Interested in some old-fashioned Prop Hunt until Gmod 2 drops?

Denso — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 15:26:15 +0000

Hey guys!

We fucked up. Some things we planned did not work the way we wanted and we sadly had to abandon the plan we hyped you guys for last year. Sorry about that.

But it's hard to leave Gmod somehow. My current plan ist to build up the old-fashioned Prop Hunt as you remember, just in a more solid way and without massive amounts of addons. Just more taunts and small things which make the gameplay smoother and more enjoyable, like prop rotation, some sort of motivation system so you come again, etc. - And I won't be spamming announcements until it's finished to make false promises again. Promise. :D

The problems we faced before occured because we thought too big. Fixing bugs resulted in new bugs, things weren't compatible, the addon creators had a lack of communication and we lost interest at some point.

Are you interested? It would be really nice to meet some of you again with some sort of nostalgia. :)

If you don't know already, some sort of Gmod 2 has been announced. It's name is S&box, it's created by Garry Newman and his team and the game is in a very early stage, but the things they said already are really making me look forward to it. Like loading the whole Steam Workshop and assets from almost any game into it might be possible since it's written in #C and uses Unreal Engine 4.

Anyway, hope you guys are still alive and would be down for another Prop Hunt adventure.

RGR Prop Hunt - Open Beta!

Denso — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:24:00 +0000

Hey people!

Our Prop Hunt Server is getting somewhat stable to be playable without major bugs - and that's where you come in.

We want you to invite your friends and to come test our newly done Prop Hunt.

BETA aspects:

Everything in the Point Shop is available. Choose whatever you like to help us testing.
If you ever encounter any bugs, please report them to an admin (Hochadel, Denso, mr.ederly).
There's lack of motivational things like highscores, etc. - this will be implemented in the final release.
Server may have random downtimes when we decide to work on it.
You may lose all your items and points when our full version launches!

That being said, I will try to finalize some things to make a launch this Friday evening!

I will create a group-event so all of you get a notification when the Beta goes live. If I can't do it this Friday evening for some technical reason, I'll open it up next week's Friday evening. Maybe even earlier.

The IP will be available on the group profile and event-description when we go live.

For controls, rules, links for gmod-textures and if you wanna read what we changed from the original Prop Hunt, check this out:

Status Update 1

Denso — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 13:44:14 +0000

Hi! :)

We're busy. In a good way. The server is growing - slowly, but stable. That's what's inside/fixed so far:

- Over 400 taunts.

- About 60-70 maps, each one tested for fairness.

- No more stucking inside each other. Props can walk through hunters as long as they are blind. As soon as they are unblinded the collisions are toggled. Props can't collide before they didn't transform into another prop. That means, spawning inside each other is finally no more a problem! :)

- New custom starter Hunter-Models and Prop-Models.

- Many, many ranks to achieve.

- A database which will save player-stats cross-server-synced. Buy a weapon in Prop Hunt, use it in TTT later on.

- We will provide direct download links or workshop collections for missing content, so say goodbye to missing textures!

- The pointshop in general is currently very unstable. We may need to change our database to another one since there's buggy stuff going on. It's our biggest problem right now. As soon as it works perfectly we're able to focus on things which can be done much faster.

The complete list with everything you may need to know can be seen here (it's not final):

Missing GMOD Prop Hunt? Good News!

Denso — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:12:31 +0000

Hi, people!

It's been a long, long time. And I'm very sorry for not being able to hold my promises. It's been some time and we didn't get the support we needed for our addons and server files to run all together smoothly without bugs, so it broke down.

But now, we do have our own server-space. And that means: No more monthly costs for us! We can take time if we need any and have a bigger control of things and we can use as many slots as we want or need for our servers.

We have a TeamSpeak Server. Databases. Everything we need.

So: Server work will be starting soon again. From scratch. AGAIN. But this time for real. And I'm amazed by your patience (or laziness): You're still 277 people in here. How?! :D

Well, thanks for your patience and I hope you'll give us a visit when we're finished. I'll make an accouncement! :)

BTW: I'll be streaming on Twitch while playing on the server, so... behave. ;)

Peace,

~ Denso

RandomGaming Reloaded! (Prop Hunt) - Huge Announcement!

Denso — Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:49:36 +0000

(Für die Deutschen steht ganz unten was. ;))

Hi!

(THE FOLLOWING FEATURES AND PLANS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE INGAME AT ALL! IT DEPENDS ON THE COMPATIBILITY!)

It's been some time. Sorry for this long break. And thank you for still being over 300 people in this group! :)

We have a HUGE announcement. Our Prop Hunt server ist built up from scratch again and the results are amazing.

Main new features so far:

Achievements with rewards
A new pointshop. This will get an extra paragraph since it's f*cking amazing. :D
Points for kills and other actions
Optimized taunts which get updated regulary
New Player Models
Daily rewards
And much, much more what we're actually working on!

The new Pointshop:

The new pointshop is mind-blowing. We'll be able to take any Prop from the Half-Life game and make it bigger, smaller, colorful and attach it anywhere on your body.

There will be masks and more stuff.

There will be boosters which will give you any advantages over a period of time.

There will be new weapons and customized loadouts. Even creating YOUR OWN weapons will be possible.

There will be a crate drop system. Earn crates which are common, rare, extremely rare, donator crates, secret crates, crates for achievements and more. The key to open them will be droppable too. With those crates you can get very unique items and other rewards! You can also sell them to other players for points, which means: Trading systems!

