K-Vin's Climb SWEP Suggestion


K-Vin

Recommended Posts

Posted

Name: K-Vin | Kal Skirata

RP Rank: Major

Suggestion: Add Climb SWEP to select jobs.

Implementation: Requires a workshop addon

Lore: Climb SWEP innately is not a "Lore" thing but it is a utility item that allows the server to attain lore type of capabilities to classes without cluttering the server.

- Jetpacks: There are many squads on server that could have jetpacks and would fully fit the classes lore, but for obvious reasons can not ALL be given jetpacks. Climb SWEP goes a long way in provided that for those whitelists/roles without a negative hit towards those that do have jetpacks.

- Grapple Hooks/Guns: Many, Many, Many, clone troopers and commandos had and would use grapple hooks as a means to traverse so in lore this would make alot of sense. The issue with grapple guns themselves as a counter argument is the huge abuse of swinging around like spider man, or grapple hooking on to flying ships etc. Climb SWEP allows the RP capabilities of "Grappling up a wall" and can also serve the purpose of removing the option of "/me grapples up the wall" where they proceed to noclip up anyways.

- ARF: This would bring a whole new life to ARF trooper/whitelists and also for any recon battalions. They are supposed to be able to gain high ground and get positions that a recon trooper or a ARF should and would be able to. The variety it can bring to the "Scouts" of the server would be huge.

Workshop content if applicable:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=113495466&searchtext=climb+swep

If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following if not, leave it out.

Add or Change:
This is something that would need further discussion on what classes get this as I don't believe all should, but roughly I would say any SOBDE to avoid the requirement of giving them jetpacks or grapple guns that they normally had. A lot of 41st, possibly a Green Company exclusive thing to give them another piece of kit for people to be interested in. All of the mercenaries, or some of the militia who would realistically have a jetpack but do not. Rancor in generally having a large portion of the ARF troopers could utilize it greatly as well. 

Description: There is a huge dynamic that Climb SWEP can provide to the server, and allow for a huge amount of creativity in how squads and battalions play, and the opportunities for events to have scouting battalions actually Scout Out prior to an event or something, without giving them all, loud, and very powerful jetpacks.

- Skill: Climb SWEP is a utility item that adds a MASIVE amount of skill and practice for people to improve on. There are loads of unique techniques, and skillful ways to traverse and navigate areas using this item. It is a skill that people can turn into trainings, or entertainment for others, such as open climb SWEP courses in the CSR for people to practice and improve their form. 

- Tryouts/Training: Like with Skill, this item can provide and whole new portion for people to practice and test others on in their skill and proficiency with. It makes people have a reason to go and join a squad or battalion that has the item in order to practice and try to get the skills necessary for squads and positions that have difficult but attainable tests for it. 

- In-Game Application: Climb SWEP unlike jetpacks and grapple guns give a Unique and fun method of getting around in events but limits them from the capabilities of the others. People with climb SWEP are unable to suddenly be on a Muni or Providence like you can with jetpacks meaning that it does not take away from the huge advantage that jetpack users have while still giving that ARF like feeling and gameplay that people would look for. Events can have a wall that "Must be scaled by those ARF troopers to drop the ray shield on the other side to let the forces in!" while also having jetpacks not allowed by by the event, giving verticality variance without having jetpacks fly right over everything. 

- Enforcement: Like anything on the server, there needs to be rules when something like this is added. There are very obvious ones that can be enforced by CG or Staff such as no climb SWEP on base, or no wall grabbing on to someone's head, or stuff like that, but other than that there are not many "Exploits" or "Abuses" for climb SWEP that can not be covered with a simple, Climb SWEP abuse is strictly not allowed. Two that come to mind if any to make it transparent and clear of what people CAN do with it is "Super Jumping" which is the climb SWEP rolling followed by Bhopping, or "Climb SWEP flying" Which is an abuse using ceilings with the item.

Closing Statement: I have spent many hours practicing and honing skills with Climb SWEP and think it is an overall positive for the server to provide uniqueness to roles, and a new way of enjoying the servers gameplay. I understand this is a significant change but I implore you to think of the unique capabilities and enjoyment that it can bring to the server. I am happy to explain and go more in depth about this with anyone who asks!

This has been suggested many times in the past and has been denied every single time almost always for performance issues. While I think it could add a lot to the server in terms of gameplay and what not combining it with our already massive amount of addons that cause significant performance issues as is will only make it worse. 

I feel like this is a suggestion that would probably require a sacrifice and I don’t think there’s anything worth giving up for climb swep. We’d be looking at trading things like WiltOs or LVS which is not worth just so some select jobs can climb a wall.

-1 if that’s still the case but if I’m wrong and something has changed then that’s a W! I’ve just seen this suggestion too many times now I see it in my sleep.

Well I would agree, Our current development team has found a low performance alternative for med revivies, something that used to crash the server when implemented long ago. I would like to see if they can cook up a custom add on for us that does what the climb swep does. I would not like to see the linked add on added to the server. I think something that does the same job custom made by our dev team could be successful however.

Yeah I’m all for any alternatives as well. Maybe a much simpler climbing add on could be made. Current dev team is cooking rn so it may be possible.

The suggested add on is a no go regardless from me.

+1 As long as its not included in tryouts thats fine. Every server i've played on that had the climb swep made it a tryout requirement for the most basic shit and actually skill diffed a ton of new people into getting into bare bones battalions like 501st or 41st.

I hardcore feel this is gonna get denied because climb sweps fundamentally are laggy due to the way that GMOD calculates physics but if they can find a way to design it in a way that doesn't break the server then +1

Yeah...
