Title: SRP back?
Post by: Gonztah on 04-12-2013
Sooo...
Quote11:26 - ReichCaptain: Yes
11:26 - Gonztah: and how fast would it be up
11:26 - ReichCaptain: practically instant
11:26 - ReichCaptain: same script as before
11:26 - ReichCaptain: same content

How many would be interested playing on the server if SRP was to be brought back? All we basically need are players interested in playing on the server, everything else is practically ready. (According to Silver anyway)

So if we get enough players interested it'll be put back up, just post here if you're interested or have something to say about it.

Honestly, it would be better to work on something for a good while and release it in a good shape instead of releasing something bad quickly.
And please, no same script as before.

The only thing I didn't like in the script was the hunger and thirst shit. Take those away and it's decent I suppose. (Apart from the ammo not saving.)

I like SRP and all that loved it when I first joined but the recent script wasn't finished or what ever and so I left so if it's like it used to be and working and all that I'll rejoin but if it's just going to be the same then there's no point me redownloading all the content and playing again :(

I think SRP has dragged on and done well in the past. But after each retry it seems to end up the same way. What would be different this time for it not to go down that road?

I suppose every server dies at some point. But there are some things that seem to be quite important to get SRP going well again. We'd need interested admins who care about the server, we need them from different timezones. (US and Europe that is) And we'd need some fresh players, I'd say there's quite a few people interested in Stalker RP but who don't want to get on TnB out there. To keep them on the server we need the admin team to be active, not an easy thing to do I admit. But if we can kick it off well it should last.

Also someone to "lead" the SRP stuff, make all the decisions about the canon and so on, preferably either a single person or a small team(2-4 people). Too many members and it'll be a mess, decisions would take ages etc.

SRP will need much more love given to it if we're supposed to get all the people who don't want to play on TnB coming to HGN.
And no Goose on the admin team. Never again.

It took SRP 5 years before it was truely let go, with only 1 or two hiccups along the way, including Garry's shit updates. That's an amazing length of time, especially for a gmod server (See average life expectancy of a gmod server)

TnB only exists because it's a way for Dave and friends to make money.

Dont want to derail the thread but I seriously think that every single vision-based debuff should be removed/have the effect removed from the script. That's basically what was the most annoying part in the script.

what is missing from this post from it being the /thread'er, is that the demand for things listed cannot be met, therefore making srp/any kind of roleplay server irrational.

for any kind of roleplay server we lack the following:

interested admins who care about the server
fresh players
someone to "lead" the SRP stuff and leaders in general

along with a script that everybody does not hate because it's so god damn uncomfortable compared to clockwork.
just look at this realistically -- nobody will play on hgn's srp EVER and theres nothing we can do to change this. HGN is outdated, boring and unpopular. yes you might ask random people if they will play or not, but what they really mean is that they a) don't want offend you or b) just willing to try once and never give a shit again. sorry guys, but let's accept the fact that HGN is over. our core playerbase(mostly those from 2008, 2009, early 2010) has grown up and abandoned gmod forever and the rest(2010-2012) is circlejerking in tnb. you might ask if we can get the hgn-tnbers back. the answer is no we can't because they're entirely different now and tnb is doing far too well for its playerbase to just start deserting to hgn(why the fuck would they do that is another issue).

I'm all for SRP for the sake of nostalgia, but once that wears off; we'll be back to where we left SRP. We all loved SRP for the moments we had on it and the fun we had with some pretty cool dudes 'n shit. But it's probably best we let the metaphorical sleeping dog lie.

I do, however think that HGN's SRP could be good if it was treated properly, for example have a competent SV for once.

There are new players in gmod tho. You'll never know if someone new decides to join if you dont have the server up.

Well, it would seem that for SRP to last a little longer than a few weeks it would need work on the script. Unless stuff from the Metro RP that is being currently worked on can be integrated into SRP easily, I doubt anyone's going to divert major attention from that to improve the current script, at least not before Metro RP is done.

