Official "Post your Gmod Crap" thread!

[ExAm]

Just finished this, and I'm going to bed.

PLEASE

STEP INTO MY OFFICE
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/stepintomyoffice.jpg

:v

Fully working suspension, and easily controllable with the numpad.
Hydraulic canopy, winch ramp at the back, with a second segment on a slider with another winch, which unspools at the same rate as the first, allowing the whole thing to extend and lower in unison. All hydraulics are activated with one button, and carefully timed so that the hydraulic that opens the front moves faster, getting the front glass up before its anchor is lifted up on the foremost wing.

EDIT: The back now has four extra seats, for your peeps to chill in.

[n00b1n8R]

:v

I should have got PHX triangles MUCH sooner O_o
also, noclip the 2 pieces of the back plate together so they can overlap inside each other instead of how you've got it now. how fast is it btw? that'd be a cool thing to upload to garrysmod.org tbh.

anyways, I'll post all my crap into this thread later, going back ingame :D

[ExAm]

how fast is it btw?Um, I set the torque on the wheels to 50,000, so it's fast. The wheels actually move too fast for my taste, actually. They wobble off the ground a bit, and if it goes too fast, like, 200mph, the parts that don't have nocollide for reasons you would understand if you built it start colliding with each other :v

Also, I haven't gone to bed yet. Why the hell?

[n00b1n8R]

use fucking no-colide multi :maddowns:

also, put a speedometer (http://www.garrysmod.com/wiki/?title=Working_Speedometer%21)on it :d

HAY GUYZ GMOD ADDICT INCOMING

anyways, these are always the list of addons I recommend to anyone just getting gmod:
Pheonix Model pack (otherwise known as PHX) (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=30329), Wire (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=26675), Hover board (:awesome:) (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29768), smartsnap (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29276), nocolide multi (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=27180), stargate. (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29340)

PHX is an extremely usefull modelpack if your building. it has all sorts of usefull props. Wire gives gmod a fuck load of new features and lets you do heaps. stargate is just fun (and several servers support it so why not get it), the hoverboard is awesome too (the servers I play on all support it, and it's fun to just play with in SP) and the rest are usefull building tools.

if you wanted to play spacebuild, I'd recomend you get this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=14058), this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=9191), and possibly this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=24916).

oh, and this is probably the best turorials site on the net. (http://www.trickystutorials.com/) if you want to find something cool to make, or find out how somebody did something (odds are they stole their invention from a tut here), then check this place out.

if you wanted to play spacebuild, I'd recomend you get this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=14058), this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=9191), and possibly this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=24916).

I added you on steam and xfail so if you need help, you know where to ask ;)

if your ever planning on playing online, or want to do some neat stuff, then you really need to atleast get wire and PHX.

[Dr Nick]

Don't forget the Stacker and weight tool. You can make awesome things with the stacker!

I'd post my stuff, but I don't have any pictures of it. I'll probably get some pics of stuff tomorrow after I reinstall.

[n00b1n8R]

fuck can't believe i forgot the stacker (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=23683):gonk:

also how did you get that steam tracker nick?

oh and the weight (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=19331)tool, but i'm not a fan of it.

[ExAm]

I use the weight tool all the time.

[n00b1n8R]

I hate what it does to my welds tbh.

[Dr Nick]

http://steamcard.com/

Also, try setting the weight before welding.

[StankBacon]

the best thing i ever made on gmod was a catapult..

Ahh dude some one needs to make a server and lets piss around in it.

Haven't used gmod for ages, just getting back into it thanks to exam.

Btw n00b, you need to set a steam ID. I.e. mines Beer-Me, not a ton of numbers.

Long post is looooong.

Ok, starting off, we have my idiotic hiding spot in prop hunt. AND NO HUNTARDS FOUND ME :S
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/cs_office0000.jpg

Then it's a game of guess the silhouette! (answer at the end of the post)
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_construct0003.jpg

And now we have the main attraction, WIP's of my new Enterprise class capitol ship. I'm hoping to use this as a way to show off my limited skills to the building faction at the trickys tutorials space build server, and hopefully join it and learn to fail less.
These are just pics of the bottom level (hanger bay). antlion guard for size reference.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20010.jpg

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20012.jpg

And there is labelled wire buttons to open and close the doors!
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20014.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20013.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20015.jpg
All up, 8 props not counting the wire buttons and indicators. The props I'm using are from the space build model pack, and are very light, so weight won't be an issue. This is just the bottom level. I'll probably have about 4 levels when I'm done (the top level will be my personal flight deck and will be able to detach from the main ship if the shit hits the fan).

