Server Idea...

Post by Anonymous »

I had gotten an idea that I have told to (GR|CMX] Exorcist), which he thought was a good idea, about an Arcade server. As in, you spawn outside an arcade named whatever, you walk in and it's just like a gaming/arcade room but more like a giant ass thing full of arcade games. We could vote on weither or not we should do this, which might not change the fact that we will try it out, but will help us. Also, I don't think it has been done yet on hl2, which could make it famous.

1: We need some good mappers

2: Either we give the idea to Ant and Nick, and they make a server for this.. if it is voted up :P

3: WE NEED MORE IDEAS

4:We need you guys to spread it out if you like the idea or not.

P.S. the main idea is to get a huge ass arcade going, with a vip room for donators and shit. thanks if you vote yes. C;

* Sounds like a good thing to me ears... But, what will this look like? A ping pong game? a bhop training area? a shoot the pigeons or the flying disk thing?
* Just go on the map, leave, create server, do VIP stuff on your own. Seems legit?

Okay, there are going to be more than one section, relying on the suggestions we get
1: oldschool
which will look like an arcade from like 2000's with stuff like dig dug, tetris, and galaga
2: new
which will look like... this one is hard to make an example of, but it woul prob be something like racecar games, or other stuff. whatever gets recondmended
3: other
which will look like whatever, relying on the games recondmended. :p
^arcade rooms.

and... the VIP room thing, it should only be made as a donator room, get support. or we could remove it from the whole idea

Sounds kinda like the theater in Gmod and also like it would already be a gmod server (if it isn't)
But I think it's a great idea.
  • few questions
    - Will it be just 1 map like theater server?
    - How many games would you expect to have?
    - How freakin' long would it take to code all those arcade games in? :p

    Suggestions
    - If your going to have many many many games, sort them into rooms such as "Racing" "etc."
    - Be sure to have a nice lobby area (especially if it's 1 map)
    - add a gambling system to earn more coins/points/rupees for a store
    - High scores board for each game
    »»Either in the lobby or a 1st 2nd 3rd above each game
    - Store to buy models/hats/trails/etc. (little late :p)

Great suggestions, thanks!

- Will it be just 1 map like theater server? A: Yes
- How many games would you expect to have? A: As many as to fit people's needs c;
- How freakin' long would it take to code all those arcade games in? :p A: Prob a long time, but including that we havent gotten any recruits yet, its hard to make an estimation. Hey, it may take a whole year... doubt it though

P.S. We are hoping to get it done by atleast 2 months or less. prob. less than 1 month :P
btw, none of these answers are 100% true, because nobody has applied themselves to help out with the mapping yet. also, we should do a vote on wheter this should be made or not. :)

Hats, please, no hats.

But yea, a gambling zone is a good idea, (admins remoting the cash dependant players? xD)
But, what is the point of having a trail on an arcade zone... Maybe there can be some sort of,
"dming" zone, where you can use the stuff you bought, etc.

But working on the "money" system is really needed before mapping the whole concept.

Nice idea, i'll post again if I have suggestions or questions.

PS : For the old-school arcade don't make a 2000s one please.Make a 1980s-1990s one, it's better.
Good old times.

great idea, but you told me already :P anyways if you guys are on board with the idea me and lego will be need mappers here are ther list of available spots:
1. mappers (1-4) - must be advanced with architecture
2. entity mappers (1-3) - must be really good with entities // notes 1 spot filled by me
3. modelers (1-5) - must make arcade themed models
4. texture makers (1-3) - must make arcade textures

demon is now in as a mapper

Reloaded knows coding, try asking him.
Blake too.
Jonizal could host a server or something for UG.

I suggest Demon, Seba and myself for mapping, scripting and coding right?