For the sake of everyone, it's best to let SRP rest in its coffin. people want it up, they play for a little bit, problems arise as per usual, and then everyone stops playing. It's like wanting to play that old game you used to play, and then by the time you walk over to the CD collection, and walk back, you don't feel like playing it anymore. That's SRP's revival in a nutshell.

Title: Re: SRP back?
Post by: Tom on 07-12-2013
I don't want to see HGN host SRP again because its been done so many times here and it ends all the same, and TnB is also already super successful at it. The only way someone could compete with TnB in SRPs is if a new community or a new name appeared with same/same amount of cool flashy content/scripts that TnB has. Anouther community did it, made a SRP with all of TnBs content and it had a lot of players on it for a while. Probably because it was something fresh, it was a new community. Unfortunately that community died cause the community leader appointed an incompetent autist as server regulator. Otherwise it would've been nice.

I guess I'd play for a little bit for nostalgia's sake.

Post by: Cutch on 07-12-2013
I'm honestly impressed that any of you can so quickly forget every time we brought SRP back, each time the same thing happened: A bunch of old players(and most of those were not the type of players you want in a healthy community) come back, they screw around on the server for maybe a couple weeks-two months max, then they go back to wherever hell they came from. SRP was innovative in its time, it had its day, now its time to move on to bigger and better things. Gmod RP itself has gone downhill over the past 3 years, any sort of new scripting or model/map-making is a waste of time.

Also servers require money, and whoever wants to donate to an old crusty SRP server when there is a far healthier, fresh one is absolutely stupid. Its nothing against HGN, its just a simple consumer mindset: why not buy the better product if its the same cost?

What doesn't surprise me at all is how everyone says "Oh yeah we need better admins." We had excellent admins once-upon-a-time. Then they realized that SRP had outlived its potential and it was time to put the dog down. Now the only people left that would actually play and/or administrate are those too foolish to see the truth.

SRP is dead. Let the dead be dead, put your effort towards something new.

Well Stalker hype has pretty much gone seen as the aren't any news one being made etc so players who played stalker upon release of the games and thought wouldn't it be fun to RP this have dissappeared with basically zero chance of getting news players so it'd just be all the old players really.

TnB has most of the SRP playerbase. . I don't really see a reason why they/any new people would come to HGN; unless they're the exiles/banned from the TnB servers. There needs to be a reason for people to come to the server and even bother playing it in the first place. I still stick to my previous statement though.

We didn't get any new players due to CoP's release, so you're missing the point entirely. I would also like to remind you that TnB launched its SRP when stalker was already old and almost forgotten and that new HL2RP servers are made weekly with new players, so I really don't think there was a point to avoid in first place.

You still owe me that fucking donation, Frosty.
Title: Re: SRP back?
Post by: Silver Knight on 09-12-2013
If we do go ahead with a SRP reform, donations won't be a major factor anymore, infact, most donation schemes will be done away with entirely as the costs for hosting are now 1/10 of what they were and i am in a very healthy position financially to upkeep the server.

We will need around £30 pounds a month to keep our servers\website\misc running. Any excess would go to motivation towards development. But time for myself is very limited these days. I wanted to get Metro RP up but there's no time\motivation on my side, and no one has really "chipped" in to help either with that project. I only get weekends to do stuff and even then, i am very busy with other things that i would normally do throughout the week.

So in short, donation packages most likely won't exist, it will just be rubles you can buy, some donation weapons and some nice donation skins. Mutants will be awarded upon roleplay skills. I don't want to piss off former donators so they could get some free, one time starter gear or something.

Maybe we could use Survarium and have STALKER lore incorporated as part of that basis, so abit into the future. To attract new (Survarium fans) and old players (STALKER\Metro) Fans.

