Party System

[Nade Jones]

Name: Nade

RP Rank: Maj

Suggestion: Add a party system to the server which allows multiple options which could be customised to their server's liking such as a xray outline, disabling friendly fire etc - this would allow for better organisation for groups of troopers, jedi, Bounty hunters and would be a good feature especially for new players.

Implementation: the following links are examples how implementation could be handeled. https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/2109 https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/4188

Lore: N/A

Workshop content if applicable: N/A
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

As long as it doesn't cause mass lag I feel like this could promote more tactical combat which is cool.

I think this might be the only issue...

+1 Interesting, Tho I am concerned about compatibility with our content.

[Dennis]

+1 Now this is a suggestion 

[Rohan]

If it doesn't look worse than my hair in the morning, it'd be epic.

[Fenrir]

+1 I'd give it a try. It makes sense to see your squad mates when our helmets do have some sort of basic hud right? Wouldn't be too breaking

[Hero]

+1 yes

I used to play on a SWRP server that had something extremely similar to this a few years back. 

I never noticed any lag and it doesn't strain the server because it is really is just focused around the client using it and not the other people.

I guess it would be decent to have

+1 big time, would make ACE reports a lot quicker and make emplacing guys in the defense/staging an offensive maneuver much easier. 

[Bleach]

+1 Could be really useful when you're in a battle and when you need to check for ACE reports from Medics!

-1 The issue I have with party addons for a server of this style is you still run into the issue of youre only "Partying" with your own Battalion or group of friends and unless all clones are in the same group then there could still be friendly fire, ect. Now this would be cool to some degree if it's a passive system but to be brutally honest we still have people abuse warp system despite being taught how it works and the rules and regulations behind it. That being said there would have to be some form of teaching this new buddy system to players and that is the hardest thing to do day one as it would either take up a CC training time by having some rules added in training room or it would be us teaching people daily in OOC which fills chat and can make RP not feel worth it to complete.

[Naffen]

I beg to differ, they wouldn't abuse warp system. just because they'd be in a squad, server rules still apply, I don't know how warping and party system correlate but sure. in some of the addons, the party system disables friendly fire for those in the squad or enables it so it can still have that aspect of a fire fight, it simply allows for more organised squads and can be used for multiple people from different battalions

Could just limit creating a party to officer ranks to prevent these issues

So without adding to the addon I do not believe the one suggested can be limited to only set players, I believe it is accessible to all, there are some that can be limited to certain players but for our heavily modded version of DarkRP I don't think that would work Jad or Joah would have more say to that matter because it worked off of vanilla jobs back in the day.

Squads are a good idea. I could see how the issue of performance would come up, like its adding more script to the server and dedicated resources to making it work, plus it would need to be configured so that it would work with d3a admin system for the weight system or it could just be limited to team/category base maybe. Either way i think its a good thing.

[Otter]

+1 if it doesnt cause Lag

[Shockpoint]

+1 this could be especially good for SOBDE

Shit would be like republic commando

[Comics]

+1, it's just generally useful
