the zarp ui is what drew so many people into this server including me because it wasn’t generic, im getting some real copy paste darkrp vibe from this, if you really want this to work then at least have an option to opt to use the old F4 menu
The reason for a new F4 menu is because the existing one is both visually and code-wise far to cluttered to the point where it is causing limitations for content that we can include in it. A recode and redesign of the F4 menu has been needed for many years, as the current one is over a decade old and has only had more code slapped onto it over the years, reaching the point where the code is so messy that it had to be split into 2 files due to hitting the limit of filesize that can be loaded in Lua.
Still using the old F4 menu, which is cluttered, unoptimised and not something which fits with the current scene in Garry's Mod anymore, isn't an option

devs i have a question, can you move shit around in the inventory like the old one or nah
The old code for inventory sorting was incredibly unoptimised and causing issues, so for the time being this is not a feature and has been replaced by category-based sorting, however it is likely that custom sorting may be re-implemented in the future.
I feel like you just don't get it Xnator everyone who has spent years playing ssrp in this community has had good times at some point and when remembering those moments you get a nostalgic feeling and wishing the old moments you had could be reproduced but it ain't possible when the cm team / owners don't get how people feel and what they want I mean right now the server is cluttered with content to point where it ain't fun at all, fixing the menu sure might of been needed but it ain't solving the server's problem, you also keep saying we are here to listen yet we don't see any feedback been applied. just make a new post asking people what do they want to see next in SSRP and apply the ideas in a new server that has a new database and has nothing to do with the old one just give it a fucking shot it's not like you guys are on tight budget or anything since we keep seen unnecessary shit like Murder, Minecraft and please stop saying we are not resetting the sever that's not what I am asking.
As many older players have moved on from Garry's Mod and ZARP nowadays, our focus is not to give a few people a little bit of nice nostalgia. Our focus has to be on what works in the wider Garry's Mod and DarkRP community at the moment, and a reset or keeping old, outdated features would only hinder that.
I don't think this is a bad approach. But keep in mind, while players have moved on from playing SSRP for example that doesn't mean they won't come back if things they want to see changed or fixed get done. Instead of spending hours and hours on a UI update there could have been a much better use of time in my opinion that could attract/bring back older players but also get newer ones on.
People will not join the server unless other people are already on the server. Getting a foundation of players playing again is the goal here to build back from, and you won't be doing that with only a HUD update.
