Welcome to Pitch Black DM
The server where you can't see past ten feet.
What is Pitch Black DM?
Pitch Black DM is a DM server that has two twists -
One, it's dark as forget, so stealth comes in handy.
Two, each player (the server holds up to 16 players at one time) has his own class that gets shuffled around each round.
What are the classes?
Well, there's about 16 classes on the server, as I mention above. There's:
The Thing
The Thing is a fast-moving player armed with four black knives(you can throw them, so he gets backup knives), and a bunch of molotovs. He's not someone you want to meet in a dark alley, as he's faster than you, and will probably stick a knife in you before you can blink.
The Hunter
The Hunter is a player who can sprint. He's meant to be able to combat The Thing, and is armed with two covert pistols, a silenced SMG, and a crossbow. He won't bother to shoot anyone who gets in his way, however...
The Grunt
The Grunt is an unlucky soldier from wars past who's stuck in this mess now. His health slowly regens when he isn't being shot at, and he's equipped with a pistol, a shotgun, and an assault rifle.
The Heavy
The Heavy, like the Grunt, is a soldier from wars passed on. His health also regens, and he's armed with a pistol, a pump shotgun, and an LMG. He moves slightly slower when he's using the LMG, but don't underestimate him - He can tear you to shreds in seconds if he can get a bead on you.
The Grenadier
The Grenadier is a grenade-slinging soldier. His health regens, and he's armed with a grenade launcher, a machine pistol, and concussion and stick grenades. He's not the one to have suddenly barge in on you while you're fighting someone in close quarters.
The Scout
The Scout can, like the Hunter, sprint. He's armed with a pistol, a sniper, and an SMG. He's not that great at long range combat, but he can kill you quickly if you get hit a few times with his sniper.
The Anti-Tank Soldier
A rival to the Grenadier, this guy regens health and is armed with a magnum, an RPG, and a few stick grenades. Don't underestimate him - he can kill you in a few hits from any of his weapons.
The Sniper
This guy's sort of a mix between the Hunter and the Scout. His health regens, and he's armed with a covert pistol, a silenced sniper, and a silenced SMG. Be careful roaming open areas - This guy can blow your head off without you even noticing he's there.
The Shotgunner
The Shotgunner's a fast-paced soldier, who can sprint, and is armed with a pistol, a riot shotgun, and a machine pistol. Don't let him get too close.
The Marine
The Marine's similar to the Grunt - he's a soldier making his way in the new world. He's armed with a pistol, a bullpup, and an SMG. Don't think he's the same as the Grunt, though - his bullpup can deliver some serious damage.
The Jetpack Joyrider
This guy's straight-up dangerous - He's got a jetpack, and he's willing to use it. To take as much advantage as possible from this ability, he's armed with a magnum, an SMG, and a single-shot shotgun. He's dangerous if he gets the drop on you - his SMG will rip you to pieces before you can tell what's going on.
The Renegade
The Renegade's a hater of law and order - He deliberately fights simply to add to the chaos, and to get revenge for those who died at the hands of the soldiers. He's a sprinter, and he's armed with a magnum, a machine pistol, a rifle, and some molotovs. Don't let him hit you with a molotov - those things will take you out if he gets you in the center of their flame.
The Shocktrooper
This guy literally is the 'shock and awe' factor of an army - He's got regenning health, and is armed with a pistol, a battle rifle, and some concussion grenades. Don't think he's missing when he aims for the wall with a concussion grenade - They bounce, and can kill you in the blink of an eye. Also, watch out for his rifle - it's really accurate for an assault rifle.
The Leaper
This guy's almost the little counterpart of the Jetpack Joyrider - He's a leap-jet player, giving him his name - His jetpack-boosted jumps can send him flying as high as a kite, which makes good use for his dual SMG's and his shotgun. Watch out for his Pepperbox pistol, too - It's a little version of a shotgun. If you can get him at long range, though, you might be able to do something about him.
The Naval Trooper
This guy's another 'normal soldier' counterpart - He's got regenning health, with a magnum, an SMG, and a scattergun as his weapons.
The Stalker
This guy's a wannabe Thing - He's armed with dual covert pistols, nearly as fast as the Thing, and has a black knife and some stick grenades. Watch out - He may look like a slower version of The Thing, but he's just as deadly with his dual pistols and his speed.
Q & A
What's the weaponpack?
The weaponpack is Tier Tactical, which serves well considering it's diversity.
Why only sixteen classes/player slots?
I didn't want all the classes to seem like re-hashes of the others, so I decided to limit the server to an even amount of players, while still keeping a good amount of diversity.
Help! I can't see for stuff!
Please turn your shaders to minimum. If that doesn't work, check and make sure your draw distance is set at the maximum. If THAT still doesn't fix it, your computer may not be compatible with shaders. Sorry, there's no work-around for that except disabling one of the server's main features.
Can I apply for admin/moderator/whatever the forget?
Straight up no. I'll only pick administrators from people who play on the server often, and I know personally. If you post an admin application here it will be ignored.
Why don't you host a dedicated server?
There's three reasons for this:
One, I tend to switch houses, and thusly, computers, every once in a while, leading to different internet/saves/whatever the forget often.
Two, I don't have money for a dedicated server. If you sincerely want to donate to keep this running constantly, then I'll see what I can do, but no promises.
Three, I'm just not ready for a dedi server. I don't want to not be there and hope the administrators I have are doing their job, and I simply don't want the server to be left unchecked in the occurrence of an event of some kind, be it DDoS, cheating, or whatever may end up happening.
Suggestions!
Feel free to suggest anything you like (as long as it's not insanely unreasonable.)
Credits
The only person I can really credit is myself at the moment, as I made the build, and came up with 99% of the ideas as far as I can remember. If you feel like you deserve credit for something that you suggested that ended up being put in, feel free to PM me about the matter and we'll sort it out.
