Topic: "Pure Build" Servers...

This won't be some longass novel like most of my threads, and it has nothing to to with RPing.  Yep.  Read on without worry...

I'm just making this quick thread to recommend something new to server owners - why not try a new type of server I like to call "Pure Build"?

Pure Build servers simply are servers with loading disabled.  I'm sure Pure Build servers would attract a better demographic/psychographic of Sandbox player than regular build servers do.  Not only do they help veteran sandboxers express themselves with less risk of crashes and smacks, they help teach newer or load-addicts how to enjoy sandbox the way it was meant to be played.

I forget what I wanted to say now, but it had something to do with telling sandbox devs (aka anybody who likes to mod sandbox in any way, I don't mean Elxx and Bullace themselves) that they should begin focusing more on bringing new "server types" to sandbox.  I wouldn't mind launching up sandbox one day to see "Pure Build", "Zombie Attack!" "Tower Defence" "Life RP" servers all over the place.

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

No one is going to buy a server to let it run Sandbox without anything else on it, waste of money since you'll be having 0 players all the damn time.

I could setup one since I have a dedicated server doing pretty much nothing but I'm guessing you will be the only one playing on it (with some friends you take along with you).

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

its a good idea but you better can make a loadlimit of 50 of less. then people can load small things and there is no lag then.
If i play in our server i always put the loadlimit at 50 or 0. then players can ask me to load something.

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

Lol, the idea of Pure Build Servers are just to eliminate loading.  Everything else like addons and whatnot would be kept.

Actually it's up to the server owner, but that was just a little idea that hit me.

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

For a while i had my server on roleplay.

-_-

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

Yeah, I saw that server.

Not to be cruel, but just because the name says roleplay doesn't mean the server it's self will be RP right away.  Whenever I went in there it was just regular sandbox, and if I tried to get a true rp going it would be like.  Bleh, nobody listened and kept asking to be police or something.

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

Ando that actually doesn't sound bad, that actually might bring back what sandbox was suppose to be, building not loading something every 20 sec to just delete it and load something else. The only thing that would suck is if they wanted to build something big you know

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

oh lol i guess i forgot to finish my sentence, if they wanted to build something big and wanted to stop and work on it another time, they wouldnt be able to load it

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

And? We made big stuff in 0.3 and 0.4 all the damn time, we had no problem staying on the same map for 5 hours.

It's also what makes players better, building all the time instead of duplicating and loading makes you better.

Groups are cool and all but most players these days have absolutely no building skills imo.

Re: "Pure Build" Servers...

thats right, when i started with sandbox(0.5) I have build very much. I think in 0.5 there were more people who didnt know how to save and load. They have build with me much big things. It was very cool.

I know that very much people know how to save and load but they dont know how to build :S
