if it were me theres no point on doing like "one at a time" like doing one someone wants fixed only when asked, so many of the headmodels are in use, what if a high number of people request for theirs to be fixed all at the same time, why not just do everything at once

when i make custom headmodels, for male at least, i use male 09 as a base making sure the eye and nose level are even so at least glasses fit without distorting the face, hats are a different story seeing as thats when head shape and hair come into play. if we were to edit all models to be able to use a larger majority of glasses, hats and have necks fit suits, it would require us putting the model into blender, attaching it onto a skeleton with both glasses and hat bones, fixing eye level, fixing headshape to the best we can without distorting it, slim the neck down to fit similarly to male 09, add flex controllers to stop infinite eye rotation, and then compile everything too, not to mention if i were the one doing this then i'd also go and do the same for all female models. while the list seems short through text, the process is much more time consuming than you might think with the amount of headmodels there are accessible not including custom models. while yes, it could be possible to do, it brings the question of who currently in the modelling team would be willing to do it and has the time to do it all. take everything i say with a grain of salt im still new to modelling and im still learning, if im wrong about anything anzati can correct me

someone could go and fix it but like...

but then you have the thing of people are busy, located within different time zones and might also have last minute plans irl that they should be/are prioritising over gmod, it's a lot harder than you think to be able to set up dates and times with people across multiple time zones, one court case could have people participating from america, uk, and australia, a difference in time from uk to america EST/CST/PST is already +5hrs/+6hrs/+8hrs (ie 5PM EST = 10PM in the uk), the time difference alongside, school/jobs/literally anything you do irl makes it difficult to plan almost anything and makes it even more difficult the more parties are involved, giving people a time limit on top of the fact people are just living lives would cause people needing to be subbed out, possibility of court times being elongated due to people new to the case needing to be filled in on new information, mistrials due to miscommunication and probably at worse the case being dropped entirely (on the prosecution side), so as simple as the solution sounds, it's not as easy to execute when you look at all the variables

obviously some melee weapons are used a lot more commonly than others, and some have different ways on obtaining i.e shiv and lead pipes require things from rummaging around trashcans and going to different npcs in order to craft them, other than for rp reasons, going through all that effort seems a bit pointless for weapons that aren't particularly better than others that can be obtained through easier ways i.e going to hardware and just buying a baseball bat, so how about giving some melee weapons special attributes depending on what they actually are! for example: - blunt weapons being able to cause concussions i.e. lead pipes, baseball bats, spades - sharp weapons being able to cause bleeding faster than normal, i.e. kitchen knives and machetes - shivs being able to cause damage overtime due to something like a temporary infection, reason im saying this is because if you take a closer look at the shivs in game, that metal is 100% rusty and not clean depending on what the weapon is, the special effects would kick in faster or slower than other weapons of the same category, because obviously baseball bats are a common weapon used for first hiring new people as security guards, wouldn't be horribly nice being concussed 24/7 concussions could be a dazing screen overlay effect, hindering the player from being able to fight back properly, bleeding would just work the same as the current bleeding already in game and the infection would be similar to bleeding but either less or more damage. picture of the shiv for anyone who's never seen one in game before:

this is tame, you want some worse ideas for disposing a corpse?

was looking at the hardware trading npc and noticed the gasoline, would be cool if after a pk you could cremate it, brings the risk of attracting attention because of the fire but it'd also allow you to burn away evidence if successful. could add a way to put the fire out if police get to it before everything is fully burnt away too!

add a way to get onto chinatown rooftops

+1, they came to me about their ideas about dupes for different types of rp, business ideas and events, this would be a great addition to the server

+1 jimbo agrees with this!!!