So a cross-breed of STALKER, Survarium and Metro, this could be done since:

Stalker = chernobyl\ukraine (2011)
Metro = Russia (2033 onwards)
Survarium = World (2026 onwards)

STALKER = The chernobyl zone, the expansion of the zone, Survarium are other zones popping up around the world and metro is focused on it's own kind of nuclear desolation, it fundamentally could all be linked together and work which would mean a merger of assets, timelines\lore and bring up something fresh\new. But of course, this is just a concept\idea of retaining what everyone liked about stalker, keeping it stalkerish and involving fresh idea's into the mix.
Title: Re: SRP back?
Post by: INA7HAN on 09-12-2013
Well in about 10 minutes i came up with this shit idea.

The zone begins to expand at an increasing rate, Russia wishes to send in teams of scientists to try and solve the problem desperately to save the world. America seeing the zone as the expanding threat decides to nuke it. Nukes are launched at the zone but it's protected by a large bubble like anomalie causing the Nukes (More than one?) to explode spreading radiation and ash and all that other jazz around, Russia retaliates with Nuclear weapons causing the world to be fucked up. With one to stop the zone spreading it spreads across the world and gas anomalies sprout out everywhere causing the surface to be unbreathable without specalised equipment/gasmask. Mutants evolve to survive in the harsh enviroments or they go underground where people fled to survive the underbreathable atmosphere and radiation.

To include survairum simply new plant life begins to grow everywhere breathing in the gases and exhaling some oxygen meaning you're simply not filtering gases with your gasmask and that there is in fact oxygen above just the gases would kill you without it being filtered.

I'd rather not have them mixed, would take a bit of work to make it not conflict with itself, and it'd still most likely be confusing as hell (More so to the possible new players)

If we do go ahead with a SRP reform, donations won't be a major factor anymore, infact, most donation schemes will be done away with entirely as the costs for hosting are now 1/10 of what they were and i am in a very healthy position financially to upkeep the server.

We will need around £30 pounds a month to keep our servers\website\misc running. Any excess would go to motivation towards development. But time for myself is very limited these days. I wanted to get Metro RP up but there's no time\motivation on my side, and no one has really "chipped" in to help either with that project. I only get weekends to do stuff and even then, i am very busy with other things that i would normally do throughout the week.


And seeing as this is the case I don't see a reason why not to give it a try at least. Metro isn't going anywhere/moving very slowly and it seems SRP is the only Gmod RP server HGN could put up at the moment without requiring too much effort, just some fixes to the script (Basically the stuff Jake said). I don't see what the people who're saying "No." are losing if it is indeed put up, not like you HAVE to play there or anything.

If it is put up, I'll play there and try to get other people to play on it.

Hi all,

Lots of new faces here, some old ones too. I thought I would come back to the forums as I heard word from a few friends that HGN was being revived. Seeing as I spent an incredible amount of time on SRP from 2009 onwards, spending time with legends like Bagelz, Ganedor, Locke, Doomburger, and many other skilled RP'ers, I would be hard pressed not to make a response to the topic. In my absence I've continued RP'ing in an assortment of different communities, and I'm all too familiar with the concept of reviving on old (but much loved) RP scenario. Stagnation is the biggest issue, people get bored of the scenario, and timeline isn't necessarily considered when it is based upon a game which has it's own timeline. Advancing the RP scenario's timeline would be advancing through the game's timeline, and that would include some massive and impossible changes.

The way HGN did Stalker RP was to create a world, throw everyone into it, and see what happened afterwards. Individual group / player actions were not very influential, which gave the atmosphere a very still feeling of non-progression. There were events and many people and their characters would remember them for a long while, especially if it involved major factions. But there was still a sense of meaningless to their actions. If Stalker RP was to ever return and be successful when it must feel like everything has been tried, I propose the following:

1.) Create a Narrative
"But we're in a Narrative! We're in Stalker!"--Well, yes. However the server had HL2 syndrome in which the RP scenario remained permanently fixed. There needs to be an aspect of story telling, a story of this particular region of the zone that advances, arcs, twists, and most importantly, is influenced by the players which is then detailed on the forums to keep everyone updated of what is actually going on. Simultaneously, it would be a part of the 'greater plot' of Stalker, but simply wouldn't progress through the game's timeline. The server timeline progresses, but the overall scenario doesn't. Characters need to be involved in the story telling to reassure us that we are all influential. Like the zone, heroes and villains of all creeds, loyalties, and backgrounds become well known.

