Title: New Server?
Post by: Cogley on May 23, 2013, 04:23:36 PM
Well I was searching on the GMOD server list and i found a server with Army RP. There's only one and it's constantly full, If Catalyst-Gaming introduced an Military type roleplay it would grow this community so much. With the dev team that we have we can make a kickass Military RP, such a suggestion. Please comment back with your thoughts. It's also loads of fun, check it out if you have the time

I like this idea, maybe have to factions fighting it out all the time too?  We could probably imply WAC into it aswell.

a WAC server would be bomb, however, another RP server could be nice, but then again, we have quite a bit of RP servers...

Well I think we should get rid of one HRP server since noone reallys plays it anymore and not even one of them are ever full and maybe the Hl2RP since noone plays that and make one badass Military RP, it will boost this community so much

Removing the servers will be the call of the Owners as will adding a military RP server. I like the idea, however this thread would nee to take off and have loads of support before its thought about being added.

I support this for sure, a new RP server could bring more traffic and members into C-G. Hl2rp is barely ever populated..perhaps replace it?

Post by: Sithis on May 24, 2013, 10:53:30 AM
I support this. Military roleplay is becoming very popular and there are only a few military rp servers out there. Replacing a dead server such as HL2RP or TTT wouldn't be a risk of losing anything since those servers are dead.

Exactly, just replace a server that is dead. It will benefit this community and make it bigger and better if we do make an Military RP

Ew.

No offense, but military is really not all that. I speak from experience. I've played it before and it is extremely bland and gets old really fast imo. If I wanted to sit around getting yelled at by a half baked drill sergeant I would go join the military. Which is why I heavily dislike rp based on real life events. Fictional rp is waaaay better. It leaves more room for creativity and imagination. Hence HL2rp, Metro2033rp, Falloutrp, Epidemicrp, so on and so forth.

I play rp to order to be someone else I am not in real life in a world that is not my own in order to experience what it could be like in the shoes of someone who is not me and has to deal with things that are otherwise difficult to comprehend under normal circumstances.

I do not support this. Not the addition of a new RP server, but of this type of genre.

Maybe we could have the military rp like... 3 factions, kind of like wasteland rp but different in the sorts of that it is not waste land.  Make it so the three factions can either team up and wipe out one another, peace conferences and such can be rp'd aswell.  Maybe have it to where the three are idk, USSSR, USA, Middle east or something, idk.  This also could include tanks and such and cool warfare rp style aswell.

That's a good idea. If any of you have played Mercenaries, it could be similar to that.

Pretty much in agreement with Sexy Frog on this one. Although our serious RP server HL2RP is pretty much dead at this point I don't think Military RP is the most suitable replacement. It's very boring and from my experience with Dark Fraction's, and I can almost guarantee a majority of the CG playerbase and Gmod RP community won't enjoy it which is saying a lot since they really did put a great deal of effort in making it fun. But that's my opinion on the idea, because all you really do when it comes down to it is either train or shoot and without the constant need for admins to make up events it gets even more boring.

Unless you have Gold or VIP and can be taliban or enemy and make it fun, you musta've not played Dark Fractions 3rd Army Roleplay, it was really fun and constantly full.

What if, instead of an rp server, this was made into a war sever?  3 factions fighting non stop.

Not DM.  War, meaning more things.  Screw css.  War, as in helicopters, tanks and more.  Not a game with crappy hit markers and op guns like CSS.  3 factions, each with different tools and vehicles, make it kind of like an rp too so it is not just all killing.

The thing wrong with it is that half of it will be "/me shoots the terrorist in his face with big gun" and "/me bang bang AK-47 kill UN peacekeeper" and it'll get stale fast. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get some passive but that'll probably be "/me scary man drill sergeant criticise your bed making skills and creases in uniform."
 
If CG does get a new RP server, it really has to be something that doesn't limit your RP options otherwise everybody'll get bored and stop playing - something like Fallout RP for instance

Why does no-one like the war server?  With rp mixed in you could have lots of fun, maybe make it kind of like Arma where instead of 3 factions, there is 3 but only 2 that fight non-stop.  You could have a civi faction that is neutral but still can be held hostage and killed, like real world scenarios.

