More Female Representation Ingame

[Shin_Tsukimi 2,246]

Proggy is currently looking at some possible models in the teamspeak, once again, it'd be helpful if you gave some information on which models/classes you want to be changed. I'd be happy to help you out, along with some of the other people. Despite what some people are saying on this post, you do have a lot of support on this idea. Once again, I'm in support of this idea, I'd just like to see what exactly you'd like for models. There also isn't a problem with workshop models as I said before, as long as you can provide ones of small volume. Proggy is actually currently looking at some low download models as we speak (although we are about to play among us) We have some ideas, but it would be helpful if you gave us a idea on all the classes you want changed in particular.

Fellas its perfectly fine to disagree with a suggestion, but there's a lot of unnecessary toxicity here.
It's possible to disagree with a suggestion without being a dick.

While I agree this isn't something super important, the response of the community is an entire yikes. I get its a video game community filled with a bunch of children (and in some cases rather childish adults) but as proggy has said there was absolutely no need to be so insanely defensive and offensive about it. That type of attitude pushes people away from the community ("boohoo, their feelings got hurt, go somewhere else" is such a cool comeback)

And for those who are unaware that this is possible without replacing existing class models: DarkRP allows you to set a table of models that players can choose from. The functionality of it is inside of the F4 menu, the 3D render whenever you select a job is also a button that selects a random model from the table (if any).

While it is possible, figuring out what jobs should have alternate models and then going through the entire jobs.lua file to update them will take too much time than it'd be worth. If you have any ideas on what jobs should include alternate models, and the models they should have available, I'd either respond using a format and images on this post or create another suggestion at a later date when ready.

I don't want to keep rambling, but this is just unneccesary lmao.

I'd argue that both your comments on this thread are more unnecessary than the original post. 

Kyra was simply pointing out that there are female vanilla assets that we are not using, that she would like to use.
I'm not opposed to allocating those unused player models to jobs. Every gmod player has those models installed so its a waste to not use them.

Kyra specifically mentioned the suggestion wasn't about bringing in new models for people to download from workshop.
However, I'm also not opposed to finding some new player models from workshop to add to the server either (as long as Garnet is okay with it ofc).
Most player models are usually only 1-20MB each, so if he gave me a 20MB allowance to find some new models and test them, that could be a dozen new models that people can RP as.


Here's just a few examples from a quick search through workshop. I've only tested like two of these so far, but I only looked into it for a few minutes.


Clover / Payday2 / 13MB

Zero-Suit Samus / Metroid / 1.6 MB

*this is the only one that I feel doesnt really fit in DRP, but just shows how good a 1.6MB player model can look*

Better idea. I unlocked it and hid every post that had nothing to do with the thread. Now people can continue with debating the suggestion per the rules.

[Bozee 202]

+1 I think its a good idea that would add variety

Your suggestion has been Accepted,

@proggy and I will keep this in mind when looking for new player models.

Please note that accepted suggestions will not necessarily be implemented into the server, but rather forked over to the development team for a second opinion, at which point they are free to choose between implementation or not.