Oh, and I was bored and made a ball out of 3 portal props :D

and scale reference between the 2 ships:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/sb_gooniverse0035.jpg

on the to do list (not in any order)
weld and no-collide everything to everything (gota find smart constraint..)
get the gravlift system working
get life support working
set up all the control rooms
get escape shuttle (the top level) detaching and autoflying.
set up teleporters to major locations (must make sure the co-ordinates don't get me teleporting into anything important such as the ground)
get some kind of defence system (probably some kind of automated turrets)
get it flying

so yeah, this should keep me busy for the next week atleast :D

[Limited]

Me and exam played in a server he made last night, would have taken some screenies but forgot to :( >_<

[TeeKup]

Thats an interesting fighter, however it looks like it should be a wee bit longer.

[n00b1n8R]

wait who's are you talking about?

my baby portal interceptor? tell that to the imperials :downs:

[Jay2645]

How'd you get it to fly? Do you have to rebuild it every time you make a new map, or did you save it somehow? And does it work using WSAD, or the numpad?
(Sorry, I'm a Gmod nublet)

1. By either using thrusters or something from life support.
2. He saved it by using a tool called Advanced Duplicator. Very useful.
3. That can be set by the thrusters as well.

Hoped to cleared some thoughts...:)

[~ZMT~Trace]

Hoverballs too.


Hoverballs suck. Use thrusters and Fins (http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=30333).

Also I'll post my tank as soon as I reinstall Gmod.

[ExAm]

I'm going to post my manned rocket (with parachute (and by that I mean balloon) action!) in a sec.

For now, though, a minigun for you:

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/gmodminigun.jpg (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/gmodminigun.jpg)

Yes, the barrels spin. Fast. The wheel that drives it is linked to the fire key for an invisible turret welded to the base, not the barrels, so that it doesn't rotate with them, but appears to be firing from the barrels instead. There's also a large muzzle flash emitter in the same location, as well as one for sparks. All of this stuff has a weight value of 1, except for the base and drive wheel, and has its gravity turned off. The gun below it is a cannon, with another invisible turret and some emitters, but it's less exciting than the minigun :v

For some reason, Advanced Duplicator likes to change the values on the turrets around and flip my emitters the other way. Why? I have no idea.

[Emmzee]

I'm good at ragdoll poses. Here's a few of mine:

Oh, Emmzee, you've got some competition in hunter slaying:

UukFomaKaiU

Here's some video of the guns alone:

m0xutF1dEwg

Here's my rocket. It has a seat, with some dynamite attached. This detonates the rocket, leaving only the seat and whoever is sitting in it. A balloon is attached to the seat to help it float slowly down, and is on a long string to prevent it from being 'sploded by the rocket blowing up. There's also a camera attached, so you can look back and determine the right height to detonate the rocket. You can also just keep the thrusters going and have the rocket blow up on impact. You'll live :v

f506c0BU3D0

The balloon konked me on the head at the end, taking off 10 HP :awesome:

I originally got the idea from wanting a simple device to quickly get me across the map if I died and had work in another spot. The original idea was to have the rocket blow up on impact, which you can still do.

Oh, and it's tagged as the "Strangelove-O-Matic 3000" :downs:

What I like to do it get the rotor blade wheel, weld it to the buggy, nocollide it and turn it on, then drive around into zombies, also I mount the small power-saw blade wheel to the front bumper and turn that on to take out any surviving halves or headcrabs. Simple yet highly entertaining. :awesome:

I havn't really touched RT cameras since the update, that would explain it.

protip exam: use normal cameras in all situations except those where you need to show something on a screen (and for rendering something if you were posing). RT cameras can be picked up by anyone, and interfere with others. try to avoid using them, to avoid pissing off others ;)

I had an epic portal grav-tank chasis ready for me to mount turrets on, but gmod crashed.

atleast I saved part of it..
will finish at next opportunity and post pics (portal flavored of course :awesome: )

[ExAm]

Question. How do I delete saved stuff?

[n00b1n8R]

as in saved through advanced duplicator? there's a folder manager button on the menu, or you can go into the actual dupe files with explorer. (can't remember the directory, I'll check once I've done my homework).

or if it's saved games, delete them from your saved games folder at garrysmod/garrysmod.