Please no. Like waffle said, if we`re going to have more servers, make them unique. Damn near everything has been said and done before in other communities and starting yet another army rp or yet another deathrun will mean 0/50 or whatever within a week. I've seen this one too many times. The only servers that haven't gone kaput in a week are HRP, OCRP, and HL2RP. HL2RP also had a large playerbase dedicated to it at the time. That was a long time ago.

Why dont we brainstorm new server ideas like i dunno. I was thinking about how people like police chases in OCRP, however I'm sure some of them dont want to get banned for baiting police so maybe a Cops n Robbers kind of gamemode? Or how about some sort of air combat gamemode based in special maps. It would have to either use helicopters/vtolcraft or really small airplane models (like 1:16 scale)

Ideas. Lets make something new and fresh. We have the developer power. We have mappers, modelers, scripters, and audio peoples. We have the servers. We just need ideas.

It doesnt usually work like that unless both servers are run by the same community. Nobody wants to start new if they already have something going.

Good joke. Dark Fraction is a total shit hole. And I speak from experience, I've played all of Dark Fractions servers, even their Black Mesa RP when they first tried it. Horrible. Military RP is stale and unoriginal. Sorry.
Title: Re: New Server?
Post by: alaskan thunderfuck on May 27, 2013, 09:25:18 AM
Not completely opposed to the idea of another serious roleplay server, but if it does happen it'll be something original to us and that's pretty much the end of it. We will not do anything that has already been done.
Title: Re: New Server?
Post by: Cogley on May 27, 2013, 12:46:11 PM
It's like any one roleplay, theres hundreds of Dark RP, HL2RP and the others. And you guys probably played Dark Fraction on 1.0 which was the worst, they're releasing 4.0 and its 100 times better, but with Crap-Head and the dev team that Catalyst gaming has they can make a really good Military RP

Title: Re: New Server?
Post by: TheTemplar on May 28, 2013, 04:02:46 AM
I don't mind RP but a original project that C-G makes would benefit the server a lot more than doing a military RP server. Granted I don't have to go on it if it were ever created but as I'm a active duty Marine I sure as hell won't have some kid trying to act like he knows what's going on or yelling at me trying to act like a drill instructor.. I went through 3 months of that and I sure hell ain't going to let anyone think they know how to be a DI.

Make a new RP server. Enhance the OCRP gameplay with a new bigger map with more buildings, more npcs, more concrete jobs, cars, and ways to enjoy the game. Make more concrete ways of making passive RP (crafting food, drinks, alcohol) and make the jobs more interactive with each other. Maybe even tie in some HRP? Make a part of the map water? Allow people to use boats and have a couple islands.

I know that in OCRP one of my turn offs is that to interact with the mayor/ police office/ and court room, people have to wait on a half working elevator rather than maybe a actual building dedicated to that function. Would be nice to have a police station with a small waiting room, reception desk, evidence locker, offices, and a prison system not having to wait for a elevator and then running all the way to the bottom floor.

Well this is getting long... Sorry

It's too close to HL2RP.  From what I've seen in HL2RP, totalitarian government RP divides the community.  On one side you have the government forces with unlimited resources and on the other you have a bunch of ragged citizens who have nothing better to do but walk around and "sit on benches".  I think we need to get away from oppression RP.  Some ideas I've been brainstorming are things like maybe a Space Colony RP, or maybe a Skyrim RP.  There are tons of untapped universes, we just need to decide on one.

I JUST HAD AN AWESOME IDEA!   If you have watched  war of the servers you will understand.  Why not have an rp with mingbags and such and trying to avoid and protect yourselves?

We have had a discussion about what new roleplaying gamemode should we put up or develop, and we even got to decide.
However, there's a problem with a very low amount of willing and competent developers who could partake in that project. Given most of our serious roleplayers are gone ever since HL2RP begun dying, there's quite a big chance the gamemode wouldn't even be played - this risk quite discourages you from spending weeks of your free time coding.

