TOPIC: [UPDATED] Thoughts on a Flood server?

[UPDATED] Thoughts on a Flood server? 6 years 8 months ago #644175

I'm interested in creating a new server with ZARP.
I've made a Flood server before, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Vote on the poll, if the community like it - I'll try bring it up with CM.


What is Flood?
In this gamemode, you build boats to escape the oncoming flood. Once you've done so, you must then destroy other players boats to earn money for more props and weapons the next round.


Whats your plans for the server?
At this point in time, I have not planned much for the server, and I've not even taken this into consideration with Community Managers and Owners. Although, I can promise you that the server will be unique, and enjoyable to the community.
As people have posted, the Flood gamemode isn't exactly the most popular gamemode in Garry's Mod, but I believe thats just because there isn't any good Flood servers out there. Its actually a really fun gamemode, which I believe lots of people would play, or atleast try out.
I have opened up multiple servers before (hence I left zarp multiple times, resigning from my role as SSRP Admin and DR Admin). None of the servers I opened were Flood servers, but I have tested, and messed around with the Flood gamemode, and its suprisingly customizable, and I doubt it would be difficult to put what we want into the gamemode, such as events.
I plan on starting up the server from a pre-existing gamemode (Flood 2.0), I will heavily edit it so its 'different', and make it more 'Zarp' (if that makes sense.)
I noticed that BOT Dan's Jukebox was added to the Surf server, I have that purchased on gmodstore, so if people enjoy the jukebox, I could also add that in (Just an extra little thing to make the server that little bit more enjoyable. Everyone loves a bit of music)
It really all depends on the community's input. I don't plan on doing anything that the users don't like.

How long do you plan on working on the server?
Working on it until its open? As long as it takes. I doubt it'll take a long time though, I'd like to release the server as fast as I can, for your enjoyment.
How long I plan on keeping it up and working on it? As long as I'm in Zarp (I hope). I'm dedicated to this, so if its passes with the CMs, I'll work on it, and keep improving it as long as I stay with Zarp, or as long as they decide to put up with me.

How will you keep the server alive with an active player base?
Constant improvement. Listening to the community's suggestions and see what they want done and added to the server. Anything is possible I believe, so if the users want anything on the Flood server, I will try my best to deliver that to them.
Making special events, like pirate wars and stuff like that. I've answered this in the Q&A, but I can't make it from scratch. I want a bug and issue free server, and I'll just make constant improvements.
I can't promise that the server will do well, but there are mutliple servers I've been on where they've just put the default Flood gamemode in and left the server. Those servers somehow get minumum 30 players.



I'm sorry I couldn't deliver this to you all sooner, I was banned for posting on a spam post.
I hope I could answer any of your questions you may be wondering.

How will I make it fun, alive and fresh? [ Click to expand ]


Do you expect it to have a constant playerbase? Flood has little to none variation. [ Click to expand ]

You'd just bail out at anytime. [ Click to expand ]

You should have it open for a month for the memes, don't expect it to actually bring in a large playerbase as it isn't a gamemode with variation.

Great idea in theory, however I highly doubt Zarp are going to work with you as you could just pull out at any time.

I don't think this would work bud; sources

I've done some looking into the gamemode and have reached a conclusion:

The gamemode is actually not an overly popular gamemode in itself. The gamemode comes very low in the rankings of gmod gamemodes. Putting in the time and effort into a Flood server would be nice, and people may enjoy it, however it just wouldn't attract the necessary playerbase, and would likely not have very much of a positive impact on the community. I personally don't know an overly large amount about the gamemode itself, but based on the research that I have done, I don't feel that it would work very well. Even if the server were good, users would not find it due to how low the gamemode itself is in the rankings, leading to a much lower number of players seeing the server, and few players joining.


The server just wouldn't work also

The fun part is that you get to make your own dank boat, the gamemode itself shooting other peoples boats is just boring as fuck

coming to think about this would be boring since the server isn't even in the top 5 servers for Garry's Mod


Also can I add that you need trust with being a server owner and you need to be constantly dedicated towards this. Having trust is one of the most important things

What would be better is making a detail post about what the server would have and then ask for our opinions. Think it through, if the players like it get to work.

Is there any point of making a Flood server if there is already a custom coded one on FP?

Post below if I should stick with Flood, or comment a gamemode you'd like to see.
