War & Build back?

[Sona]

So me and Donkie were thinking how great the War & Build server was... so maybe we should get it back? Donkie could start coding for it and at the same time maybe release his scripts on garrysmod.org and facepunch but still keep xuras.net the main source of getting information about it which would get more traffic going on here. We might design fully new map for the server and gamemode to get the war part going on more. And if others are interested they can chip in by telling ideas, coding, help design the map, maybe make some parts of the map?

Idea behind all of this is to get more traffic going on here, so I'm thinking of some system to make people come here and benefit from it if they stay here. I would like to see the whole community participating on this one, could be a lot of fun too. Of course there will be the server renting problem and all but we can figure out that later.

So what are your thoughts?

I've never played on a War & Build server. What is it about?

It's about War and Build, you have 2 modes, 1st build, 2nd war. In build mode you are granted god mode and noclip, when you go in war mode you can join in 4 teams, noclip and godmode turned off of course. Basically the goal is to get most kills/points/score, and to help with that you make war machines in build mode and then add weapons to it, which you then save and put on the test in war mode. It could be a helicopter, jet, tank, jeep, boat etc. To help this community grow, we can have tournaments easily with prizes and such. If we implement money system, people can start buying the weapons and unlocks with the money they earn by killing others.

Would be cool, W&B was quite a fun

yes bring it back but work on the interface better and all that crap

[ILikeCupcakes]

Sounds good. Kind of like a gazillion other gamemodes out there, but if you can get it to work well, why not?

Maybe I had some idea's to get the war more on:
• If you are like level 20 you get teleport acces, other levels maybe other acces.
• Make the spawn closer to eachother so you dont need to travel so much so it is more like TDM.
• Making that no admins abuse their level.
• Maybe gamemodes? If that is possible Like CTF, TDM Demolition... (!vote CTF) etc
• Maybe make a score limit, like 5000 and if your team reached that they get liek a 200 exp bonus?
• Maybe like in a gangster build town thingie so you can do Cops vs Gangsters?
• More idea's come later I hope

I like the ideas.

Also we don't have to have just 1 map, we can have multiple ones for different gamemodes, fretta style or something. Everything based around building and war of course

[Yanick8]

And maybe you can do like levels, but the weapons are no levels but more like money like CSS style?

[Donkie]

well
Polishing is like, the first goal. Everything should be like 10 times easier and smoother. Like for example, if you hover over a team in f4 menu, your camera will change its position to where their base are. for example.

So you guys know any good server providers? I know for a fact, UKGames, Art of War, Counter-Strike providers are bad. 66-100 tick servers would be cool. Also, if you have any previous experiences from clan providers (usually cheaper and such) please do tell a name. ta

You should also add health to props, that will make people's contraptions destroyable. I guess must-have for war gamemode.

Edit: Or just fix DCW, it had some issues with duping etc...