I had another interesting idea... idk about you but I know this has not been done before.  If you like espionage and interesting things like that, then you will most likely like this.  So, the idea is based around Team Fortress 2, red v blue, yet they will not always being fighting, yes I  understand that they are highered to do so, yet if you read the comics for the game, they are not.  We could base this on a some kind of custom badlands map that would be separate and or combined to make it feel as if it where a "War"  yet it is not.  I personally think it should be 3 different bases, one in the middle witch would be a nuetrel and or hostile zone, maybe Grey mann's fort for the robots, or just have 2 forts, red and blue, they can meet and not fight, there should only be one reason they fight and it should be for resources or an rp event.   
As for the spy and the classes, they will all have reguler player models as you presume just not tf2, there should be a class list and it should be the 9 classes, Pyro, Demoman, Scout, Sniper, Heavy, Medic, Spy, Engineer and Soldier.  They should be loosely based around the game, don't crunch it into to much.

I also had another idea for a roleplay that was very popular and was full almost 2/4'7, this RP was known as BSRP, a whole another community, yet they shut down quite a while ago after gmod 13 came out.  This RP was based around the concept of post apocalyptic circumstances.  And I am sorry to put this out there, no it was not like HL2RP, it was a DarkRP server with lots of rules, it is pretty much like OCRP in way yet it did not use CS:S weapons and had classes in f4 menus.  They had a custom map, witch they allowed the public to use after they shut down, and the guns they use where called FireArms:Source, this is one major reason they kept alive for so long.  They only shut down because the owners just did not want to do it anymore, I talked to them. 

Map for the darkrp, remember to use the FireArm:Source weapons.

How about SpaceRP? A bit like spacebuild, but instead of building you have to buy your spaceships, and you can work your way up, you could land on planets and do jobs like an intergalactic paperboy, you could work your way up, become a taxi or something, be an assasin in a TIE Fighter, maybe even get a TARDIS!, you could get a space shuttle for things, or buy a small space station to live in, there could be a space council that can control and outlaw specific things to do, and it could be made serious or semi serious RP, but many rules would need to be in effect to stop people buying a cheap spaceship and just ramming. The spaceships could be upgradable with maybe stronger engines, more fuel, better armor, parachutes, or many other things!

If we're gonna do space station RP, leave the mainstream spacey crap out. No star wars. No star trek. No Dr Who. Unique and original. Would this be super serious with not a lot of script like HL2RP? Or would this be more like a RPG like OCRP is with lots of script?

I like it.... but what would the story be behind it? Your on a space station and what? Colonization or your just on it? And what type of 'jobs' would there be? The idea is nice, and honestly a spacebuild RP type would be cool, however lets think on it in more depth yes?

how about humans paid to explore the frontiers of space while looking for resources on asteroids and different planets







or












deus ex rp, RP a low life criminal and join a gang in the under ground or the police

Deus Ex RP = Cyberpunk RP.  Sounds like it might work, but it could easily turn into corporate mercenaries (metrocops) oppressing the citizens (If you get what I'm saying).

As for Doctor's suggestion, I have been suggesting a space colony RP for quite a while now.  Nobody really seems to care about it, but I have several ideas as to how it will work.  If you've ever played Space Station 13, the jobs would be similar; you'd have the security/colonial marines protecting the colony from the planet as well as from itself, the scientists who wish to study the planet, and then of course the plebeians who would be there to start a new life.

I have to agree with Statua though:  Please no TARDIS'.  Just no.

