HL2RP Good Idea Bad Idea: HL2 RP edition

If you ever seen the cartoon Good Idea Bad Idea you'll know what this is.
Good idea: Having TS2 and MPF V5 models.
Bad idea: Having TnB Megapack models that are completely free.

Good idea: Using plug-ins and other methods to improve the default weapons. (S2M plug-in, realistic damage plug-in, editing weapons)
Bad idea: Using M9K.

Good idea: Having 0 to 3 / 4 divisions for CPs.
Bad idea: Having 7 divisions, and having multiple names for every single one of them.

Good idea: Having up to 10 staff members. (up to five OPs, three admins, two super admins, and one owner)
Bad idea: Having five owners. (one co-owner is fine)

Good idea: Naming your community something simple and easy to remember. (You can have roleplay or gaming after the name if you want, it's not needed at all, and I only recommend having the gaming one if you have additional stuff like DarkRP and TTT servers)
Bad idea: Calling you're server black furry RP (real)

Post more if you can think up of more examples

 

Good idea: Let people erp but only if they aren't caught by cp
Bad Idea: 24/7 erping rebels

Good idea: Let people enter the rebellion
Bad idea: Have your playerbase be 90% Rebels, 9% Cps and 1% CA

 

ERP should be strictly F2B / Steam chat

 

Good idea: Disallowing ERP.
Bad idea: ban someone because they were disgusted when they jumped into a room and saw you ERP.

 

Everything you said here is a bad idea. Especially MetroPoliceForce Version 5. Just my opinion but they are absolutely the worse and completely unnecessary, I have yet to see a server that uses default citizen models as well as default Metropolice models.

Good idea: Giving new citizen players SOMETHING TO FUCKING DO WHEN THEY JOIN INSTEAD of admins just staying in observer or on their SeC character not doing a damn thing, I mean atleast fucking set up a trainstation checkpoint for the citizens that they gotta get registered through.

Bad idea: Having high command civil protection (DvL, SeC) patrol, outside the nexus.

 

TS2 isn't bad, and MPF V5 looks good.

 

I said it was my opinion. You shall not declare there's nothing wrong with MPFv5, sire. Disgusting peasant.

It's not cool seeing Tron-Textured CPs walking around patrolling.

 

I think MPF V5 is alright as long as you use the right models, and don't have loads of CP's walking around with the badass model.

 

Good idea: Make stamina have a use besides the fist weapon that is often disabled from doing damage.
Bad idea: Disable running requiring stamina and keep the attribute that improves your stamina.

 

Good idea: Decorate your server with props

Bad idea: Have 100000000 props and buy a fucking castle with them just to lag your users

 

Good idea: Have a custom weapon pack for resistance and certain members of the MPF
Bad idea: Supply all the metro-police force with Deagles M441s and Frag Grenades.

 

The amount of administrators on a server depends on the server, lets take lemonpunch, they need loads of admins due to the hundreds of people that roleplay on there server, But if it had the same ratio of admins as other servers the whole playerbase would be admins.
I dunno how to end this, this is a useless post really ._.

 

I really agree, I was in a server where it's whole playerbase were admins.

 

Uh, you barely know me, kid. Calm down


Good idea: Let players have some big roles. (CA, City council, etc)
Bad idea: Throw a broken cremator in the faction list and use the removal tool as its immortalator, at the same time throwing the tag HalfLife2BETA / IC APPS / NEED ADMINS / NEW / INDUSTRIAL 17!!!

 

lemonpunch
seriously i cant play the server with the amount of props there are

Good Idea: a owner which doesn't make rules like = BUY OTA AND ADMIN ONLY FOR 20$!
Bad Idea: GIVE US 5$ FOR A ADMIN!

Good Idea: Allowing ERP as a role of roleplay and not spamming the console log's with detailed /me's (I seen people use fucking lubes)
Bad Idea: NO ERP RULE. then have admins erp and break the rules.

 

Believe me or not, I was in a server where they sold admin for $5 , a darkrp servers
everyone yelt at the owner spamming 'RentAMod'

 

"Donate to us for free super admin!" - Real bad.