There will be achievements which reward you with models, accessoires, points, premium points and more.

There will be a gambling system! You can spend points to earn even more points and other items. It will be fairly balanced!

There will be an Advent Calendar. Yearly new rewards in every door, everything animated. Could be points or items or even else. ;)

There will be a trading system! Invite other players, chat with them in a private chat while doing so and offer your items as the other player does. Set yourself ready and there goes the trade!

There will be a jetpack for hunters. Use it to fly high, spot props faster or reach high spots easier.

There will be pets! (More information in the further future since it's not released yet).

And all of that will be cross-serverized! That means, buy something on our Prop Hunt server and you will keep the items and points on the TTT server (when we open one someday)!

I'm sure I forgot a few things, but this is just so much, I can't even handle it by myself. xD We're looking forward to release everything in January 2016, preferrably on the 1st if it's possible! Maybe earlier, maybe later. Of course there will be a big announcement and invitation again.

If anyone's interested, I'm streaming some basic server development stuff on my Twitch channel (scroll to the bottom for the link). It's german though. ;)

Thank you for reading this, I hope you're as excited as we are!

Hi zusammen! :)

Nein, ich werde das Ganze da oben jetzt nicht nochmal auf Deutsch schreiben und hoffe auf gute Englischkenntnisse eurerseits. xD Wollte nur sagen, dass ihr bei den Serverarbeiten gerne zuschauen könnt. Ich streame nämlich diesen Abend auf Twitch. :)

Also, man sieht sich evtl. dort!

Working on something big! (Prop Hunt)

Denso — Sun, 07 Jun 2015 18:01:23 +0000

Hi guys!

We're not dead. We had a long break and since last week we're getting more and more active again.

Big things are going to happen in a few weeks. Game-changing and motivation-improving things. I'm sure you will love it, even if all your points and inventories will be gone. But every group-member who joins the server while I'm online will get some points back, no worries. Just talk to me. There will be tons of ways to spend them again. ;)

We're currently waiting for an update of a script we bought. As soon as it's there we'll get to work.

Just wanted to show that we're still alive and ready to blow your minds soon. I'll do another announcement when everything's ready. Btw.: I've added about 100 new taunts, so if you're interested, feel free to join anytime. :D

Happy New Year!!! We reached 200!

Denso — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 22:38:39 +0000

It's 11:35 PM here, but I don't care because you guys are international. :)

Happy new year to all of you! It was a good year, we founded this group, got a lot of members, expanded and built up a pretty good server, still in it's beta. We hope that you guys will stay with us on our way to make GMOD a better experience for all of us!

Let's realize our dreams in 2015!

Information! (and some cookies)

Denso — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:59:00 +0000

*throws cookies at you* Okay, that'll raise your attention. ;)

We are progressing quite... well, if I can say good or bad is influenced by the perspective you look at it.

--------------------------------------
Firstly the bad news:

We are screwing with MySQL and are failing hard. At least mr.ederly does. Better said: MySQL is trolling him. :D Nvm, we'll doing our best to make this work, maybe this week. I'll keep you updated as soon as it works.

For the ones who don't know what this is all about: We're aiming to create a database for our point shop and other internal addons. That means, we'll be able to give the server some little brothers and sisters, maybe with other gamemodes, but with a synced amount of points and inventory of every player and other awesome stuff. It will also give us the option to implement another new point shop, but it's a really amazing one! I'll have to keep this secret by myself until it works, if it ever does. :P

--------------------------------------
The good news:

I'm doing pretty good with my mapping skills. After 2 days of hard work I created a map in which I tested some new stuff I learned and it works better than expected! But I do have some other plans for this. ;) I'm sure I will be an acceptable mapper in some time and release lots of new maps of higher quality! Our aim is to add more and more selfmade content to the server while removing the worst "old" things. We'll see how this works out.

--------------------------------------
SPAWN-BUGS... They are annoying and they suck, but that's also a thing about mapping. I should be able to set new spawn points, both teams separated from each other. Finally we can fix this in the very near future.

--------------------------------------
You can help us testing!

If the server is password protected, we're testing something. Content, connections, anything else, I have no idea, but the password to connect is

"rggmod"

Expect lots and lots of server restarts. That's how testing works. ;) If you want clean, mostly bug-free gameplay, only join if there's no password on the server - what should be in 99 % of time.

As soon as something changed, I'll post another update! No worries, I'll keep it shorter than this one. ^^

Learning some mapping!

Denso — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:27:47 +0000

Hey guys, I made the decision to do some Source-Mapping. I think it's so cool to create our own maps and "worlds" you can plan in. I'm excited to get my first map done, even if it's just a simple one and put it on the server. My goal is to add more and more maps over time. If I manage to be a pro in mapping, maybe the server will only have selfmade maps, which I can expand in any kind of your wishes.

I hope you're still having fun with Prop Hunt!

~Denso, RandomGaming

Sorry for the offtime! Going online again, soon, we're working hard!

Denso — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:10:26 +0000

Our offtime this week had a good reason. We tried to improve and fix minor stuff and bugs an had some more, some less success. We're on it right now to switch some things over to MySQL, which would also be an improvement.

The only major things left to do are the website, the flashlight-bug and the trolling MySQL which makes ederly rage around right now. ._. We'll try our best to fix this somehow.

I'm also adding around 40 new taunts, 11 hunter taunts included. ;)

Thanks for being patient and such an awesome community!

Stay random! <3
