TOPIC: [DEATHRUN] Suggestions

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Update RTD, I was originally going to make this just to get rid of the scream as it's so loud and bugs out the stop sound, however, the more I've been playing the more issues I've noticed with the RTD. For example, the increase/decrease size for a certain amount of time, the majority of the time leaves someone stuck in the map which requires a TP. Then on some maps, you can use the slap/rocket boost into the sky to skip over half of the map. Additionally, the freeze RTD is practically useless and leads to someone being stuck for a long period of time, for example - [RTD] chikinugg has been frozen for 20 seconds.


How / why would it benefit the Deathrun server:
It would cause fewer problems for the server, fewer exploits, and would stop people from getting stuck in the map

Potential Issues/Exploits:
RTD could become too stale

Additional notes: Please get rid of the scream

I like this idea and agree that the card system is hard to navigate never mind newer players trying to find there way around this. I used to like collecting skins and just buying them instead of waiting a whole day to collect a skin.

RTD is perfect because Spectrum made it

We had a solution in mind for the shoutvote and the rule but I never got around to implementing it, I'm sure it's something Hitman will fix when he gets the time for it

Shout vote doesn’t break any rules

That shouldn’t be there, the whole point of the shout vote is to shout and you wouldn’t be breaking rules.

those 3 were all on the server before, dont think they had any exploits

I know they were and where much fun but in the past there was a orange map too but can't find it sadly

This man speaks the truth, there is no possible way that there is any bugs with the RTD system.

(On a serious note, the size issue with people getting stuck is simply due to how a lot of maps which have entrances and whatever which would make you too large to fit through or maybe too small to jump over, this could be fixable by making the player keep their original hitbox and just increase the size of the model(assuming that's possible havent touched glua in a while) or alternatively it could just be removed, as for the rocket / slap into the sky and scream, it is very easy to alter the rtd system even when considering the fact pretty sure I didn't put too many code comments. The slap into the sky and scream being obnoxious is just changing one variable for each.)

In summary correct

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting): Removing Server Rule 1.2 for Deathrun, and adding Scamming as it's own Section.

How / why would it benefit the Deathrun server: It would benefit in not having a contradictory rule to the wider Community rules on Scamming, as it's currently stated in the Deathrun Server Rules that: "..scamming for items in game using the trade system when VIP has nothing to do with it is allowed however."
So it would be better to have Scamming a section above the General Conduct Rules such as featured in the SSRP Server Rules, and just removing Server Rule 1.2 entirely.

Potential Issues/Exploits: none.

Additional notes: Thanks for reading!

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting): Redoing Deathrun Server Rule 1.3 regarding Promotion of non-ZARP Services

How / why would it benefit the Deathrun server: Current Deathrun Server Rule 1.3 is highly confusing and firstly states that promotion of external games is allowed, yet later states that: "..no spreading Non-ZARP/External Games unrelated to Gmod community links in chat".
Therefore simply remaking the rule into a simple no-promotion rule would be better.

1.3 Promotion of non-ZARP services - Promotion of competing communities, competing services, pornographic content or other promotion of rulebreaking material is not allowed on our servers.

Potential Issues/Exploits: none.

Additional notes: It's also possible to keep the last sentence from the current Deathrun Server Rule 1.3 of "If you have proof of someone rulebreaking, don't post the proof in chat, put it into admin chat with @ before the link", after the rewritten rule.

Thanks for reading!

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting): new maps

How / why would it benefit the Deathrun server: new maps
deathrun_solar_v3_1
deathrun_harhar_v1
dr_windows_xp_sfw

Potential Issues/Exploits: harhar_v1 is ancient and solar_v3_1 is very simular to the helix map.

Additional notes: new maps

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting): Optimize and fix missing content

How / why would it benefit the Deathrun server:

Optimize
Last week the TTT server owner had trim ~1.2GBs of unused content from the download list. I was wondering if deathrun also had (?)GBs unused content, that users are needlessly downloading; making their join-to-spawn time longer than it should be.

Fix missing content
Basicly the Thor Hammer unlock is just an error sign. I didn't want to make another post just for this.

Potential Issues/Exploits: Just don't accidentally remove some in use content.

Additional notes: no
