I wonder how the people I used to play with are doing nowadays. I logged on a ze server some time around 2018 after years of not playing and they were still there, lol. Probably not going to see those people ever again.

Hell yes >>719854236
HOLY SHIT
I spent so much time there just entertaining myself for hours on end. I doubt I could even do that these days.

same, I basically skipped all of highscool to play garrysmod
>>719855027 >skipped high school
Yeah, that reminds me I missed like 90 days of my senior year just to play zombie escape, lol. Having a great GPA saved me.

before the explosion of griefing videos on youtube ttt was pretty great. still had to deal with fagmins but at least every server wasn't full of screeching 12 year olds and the only map was ttt_minecraft 24/7.
Sometimes I would just spawn NPCs in maps that automatically spawned zombies, go undetectable and just watch how long they could survive before being overwhelmed.
Obviously important HL2 NPCs like Alyx or Barney are significantly hardier and with high tier weaponry are basically immortal.
How active is the source community today? I kinda feel like nostalgia tripping through some old maps. Also, are the old source games vulnerable to hackers loading malware on your system and shit like the old cod games are?
If anyone remembers the amxmodx biohazard mod (not zombie plague) for 1.6, does it work with bots?
Thinking of spinning up a server to experience the dark maps for a couple of minutes again.

Surely you can still make a server of your own?
I admit I'm a bit of touch since 2011, but surely basic Source capabilities must be available, right?

It is, redsun.tf has an updated version in rotation (althought it's on a gamemode madness server and one of the rarer modes so you'll have to sit through dogwater ones like deathrun when waiting for it)
>summer 2015 >playing on shitty office PC with integrated nvidia graphics >64/64 slot GFL ZE server on mako reactor >extreme 2 difficulty >bit-crushed pendulum song blasting at full volume >spraying my M249 into zombies at 10-20FPS because of my garbage setup
God I want to go back so fucking badly or even way before in 2010 or 2011 when it was supposedly the peak of ZE. Nowadays it's just a bunch of brown europoors shitting up every map because they practice the lasers and timing offline and tryhard the fuck out of it

I don't remember if Hellsgamers had a ZE server, I know I frequented one from 2010-2013 where everyone spoke english and was social, ZE aside, I absolutely spent days of my life on HG's minigames server
>reinstall for the fun of it >go play a ze map >people still out of position >nobody listening or doing any teamplay >everybody still either losing by default or winning by blind luck
>I'm an avid gmod RPer >suddenly realized that I'm literally doing chores in a fucking videogame to get virtual medals that mean absolutley nothing >and making "friends" who would never follow up on me if I left the server >decide to look up random minigame servers on gmod >Homigrad is only for russian servers >TTT are only german or french servers >every other gamemode that isn't RP is either dead or with 4 people in a single server
That's very grim

I'm europoor and afaik there are no european servers. So either I play on american servers with 5 billion ping at 4 am or have to listen to the sounds of blyat and neither option seems intresting I just want ragdoll shenanigans and getting RDM'd at the start of the round by english speaking people
>>719850450 (OP) >Some annoying 12 year old makes a good barricade underground >Spends the whole round calling everyone faggots over the mic while we zombies try to get in >Next round starts >I go straight to that room and shoot all the furniture out of the room so he can't make the barricade >He screams into the mic at me for a good two minutes
No idea if I got banned or not, but it was well worth it regardless
>no more anime skins >no more micspam >no more porn sprays >no more wacky maps >no more func_vehicle >no more regular bros
why are we still here?
just to suffer?
the worst part of all of this is vscript and hammer++ has made mapmaking easier than ever and you can do all sorts of crazy stuff now without sourcemod but it doesn't matter because community servers are fucking dead.
