Godspeed to them. HL2RP isn't really that saturated any more, but there's still a lot of lackluster servers.

The gilded age of Garry's Mod roleplay is over. We're in the dark ages now. If someone wants to create a good HL2RP server, God bless them. They are few and far between, with Nebulous standing strong only because we have a good community with dedicated players and a competent staff. It's going to be an uphill battle for Cloud Sixteen but I wish them luck in their endeavor, and I'll probably stop by to check how it is.

Links?

This sounds surprising, thought they only cared about selling the framework nowadays. I believe they've got a good future for the server considering the people that'll probably be helping construct the server.

I don’t know if they have a thread in their forums talking about it but I saw it in their Discord server.

Cloud16 is quite irrelevant these days.

Especially after the forums was heavily purged and most of the 'core members' promptly left for elsewhere. Oversaturation of a genre already gone isn't going to help anyone.

not sure who nick is on c16 but he took the old SPFC that i used to replaced the old policy-enforcement guide for cops on lemonpunch, just fitted with the intention system instead of rank points

the SPFC itself was something i developed as a headcop on LP from the UPFC, which was muffinvibe's guide i co-authored with audendante, rapidjuice and some others

for comparison
c16's guide - created feb 15 2019
my guide (SPFC - for LP, post-policy-enforcement guide) -- created sep 25 2014
dev version of muffinvibe's guide (UPFC) - original created july 15 2014, i just reuploaded a non-editable version
i even used this same style to create an early airwatch guide for LP -- created nov 12 2014


i'm not really mad or out to get anybody over there or anything
just thought it was interesting how a guide from close to 5 years ago ended up on that graveyard of a community ages since it was originally conceived

all they need now is a creative commons license like this
f1147b8fd0.png

i'm sure that would probably make it a smidge more original

regardless, this is the worldwide web so people can do what they want with it -- the original cc "license" itself allowed people to do so anyway (not as if that thing is actually upholdable)

Hey guys, I'm the manager of C16, I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

When you say "they", I hope you only mean Kuro; none of "us" (us being everyone that isn't Kuro) are making money from this/care about making money from Clockwork. It's 2019, anyone who was ever going to buy Clockwork has, this server is just for the community to play and have fun on!

I came back to C16 to act as manager to help bring the forums back to life and prevent Kuro from wiping it completely. So far, the forums and Discord have been very active, and we have a lot of plans for the future with S&Box getting closer by the day. C16 might be irrelevant, but that's not really the point any more, I just want to make it a nice and active place again. I don't really care for it being the powerhouse it once was - I'm not deluded enough to believe I could ever restore it to that former glory, but I can definitely make it better than what it is now!

I had no idea about this, if you'd like I will remove the thread - I'm really sorry!

Christ, I knew I forgot a certain someone's name. Is there an estimated date for the server launch?

Around the end of next month, we're really taking our time with planning and everything so we nail all of the details and we can generate a bit of buzz before launching. I shouldn't really be talking about it here before I get super b& though ( ;

Looks half-assed, but on the bright side, a low player count will probably help them considering they're using clockwork.

how many people do you have committed to the 'project' though: just about everyone there left for [a certain community I can't mention directly without being zapped for going against the advertising rules], didn't they?

We haven't even gotten around to putting the rest of the forum boards up yet, but I assure you we're putting a lot of effort in to make this thing great.

Nah that certain community does have some C16 old timers on there but the vast majority of us just don't do roleplay anymore. I imagine the reason you probably think that is because most of that community consists of C16 rejects who were banned at some point in the last two years and went to go join the big "I hate C16" circlejerk, but make no mistake, hardly any of them were ever respected names on C16. There's still quite a few oldfags on here that are helping out, though, and we have a lot of veteran minds at the helm of this thing.

so pistol pete, zigbomb and almost all the former c16 staff team are rejects?

while I hope something genuine comes from this server attempt of yours, dismissing people who left because kuro decided to dose himself with a classic powertrip amidst a forum in crisis, isn't exactly the smartest move on your part. especially given what happened prior to your sudden appointment rendered c16 doomed to pretty much die without a solid, functional userbase - something it's not going to retain after the server either loses traction or the remaining c16'ers zone off elsewhere and the site stops generating traffic regardless of if cloudauth is taken offline or not.

hell, from the looks of it (given what I have browsed from your own posts) you're trying to jumpstart it with an edited copy of city16 that hasn't had it's faults taken out while adding 'living quarters' (re: erp dens) to factions that don't need it. at this stage, I genuinely can't tell if you're trying to make a SCG clone or not, given everything I'm seeing is a mirrored copy of what they were doing five years ago.

Admittedly though there is a lot of bad blood on both ends, and I'm sure you've seen it during your browsing.

Everyone's so wrapped up in an idealised version of what RP should be that anything that doesn't hit exacting standards gets lambasted and stomped into the dirt. I mean it is kinda ironic given C16 was doing it too even as far back as LP but the point still stands I suppose that there won't be much neutral ground on "hey, good luck" because that isn't the common courtesy given anymore unfortunately.

I think the point I kinda shrugged myself was when I unironically read people should feel embarrassed for playing on certain servers.

you clearly haven't been on C16 for very long if you think pistol P, outro, kief and zig are the only mods C16 has ever had.
i'm editing a version of city18, and you clearly didn't even view the rest of the thread where I put in the tunnels that make the map loop, the work factory, took out the catwalks, added an APC garage and CWU store and cleaned up the subway station. but sure, we're just making an ERP map so we can all go on there and ERP.

This seems to inadvertently be turning into an advertisement for the server.