2.) Promote and emphasize passive RP
Passive RP can be boring, and we all know it, however it's your fault if it's boring. If your character is a boring one and doesn't have a personality, mannerisms, history, ambitions, likes & dislikes, and so on, your character is a drone. Passive RP has the potential to be some of the best RP you will ever experience if you put effort into your character and RP. Soon it will become second nature and will be thoroughly enjoyable. Inside the zone is the perfect setting for passive RP. A small while ago I went on an airsoft weekend in the winter to a big site. We spent the night in a -5 degrees freezing cold warehouse, the luxuries we had were warm clothes, alcohol, and food. 5 hours passed as we ate, drank, joked, took the piss, told stories, and it was great. My friend was also trying to fix one of his guns in the dark. I also slept in the back of a van. Images:

Those are the two big ones and I'm sure we can all think of minor improvements to the scenario and to the server itself, however what I listed above is probably the most important to make a revived scenario successful. We don't need to combine scenarios, just build upon the already fruitful Stalker scenario with the servers own story.

You're being very vague about an 'advancing story'. Describe in detail what it would look like. Right now it looks as if you just want someone to document the in-game change on the forum. HGN has always had a dynamic "story" as the balance of power swayed quite often(ie Duty being the superpower, then loners, then Military, etc) -- probably more than a half a hundred times, if not more, during my stay here. Playerbased groups have been founded and disbanded, loners and bandits got PKed, events and missions were made, admins were banned and recruited, new features were added and removed, legends came and went. I absolutely don't understand what the hell do you mean by "advancing timeline" when this is NOT a singleplayer game with static/predictable dynamic variables, but a roleplay server with constantly changing environment(less so when it's inactive, but you get my point). Timeline depends on the players themselves, not the administration, because at the end -- if players don't care, then whatever change you make won't matter.
Name a public server/community in GMod where such policy would prove itself fruitful -- where the proposed changing of timeline and the interest of the playerbase are in a direct causal relationship.

Major factions have always been the core part of HGN Stalker RP. Once more, you're being very general -- how can you artificially make an individual action matter?

Sadly you've managed to make a rather poor generalization of the entire HGN playerbase and went on about a rather moderately relevant aspect of HGN's SRP that has little to do with the reviving process itself. First of all, you're trying to instill guilt for not prioritizing the elements of RP that you personally prefer. HGN has never been the temple of passive RP and it has never been the deciding factor of our success. There has never been a time in HGN where passive RP was different, ever. You're literally trying to change the way people want to play -- the entire reason they've ever come to HGN.
Now what I mean by that is that the average HGNer has always been interested in gear(which is fine by me), the currency of the character's physical strength, and money. Then come other factors like a collective, where the main objective is to earn that currency through various means for the entire collective(major factions use gear as a means to get influence, their primary IC objective, and more gear, minor collectives usually work towards dividing the currency evenly, not seeking influence that much). Gear is the ultimate incentive to roleplay. This is proven by dissatisfaction/anger of a person when they don't receive the reward that would be worth as much as the effort(roleplay) they put into completing a task.
RPG element has always been the core of HGN and nobody can do anything to change that. Not a single guide, tutorial, admin, rule or script feature will ever change that. Is there anything wrong with that? No, there isn't, or I wouldn't have spent so many years here, it's simply the face of this community and you shall learn to accept that, or keep unsuccessfully trying to pursue a roleplaying utopia that HGN will not become for its own good.

