Why is there so much blank space at the bottom? Why is there a scroll bar on the side when there is nothing to scroll too?

Remove the unnecessary "x left" label, increase the buttons' height, and match the actual window height with the buttons. And what is that scrollbar there for, when there's nothing to scroll to?

Will this update have any use for gems, ooorr...?

Although the rework of the UI looks okay, I will be supporting the other people with this one. It just looks like you have gone onto a darkRP server and stolen there ideas(NOT SAYING YOU HAVE). But from a player POV you guys are working on the complete wrong stuff to make the server active again. You are avoiding the reasons why the server/community has died. I for one loved zarp along with many people but there is nothing to keep you there. And if you are starting as a new player there is fuck all to do unless you want to spend 100's of hours. From mining to raiding the casino vault you gain basically nothing. Zarp was popular because how 1 of a kind it was, and how different it was to other servers. what you see when you play now
1, A huge map that you cant find anything
2, 100's if not 1000's of items
3, to get a single case you have to grind 100's of hours on one thing.
4, to lvl up as a cop you have to spend 100's of hours afking
5, to spin the wheel- you have to spend 100's of hours mining gems.

Zarp has turned into a fucking facebook minigame.

Don't get why people are crying about the update.
Nice work CM Team!

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

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inventory sorting was incredibly unoptimised and causing issues, so for the time being this is not a feature and has been replaced by category-based sorting, however it is likely that custom sorting may be re-implemented in the future.

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.

There's no need for a post asking what people want in the next update, as we have an entire section dedicated to that, which is where many ideas for features and content being added/changed in updates comes from: zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/server-issues

the new features that are being implemented are so out of touch with the community, you give the opposite of what is asked by players and in an instance where something is then done, is executed poorly almost majority of the time. telling people to create suggestions rather than actually having a civil discussion, is just infuriating and just comes to show how out of touch you all are and doing more bad rather than good.

Suggestions allow a civil discussion to be had within the community and for us to give our point of view.

If you have a better idea for how we can get suggestions from community members rather than letting people make suggestions in the appropriate manner, feel free to let us know!

Recently we've been accepting many suggestions and allowing for more discussions on them in response to community feedback. If you think a past suggestion has been denied which would be more beneficial currently, then there's nothing stopping you from making that suggestion again.

The majority of content that has been added recently has been in response to either community feedback and suggestions or our own observation from what other servers do right which we may not have been doing yet.

This thread is for discussion regarding the content in the update and specific suggestions for the update.