E: adv dupes are saved at garrysmod/garrysmod/data/adv_duplicator as .txt's

[Jay2645]

I made an awesome bathtub-mobile. Yeah, it's been done, but IT WAS MY FIRST ACTUALLY EPIC THING I MADE, K?
I gave it some wheels, non-flippability, a couple balloons (for awesomeness), thrusters (For turning and making it fly sorta), and a seat with a camera angle that DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY HELP SEEING WHATSOEVER! YAY!

Pix later.

Can't remember, but the Lambda Shuttle took like 5 hours to make at which point the server could have crashed at any moment. When it was finally time to fly it, the Shuttle imploded and spazzed and was unrecoverable. The Snowspeeder worked very well however. It's too bad the Shuttle failed it's test flight because I had working wings and a hatch in the back for people to come along with me.

How do I install this stuff, Noob?

[n00b1n8R]

both of those addons go into the addons folder which can be found by going to your steam folder, then to the folder with your user name, then garrysmod/garrysmod/addons

put it in there, and it should be good to go :D

I see some addons that don't go in the addons folder. Like some weapon sets. Where do I put those?

If they don't have the info.txt file, then just treat them like CS:S skins. copy models/materials/lua/etc. folders to the garrysmod/garrysmod folder.

[ExAm]

The only folder there was a "weapons" folder with more weapon folders that had lua files in them. I tried putting it in the lua folder, but, even though there are supposed to be original models on these, I'm still holding a giant "ERROR".

[MNC]

you don't need paypal to buy off steam, just a credit card (or in my case my parent's) :awesome:
Yes, and in my case, they don't want me to use their creditcard. That's why I'm making a paypal account as soon as my school assignment is completed. I've played a bit of Gmod before and it so so smexy.

don't die little thread D:

also, I'd like to mention that I'm planning on making atleast one trailer for gmod in the near future (I may make up to 3) focusing on aspects of the game (building, interacting, exploring, etc) set in an industrialized kind of setting (super cooperations developing and deploying technology's). if anybody is interested in getting their stuff in it or wants to help with ideas , then I'd be really happy to hear from you. :)

I'll probably start stuff for this (even if it's just special contraptions) over the easter 4day weekend and hopefully get at least one vid done by the end of the holidays (though I need to l2use Ulead videostudio :X).

Too bad I suck at contraptions. :smith:

Do you need a special tool to finger pose with TF2 ragdolls? My finger poser doesn't seem to want to play ball with them. :/

Also, contraptions are easy once you start to understand wire. :awesome:
I'll show you some shit on the weekend if your interested.

Will be at a gunshow over the weekend, with any luck I'll find myself a nice 91/30.

Also, I've heard mixed accounts on the TF2 ragdolls... some say they work fine, some say they can't fingerpose them at all. I've seen pictures with fingerposed TF2 ragdolls in the thread people were using to bitch about it, so I'm really not sure. I haven't actually made any TF2 poses so I wouldn't have a clue.

AHAHAH I remember that shit. Wasn't I trying to shrink the whole ragdoll and it ended up looking like fucking betty spaghetti or something?

[Dr Nick]

The fingerposer got fixed in one of the latest releases. Faceposer is massively twitchy, I guess Valve wanted more out of the characters.

[Dr Nick]

Double Post, etc. I know, this is my GMod contraptions.

First off, a car design that I did a while ago. It's huge, but I think it looks nice for a 10 minute job. It's not finished:
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/3835/gmmobenixv010001fj4.jpg

Next is an airboat transport truck I made earlier. It took me about 10-15 minutes to make, and I'm not sure if I want to add anything to it. It barely pulls the trailer up a 20deg plane:
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/356/gmmobenixv010006bu3.jpg
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/gmmobenixv010008wq8.jpg

This is how I designed the link. It's 2 PhX-Tri pieces Ballsocketed together. The rear piece is welded to most of the front of the trailer, while the front piece is welded only to the airboat(since it's the only thing to weld to on the front:
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4280/gmmobenixv010013jn3.jpg


Next is a hover-board that a friend showed me. It uses Wire generally, 6 thrusters(2-front, 2-rear, 1-each side), a wire Graphics Tablet(under Wire I/O) and an expression chip. Aside from that, it uses a board to put everything on, an Airboat seat and 4 hoverballs:

* The arrows were roped together.


