its called a feature, not a bug

Bug Type (Server:): materials on tool gun Severity level (1-3): 3 Evidence (if you can): Description of the bug: There are none of the cool materials on main, we only have the vanilla gmod materials. How can we recreate it: open q menu on main and click the materials tool

THIS MAP IS GOATED WITH THE SAUCE!!!! conrad please dont let it end : (((((((((

Donatello. Hands down

a suggestion was made already before to add the voice swep a year or two ago... it was denied for causing lag.

If you only look at the process to change the voice range of a player its not that hard from what I understand. I did some brief research and it looked like it was only like 1-2 lines of code. But that doesn't cover how to make it happen through the actual staff system. I have no idea what that code looks like so this might be completely impossible by limitations of the system we use right now. I just know that I have seen this type of command before on other SW servers.

Name: Dono RP Rank: Knight Suggestion: Implement a staff command that allows a staff member to extend the range of their voice to a certain extent. This could probably be done by using the lua voice distance parameter or by a scale similar to the set scale command. The actual changing of the voice range seems simple enough, I have no idea how the staff system works so I don't know how hard it would be to implement a new command like this. If its something that easily can be done, I think its worth putting this at the bottom of the list of things to develop. Implementation: The intercom is something that ppl complain about a shit ton. Its server wide and the start and end noise ear rapes you when you least expect it. This could be a good alternative for gms to talk to a large amount of people over a specific distance away from them. It would theoretically work just like the voice amplifier swep but just less lag and only staff can toggle themselves to it. Its a great way to say something "over the loudspeakers of anaxes" and not across the entire galaxy with the intercom entity. This doesn't need to be anywhere near the top of the list of importance for development - but it will still be a nice feature to have on the server. Lore: loud Workshop content if applicable: requires development (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

Question: What are the actual specs of the server box? Do we split the server box with other customers from the server host? If so, what is the actual utilization of the box we get or how much do we actually have as our own to utilize? Comments/Concerns: My entire time here it has always been a game of speculation about what we actually have that runs the server we all play on. I know a lot of rumors proliferate since there is no official statement made about what "we have a new server box" actually means. A lot of us here are tech literate at a basic level, at least enough to understand some computer terminology. I think if it was publicly out there whats actually provided through our server host contract, there would be less drama in this community. There would definitely be less toxicity / disgruntlement from the players towards the founders. I dont know if this is a soft spot or something but Its always seemed like a weird secret to keep. Also maybe its not a secret... maybe yall are just never actually asked directly because ppl are too scared to bring it up around you. Staff Member you're asking: @Square

guilty, without a doubt

lemme know when

Yes I know it was removed from rotation….. it’s still a map that can be used by the gm Team so id rather see it used beyond its grave rather then jayar making a map and having it thrown out the window entirely. The map is useable, it just needs to be fixed.

Name: Dono RP Rank: Knight Suggestion: Fix the buggy skygate on the venator and if possible, make the outerspace around the venator more optimized / have a higher performance. The venator pretty much entirely relies on gms to provide variety on the outer part of the ship. I dont care if this was previously put in bug report. Clearly the venator has its flaws but there is still a number of people within the community who believe it has use. Implementation: I dont care how long this takes, I just want to see it fixed eventually. Just fix the map so its actually viable. Venator extensive is more viable to the gm team for what it provides, especially now that the sr venator isnt ever going to be used on main regularly. If the gm team ever wants to use the map, at least have the map be viable for use in the first place. Lore: venator Workshop content if applicable: idk you have the map (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

-1 i think the venator is just massively underused by the gm team. It has twice the creative potential of anaxes for those who can actually build. I think the GM leadership team needs to look into working on stuff for people to use on venator days since clearly people havent been creative enough for the past 4 months we have had the venator to consistently have entertainment. Anaxes is just as boring as the venator, the gm team just does more on anaxes consistently (even if its usually the most mind numbing droid/bug shooting event that could just be a CSR sim). I personally have been able to build some pretty creative things like asteroid bases and ship docking stations and feel that I have only scrached the surface of what could be pulled out of the venator. I know other people have built like funky asteroid events like unkindled before.... Im not trying to diss them but I strongly believe there is a large decrease in the amount of events/ encounters actually conducted on the venator, in comparison to anaxes. I would say by the end of the summer, if the venator is still boring as fuck constantly with little amounts of events, it should be just removed entirely or set to only 1 day. The venator relies solely on the GM team to be at its most active capacity.... which I dont think is happening. Look at any shipwalking rp server.... their gm teams pump out events 24/7 every hour most of the time.

+1 big gun go pew pew or boom boom.

The point of trainings is to teach people but also to practice skills or knowledge to understand them better. ARC is more than just lore, if you actually know the lore then you would understand why the training should be revamped. ARC troopers were supposed to be tactical advisors and the best of the best in strategy. PvP isn’t even the primary goal of the trainings, it’s about teaching practical leadership skills that go beyond gmod or any other virtual environment. The mentality that you know it all or no one can teach you something new is cringe. Not to mention extremely egotistical.

+1 The main reason why ppl want ARC to be revamped is because of the lack of quality of the ppl who go through the program and have the certification already. The only way to improve ARC across the board is to force ppl to recertify with the new changes, it defeats the purpose of changing the ARC program. Gmod barely sees new players now anyways, this would give a lot of ppl on the server something to do as well, instead of just bhoping around base mindlessley. Now 6 days is a little bit much, thats like joining a big Arma unit but I think it can be done since ARC is an OPTIONAL program. ARC are supposed to be the best of the best in the battalions, if cpl joe shmoe can out maneuver an ARC trooper, shit aint right. Serious RP is non existent on this server, the ability to have a somewhat more serious thing here is amazing. If you dont want to see seriousness, dont join ARC. I can also say that as an Arma player, some of this training goes beyond gmod in a lot of ways. There are lots of opportunities to practice leadership and communication skills, trainings like this only build character and they are optional for those who dont give a damn.

+1 this is mint. ppl complain enough about intercom and being too illiterate to read chat.

Huge +1 this is genius Morbin time

it only caused lag if you were stupid and set the spawner to spam like 50 lasers in 0.1 seconds. +1 Another tool / function removed because "it can be abused". Literally everything that staff gets can be abused. I can think of 100 other ways to fuck shit up with what we already have, no point in restricting these things. Especially not on event server.

+1 I think we honestly have too many battalions that do the same thing. Downsizing and focusing on specializing things is the best thing that could happen. Battalionization / standardizing everything to be the same in my opinion has hurt more then it has helped. I would be willing to support DU being removed to help with this. Just like Cyan said, I think CG should be merged. Also speaking from experience as a ex 41st CMDR x2, recon doesnt exist on gmod. I think the worst part would just be destroying the communities that some of these groups have formed. Would be cool to find a solution to just removing some of the extra fluff of battalion groups while migrating the people in each group smoothly.

this wasnt like advertising another community or trying to do anything malicious. The perma is extremely excessive for this..... +1