On a final note, as HGN has always been hosting RPGs, the characters are almost always developed in-game. Everybody earns their unique character features during the gameplay. It has never been the tradition of our playerbase to create paragraphs long backstories in order to play and frankly I look down on the people who think that it's a necessity and bring it over here. I wouldn't say that the characters are drones/bland/boring(that's the generalization I was speaking of earlier). Yes, compared to the well-thought out characters elsewhere, they may seem bland and indeed, the quality of roleplay may not be of the same standard as elsewhere, but HGN compensates with other features that make it unique.

Gear and wealth is main feature of SRP so when people say why everyone only cares about gear is because gear = power and power allows you to get more money and what's one of the main reasons people are in the zone? To make money, also on the Passive RP thing and blandness I haven't been here as long as everyone else really but I've seen many characters of interest which passive roleplaying with them was fun, mainly 'Hydra' 'Dragon' 'Syfer' (Crosshair) Alek (Duty guy) Ivanov? All were good characters there was also probably one of my favourite traders 'Night' who I bought most of my stuff from. Most people were interesting to know and Roleplay. It's the zone after all people may seem bland because no one just blurts out their life story to every tom dick and harry that says hi to them, you have to earn the trust of that person and brefriend them over time to get such information about someones history.

I was being very general as I've been absent for several years and made points based upon both my own experience in HGN when SRP was up, and based upon friends experiences who were here when I wasn't. It was general because I don't know how HGN was in it's closing time. Although what hasn't changed is the impression of HGN from players outside the community, that being that it is a TNB clone, a community that puts character equipment over RP.

I don't understand how you don't know what an advancing plot is. Your description is of a sandbox server, where as I said, things are left alone to happen. An advancing plot introduces some control on behalf of the admin team, but an actual plot is introduced instead of letting things slowly develop and then stagnate over time.

My generalization on passive RP was also based upon my experiences in the past, that being, I didn't see much passive RP (Although the little passive RP I had was great). My RL example was in relation to passive RP and showed that passive activity can be equally fun as active .. activity?

I don't understand your hostilities to change. If SRP were to ever return as standard as it was before, it would die again. Change is necessary in this instance. You don't see politicians wanting people's votes and promising to change or improve absolutely nothing, it would get them no where.

There has never been any need to change that impression nor is there a need for such action. There's no point in trying to change as to what somebody assumes based on hearsay. I can't comprehend how can this be relevant anymore since this has been a matter of discussion since 2008 and obviously this pseudo problem needs even less attention at times like these. But if you want to prove that this is a problem then I'd wish you to gather at least some sort of evidence(of at least 15-25 random people at various communities that would have this predisposition towards HGN(screenshot of the entire chat, names with steam profiles included).

The admin team has always had very extensive control over the roleplay. HGN is much more authoritarian(which is a positive trait) than TnB and other communities, where roleplay is almost never checked for its consistency or critically judged. There are exceptions where retarded roleplay occurs despite complaints, but that usually comes from a party which doesn't care about RP at all or has more authority(usually both). I don't remember SRP ever being a sandbox and I don't know where did you catch the idea that it is such. Most of the non-small time roleplay is started by admins and usually requires their presence to continue it properly. Almost always when there's a conflict RP between (groups of) characters, there's a major shitstorm if an admin doesn't come to guide/restrict the conflict.
I don't understand what you're suggesting, because there cannot be one plot that every player on the server would like to follow, people make their own sub-plots(which is usually led by a participant that happens to be an admin) to RP in  as not every character is in the position to participate in the biggest on-going conflict in the server.

Seems like you didn't read my post at all.
Your generalizations are based on experience, but you fail to comprehend that this experience is exactly the genuine HGN experience and there's no need in changing it. Your real life example is absolutely random and doesn't relate to discussion at all. Are you then saying that for proper passive RP you're required to sit in a garage at -5c and fix weapons in the dark? How you even try to compare real life and an RPG is laughable.

Ness tea did not get past TO before i removed him from admin, he was lazy and was unfit for admin service.
for a good reason
I remember the day he became an admin he was walking around in an exo and roleplaying like he was the center of the world.

