    Thoughts on Perpheads right now

    I don't think this is a terrible idea in all honesty but it would take a lot of planning and a lot of new things to be made before it would be practical to introduce, which then means we're sitting on made things rather than trying to get them into player's hands as fast as possible. So it's...

    Thoughts on Perpheads right now

    There is farming, just all the corn seems to have died in the field and now it's just stuck there for some reason :wacky: But yea I have a lot of ideas for jobs and some other legal stuff. As I said though, more jobs is a double edged sword as it means less people doing illegal things. Which...

    Thoughts on Perpheads right now

    Ironically removing guns or any other thing that can harm players would dramatically help with how people RP with each other to some degree. Of course this is not practical nor would it truly benefit the server. As much as I hate to say the gamemode is glorified "cops vs robbers" it certainly...

    Thoughts on Perpheads right now

    I'm going to hop in here late to this whole thread but I'd like this discussion to continue even if a lot of points are recycled. Unfortunately we really cannot control how people RP or the quality of that RP without being insanely overbearing which I think no one wants any more than they may...

    Server Suggestion Make Gas Pumps Not Take Cash

    Yes but also no. Sure fuel pumps generally do not take cash as a form of payment... in real life you are able to go make a cash payment to the person within the convenience store or other booth attached, which then allows you to fill your vehicle to the set amount that you paid. Since that...

    Update Log 09/04/2026 - Phone Updates and QoL Improvements

    I'm just going to respond to this by saying that headlights are still fully optional. They turn on automatically so civilians, police, or anyone else are less likely to mistakenly have them off at night. However, the choice is still there to turn them off so why would it be pointless? In an...

    Model Suggestion better drift for certain cars

    Completed. Along with the BMW M5 (both civilian and police versions). If there are any other vehicles that turn the wrong way when handbraking or they seem like they are sliding too much or too little, leave me a message.

    Update Log 09/02/2026 - Paralake V6.2 + More!

    It means when the car bomb explodes you'll be able to see the explosion in the far distance.

    Update Log 09/02/2026 - Paralake V6.2 + More!

    I mean if you see a black cloud in the distance, that's a pretty good indication that's where it was. Along with the sound being semi-directional (as good as Source/GMod seems to be about that).

    Paralake V6 Development Archive

    I'll just add onto this by saying a few other things that were cut (though some may come back in some fashion) but not mentioned were things like maybe having a sort of art gallery/museum within the City Hall showing off different things from past Paralake versions that no longer exist or...

    Model Suggestion Change the fuel pump models

    Fun fact. I have already made a replacement model just over a week ago. However, they probably won't be in effect until Paralake V6. So I will put this thread in Completed but don't expect to really see it for a bit yet.

    Make the chrome paint job actually chrome

    It certainly doesn't help with having reflections. Most world issues with overly shiny things is now fixed, so mat_specular isn't as needed imo.

    Make the chrome paint job actually chrome

    Just going to note a few things on this... First off, using your flashlight is the absolute worst for seeing any sort of reflections with how badly Source handles lighting or environment maps as it seems to destroy them badly. Secondly, you must have some other settings turned off within your...

    SERVER ECONOMY (DISCUSSION)

    That's more up to Dom than myself, as he's community manager, community concerns and such should be brought to him, then if warranted brought to senior staff. However, I will reply on my profile page if simple enough.

    SERVER ECONOMY (DISCUSSION)

    Of course, which is why I even floated the idea of nerfing the yield in my post originally. Though as I said, no guarantees. It's yet to be made in full, so I wouldn't judge it before anything is finalized. Yes I know it means people need to be more vigilant within their residence, but the...
