Half Life 2: After Life Public Q&A

[hewrrra]

I'd really recommend you guys booting it up and having a glimpse. I was honestly astonished by how well things are thought-out there. Meanwhile it's not super RP focused (there's basically no S2RP, no RP of /me putting things into paper). Basically every aspect is scripted. While it does sound bad initially, it really plays so well. I really would like you guys to steal good ideas from them and implement it.



Please give it a go, honestly. I think you should check it out and harvest as many good ideas as possible. I really love how economy works there. To make it quick and simple (bit oversimplified). Workers make combine goods during workshift. They do it by cooperating and doing like 4-5 step process down the way, everything is scripted. So people need to bring boxes, unbox them on conveyor belt and put stuff into machine to produce the thing, then READY BOX needs to be delivered to PLACE X.

Without it being delivered there are no RATIONS, no MEDICAL ITEMS in UM, No stuff for CPs (idk how it exactly works there), also meanwhile Rebels can steal it and if they bring the box to special place, they get some cool items out of it.

I'm, so impresse. Plenty of cool features, like for example Zombie players being this OOC filter to guard the passage to 'rebel area' and 'high loot areas'. Also, have I mentioned there's not a SINGLE WHITE-LIST on the server? Everything you getting through in-game exams and certain 'Civic Points' thresholds. Same goes for crafting, no need for white-lists :)


I honestly recommend checking it out, getting some inspirations. I could be ranting here for whole night, but I really recommend checking it out.

sounds like every other gta voice server, having some script automation is always good cause it allows people to do things in the downtime like in an MMO, or to roleplay around those aforementioned scripts (rp in mmos is a good example), but having those systems implemented on a larger scale in a hl2rp server would require way too much work. i'd like to add that those systems should only exist in certain places, as to not take away from the roleplay aspect of the server (willard) or turn it into a grindfest

And this exact script of HL2RP sounds like every other Hl2RP server that ever failed, aside from few extra lore-settings changes, that might as well make it a HL2 like slop, that not really feels like HL2 anymore.

Personally I think that age of HL2 Serious 'RP' is over, taking same shit but from slightly different angle, won't really make it something else, or attention-worthy. 90-100 people in first week and then going down to 50-60, slowly dying out. But I guess to each their own. I personally don't see it.

they didn't fail, it's just that people have got older and moved on. of course, people have also lost interest due to the fact that every server or iteration is basically the same thing but reskinned, which this iteration is the opposite of. why try to shoehorn voice rp elements into a text rp server when you can just go play voice rp lol

Just stating now voice rp isn't gonna be a thing in After-Life. There's places for it but it's not within the vision.
