MilitaryRP | The Nostalgia Update

[Nutter 15,194]

Some of you will say i'm on crack for posting this thread and/or the sickness I've had for the past few weeks has gone to my head, but no.

For whatever reason it is, getting around to talking to more people on the server and launching a successful Rust server re-inspired me to get more involved with the community once again. I've spent many hours playing MilitaryRP on an alt account (only base factions though) and found alot of flaws, whether it be in the script itself, or the fact that our server has lost its original appeal and no longer has a strong management team. We lack severely in our upper staff team as nobody is really vocal about the progression on the server; i've seen members like Shrimp and Jackal contribute more of their opinion than our entire admin+ team combined. Because of these reasons I'll once again taking it into my own hands like in 2016-2017 and make alot of controversial changes.

 

Some of those changes that I AM willing to clarify would be:

1) Weapons will absolutely be re-balanced, and rather than keeping people from complaining and making all guns almost identical, we will have alot of variety in handling and damage between factions.

I may also take a look at how CW2.0 from workshop deals with weapon handling, as suggested by @Jackal

 

2) A dedicated event server will be hosted where GameMasters will have the ability to use NPC spawners, /event chat, spawn weapons, noclip, and cloak themselves in order to set up a linear, well-made event. Documents will be provided for Gamemasters, and I'm hoping for 2 unique events a week. The Gamemaster to contribute the best events will be incentive with free credits per successful event host. The event server will be in their hands to spend hours on and organize a perfect event. Events may eventually take place on the main server, but the event server will still be used for preparations.

 

3) Air Force is making a return (Dodgy still around?) in a unique way that I think alot of other servers will soon begin mimicking, so lets enjoy it while it's an exclusive.

Airforce will be present on our main server as a combative faction, thus adding onto the US' arsenal of factions - they can participate in war in the same sense that every other faction can and cap objective. The different lays where we will have a dedicated piloting server which will be password protected and allowed for only players who are part of the Air Force. Given the password to the server by a buddy? no problem - you will just be in the default recruit class, which also has no speaking abilities on the server. Good job!

On this server members of the airforce can train using different assigned aircrafts, and even battle automatically spawned Russian Forces soldier hostile NPCs. (still trying my best to code a PROPERLY intelligent NPC on Garry's Mod, but I may use the same base we used on StarWars years back!)

 

4) You will all know within the following day or two, we may or may not lose half our playerbase because of this change

This makes me so happy, I was honestly a little sad to see how much of the variety was lost because of people complaining about balance but I'm glad to see this stuff making a comeback. 

Also, Airforce?

All explained underneath 

Airforce would essentially be used in events to their full potential

I actually thought about this today but told myself that it probably wouldn't happen. I guess I was wrong. I hope this helps with variety a lot as well as giving people more things to do than just sims, kidnaps, tryouts, and war. I'd love to see this put in action and hope that the rest of the community feels the same.

Wait this is such a good idea actually, I might become a US main again once this is released lol. Can't wait for this to come out!

 

Gonna be a blast re-living the nostalgia with Air Force coming back lmao, gotta find Dodgy and get him back on lmao.

bring back third person 

[PraetorDon 485]

Definitely has potential to change up the "meta".

 

What would be the hit to server/client performance with the vehicles added?

I was never aware I removed third person, or do you mean the abusable third person we used to have?

RU doesn't get one? 


Great update either way

Ah, missed the part where the vehicles themselves will be on a different server. Seems pretty cool, keep up the good work!
