Catalyst Gaming

As I have tried before, I'm willing to try again. I want to set up a Catalyst-Gaming SandBox server. All I need to know is if anyone here will even play on it. I've already told RoflWaffle that if I set up the SandBox server, we do it my way. No flashy sweps or retarded admin guns. No large model packs, no abusive admin mods.
If I were to create this server, here would be the addons. These are all the addons, no more, no less, no complaining.
Wiremod
Advanced Duplicator - Public Folder disabled
Weight Tool
Wenlis Tools
The admin mod will be the standard one used for Catalyst-Gaming servers.
These are the only addons needed to build in GarrysMod.
To add to this, there is only one map we will have the server on.
gm_wireconstruct_rc created by Black Pheonix
This map will fit any need you have, deep water, trains, private building areas, etc.
Of course, your forum ranks will coincide with your ingame ranks. No, I don't know what VIP/Gold member benefits will be, kind of hard to do that without restricting stuff.
Rules for this server should be implied, rules for a sandbox server are not that difficult to understand.
If I do set this up, it will be heavily moderated, the only successful sandbox server, is one without idiots, yes that implies half of you.
Now, please post opinions, begin every post with a "Yes" or a "No" if you want the server or not.
-
Yes.
Simply, I love to work on my *cough awesome cough* expression 2 skills, or build something very awesome such as my table factory which I posted on this forums earlier.
No useless shitty mods that only cause lag, no idiots that cause lag. Sounds like a perfect sandbox server to me, which I sure will play.
-
Yes! Big yes! I love building in Gmod, and to do it in CG, makes it 10x better. Great idea someone, I really can't wait. I will certainly love to play on it, and commonly aswell. I'll tell my mates about this. Nice idea!

