Davebrown Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I am the owner and head admin of Garrys Mod Roleplay Community - http://www.taconbanana.com We're the largest and longest standing Serious Roleplay community based around the Half Life 2 Scenario, we run 5-6 servers and have a playerbase of around 2500 people, carrying around 80 active users on average at any one time. I come to the mapping forum with a job we havn't been planning for some time now. We are prepared to pay for a high-quality Roleplay map, with pre-production and custom textures already completed. Our project is a Combine-Controlled City based on Tokyo, known as "City 8", inspired by several custom models by JBarnes. We have already prepared textures, custom skins for every division of the Combine military and metropolice, plus also the Resistance and citizens. We are looking to totally overhaul the Half Life 2 City 17 image to a Japanese concept. Due to certain issues, our previous mappers have not been able to meet deadlines, so we decided to go public and make this a contract-style offer to anyone available. Anyone who wishes to take the offer will need to have the following attributes - 1# An In-depth knowledge of Half Life 2 storyline and canon. We provide serious Roleplay in which the games backstory and themes can be explored in-depth, and it requires a setting that inspires such gameplay. 2# An understanding of how Garrysmod Roleplay maps work, both thereotically and in practice on the servers. If you havnt seen our Roleplay, we can bring you on the servers, show you around, and show you exactly what we need in terms of design and function. 3# Be able to work to a (reasonable) deadline. We have been waiting for people over the last 2 months and nothing has been done, thus bringing a halt to our storyline schedule and what we have planned. 4# Have an eye for layout and scene-setting. Roleplay maps in garrysmod are like film sets or stages. They provide the backdrop for a scenario, which people draw inspiration from. However, it must be laid out well to keep the flow, instead of letting RP stagnate in one part of the map. Obviously im open to discussion, we just want this map done ASAP, and we are deadly serious about it. This is NOT a job which will crumble in a few months time due to a failing community or project. It is live, current, and waiting for someone decent to come in and take the offer. Payment is optional, we have had many people say they will do it for free, yet nothing gets done. We do have money, and we will pay if needs be. Im open to suggestion on this front. My main concern is getting a quality map, not how we get there. The main bonus for you, the mapper, is that you get to see your map being used day-in, day-out by hundreds of people, not just in our community, but by others who will no-doubt want to use it too. In my eyes, a great way to get yourself noticed. Garrysmod Roleplay has very few decent maps, and it is about time we changed that. Ill post some design pictures, and some examples of the kind of Roleplay we provide in our servers. If you need any example source material, the most current map we have been using is rp_city18 which can be found here - http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=30316 Example screenshots from our online servers - (Please note that all models etc are real people, no NPCs. Even the vortigaunts are played by real people ) Citizens line up for rations - A division of Metropolice being inspected by their commander - Civil Protection forming a riot line during an uprising - A group photo for a resistance party in the outlands - Smuggling refugees to camp designated NLO - Vortigaunts ressurecting a falled fighter - Examples of City 8 themed textures completed -

The Horse Strangler Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 the group photo is cool and i like the airboat riding and the textures but i´ve never heard about garrys mod roleplay Because People take Garry's mod Role play serious to the max, hence it's mega gay sometimes.
Fearian Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I dunno, I wouldnt mind trying it before I knock it, but It doesn't seem like somethign I can just join and play, I have no clue what the hell I'm doing.
LittleMcJones Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 I've given up on TnB... mainly because I had been putting endless hours in trying to get something to happen for about 4 months (A huge waste of time.) but whenever I actually got my hands on a weapon or I ALMOST got into the outlands with a resistance member the server eitehr crashed or restarted... But that looks like it would be alot of fun... Maybe I would have kept playing if someone really got Joey Maddon back I'm not sure why no one did but ya its too much for me
