Welcome to DarkRP!
In this guide, I will teach you how to start off in DarkRP! From making money, how things work and more all in one post. Without further a do, let's get started!
Anything highlighted GREEN is considered important to know

1. What is DarkRP?
DarkRP is- well what the rest of the GarnetGaming community would call it, a place where anything and everything can happen. It is a place where you can make friends, meme around and all in all have fun!
If you are reading this, the literal first thing you should do is open the link below. It is our server rules so please look through it.
2. What should I do?
My recommendation would be to first meet the people in the server. Make yourself known, include yourself in things and over all just be a nice person. Trust me, it'll go a long way.
You should try and experiment with jobs such as delivery man.
The delivery man job is the best job to start out with all because of how easy it is to get a quick buck with.
3. How do I make money?
The best way is Money Printers.
Money printers is the essential way to make money and the best way to make it.
to use it, follow the directions below
F4 - Entities - Money Printer
You can purchase a total of 2 money printers and they are upgradeable.
The two upgrades are the speed of the money made and how much money is made from the printer.
Those upgrades cost in-game cash, so have some to spare before buying the printers.
BUT
Not everything is sunshine and rainbows with money printers.
All printers have this thing called a COOLER
Cooler's are what keep the printer up
Every 20 minutes, the cooler goes off and you get a warning in chat.
It will cost you $750 every 20 minutes to reset the cooler.
The max upgrade is 7 for each category. But, if you purchase VIP via our donation store, it can be upgraded to 10!
4. How do I make a base?
Well, one thing I would recommend is to purchase VIP.
Reason being is because you can unlock a tool call Advanced Dupe
That is a tool used to copy, save and paste builds made.
You can make dupes either in the server, or you can hop in a sandbox to make a dupe also.
Below is our basing rules which will guide you on how to make a server friendly base dupe:
KOS lines only apply to interiors.
You may only kill someone inside your base if you have a KOS sign placed on the exterior of the building.
Do not build in the streets (Unless your job allows for it).
This includes partially blocking streets, checkpoints, megabases, etc.
Obscure KOS or Building signs are prohibited.
Signs that blend in with building or materials are prohibited; Furthermore, KOS or Building text screens must be a minimum size of 40.
You may only build on the inside of your base.
You may only base in a building with purchasable doors. (the waterfall and cave base are the only exeptions)
Your base must be raidable by all classes with raiding capabilities.
Example: CP, Thieves, etc.
If you wish to construct your base without getting raided, you must place down a text screen reading "Building" onto the exterior.
If you have a building sign placed on the building you're basing in and are actively building, you're immune to muggings and raids against yourself.
You may not have a building sign and a kos sign simultaneously.
If a building sign is placed on the exterior of a building all roleplay is paused inside of the building.
While your building sign is placed, you shouldn't have any valuables/entities inside your base.
Example: Placing printers inside the base with a building sign. (Or any other item purchasable through the F4 Menu).
You may not have more than 4 fading doors operated by keypads per base
Players should only have to crack each keypad once upon entry and once upon exit.
Example: Bases that loop around requiring your to crack one fading door multiple times.
You may block off excess entrances to your base.
Example: Blocking windows, backdoors, garage doors, etc.
You may not megabase
You may not have a base designed to trap people.
You must be active within a base which you own the doors for.
You may not own multiple buildings unless your job allows for it.
You may not build on sit roofs
i.e. Roofs that staff actively use for reports
You may not spawn or edit the brightness of lights over 512 and a magnitude of 2.
You must own all of the exterior doors to a building in order to build upon it.
You cannot force someone to crouch during a raid for ANY reason
Example: Crouching to shoot back, crouching to crack keypads, etc.
All keypads must have a hold length of at least 6 seconds.
Every fading door must have a keypad or button.
You may not materialize fences.
Do not set up an unfair advantage in a firefight within your base
Example: Where you can see and shoot someone, but they cannot see or shoot back or any other unfair advantage.
No invisible props, buttons or keypads.
Blackout/Colorout bases are not allowed.
Maze bases are not allowed.
All entities are considered props - this includes cameras, text-screens, etc.
Keypads must be visible and directly beside the prop which they operate.
Do not materialize or hide keypads/buttons.
You may not no-collide props to act as hidden doors.
No faulty keypads (keypads disconnected from a fading door).
No crouch bases (forcing another user to crouch in order to enter your base).
You cannot force someone to crouch during a raid for ANY reason
Crouching to shoot back, crouching to crack keypads, etc.
5. What kind of roles are there in DarkRP?
You can be anything you want! Civil Protection, Medic, Citizen or even a criminal!
It's is all up on what you want to be on the server.