well phx is kind of a must man... cant do a whole lot with default items

PHX is a part of GMod now.
-
Yes: But you should look into these.
Conna's Tools, it has pressure plates, and fading doors.
Ladder tool, because making a ladder is needed.
Stacker, unless it is in the above tool pack.
Anti-Noclip tool, cause having people noclip in your shit and ruin it is a pain in everyone's ass.
-
Yes!
I've not played a sandbox in ages. It would also be good to get away from admining OCRP and relax in sandbox for a little while.
Please implement it! :D
-
Wenlis tools has a better tool than easy precision, if you thought that was percise, wait until you learn how to use this.
All other addons:
No.
The server is set up, just waiting for Waffle to get on to get it hooked into the other servers, then for Tomasas to hook it up to the SteamID linking.
-
Yay! Sandbox!
Hopefully this will not lag with even many people on and not suddenly close like every single other one i've played on.
-
Added easy precision do to a bug being brought to my attention.
Anyway, stacker tool is in itself needed. All it does is spawn another prop, is it so much harder to simply spawn another one?
-
What do you need waffle for?
And I agree on stacker being a good tool to add as well as anti-noclip
-
I don't play on sandbox much at all- mostly because I blow at building, but I might give it a try. Yes.
-
ALLOW ME TO SUGGEST THE
GRAVITY HULL DESIGNATOR
DO WANT
DO NEED
-
I'm good friends with the guy that created the gravity hull designation and while it seems to work great, it still has many bugs that need to be ironed out first. That may come along later.
-
Maybe we can make it so you have to donate to have weapons. VIPs get basic weapons(Crowbar, 9mm, 357, and CSS handguns) Gold Members will be able to get all the other weapons(Except admin weapons.)
-EDIT: Yes. I WANT THE SERVER. WE WANT THE SERVER. YES YES YES! I came.
-
Now here's a question:
Should I disable ingame mic chat?
Pros:
Quick communication
Cons:
Loud people for distractions
-
I HATE it when people are using mic on sandbox. I make something that makes music or something in E2 and people are screaming about PHX chess or some gay shit.
-
Yes, but global mute func with admin mod.
-
I figure I'm going to turn it off. People that want it should think that, say the server had 20 people in it building, do you want to listen to the dude that it putting thrusters on the back of a jeep scream his fucking head off? Keep in mind I can't limit range, it's alltalk or nothing.
-
Yes to the sandbox server
Yes to voice communication, but limit the range via a simple script that hooks using Gamemode.PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico) (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice)
I'm sure that either Tomasas, RTLK, or even myself could make this for you if you wanted, it's not that hard to do and then either change it in the sandbox gamemode file, or make an autorun and override the defult :)
-
surely if people are dumb on mic you can mute them instead of turning it into semi rp
-
I want something that has a chat command where you can set whether you die or not.
Maybe even have something the same for whether other people's props go through you (or your props) or not. For those people who want to have a sandbox fight but then there's that lolnoob who goes and flings props at you
-
All I need for a perfect contraption is:
- PHX
- Wiremod
- Stacker (Used rather often to align props with each other, for example spawning a plate EXACTLY 50 units above the other plate. However, this can also be done with Easy Precision, but a lot harder.)
- Easy precision (A MUST HAVE!)
- Weight tool
That's pretty much it.
-
If you can't do limited range for the mic, why not have a mic whitelist? A lot of why sandbox is fun is to do with it's social element, I.E having fun with friends, showing off your contraptions etc.
Another part of that social element, is verbal communication.
Don't punish the many for the few minges retardedness, only make it harder for the minges to disrupt peoples enjoyment.
-
I have to agree with jigger
Also, if a whitelist isnt done, maybe a vote mute function?
Along with a vote kick
-
Launch time of the server is? :)
-
There is no 'launch time' it's already up. I don't do that shit. For now mic chat stays off.
For those that didn't know you can connect to any of our servers by going to the hompage and clicking the name of a server in the status box.
-
If you can't do limited range for the mic
I said it once, and I'll say it again:
YOU CAN (should) BE ABLE TO LIMIT MIC RANGE USING Gamemode.PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico) (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice)
And if not then a whitelist would also be a very nice feature which can once again be created quite simply
But either way, voice chat is a very nice feature to have and I for one hope that it is implemented
-
Voice chat will make it way more relaxing and enjoyable, in my opinion if it doesn't have voice chat it isn't worth playing on...

What's the server IP? Nvm

Voice is enabled.

Voice is enabled.
Will there be a whitelist or mic range?
-
Not needed.. That's what administrators are for.
And when there are no admins on?
-

And when there are no admins on?
A votemute function ;)

I prefer whitelist >.<

We need Episode 1, 2, and portal content. Me and a few people on the sandbox server have a lot of E2s that use that content. I made a Hungry Gnome and a Rabid companion cube. I'm pretty sure you know what content those use. Can you also disable God Mode and enable PvP? Any RDMers should be kicked. Also, raise the Turrets level from 4 to 6 please. Server already has TF2, or els my TF2 Soundtrack E2s wouldn't work. And take time to read my suggestion about weapons and donators from a previous post somewhere in this thread.
Also, add a votemute function. Whitelist sounds gay for mic.
-
As I already said, Ep2/Portal content when I can be assed to do so. It would take a long time for me to upload the content as Portal 2 and Ep2, for reasons unknown to me, are not included in hldsupdatetool. Therefore, I have to go through and extract gcfs to get the content. Not something I'm looking forward to doing.
I'm going to have one of our lua devs work up a function so people can toggle god mode upon themselves.
As for the voice, I just have it on, I'll leave it be and work on a "one person can ruin for the whole group" thing.
-
Ep2 on server box already
-
I don't copy from other servers on the box, it was one of my stipulations when I said I would set this server up. Usually when I copy files from the other servers SOMETHING breaks. It would take far less effort to extract it and upload it. Even though it's probably a good 5 gigs worth of data. Perhaps someone with a faster connection can do it?

I uploaded the gcf files. Check c:/srcds/episode 2. I extracted in there as well.

Get portal content pl0x.
