this awful post but it's as best as I can ask the question. Thanks!

Even if you was nobody would play it without a pay to win element since gmod's playerbase is 70%+ kids. They wanna pay money to feel superior and if they can't get that feeling they're not gonna play. Even with a gated community it just wouldn't work since the more mature base would rather just actually play Battlefield.

Actually there's way less than you think, you're just confusing RP gamemodes with DarkRP renames xD

I would like a roleplay were you dont just have to do crime to have fun. you can do more passive and peaceful stuff and dont need to own a gun to have fun

So true, there are around 5 real Roleplay gamemodes out there. Problem is that people don't play them because for a (RP) server to be good you have to select players, ones that are willing to put in the effort. If you make a custom RP gamemode that is enjoyable with the pay-to-win element for the kids (Simply having little clothes they could buy to make them feel special), the server would do well. Only issue with non-whitelisted servers is that minges join, and a lot of the time you accept a moderator/trial admin who is active for a week and then gives up because they are bored of dealing with the same people on repeat.

Long story short:

  1. Whitelisted :: Not enough people want to put the effort in for applying
  2. Non-whitelisetd :: Admins simply don't care enough, and too many twelvies from DarkRP come ruin your shit

EDIT As just mentioned, RP gamemodes are also based a lot around AgressiveRP which is not what everyone wants. Server owners only ever take into account the majority rather than everyone.

What would be nice to see is a custom RP gamemode that includes the main factor of PassiveRP (Such as deliveries, shops, etc), and to have it expensive as f*ck so that AgressiveRP is less encouraged, however still a factor. As well as this, it also allows for more in-depth police, paramedic and fire RP as they actually have time to RP a situation rather than having to rush it because some kid just got hold of a gun, and randomly hostaged someone from down the street with his 11 year old buddies.

I, myself would make something like this, however I sadly do not have $500 to spend right now on a gamemode that will probably not take off very well because there is no way to get the word around about your new custom RP server, no where to say "Hey, I have this new gamemode and would like to invite everyone to come just give it a check for 30 minutes, you might enjoy it" which is also the reason there is less and less custom gamemodes (There expense and loss).

Are there actually any public open source SeriousRP gamemodes?

SantosRP @ LeakForums

I've got files for santos. Not a leak, not 100% where from, however I don't plan on using it but I know it's more up to date than any leak. However it's there as a possibility. I've put alot of private work into them to make it into something good. My only worry is the response i'd get for actually using Santos.

Santos is a private gamemode. And the owner/devs don't support anyone using it (as far as I'm aware). Any copy that you guys have is illegitimate.

But gms staff get triggered at SantosRP talk, so we should probably drop that topic.

Yeah this is my concern. I would rebrand the gamemoe anyway due to legal stuff with Take Two however I don't want to be in the "badbooks" with Gms staff. However if that is the case, I may rebrand it and run it, as I have put alot of work into it to make it something good. I feel with the right team it's a very good asset and doesn't deserve to be left dead. The only santos server i see around is 1/2 public ones full of pay 2 win crap. Mine would be whitelisted etc.

However if the gms staff didn't see this as a respectable thing, chances are i'll pay someone to make a new gamemode from scratch.

Edited Back on topic though, if you were to see a new RP Gamemode, what would it be? Apocolyptic, City / RL based, what type of RP? What would you want it too include etc

Personally, i'd say RP - SeriousRP. However, if you want to make it SeriousRP, one thing that I see a lot from players on these servers is "I would in real life", and shitty excuses like that. So, if you're going to make a server and label it SeriousRP, remove the limit of needing a reason to mug someone, needing a reason to hostage someone as in real life, people generally just do it for money which is not seen as a reason on most RP servers. Rules that should be included are things like not to do it in public are in real life, someone wouldn't hostage a person in public as they don't want everyone to know they're doing all the illegal shit. (If you were to add these systems) add risks to growing weed - Plants wiltering, different strengths of weed worth different amount, make the machines have sounds. With meth, add the risk of machines blowing up, it becoming too dry to work, etc. Have a bank system so, and make it so that players drop their money upon death, just for added risk. Still have the normal rules of RDM, CDM as that is annoying and generally does not happen in real life. Police ranking system, fireman, realistic fine prices Most of all, make it a challenge to earn money with prices that reflect real life - make things expensive

If it's semi-serious then obviously add the normal rules to protect players such as you need a reason to take someone hostage, etc

I run a server based off of what everyone hates about DarkRP. No stupid content like vapes, no donor packages, etc. It never took off as many people who know me from the gmodstore Discord know. It's a shame really.

So, why not discuss it as it's a thread for new gamemodes: School Shooter Simulator What are your opinions on it?

Personally, it's not a bad gamemode, just had the wrong perception due to its title

I mean, School Shooter Simulator is just a reskin of the basic concept of hide and seek. Students are the hiders, shooters are the finders. The SWAT feature is a little aid, but meh. The gamemode itself is ugly throughout its UI and the map is also kinda poop.

It's only popular because it's a meme. Play 4 rounds and you'll be sick of it.

Yeah it is a fun gamemode, just a little repetitive and obviously the name is kinda a meme lol

Edited To bring light to my original thread, I'm going to be going ahead with making a Hardcore (He says) Apocalyptic style server. Over the next few months or so i'll be paying to get the Gamemode made from scratch and a new map. Wont go on about the features now but i'll write a announcement thread soon. This will also use Gpseak for immersion!

Breach was one of the best gamemodes so far. But the servers are 90% RP. Doubt they are gonna invent a cool gamemode that will attract players anymore. Oh and my friend Lars created Players vs BOSS. That gamemode has a lot of potential, worth checking out