And here's something I was just messing around with on a server and had a lot of fun with. It's a jeep, but a transport truck style. Plus, it has a follower-RT camera that I designed for a pretty 3rd person view:
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9195/gmmobenixv010033oz0.jpg
http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/4294/gmmobenixv010036ot0.jpg

The Follower-Cam is designed to revolve around the vehicle, for a nice third-person view. It's simple, and special. I rigid roped the front corners of the base to one point on the jeep, and the front of the camera to the same point, then made the base weigh 200, and gave it the ice phys property(super ice makes it spin too much).
It can watch you go over jumps from the side and it looks amazing!

[Dr Nick]

What pieces are those? Also, what did you use for ammo and can you make it reload itself?
Phx, a great addon for GMod. There's a lot of geometric shapes in it as well as wheels, explosives, etc.
There's also a new addon that works just as well as PhX called the Tiled Props Pack. You might want to check them both out.


Also how do you guys make cannons that shoot stuff D:

All I ever do is make huge bases then set up zombie spawn platforms everywhere or make retarded poses D:

Basically, all you need is a barrel, a base and a way to force the prop out.
I use a Wire forcer to push the prop, and a wire explosive with no dmg for the sound/effects.

Its suppose to be a tank but due to the fact i can't make tracks its more like a heavily armed APC thing. Not close to being done, the only thing that i have considered done is the turret. Rotates on thrusters for now. I am planning to make it turn on gears. The suspension is semi done its still to hard but because i haven't added armor i want to leave it as is.

And yes, i did try and make tracks and they failed miserably. I must have tried at least 15 times, changing physical properties, using ball and sockets, and rope. I can make them stay on, the problem is that they don't help the tank in anyway. In fact it slows it down a great amount and kill my FPS.
Meh.

Ready?

Setting up :

Spawn these props to begin with:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-05-32-15.png

Next set them up on a wall like so:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-30-17.png

Get your weld easy tool:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-04-57.png

Now click right in the middle of the the prop:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-39-67.png

Then bring it over to the regtangle thing and click about there and click twice, click once and it will allow you to turn the prop on a axis. Its why you throw them up aganist the wall so they are already straight. For the most part. Fiddle around with it you will get the idea.
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-07-03-62.png

Repete the the other side and you should have it looking like this. Both sqaure peices on opisite sides:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-07-30-15.png

Stacking, the hard part.

Get your stacker tool out and change the values to these:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-09-30-04.png

Now go on the on one of the sides, till you see the prop look like this. (Should be the right side if you are looking straight at it)
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-09-35-51.png

Click once and the prop will be frozen, not welded so don't unfreeze anything.

Now change the stacker properties to this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-11-45-45.png

And go on to the other side:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-11-47-26.png
Pull out your remover tool and remove the 2 square props you welded on earlier:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-08-35.png
It should look like this when you are done:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-22-98.pngDont unfreeze!


The wtf-where-is-that-rope-going part

Go to the rope tool and copy the setting. MAKE SURE RIDGID IS SELECTED.
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-43-87.png

Now click the outside corner and go to the otherside of the square phx prop and click at the coner for the back end. Click in this area for the corner towards the front:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/lol2.png

When you do this to both the front and rear it will look like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-14-47-14.png

Now you have to make a X going from the back corner to where i circled the red. Like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-15-07-48.png

Do the same thing to the top:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-16-02-76.png

And then to the other side and you should have something that looks like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-18-11-95.png

Just keep in mind you want the rope to have a |X|shape. The | | two ropes should go from one side the next, the X should go from one corner of the square phx prop to the rectangular corner at a angle so it makes a X shape when you do both sides.
Yeah...what did i just say? Make it look like this |X| Top and bottom. Both sides.



Placing your elastic shocks

Click your elastic tool and copy the settings:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-18-56-64.png

Click where that red dot is and go from that side to the other:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-22-39.png

It will come out like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-28-81.png

All it does is make sure they don't bend outwards only up and down, i think. Don't take my word on that. I have always done it, maybe try to do without it see what happens. >.> Continuing on....

Now edit the elastic settings to this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-50-32.png

And then go from the corner of the square prop to the top of the rectangle phx prop. So they make this shape | | no X
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-20-24-89.png

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-20-43-82.png

And do the same thing to the other side.


That took longer than what i wanted it to. Anyway that's a basic, not tuned suspension. Fool around with the settings on the elastics. That's independent suspension, i know there are other ways to make a suspension i just enjoy using this one the most.

