    well this is so people cant make frickin prop nados. Alot of Darkrp servers have this thing where you hold a prop with your physgun its ghosted. you cant proppush... thats kinda good right? also instead of players bouncing back when they hit another boat how about walking through them. It would prevent prop nados from effecting other people(this would also affect props till the round starts).

    * * * Upgrades for outclassed weapons via level progression (or store purchases) * * *
    For some weapons that are generally outclassed, upgrades should be made available to beef them up. Each weapon would be set to 'Level 0' by default, but by purchasing special equipment or (alternatively) accumulating enough prop damage points the level can be raised up to a maximum of 3. Players would also have the option to disable their upgrades at will if needed.

    This approach would help to ensure that every weapon has its place in the game. Upgraded starter weapons such as the 'Magic Crowbar', 'Fire Magnum', and the '5TK1-SMG' would exhibit a unique edge.

    What kind of weapons do you have in mind? I'm thinking that the current weapon roster has enough high-grade explosives.... How about a fire bomb of sorts?

    Exploding ketchup / tabasco?! Good idea! Because there's nothing as satisfying as slaying your enemies with weapon-grade condiments. :D

    I agree that the model isn't that great, looks very poorly done. But a molotov would work nice with our weapons. You would have to get your throw down right, otherwise you miss and loose a molly.

    I can provide a ported model from the workshop. It also includes World + View Model.

    I was thinking that the shop should have Male 09 in the shops as well.

    The weapon upgrades are too over powered. I think the regular base is great.

    You mean all of them in general or just the "Tier 3" bonuses? I should have proposed hypothetical percentage increases in the first place, but for stat boosts they'd be offered in very small scales. Like, let's say 5% for instance.

    5% is too much. 1.5% seems acceptable.

    Okey-doke. Thanks for the feedback! Please let me know about any other suggestions/recommendations you might have in mind.

    Also, for the final upgrade for the TMP, I lowered the odds of electrifying props by 1.5%.

    Stronger Weapons such as the m249 or RPG should be at least 0.5%.

    Well for weapons like the M249 and Bazooka they're already potent enough to not warrant upgrades. My concern is balancing out the weapons that are generally outclassed.

    Just wondering. I want to balance out the weapons so one weapon cannot be as overpowered as the other.

    Yeah, it's a difficult task to get just right. We'll need more opinions from others on what calibrations would be ideal.

    I have an idea, How about a few new weapons as the SVU we have on the server is from M9K right? Maybe we should add a few more weapons like the minigun (it does .50 damage every shot) (also it would be vip only) and has 1000 ammo. I also think some dancing animations should be added just for fun. I think that the minigun would be overpowered so thats why it would be very highly priced like 80000 for it. Also i think a few new abilities should be added like a 5 sec invunrability,shield,prop shield, invisiblity, super speed,no gravity jumping and so on. I understand that these might be abused so dont yell "OH THESE WILL BE FUCKING ABUSED" just tell me how and what changes you want to make so its fair. Also don't be a grammer nazi otherwise you will make yourself look unwise.

    Ideas for new weapons are always welcome, but I feel that a minigun would not likely fit into our current roster of weapons unless it is sufficiently balanced. Defining a suitable RPM and bullet spread is also important. When fired up close, the weapon would likely outperform every weapon in terms of damage output per minute (but not necessarily cumulative damage).

    While VIPs already have access to the Famas & Healing Stick, adding a third exclusive weapon would probably be pushing it. We want to veer as far away from creating a pay-to-win scenario as possible, for the welfare of our servers and players.


    "Act" commands for dancing are already integrated into the servers.


    An existing thread on player abilities has also been made. For your convenience, I will provide you a link to it: http://devinity.org/index.php?threads/my-idea-of-perks.507/

    Can we add a Vote Skip Song for VIPs and Mods?

    ^ On top of that, a thread should be made that lists all of the songs that are in the playlist at a given time. It should probably be stickied for more immediate access.

    I'll probably make the thread if nobody gets to it first. The only problem would be that someone would have to first provide me a separate document with the songs. If that happens I'll be able to fix it up nice and purty.
