TOPIC: Custom Taunts

Server Name:

ZARP | TTT | Pointshop | Betting System | Leaderboards |

| 1 | ZARP | DEATHRUN | NEW GAMEMODE | NEW LEVELS

| 2 | ZARP | DEATHRUN | NEW GAMEMODE | NEW LEVELS

ZARP | BHOP | 100 TICK | POINTSHOP |

Suggestion Title:

Custom Taunts

How would it benefit the server:

It would add so many new taunts, that you can practically say there will be an infinite number of new taunts available. My idea is that you can choose how your player model would react to the taunt, and that you can choose the music / sound for your taunt. I see many players finding creative new taunts that they'll like.

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Taunts that can potentially have homophobic, racial, and other slurs. But this probably can't happen if we make the custom taunts really expensive, and so only the trusted players that play on the servers for a long time can only unlock the custom taunts.

Very long taunts, but surely we can implement a system that forces the player to take a part of the sound file, probably a maximum of 10 seconds, and go with that.

Very short taunts, but again, we can make the player choose a part of the sound file that is a minimum of maybe 4 seconds.

Very loud taunts and very quiet taunts, but maybe we can make the player choose how loud the taunt is, and if it's too loud, then an SA+ can change the player's taunt himself.

Additional notes:

Interesting concept, but there are those people that ruin it for everybody else by making a harmful taunt. The way to prevent this would to make it very expensive, but even then would it be worth it?

Dunno, in my opinion, it would be a great idea, and if you say it'll be expensive, it probably is, but we should also consider the income of the owners because of the amount of people that buy VIP and booster packs.

Really cool idea, we can probably make a black list that superadmins or admins can edit, so it won't be a problem.

I would like to see this being added

they are working on this for the FP RP reboot if you take a look at the page so i think if they have already thought about it for FPRP then i don't see the harm in adding it for ZARP servers

This is a really good idea actually. +Support

I thought you only play SSRP and never play TTT

I can see a lot of people being happy about this being added, and it getting a lot of support but somewhere down the line, people will loophole the rules around it. It would definitely cause more problems than it would provide fun with, people will use taunts that may not be directly against the rules, but will get on people's nerves, opinions will conflict, disagreements will occur.

I'm not sure we should implement these at all, no matter the price, or even if we blacklist words.

You see a great suggestion, I see mass trolling potential. It will cause more trouble than fun imo, I prefer having a regularly updated pointshop with new taunts and models than this. And/or make it expensive as hell.

Good argument, the only solution I can see is maybe adding a rule that states you shouldn't get in conflicts with others because of their different opinions.

Did you read the "Potential Issues" I added, or are there some other problems you are talking about? If so, may I hear them?

I can sum it up in 1 word

The sound file duration will have to be the length of the animation, otherwise you'll be showing of slick dancemoves for like 3 remaining seconds without any sound. Having a low maximum sound duration, however, limits the choice drastically limits the choice of sounds, which makes it less worth to save up for.

This would require an SA+ to be on the server at all times, otherwise mods/admins have to kick the player if they refuse to adapt it and keep spamming it. We're staffmembers, not babysitters. We can't be 24/7 on the server monitoring every player's behaviour and taunts.

Also, I can smell the whole 'allahu akhbar' debate kicking off again, as I'm almost certain that it will be one of the most popular taunts. (Terrorist-based gamemode+a lot of ignorant players link allahu akhbar with terrorism instead of its true meaning).


Conclusion: As I stated before I'd rather have individually suggested taunts as this will cause a lot of problems.

I was thinking about something similar to this. But, all I can say it's not bad idea I would like to see this get implanted, so why not

Well, many taunts already don't have their sound files and animations in sync. I've had my animation end whilst the music was still playing, or my music end whilst my animation was still playing. Example being the Anaconda taunt. Though I have no problem with any of these sync issues whatsoever, here is anaconda:



As you can see, the animation lasts way longer than the music.

Maybe we can then just get Admins to do it too, and not SA+?

Well, that is a good argument, though I do fell that the owners should make a rule about this. Maybe having "Allahu Akbar" being acceptable, but only if they're being tolerant. If someone starts being racist, insta-ban for racism.
