Criticisms[edit]

Things that ruin the game for everyone else.

The Gamemode Itself[edit]

A lot of people think DarkRP in Garry's Mod is stupid, boring and violent for RP. Previous versions of the Gamemode were poorly coded and as a result had several major issues until a recent revision of the code by it's current developer FPtje. Players also think that pre-determined jobs and scripted entities ruin creativity for role players.

Deathmatching[edit]

DarkRP tends to attract deathmatchers and ruin the gamemode, but there are measures that can be taken to keep the peace.

  • Raise gun prices or restrict them altogether.
  • Set server variables to automatically kick random deathmatchers.
  • Restrict prop spawning and/or the physics gun to prevent prop deathmatching. (as well as prop_surfing.)
  • Enable noob-protection in the Propprotection
  • Enable Spawn-protection through server commands
  • Make the server private
  • Have active and alert admins on the server
