Server Essentials (with links)

[Holy]

Just thought up a few things that a basic dark rp server needs. I would post in the other thread but the spammers with useless suggestions drown out major needs of any RP server. This should save time in looking for the links. I have 900+ hours in gmod, most of which is being an admin on DarkRP servers. Just in case you have your doubts about what I list below.


Tools:
-Wiremod (http://www.wiremod.com/forum/installation-malfunctions-support/4-wiremod-svn-guide.html)

Props:
-PHX3 (http://tutorials.matt-russell.com/garrysmod/installphx3.html)

Maps:
-rp_downtown (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=51759) [more lag than construct, less lag than evo_city]

Admin Mods:
-ASS_mod (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=78521)
-AND/OR-
-ULX (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=75022)
-OR-
-Whatever is on the ttt server, although the other 2 are more suited for RP.

Other:
-DarkRP Class Maker 1.4 (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=92354)
-Drug Dealer/DrugMod 2.2/Drug Shipments (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=100527) [Adding Drug Dealer + Drug Shipments requires a program which can open and edit lua files]

***For Wiremod and PHX3 there are SVN links to the official SVN Checkouts for both of them. This means that you can keep PHX and Wiremod up to date with a simple right and left click instead of browsing all over for it. I suggest what it says on the Wiremod website and use Tortoise SVN. [Most computers use the 32-bit download.]

we need this RP downtown its teh best http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=88503 has more houses more room and overall is just better.

http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=96141 this RP downtown works too..just saying dont use the one in the list it suuuucks :c

[Holy]

more houses + more rooms = more lag also.

Every darkrp server I have been on never has the whole server rping, which is why I suggested the simple and less laggy version of downtown which is used on most servers. You also have to think of it this way. Everyone has gm_construct, a majority has rp_downtownv2, not many people have the other versions of downtown. I've never seen a server capable of allowing rp_downtown to download from the server itself which means people will have to come on gmod to get it. It's a safe assumption that people get on a game to play it, they will join another server instead of going on gmod.org to download a map they dont have. That is why i suggested using gm_construct in the other thread to only start out with so we can build a darkrp community, then switch over to downtown.

HOLY TEH LAG IS ONLY U -.-' other people dont lag cuz we haz good stuff. and construct and flatgrass are horrible.  :c

I agree with holy. But ulx is better than what is on for ttt. Turst me I have used ulx, ass.mod, evolve and the one we use. Ulx is best.

Actually when there are too many props and too many players on a big map like downtown it causes the whole server to lag and/or crash. Uncertain assumptions are bad.

Yeah a prop limit is necessary, preferably not too low. Darkrp without the ability to make contraptions is a horrible server.

I've been playing on steam for almost 11 years, before gmod. I know what I am talking about when it comes to servers stability. -_-

i want admins to be able to spawn like 1 or 2 ragdolls cuz i haz some E2s that use ragdolls so:\ oh and propcore we need dat (if we dont already) cuz im still new to Wire stuff and idk if this is all already there and stufffff....but i want to be able to have my gminer :c + Adv dupe

[Holy]

Adv dupe comes with wiremod svn. The server already has it so you don't need to worry. If ULX or ASS_mod is used then there is a function that says 'admin_has_no_limits.' When you set that to 1, you can spawn how ever many of anything that you want. Of course it should be used in moderation so the server doesn't crash.

If you need e2 help, my non-auto gunshop (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=108075) has 2 e2 chips out in the open which can help you with console screens, using strings to change text screens, using rangers, and playing music on an e2 chip.

Everything in my profile using e2 and is pretty simple to understand once you examine it. I'd suggest looking at whack-a-bottle's (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=99230) e2 chip. It's invisible on the inside.