Seems to fit very well with this topic. But I'm not saying that SRP will lead to a definite death. Its more than able to succeed if the proper actions are taken to guarantee its success. However, I believe it was Einstein who said that doing the exact same thing over again and expecting different results was the definition of insanity.

I still don't understand how much clearer I can be when I say that I'm not against SRP relaunching. SK has every right to spend his money as he wishes. All I mean is for people to have reasonable expectations. There is a community that currently has a server with an established playerbase. Albeit their script is broke as fuck, they hold the majority of the players, and players would be hardpressed to start somewhere else unless that somewhere has something better to offer.

This thread pretty much sums up why SRP isn't going to be successful if it relaunches. Five pages in, and the community is already being immature towards each other, posting gifs, soundbytes, and arguments towards each other.

Also, for the people claiming HGN SRP doesn't need to change, clearly it would have to since the server did die after all, so something had to have gone wrong. If I thought the playerbase, or what's left of it, could handle a relaunch I would support it, but in it's current state I can't in good faith give that support.

Also, why the fuck are people attacking KillSlim, someone who's been here a lot longer then most people, for actually trying to help the community? That's about as inept as you can get.

Technically, SRP lived for 5 years without going down and still maintained a decent sized playerbase. So something must have worked during said time. Besides a few flaws, change in the content\script and the major factor of compeititon and TnB becoming the spotlight for srp is what really put this SRP into disarray. We could have the best server in the world, but if no one knows we exist, we won't be popular so we won't be successful, this has been very much the case with all our servers in the last few years (Fallout, Crussaria), especially with SRP since duplicate servers have popped up so we are no longer unique.

Advertising and community (GMOD) pressence is very important to any asset's success (Product, server, person etc)

Passive RP isn't a special kind of RP that I've made up, it's a necessary part of any RP server. It provides the server with longevity, increased character development, and an over arching narrative. If you can't see why it's needed then that sums up one of the communities problems pretty well. People place to much emphasis on action RP, or use simplified RP a vehicle for gaining gear. Both of which aren't the main focus of the server.

And on attacking KillSlim, your posts in reply to him were dripping in passive-aggression. Even if you didn't directly insult him, you did belittle him and try to invalidate his points by pointing out a registration date. I'm annoyed by it because he brought up some pretty important issues the community has and at least tried to find ways to solve them.

I don't know where you're getting that I said it's special. If you actually read my post, you'd see that I only pointed out that it always had a moderate level of importance in HGN, at any moment of its existence.

Passive RP isn't a static server variable that you can just take from -10 to 30. You can't systematically improve passive RP like lowering the crime rate by expanding state security and law enforcement institutions. You cannot claim that apparently longevity, character development and an over arching narrative will be somehow magically much more better if we focus on trying to change something that's completely individual. The quality and amount of passive RP do not depend on the actions of admins, the rules, the script or its features. It's completely an individual matter, which is why we see different people at different servers, for example TnB playerbase tends to prefer passive RP, but outright shits on the canon, while HGNers are more critical of bullshit but not as active in passive.
What you're essentially proposing is a systematic mass-teaching of passive RP through...making more missions. You realize this has been conceptually tried in HGN several times before? I've witnessed such an attempt at FRP and we all know how that turned out. This is never going to work as you're trying to make people do what they don't want to do(how many here actually are willing to give up gear as the main aspect of character development?) and you will end up alienating an already tiny playerbase.

Quoteuse simplified RP a vehicle for gaining gear. Both of which aren't the main focus of the server.
Fortunately you're not the one to decide what's the main focus, because the 5 year tradition of HGN has always been about gear+RP.

Seeing as you're referring directly to my 2 posts directed at KillSlim, assuming you read them, I'd expect you to at least point out the exact part where I was 'belittling' him. Your lack of reading comprehension is rather terrifying to me as I expected something more impressive from you Plunger, because you were the one to attempt to validate his 'points' by claiming he's been here longer than others.