Okay no TARDIS, I didn't actually want to add it, just seeing how you would all react. Jobs could be a space policeman or something, who tries to stop smuggling and things, of course they get an issued vehicle, but it wouldn't be all that fast, another job could be a deliverer, you get called from someone, they pay you about 200 in the currency, and you deliver their item somewhere, you could also be a taxi, but you would need your own vehicle, same with the deliverer, you could be a repair shop person, who upgrades your spaceship or repairs it, a lot of jobs could be put in!
The map would be a modified spacebuild map, which would fit the RP well, but we would also need to implement the enviroments system from Spacebuild because we don't want people noclipping through space..
We could use SBEP models to make ships and things, and we would need to add custom skins and items, and it would be inbetween Semi-Serious and SeriousRP, because Semi-Serious can still have FailRPers, but SeriousRP is just too serious for space.

Just my honest opinion, but I believe that the discussion is about a new SERIOUS RP server.  I believe we had a space build once, but it flopped for the same reason that our HL2RP just died recently.  The thing with Serious RP is that it caters more to the upper crust of RPers, those who prefer character development over material wealth.  Adding more script will only alienate them for the same reason that creating a constant state of action would.  True roleplaying is slow-paced and we need an idea that reflects the mentioned qualities.

However, in my honest opinion, I don't think a CG Serious RP server is ever going to happen again.  Ever since HL2RP died, the vast majority of our serious roleplay community jumped ship.  It is possible to entice them back, but it's hard to say if the community could keep it alive.

I'd come back if CG managed to put up something interesting, and ideally original. Too be quite honest, the quality of seriousRP in other communities I've come upon has been mediocre, and the administration's of the communities are either really unorganized, inexperienced, or just general assholes when it comes to dealing with the rest of the community. While CG has its problems and the like, I can say I've had better experiences with roleplay and conduct here than elsewhere. Don't know if others feel that way, but I do. I'd be willing to come back and invest sometime if, again, an original seriousRP enviornment was put up. But SpaceRP, eh. I'd honestly see that taking on a less original approach, I mean come on. In the realm of Science Fiction related things, there's already HL2RP, Starship Troopers, and I guess FalloutRP/Metro2033 if you'd consider those somewhat related. I personally like the idea of a more fanstasy/medival oriented roleplay, like, I don't know...Skyrim RP? *hint hint*

Excuse me? If this thread stays on topic and people actually think productively, the thread will not be locked and a server may in fact come out of this if the idea is good and doable.

As Statua said, this thread won't be locked we have an idea for a new serious RP server that is doable, original, and attractive.

 World War 2 roleplay anyone?
Title: Re: New Server?
Post by: Lewis on June 07, 2013, 11:34:15 AM
World War 2 roleplay anyone?

from past experience that sort of RP consists of either -

a) shooting people in role-played gunfights
b) turning into HL2RP with the Wehrmacht/various branches of the SS being the metrocops and the civilians of the occupied country being the hl2 citizens

or if you want the ultimate boredom fest -

c) rp as somebody in a non occupied country and get bombed constantly while working in a bullet factory for 12 hours a day at minimum wage


i've tried two of the above and needless to say it was quite bad

Why not some kind of shooting RPG gamemode, like the one where you can buy weapons and armor and each come with different stats. Also include some type of upgrade system with a trading/auction house feature to trade with others.

There was some community that had this gamemode perfectly planned out, just with bad execution. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but it was popular about a year ago.

EDIT: Gangs of Glory was what it was called. You can see a video of it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3mf3P9J8pg). It seems they're in development of their updated version, but we could derive something off of this. It's a lot of fun.

make it a greate big map with a lot of players, add vehicles in sorts like WAC helicopters, you could make an orginized raid.  This would be fun.

How about RefugeeRP? You start as a guy in a war torn country, you can buy a boat and smuggle people, with the risk of dieing and losing your boat, try to find a good country, go into an Asylum and RP jail type things, or be the military fighting.

Sounds dumb, to be honest. How are you doing to fit something like that on a map.

In much nicer terms, I have to agree with Lone.  What you ask for requires a map larger than Gmod allows.  Also, if you want to play Refugee RP, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead has several Takistan Life RP servers up.  They're basically like what you described; the Takistan map (which is about 13 x 13 kilometers) split up into three separate sections, with UN-backed north, communist south, and jihadi insurgents at war with each other while the normal citizens try to survive and make a small fortune.