If you are still having trouble or just don't understand whats going on drop me a message on steam.

Um, you know how you line them up on the wall to line them up? Why not just use shift+e to do the adjustments by 45 degrees. I need to make some more cool things. Or maybe I'll play prop hunt.

[FlyingStone]

Because my shift key was broke and because i like to do things the hard way.
:3

[ExAm]

lol, maybe i'll take you up on that. If I ever stop being mad at gmod for failing at addons.

[Con]

Why not just use shift+e to do the adjustments by 45 degrees.
what? you can do that? >_>

[Dr Nick]

Yes. In the older version, there was a command that you could use to change the snap angle to any degree, but now it seems to have been removed :(

[n00b1n8R]

what? you can do that? >_>
Don't feel embarased, it was like a month before I learnt that myself. :v:

I'll update the ATTN new players guide with some simple stuff like that next time I can be botherd.

[MNC]

Also, add that you can scroll with the W and S if you hold the Shift key. It's a more secure scroll. Honestly I'm too lazy to go to the other thread because my internet keeps bugging up 'cos of torrents downloading.

[Dr Nick]

Aside from scrolling, you can rotate the prop with A and D(I believe, you can do something with them).

[n00b1n8R]

Building a new ship.
The design is blatantly stolen from a ship I saw on garrysmod.org with a few minor personalisation's (to reduce props and my own aesthetics). This baby is just to get to grips with the new SBMP parts as well as try out some new building techniques I've heard good reports on. I'll post my results (hopefully with a video) when I'm done.

It's actually about the same size as my Enterprise class Mega-Freighter I made back in January (haven't really done much with it since then either :X), Though not nearly as bulky and IMO much better (I'll go back and re-do the Enterprise some other time and make use of the awesome new SBMP pieces that weren't around back then)

What do you use to make them fly?

[n00b1n8R]

Usually, I would weld everything to everything, throw on copious amounts of hoverballs (but not more than 10 because of most server's restrictions), a few max power'd thrusters and that would do me. The issue with that is sometimes it fucks around (spazz's out even when their all no-colided) and is really slow.

On this one, I'll get one prop that will be my master block (probably a cube), set it's weight to a fuck load, weld everything to that block only and as I understand it, that will make the whole ship more stable (welds are weird in garrysmod). Then I apply all my thrusters and hoverballs to it (and I increase the weight of the thrusters, because I understand that actually makes them exert more force), make gravity not effect it (so it's not too heavy for my hoverballs to hold) and that should work. Fingers crossed. :X

I am now in love with advanced pod controllers :3

It has 5 FFAR pods on top, jump jets, and boosters (which also help to control jumps) and all of it is controlled with the mouse and keyboard :awesome:
And I put a laser on there that does 0 damage as a targeting system

I still have no clue how to use Wire for anything else :(

[Evil_Monkey]

I'm liking that ship in pictures 6 - 8 n00b1n8r. I always have problem making boats, I can never make them properly sit partially under the water.

[n00b1n8R]

I was using the buoyancy tool, though you can achieve the same effect with physical properties (wood or paper work well) and altering the weight (takes a lot more effort though).

[n00b1n8R]

Working on a new toy, I'll be posting regular updates (hopefully this will kick some life into the section too).

In case you didn't guess, I'm making an aircraft carrier. :v:
That also means I'll have to make some aircraft for it (hoverball free, naturally). That should be fun (though I probably wont start till the holidays).

The ships designed for Gcombat so all the props are pretty heavy (each piece of the deck is 2000 kg). I'll make some AA and ship to ship guns to put on it (it's totally vulnerable to subs though :X).

Crit? (yes the bridge is pretty ugly so I'm open to suggestions on that).

[n00b1n8R]

Started work on some aircraft to go along with the aircraft carrier (seems kinda pointless otherwise). Got my first ever helicopter working :awesome:

[FlyingStone]

I like the hele, but try using less phx props make it a challenge you lazy bas.

[n00b1n8R]

I intend to. That helicopter was just a concept, the next one will be much better.

[Dr Nick]

Those helicopters need moaarrr fins!

[n00b1n8R]

But fins are a royal pain in the ass, and hardly any servers support it D:

[Dr Nick]

Maybe in Australia, but here in Canada and America, almost every server has them. :\

Also, wheels need like 100,000 torque to spin helicopter blades well.

[n00b1n8R]

But I'm not using wheels :confused2:
