I’m sick of these Source limitations

I can’t be bothered with the countless amounts of exploits in Source. I remember the time when our server got hacked through RCon. Even though exploits are no longer a problem. I’ve ran into some extreme limitations that I can’t get past without making some custom binary module for. Garry’s Mod is fun and all but it’s starting to get boring. I’m probably take down the server. I will however start to work on my own game. I will use one of the follow engines: Leadwerks, Unity, Cryengine 2( Not possible yet, because I have no previous achievements, game based ). You guys get to choose between Leadwerks and Unity. If you choose either one then I will consider it, however your opinions will heavily affect my decision. Another reason I am doing this is because I haven’t made a penny in two months; I just can’t afford this stuff. Making my own game will allow me to go commercial and sell certain things. Yes, it will be a “generic thirdperson RPG”. Those kind of games seem to be the most fun to code and the most things to get money out of. I do infact need some modelers / texturers. I’m thinking about a name for the game right now and I will post back with some updates later after I buy one of these engines licenses. Anyways, start your voting (Make a comment).

Content Contest

Today at 2:30 pm UTC -08:00 Pacific Time I will start the content contest. The content contest is a contest in which I change the server to Sandbox and each player designs their own armor set with an included melee weapon. The player will spawn a ragdoll such as Dr. Breen or a citizen and dress the ragdoll with their armor ( props ). I know what your thinking, “What do I get in return?” well guess what! You get one random piece from the armor YOU designed! That’s right! Now almost everyone will have different armor! How do I start? Well, all you have to do is join the server at the time up there and start designing your armor set! Once done, take pictures of it in several poses and submit them in the Content Contest Thread( See bottom of post ), You may name your armor, but you may not give your armor special stats. Those will be chosen based on quests that I will choose to fit them. (New quests). The person who makes the best looking armor will get the full set of the armor. 2nd place gets half of the armor and 3rd place gets the chest, weapon and pauldrons. You MUST post the model path of the model parts when submitting your armor ( etc models/player/breen.mdl )

Server

Well, the server Isn’t going down… all because of some persuasion from a friend. I started coding a new gamemode called Eclipse.. Which got some progress.. all until it came to an inventory system; I was stumped. So I went searching around and I found a gamemode that was exactly what I was going to make with Eclipse.. It was discontinued. I went and downloaded it, checked it out and loved it. I put it on the server and ran into some errors, which turned out to be compatibility issues with Evolvemod… Apparently there were a few hook.Call’s interfering with the PlayerLoadout hook. Anyways, thats the reason chat-commands like !ban don’t work anymore. You just have to use the menu (+ev_menu) or type the console command: ev ban . Anyways, Iv’e got some progress yesterday on the gamemode. I found out how the previous benefactors created the item icons (Source SDK + Black background + Print Screen). So Lixquid decided to give me 13 quest ideas, which were all implemented into the gamemode plus his own NPC. I wan to encourage any of you to suggest quests, you can do so at this thread: http://www.colzdragon.net/forums/index.php?/topic/76-quest-request/ . I have also took a picture and cropped every single weapon/armor piece into a database which I will soon implement into the site, but you can view the raw images here: http://www.colzdragon.net/media/image/underdone/items/ . I have also added a few new NPCs, one of them being the hunter NPC from Half-Life 2

Later, I will add some new NPCs like Strider’s to give a new challenge to the high levels like Lixquid. I’ll add ai-nodes or make a script so that they fire their strider-cannon. I’m trying to lower the rewards for quests to make the game more challenging and add more quests to make it more fun. But I think a good alternative is to just add way more items like new melee weapons and new NPCs and higher level NPCs. Anyways, suggest your weapons/armor at: http://www.colzdragon.net/forums/index.php?/topic/77-armormeleeranged-request-thread/

Hey! Sorry for the extremely long delayed news post, I can’t believe I’m letting my site die. Anyways. I have recently been focusing on my own client-side scripts and will stop, and focus on the server. I have decided to start with a complete remake of the HUD:

New HUD

The next thing I will do is completely remake the menu system (F1 Menu, Derma Skin, etc). Then finally I will focus on creating an Anti-Hacker module that will keep us safe.

Also, this week I have made some additions to the server which include:

  1. 30 New songs added to radio
  2. Added Mr. Saturn entity/job
  3. Remade HUD
  4. Fixed being able to see your fishing poles HUD through walls
  5. Fixed the Fishing Pole Icthyosaur crash server exploit
  6. Added Sickness Vehicles ( about 30 new vehicles )
  7. Changed default map to rp_evocity2_v2p
  8. Added Model Settings Panel
  9. Added logging to attempted commands:

Hey look, it’s proving useful

Game server canceled because of my ignorance

So earlier this month I “Added funds” to my account forgetting to actually pay the invoice. Eventually time ran out and ALL THE FILES on the server were deleted, my account was suspended and my databases lost. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!! And guess what else? Some other server is going to replace my server and all my players will go there instead except the ones that go on this site! I’m going to buy another server with a different IP and have it running soon with everything like it was except a different IP and a week/3 weeks/1 month roll back of data. Yeah I know. This sucks.

New server up: 74.63.243.207:27015

Hey! Today I decided to check www.garrysmod.com and I just so happened to see “Easy Bans” a website server ban integration system! We now have a fully functioning ban list on the navigation bar! Just click Bans.

New Site Host + New Site

Hey guys! I have transferred hosts. We now have unlimited space, bandwidth, Databases and more. The site will also be around 80% faster and have no down time. To add to that I have replaced the sites skin with a new clean one. Oh and one more thing, you won’t be able to register yet (If you can register than disregard this) due to the fact I have no spam blocking plugins yet. Enjoy.

You can now register!
