Excellent News For Global RP!

Today I purchased a 12 slot server located in Texas from Mammoth Games.

Also, I will be selling admin for $2 a month to help cover the cost of the server.

So, enjoy the server over this next month guys! (they don't come cheap) I'm not sure right now if i'm going to renew it once this month is over, we'll see how it goes.

New Version: 2.7b

This version fixes some bugs found mostly by Lucky To Shoot. Thanks again lucky!

The reason the turret was a little messed up is because the turret requires the weight stool to function properly. From now on this won't be added to advanced duplicator if the weight stool isn't loaded on the server (this also applies to all other grp ships (and grp ships to come)).

Global RP Server 2.7

Don't forget to download the newest Global RP Content package! (required for servers, the older packages WILL NOT WORK AS OF VERSION 2.7)

-----Version 2.7b----
[!] Fixed Garry's camera
[!] Fixed spawning of transformers
[!] Fixed a bug preventing transformer removal reimbursement
[!] Fixed bug: Timer Error: globalrp\gamemode\server/entdamagesystem.lua:176: attempt to index global 'ent' (a nil value)
[!] Fixed the GRP turret
[!] GRP ships with required addons will no longer be added to Advanced Duplicator if the addon is not loaded on the server
[!] Wire simple explosive is now restricted by default

Version 2.7 Finished!

I'm completely done with version 2.7 and its ready for testing. Only problem is that I don't have any testers, so I'm going to release this as is. I'll keep version 2.6 up incase there are any problems.

Progress Uncertain

I've finished the mod and sent it to Masada for testing, but theres just one problem. I've got it running flawlessly on my dedicated, listen, and singleplayer, but we just can't seem to get it working right on his server.

Maybe some of you would like to test it for us and verify that its working? Also, you'll need a new content package, the old one won't work anymore.

Default Menus Finished

Today I finished up the default menus, and while they aren't the prettiest thing i've ever made, they'll suffice.


Default Help Menu (F1)




Default Team Menu (F2)




Weapons Menu (formerly F4, F4 is now spawnpoint menu)




Default Scoreboard (Tab)






Also, Masada, our dedicated server host, pointed out to me that people were taking advantage of the system using stacker, so i'll be adding support for that to our system to prevent that.
