Need to use the proper Format

Such is life 😃

You have made many Suggestion/Posts about this before and it's been ore mining has been tweaked already sooo why keep asking?

I have rethought about my option on this, instead of being a “paid package” this could be a cool role that you would apply for on the forum that could be named something like “builder+” and that instead of unblocking more props just give a higher prop count. You could only allow a certain % or number of players to have this role. Upon approval you could make it very clear that the extra amount of props that this role would grant would be for “fun” building purposes only and that bases are still limited to 100 props. I know that this may be a pain to actually enforce if someone is using more than 100 props per base but it could be a good way possibly allow something like this. If I think of better options I will update this comment.

There already is a "Builder" rank that bumps you up to 100 Props and is less expensive then Premium.

I always thought this was a weird/false argument, bigger props means less props will be used on the walls sure but then the player will find a way to use them elsewhere such as even more turns in a zigzag base, all good basers will use up every prop available which makes the performance of having large props VS smaller props making a wall no different in most cases. The only way to have a performance increase prop-wise is allowing less props. 

I do think it's 'nicer' to have larger props available for creativity purposes but I also think the mega-bases it encourages are pretty gross and not nice to look at. I also don't think the prop sizes that are allowed currently are that small. 

Still leaving this up for discussion.

100% Bigger Props doesn't mean less Prop would be used.

I have always loved to build on Gmod its my Joy TBH I don't care much to PVP other then build these ridiculous bases that out smart every player. Once some one figures out how to Defeat my contraptions builds (of course with in server rules) I find some other way to Build a base that is damn hard to Break into.

The problem is I get that there are so many different shapes on the map with different holes and crevasses that all the Smaller props Just don't cut it. There are bases with Wide open area's that need to be closed off that will take up to 10/15 props just for the "Front" of the base add on top of that you have to stack them to protect against blow torches you are left with very few options. I've all but given up on building bases Simply because of this. Realistically the only base dupe I have is in a small little shack in the swears that is pretty easy to defend with the right weapons (Molotov Cocktails). 

But I get that Raiders need to be able to raid and If I could find that happy balance where I could build and not run out of props Trying to cover the areas I need to and be able to build the sections of my base that help me defend I'd prob build a lot more.

Ouch My 🧠 This wall of text is to much. Might consider re-writing it to be more reader friendly.

As to your suggestion I agree it would be nice to have some more props to build with but thats a hard sell as a lot of props are blocked to keep server's performance turning into 💩 So I doubt it will happen but Good Luck

The way I see it is that 8/10 times the only time some one is wanted is by virtue of a swep (mug/police scanner etc). It would be way to problematic to allow players to remove wanted from a police scan warrant. That only leaves Mugging and the Rare occasion some one in PD or mayor makes some one wanted. So as cool as this idea is I don't see how it adds much value and only adds more problems.

I Went ahead and un-banned You.

As far as all the Stuff You say the other player did I'm sure you are right there was a lot of issues going on yesterday and I can only go by what Logs show me. With that said I do understand that Logs only show part of the story and there are things that aren't show there That really need to be addressed and thats why we encourage every one to record, A lot of times things are done because you reach a breaking point when some one is trolling you and you just want to play by the rules and be left alone. But breaking rules because some one else Has broken a rule does not absolve you of Breaking a rule. I'm not sure if I looked at the wrong record but You do only have 1 Warn from may of last year and Should have only been given a warn. We consider Warns Up to 1 Year ago so yesterday we would look at any warns from 2/12/2021.

No way it should be free, It should be a Boat load of money or some sort of task the player must complete to become unwanted. I have a script called Hackable server cabinet that allowed you to do several things, One of them is making people wanted/unwanted Perhaps this could be added and tweaked to This and maybe add some other features in it? Ideally a Job would have the tool and could charge people to become unwanted and what ever else Jouaram thinks could be added from that script.

It would have to cost a hefty amount of $ other wise it would just make /wanted pointless. Prob starting at 100k and going up for veriable reasons. Mugging being the lowest Murder being the highest?

Now that you have fixed those issues mentioned by DreadnaughtV2 You have very good app in my eyes and think you could be of some benefit to the server

I will deny Froggy exists til I get my damn Hat.

Interesting.. Uh Belated Welcome Back?

Agreed I hate 24 hour cycles. A Hard reset time is better because if I happen to forget and do it late one night then It forces me to stay up/on til that time and then If I forget again it keeps pushing the time back til I have to either skip a day or keep staying up. Makes my already bad sleeping habits worse.

We had something like this for Halloween a lot of players didn't like it because it made the map Too dark. Most Day/Night cycles are trash to begin with and the map has to be made a lot better then the one we use in order for it to be remotely decent.

Need to use the Format but I kind of agree if they function as part of law / justice system they should be kind of at the mercy of the Mayor

There is Multi Core Rendering however even with this addition (witch rolled out some time ago) Gmod is still runs on a very old/out-dated Game Engine. Add to the fact that Steam Source Engine (The Game Engine Gmod uses) is 17 years old... Think about that the game engine we play on is older then some of the kids who play on the server.

I run a pretty decent right and even with all the settings super low and multi core rendering Gmod still acts like Crap.

As cool as this would be there are a lot of follies adding any moving object to the server (vehicles espically)

I'll give you all a list of negative things likely to be said

1. Lags the Server (will cause more CPU usage as it has to calculate collisions, Walls, People, Props)
2. Map is too small (Verticals really don't have much use for maps the size we currently use not to mention not really that many roads and even if you turn of collision with players it will just cause issues with players in the street) Vehicles are good for huge maps like the old maps that use to be used for PERP servers
3. There are already ways to quickly get around the map (Web Singer, Grappling Hook | Booth !From Unbox and !Shop | Light Saber, and various other sweps/items that increase player speed)
4. Adds more Unnecessary downloads
5. Toasters don't like vehicles (not 100% sure about the suggested Go Karts) But most Vehicle packs req you to use a higher Direct X version and req higher graphics settings in order for them to be seen properly by the players computers.

As much as I would love to have this I highly doubt it would really fit into the current map we have not to mention all the issues players with lower end computers will have if it is added.

that's why I always idle sitting down in the corner of the building in spawn lol, good luck pushing me out like that

That would solve the light saber force push but I don't know about kidnap swep Prob still could be used.

Glaves should already not go threw map walls/floors etc, Player props I'm not to sure about. Can you clarify if you are talking about Map walls or player props?

Well I also sit in spawn while playing other games to listen for ticket. The whole idea of Spawn is it's suppose to be a Non RP zone yet a lot of nonsense goes on there due to the fact that players can use there sweps there. I didn't make the suggestion purely because I want to be able to sit in spawn in peace in quiet I have other methods of achieving the quietness (using !spectate and flying up above the map in spectate mode). But those sweps get abused a lot. In fact the person who did whats shown in the above picture admired to me that he did so so he could have hits placed on those players So he could kill them/get money.

Suggestion: Only allow Keys or Inventory in Spawn

Link To Relevant Addons: N/A

Media/Screenshots/Videos:

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: As you can see here people use various sweps to push/pull players out of spawn. Spawn should be just for that A area players spawn in not play around in use there sweps (I know light sabers and kidnap swep are most used to push/pull players out of spawn). Spawn should be use to access the various NPC's and Casino Related entity's and to chit chat.

that doesn't sound right. LOL how about that fix? and my English is bad I'm "Street" smart not book smart
