Title: RND Parkour Server
Post by: Monorail Cat on May 06, 2013, 05:05:17 PM
   A while ago, there was a server called EVO Hardkour Parkour.  This server ran the Parkour gamemode, which was absolutely awesome.  If you've heard of it, you can skip this little part here...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   Something neat this server had was an in-game dj.  This dj would have music submitted on the forums by members, and you would buy song-plays with points (I'll get to that) to let you add a song to the 'To Play' list.  I believe this was called "Wolf DJ".
   I mentioned points just a second ago.  Every 10 minutes, you got 20 points on the server.  You could also get points by doing mini-games, such as capping the flag or tagging the Hunted.  These points were used to buy song-plays, hats (melon, bucket, skull, etc.), and player trails for Freerunner (I could see us using rank-specific trails, such as VIP's and Admins getting VIP and Admin trails, respectively.  Also, if we really want to go this far, I can see the points as being something potentially purchasable on the website.

   If this ends up actually going forth, which I really hope it does, the dude programming the game may contact me for more exact details on how the server can be reborn (I can't program worth squat; if I could, I would have done this).  I think it would be a very popular server, seeing as how a lot of the Gmod community knows about parkour, but hasn't been able to find a server lately.  It would be awesome (though ambitious) to see this actually happen!  :)

--EDIT--
I have found a brand new parkour server.  It's pretty different, but neat, but different.  I still think it would be neat to have our own...

Sounds cool.  I would try it if coolz or another rNd member were to host this.

Coolz have been working for a shop in the servers for good time. (yomocoins  :omgwtftrolld: )

I don't know if he still supports that idea or if he just don't got time to work on it or what happened.

I think it would be better to focus first on the gamemode itself.

I agree.  The shop is just a fun little thing that could be implemented later.  But the gamemode itself is a lot of fun.

Unrelated to Parkour, but related to the thread still.  I'm against having a shop.

Purchasable points? nope.

Thought everything else sounds cool as I've played Parkour 1 or 2 times and it was decent.

A shop in general I am against.

Parkour I don't care either way for. (Though honestly, I think most Parkour servers are dead.)


I'm against having a shop because it just kind of messes with things a lot. (No if it was just for PArkour and not for TTT/other games modes I wouldn't mind as much.)

Though I still don't care for shops.

With the servers being empty for about a month, I wouldn't mind if something new came along.

there was alredy a thread about the shop

you would gain it with the score you get on the servers

you wouldn't be able to use custom things on TTT

and a lot more of things, but yeah.


anyways I tried to play parkour once and I didn't understood it, still would like to try it out again.

I'm not talking about a cross-server shop.  Just a shop for parkour that lets you get different looks.  But yeah, I expected that actually buying the points with monies was going to get bad response.  But i put it in just in case.

Well during the last semester of school less people go on really. :P Finals and crap.

Oh well that I'm cool with. Might be a lot of effort just for that one game mode though.

I am totally against having a shop, I don't want rNd to have hats and shit and turn into friendly players or some other shitty server.

I don't mind a shop, as long as the items and cosmetics you can buy do not effect gameplay. Hats, trails and misc in TTT is a no no.


On topic: this gamemode looks very fun.

I see it as the type of gamemode that's fun for a couple hours, then's empty for the next 4 months. It looks fun, but not something lasting that I think should have it's own dedicated server. But hey that's just me.

That's true but Aren't all game modes in g mod (majority wise) empty in 4 months I mean even the ttt has been dead lately I think a new server would be pretty cool but at the same time would cost some work to do. And pretty much die out so in a way I sort of agree I guess

I really don't think putting up a parkour server would really be worth it at all. I recall parkour being slightly popular when it first came out, would have people playing on it because there was only really one server for it. Then even that died down pretty quick from what I remember. And I don't think Marie means be popular until 4 month's time at which point it would die. I'm pretty sure she means that it would have people playing for the first very short period of time and then be empty for four months before it gets taken down.  Basically I would have to say that's a reasonable assumption. Same thing that happened with Flood for the most part when it was brought back.
And with everyone thinking it should have a shop as well, that's a hell of a lot of work for something that probably won't last.

Having a jailbreak server would be nice.

just that it needs good rules and active moderators in game.