On a related note, I'd love if you addressed the arguments in the replies to KillSlim, seeing as you're defending his arguments indirectly and he never bothered to respond.

That's not nice. You're over-reacting when you think I'm opposed to any kind of change/update based on literally one disagreement. There's nothing else to talk about right now as the only thing that's been brought up by KillSlim(and subsequently Plunger) is that you can upgrade passive RP like a CPU(also implying that there's anything wrong with passive RP in HGN). So because I oppose the certain approach Plunger has for SRP, this automatically nullifies and invalidates everything I've said(that yet has to be addressed) on the basis that this isn't progressive enough for you? The notion that there's literally only one way to fix the condition of HGN's SRP is absolutely ridiculous. You might ask why am I so determined to prove Plunger wrong instead of proposing new ideas? "Plunger: And like I said before, whether you disagree or not, we will be trying it."

Might as well as drop it at this point since obviously Passive RP is a graphics card and HGN's current one is simply old and we'll just replace it xdddddd.

*ahem* Now since I don't care enough to read the additional 3 pages of anger that have popped up since I last replied, I'm going to go ahead and just throw it out there again.

We can sit here and argue what the issue was, our ways of fixing it, and we can all point fingers on whos the blame, and why it won't work and why it will work and such, but we should just take a step back and evaluate things. Putting the server up will feed the urge to play SRP on a server that TnB doesn't own. However, It'll also be down in a short while after that because people will find a fault in it and we don't have a functioning team of active admins and devs to keep things going. Our playerbase will achieve victory status within a short time, and it'll be what it was before it went down last time.

HGN is comprised of cliques that play together and when you try to mix them with passive, it turns into an awkward stare at each other and fuck around in TS hour. Which in turn makes it hard for RP to actually happen, and it makes it difficult for new people to become apart of the community. When we don't get new people, it gets old.

Try to understand that I'm not trying to be pessimistic about this situation here, I'm only taking in account history.

Going the same route and not even going to bother with a lot of the 'wha-wha', so excuse me if I mirror something already said.

When I had first joined HGN and started playing on the SRP server it was a time when the script was barely together. As such, if you didn't take exact measures, or if the server just fucking hated you, you'd lose your equipped items or just your entire inventory.

As the script got better, we received real functions like inventory saving, new models for everything, a betting inventory system, ect.

I noticed a shift in mentality somewhere in the middle of my time here. Where losing your items was no longer laughed off as 'part of the experience'. More emphasis was put on protecting the 'common' players items, and their character. To the point taking something from someone was a monumental task. Hell you had to basically go through a pre-flight check just to make sure you could shoot someone -in the Zone-. These new rules just reinforced the mentality that everyone and everything was special and should be handled with the care you'd give to a rare piece of pottery.

Whatever you change game play wise isn't going to help anything with the mentality of the players that think they should be untouchable, and the administration that would make sure they also felt that way to not 'hurt their feelings'. Player retention at the cost of everything else became the modus operandi and as you can see the servers died. Repeatably.

Until an administration is brought in that can actually work together to help change the mentality of the player base, or at the least keep it in check, without people starting behind-the-scenes(Which never stayed there, be honest) drama that is never put in check itself, the server -will- continue to be brought up and go back down over and over again.

Player retention at the cost of everything else became the modus operandi and as you can see the servers died. Repeatably.


In 2009 when Cakescript barely did anything right other than having different ways to talk and /me everything was better because gear was irrelevant.

There's an inverse relationship between RP quality and script quality and while it is entirely possible to have things work with "fragile" players (DayZ's inexplicable popularity proves that people have no problems getting ganked repeatedly nonstop if they can recover quickly...at least I assume they can recover quickly, having never played DayZ and having no desire to play it I don't know for sure) it requires a more advanced script to let players recover without needing to be babysat by admins 24/7. Current Gmod scripts are at the exact level of competence as to be incredibly off-putting.

