I know I know, before you immediately shut this down please consider. You've said it causes lag, and while I do agree with that, I definitely think that we can work around that. I often find the adv dupe tool essential for RP servers. First, I will be explaining how this will benefit the server, then I will explain how we can possibly work around the cons. The advanced dupe tool allows for players to basically copy anything they built and distribute it easily. This makes base building ten times easier, as you can now copy an already colored or modified prop and neatly attach them, rather than rebuilding the entire prop. This also allows for bases to be duped and saved. Let me tell you why that is a good thing, If a player doesn't have to constantly rebuild their base they will be more inclined to play. Imagine this, the server crashes or the player crashes. They spent hours on their base and now they just lost it, they probably wont want to come back for a while. However, if you have adv dupe you can just create it quickly, with minor losses such as entities. I think this would greatly benefit the progression of the server. Now we will explain the cons and how to work around it. Personally I haven't experienced any lag with the adv dupe tool and I don't think it causes any unless one is spamming or duping a large entity. As a matter of fact if you have prop spam plugins then the adv dupe tool will ghost itself for dupes and it will also stop prop spam. You can always restrict the tool for prop spammers. I don't see why this is such a problem as basically every server has this and I don't think they lag for that reason. Might I tell you one last thing, the adv duplicator requires you to build the props first. Its not like you can just spawn in a random base or machine someone made. I think we should allow the adv dupe 2 tool. Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=163806212 (Forgive me if it doesn't work) Thanks for considering. -Frogga
While you make excellent points, it still does not change the fact that there are more spammers than people who save. While the server crashing aspect is a pain in the royal ass, one of the major things about spawning in the massive amount of stuff is that it still can lag the server. We cannot use the antiapi mod for prop ghosting cause it does not function well with vehicles on the server. I just think that even if the work is lost, it can be replace. Having the dupe system can encourage more afk players in my eyes because they can rebuild everything and just sit there and attempt to grind. Not all are like that, but some are. Its a touchy subject for me, The cons outweigh the pros in my opinion, cause spam is no fun and my pc ain't the best. I gots to enjoy myself too you know. Maybe one day, but not today I am afraid. I apologize for the denial.
