Hello everyone,

I was on samp for years and just recently decides to check out vcmp. To be honest vcmp has some great features samp doesn't have and lacks some features too, like dialogs etc... But either way i started scripting a new vcmp gamemode some days ago, maybe like 10% done till now. Anyways, i want to know is it worth it continuing my gamemode or not?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

You can implement your own dialog using a GUIWindow, some GUILabels and a GUIButton.

No it is not worth it. Don't make a server in which you invest alot of time and hard work, yes sure make it just because you want to code in your free time and for your own entertainment but don't code it thinking you will have players, because you won't. VCMP is just ruled by a bunch of DM servers which have their "legacy" and "stats" for which everyone runs at.

VCMP players do not tend to play on servers with modern and special features.

Like I said, its not to there to dishearten you or something, just saying something you should be aware of and not get surprised later on, good luck!

That's one of the reason why I stopped scripting VCMP servers. I really hope these DM servers will die.

You never know, but I say it worths a try.

Thanks for the feedback again, appreciated.

Well i don't know what to say, no one would want to open up a server knowing that he won't have much of a playerbase, or no playerbase at all, let alone keeping it up. My idea was to develop a gamemode similiar to a samp server i've been playing on for years, and run the server under their name. With VC-MP lacking of playerbase in general, im a bit worried on finding the perfect staff, as no one would want to start fresh nowadays on
 new servers. I will keep in mind when launching that i'll have a heart attack when i see the server playerbase on 0/50, haha.

Thanks to all who wished me luck with my project, i wish you all the same with your servers. I guess i'll just take the development easy and not invest to much time on it.