For the most part scripts are good at inventories and managing individuals but cannot manage entire servers. As far as I know (granted this knowledge is like a year old so maybe I'm entirely wrong) there are no scripts dynamically generating things for players to do. That means you have to rely on admins to set up everything related to getting the all-mighty gear. Admins who probably don't have the time or energy to do that 24/7 like a computer can. This makes gear especially precious because no only does the player need to endure some sort of grind to acquire it, but the grind is not a known path. If we look at an MMORPG which is also almost entirely reliant on gear progression to keep people playing, people keep playing because they know what they have to do to get the gear. They can have goals, they have some idea of how long it will take them to achieve those goals, and they can tell when they are making progress towards those goals.

Gmod does not have that. Yes there's a currency system but you can only buy from other human traders and those human players can set the prices to be whatever they want (though HGN was usually pretty good at traders not jacking prices up absurdly high from what I remember despite the relative scarcity of them and NPC traders could also remove that bit of uncertainty but that's not at all the biggest problem here) so there's a feeling of uncertainty there. Then of course currency is incredibly hard to come by because it's reliant on admins who have their own lives to live and cannot always guarantee content at a timely matter. So you try to fix that with paychecks, but that doesn't encourage participation in the game or roleplay because you get the paycheck regardless of if you're doing anything or not which makes the gear grind not very fun.

So in Gmod players can have a set goal ("I want this piece of gear") but they don't know how achievable that goal is unless they were content to just grind paychecks (which is boring for everyone involved). Progress is usually in the forward direction but unlike most other games in Gmod you can lose your items. So you might grind shit out for a week, get your shiny deathlaser 2000, then get ganked by a bunch of oldfag bandits and lose it 10 minutes later. If you can't be secure in your property, why the fuck would you waste so much time acquiring it, especially when the only reliable way of advancement is literally to do nothing and collect paychecks?

Gmod is incredibly reliant on players making their own stories because that's the only way the grind is tolerable. That's why Plunger and others (including me) believe that passive is so important. Without passive there is literally no point in playing because I could spend 5 hours sitting on Gmod praying an event or an admin comes on so I can earn my shiny loot, or I can spend 5 hours playing Borderlands 2 and get all manner of shiny loot in the same 5 hours without being reliant on somebody else.

If you make your gamemode reliant on loot, then there needs to be a known way to acquire loot. A script that dynamically generated missions or spawned stuff would help. Players that knew how to passive and weren't entirely driven by loot would also help because they would be forgiving of the lack of things to do if they could make their own fun.

That. Everyone here is saying they want it back so bad, but it's not going to be any different from the last 47 times because there's just no way for admins to keep up with the demand for gear by themselves and the script isn't of any help.

You could have all of my disappointment if you did do the same kind of thing over again.

Script works fine, same bugs back then are still present like the gui for sprint involves just - values as it uses stages.

I have tomorrow off so i can commit some time to bug fixes.

Nah, haven't got the time. I feel like I gave it too many shots already.

I'm not going to say no or yes. But, you can basically see what the playerbase has shrunk to by just looking at the people who replied in this topic: the same people as before. If that is a sufficient playerbase to start up and maintain SRP again then , hell, I'm not going to stop you. But not being too pessimistic about it, SRP didn't start with a playerbase as large as some of the most popular RP server hosters (well I wasn't there on the starting day but I'm quite sure of this).

Oh, and hi HGN.

I made a lot of great suggestions in teamspeak as to what the next roleplay should be. I think it should be Counter Strike Global Offensive roleplay, I mean you could have Terrorists and Counter Terrorists and also Civilians which could act as hostages and there is great PVP potentional. Really I think that you should take that idea on board and tell me what you think because I think that it is a great idea. Oh and if that fails we could do Far cry 3 roleplay because that is really goooooodd!

Counter Strike Global Offensive roleplay
Holy shit that was a bad suggestion.

Anyways, I would probably hop on because I don't have anything better to do.

I'd probably hop on I guess, depending on the state of the script and how many others were on.
