I'd like to suggest we put up an Underdone (https://github.com/Odic-Force/underdone) server. It's basically a third person RPG where you kill non-player monsters for loot and experience and you level up and get quests and can play with friends and it's really fun, it was great to waste a couple hours on every day back in Orange Cosmos.
I know Waffle said to me he'd rather put up new servers with original gamemodes, but I don't see many Underdone servers and frankly it can't hurt taking down TTT (which I know is still a server, just never online) and replacing it with this, it's way more fun IMO and I'd happily sit on it all day and try populate it
whatdoyouthink?? (aka pls post your reason for voting it'd be nice, if the community wants it, to show the owners rather than jsut votes)

I like this gamemode played it a long time ago and loved it. Would be great to start playing it again.
-
This gamemode was pretty amazing back in the day and when you think about it there are no living servers atm (probably outdated)

I would love to see Underdone be put up. TTT will never get populated since there are thousands of servers with it already. I'd be more than happy to get on Underdone for an hour or two each day.
-
I've tested the script and so far pretty much everything works, everything saves and the game mode its self is fine, only issue I found was that the "learn how to cook" quest wasn't working for some reason~
-
Underdone is a lot of fun to play. We should definitely get one and remove TTT or something that isn't very populated.
-
I agree that it would be best to remove TTT for this.
-
We don't need to remove servers to put another one up so please stop suggesting we do so. We do not have a limit on how many servers we can have up.

I know that, but I was more suggesting that there's no reason no to put it up, cause people would complain "oh we have enough empty servers" but it doesn't matter, but other people dont seem to know that

Well if that is the case then whatever :P

Then let's add it to the collection! :D
-
Underdone is fun for about 3 hours until you get on that certain level where all you can do is grind, grind and grind.
Quests are all the same, because there simply isn't anything else to do. It is either: kill X, or obtain Y. And that over and over and over again until you reach that level where you can kill the strongest boss, and then the only reason why you should continue to play is to brag about how high your level is compared to other guys.
Kinda boring IMO.

I don't think you've seen the latest version, you can try it in singleplayer, there's a lot more stuff to do and leveling is slower and more spread out.
Either way with the underdone development kit, adding new items and armor is REALLY easy and quests are almost as easy, but we don't even need to do that, it HAS changed since we all played it at OC
-
I would love this, Plus seeing how we have two very good mappers(plus I'm going to start up again) I say it'd be easy to keep this going.

I don't know why people complain about servers only being populated for a short time. Doesn't really matter if it gives our members something fun to do and can bring in entirely new members. Pretty sure me and Rofl would like an underdone server, not too sure about Tomasas or any of the lua devs. I can't say it'll be too soon if we do throw one up, maybe if you guys really want it done now we'll look into it a bit sooner but no promises.

At least for me (i don't know if this goes for Tom as well), it's due to the work put into setting the servers up, link it with all of our forum databases, ranks and shit, only to see it die out 2 weeks later. That's kinda annoying :/
And from what i can understand from some of Smt's first posts, this is not 100% done. Still an issue with a quest? Probably other issues that will follow up when nothing is 100% working.

I understand that completely but I'm almost 100% sure it'll last much longer than two weeks. I know most lua devs are busy with other things at the moment, that's why I said it probably won't be any time soon but I'm sure eventually someone will have time to look at the gamemode and figure out what's wrong and throw it up. I know Khub said he would have done TTT when he was done with the #1 priorities for hl2rp at the moment so maybe he'd do this over TTT if everyone really wanted it. You never know, really. I don't see the point it literally just saying no because we're not sure how activity would be, I mean if it was really unplayable and would take days just to fix then alright that's understandable but it appears to be just a few bugs if any.
-
A single quest not working doesn't mean anything, it isn't like a quest line, it's one level 1 quest that wont activate, but all the other quests work. I guess VIP/Gold/Admin setting up is a pain but seeing as this is a stem off from the one OC used i'd be surprised if it wasn't a 30 minute job
-
I'm not too savy with LUA, but I can take a look at some of the bugs and such. It's only been like, two years since I've touched it, but if the issues aren't to huge I might be able to fix them. I'll try getting it setup on my computer when I've got some freetime (most likely this weekend), and see if I can find/fix the problem. Connecting the server to the forums and what not, that's a little bit much for me though ;D
-
Okay, the quest works fine, I'm just dumb.
Making items and quests, however much I hate it, is just straight up copy pasting and coming up with the ideas (story, rewards), I'd be happy to spend time coming up with new quests and items for us, everything else works 100% fine.
-
I'd really like to see this come up, even if connection to the forums and creating GOLD/VIP ranks takes a little while to complete. I mean, it isn't crucial for gameplay to have that kind of stuff implemented on the server right away. It's obviously useful for the community and what not, but getting the gamemode up and running to a stable state first would be neat, and see how it all works out before having to go through all the rough stuff related to the forums.
-
I've spoken to Waffle and idk how much he wants me to say but we will 99.9% be having one, but we're probably going to work on it before it's released to make it separate from the public one (as it IS now public) and just to improve it for the community, so yeah, this will probably be going ahead~

If making quests and items work the same way as they did before, it is fairly easy to make them. I remember making a complete tier set of armor and weapons and make a chain quest to get it back in OC.
But you said making quests/armor is only easier now? Which means it would be a piece of cake.

I dunno how much easier as I never did it before, but the quests are literally a short block of lua and it's pretty much the same with items, new content for underdone is literally copy pasting (ugh but it is) and changing some values around
-
This is great news! I will get thinking of some quests.
-
I used to play a lot of underdone about a year ago and I really liked it :)
I would like to see how this turns out, and hopefully we'll ge the server.
-
I've never played it before though from what I've heard, it sounds pretty good.
-
I say we should have this, I remember I was a level 352 on another server, they made it more tough to level up, so it is a good gamemode.
-
It will be a while before we put a server up, but as of now I think it's a strong possibility.
