All,

I am trying to get an idea of what players would want as benefits for donation to the OS servers. Reply to this thread and let me know what you would like to have restricted for donor benefits that common players don't have and what shouldn't be given to non-admins as it could get abused.

List of ideas:

1.VIP reserved slots

2.Thirdperson

3.Colored chat

4.Reduced RTD cooldown

5.Able to put paint/effects on hats/misc without the item(I have seen it on other servers)

6.(VIP) next to name

7.If there is an updated map there should be a VIP room (what we do in it is to be found out later)

8.+jetpack -jetpack

9.Console comand to chat between VIPs only (console code example: sm_vchat)

More ideas to come later, will update when more come up these were just the basic ideas

I was talking with Boxes and me and him were talking about VIP. He mentioned aomething about how it would be cool if VIP could spawn weapons from any class for them. I don't know if that is possible but i wanted to pass it on to you

Thanks for the ideas so far.

I am gonna try to work with another admin tonight on more details and what plugins we need to set this up. We plan to use a plugin that already has an admin menu, but as I understand it, we will have to add some code to other plugins and recompile them in order for things to work smoother for the donators/VIPs.

Keep the ideas coming. We will probably not implement all of them, but it looks like a lot of them will be worked in.

In previous servers, VIP were able to:

1. Color their model

2. Add stream of light (able to chose color)

3. Able to add particle effects on any hat

Not sure about the jetpack...Remeber how that use to be

In replay to Cogs those perks do sound very cool and a better word for stream of light is a trail with choosable trails. On Garry's mod servers i see trails like the LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL trails and plasma trails. And about jetpack only some people would buy VIP and they arent imune to all rules

To add I agree with what most of what Cogs says

This just came to me a little bit ago but it would be cool if there was a shop for the VIP donators. What could be in the shop is that there are paints (for OS server visability only), effects, trails, and possibly taunts The system would work by for each kill a VIP gets they get 1 point (doesn't matter if the person was idle or notand if it was a bot in MvM).

The prices of items can be detirmined later but they shouldn't be very high since the donaters paid already (maybe like 50 points for a paint can). This system is a way to show VIP's that they need to actually get on the servers and work for some of their perks and it adds more intrest to becoming VIP. This may be a stupid idea because well they already paid but this is just ONE of the ideas I could think of

I was talking with Cogs and we said some items should be available to everyone like low tier effects (EX: nuts and bolts) but to get the cool stuff you need VIP. We also came up that there should be a 15 minute trial for VIP and all item purchased will be refunded after the trial
