    Gary's Mod is a brilliant game, I would have to choice between RP and Sand, I'm sorry I can't decide further.

    Sandbox...

    Me, beau and some other Gaming masters have been going on my locally hosted server for the past few evenings and having a shedload of fun.

    A good set of addons and a good map will give you loads of players, for the last 3 nights we've been running gm_botmap_v2 with wiremod (svn) wiremod addon pack(svn) PHX (svn) and a few more.

    Re: Gmod server: RP, sandbox or Zombie survival?

    Well I can't vote for the top 2, so I won't...I think we should split it to 2 32 player servers; 1 RP, 1 sandbox, but NO ZOMBIE SURVIVAL! ARRGHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO! It just becomes a mess and more importantly I'm awful at it. ZPS is enough :D

    Well, whichever GMOD game type will fill the most slots will be good.

    RP is good for attracting back frequenters, it doesn't really get many new players, i find that once a construct server has more than 5~ people on it more people will try to join.

    and once the server is full it will normally stay full.

    The sandbox server you had running the other day. put bluntly, sucked. It used two bad maps (GM_flatgrass, gm_new_worlds [Not a bad map, it just requires the spacebuild2 game-mode to be fun/functional]. The reason I find FG bad is because it gives the player little to do with the map itself...

    Compare these two feature lists:

    Code:
    Flatgrass 2008:
    It's huge, made it as big as Source can handle it.
    Large flat grassy space. (15000 square units approx)
    Loads of water. (surrounds the landmass, 8000 units wide)
    Contains 49 info_player_spawns.
    Enourmous skybox (10240 units tall)
    Spawnicon for the map.
    
    Code:
    Botmap:
    Arena
    
        * Center ramp falls down if an object is placed on
        * Storage area for vehicles, toggle button to release them
    
    Barriers at track edges to stop trains falling off
    
        * Pop up if someone switches the track
    
    Boat build area with water area
    
        * Dry/Wet dock, moving platform to launch boats using a toggle button. Easier to build on water.
        * Contains RT Screens.
        * Space to build two boats at a time in the dry dock.
        * Large water area.
        * Has a ramp into the water from the train track, and a ramp that faces upwards for stunts
    
    Custom maze room
    
        * Press use to make wall blocks pop up.
        * Large area, allowing complex mazes to be built.

        * Put a Wire User on the train and drive over the button while activating the user to switch tracks.
        * Can stay in train while track switching.
    
    Four Private build rooms
    
        * Doesn't allow people to access the rooms using noclip (Sends them to a Jail Room).
        * Doors lockable and unlockable from inside, so you can build in peace.
        * Each room is separate from the map, meaning if someone is building something complex outside you won't see a performance drop.
        * Next to train track network.
        * Four separate rooms available.
    
    Games room
    
        * Two Bowling Alleys.

    Train aligner
    
        * Allows you to easily place trains on the track.
        * Works for almost all trains, although it is specifically designed for long trains, which are hard to get back on track.
        * The further back on the train aligner you go, the easier it is to put the train on the track.
    
    Train build room
    
        * Contains custom Sliders (Two types) for trains (More stable than wheels, allows more speed). Also make sure that the sliders are super iced in the physical properties.

    My server provided more to do, your's was just another FG server....

    But anyway it's not my choice in the end what gametype/map you choose is up to the leaders/you.
     
  6. Re: Gmod server: RP, sandbox or Zombie survival?

    Botmap is a really cool map, I played it on geit's server today. It's very large and you can do a lot of things on it, for example building trains, playing basketball or drive races. :-)
