Gamemode section is practically dead

It's because everyone always plays custom (aka blockland as it originally was)
I think that even though Free Blockland with Addons is awesome Gamemodes are an amazing thing that isn't being used to it's full potential. I mean, just think about what you can really do with a gamemode. Now go make something amazing.

People still use slayer and other internal gamemodes I believe.  Its just that those special gamemodes are packaged with all the necessary addons and load everything right away.  I think the custom gamemodes are simply a quicker choice rather than looking through your addons.

People mostly only use custom because you can't enable any add-ons or music when you use a gamemode.

[Yin Yang]

We know why, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's fun, I just want people to see the potential of gamemodes

[Pecon]

I thought the gamemode system was really nice for creating a tailored experience in a single-player environment. My Imscared gamemode and that Sector E gamemode I think were both great examples of how the gamemode system in it's current form could be utilized well. Maybe I should work on making another single player adventure thing.

[Yin Yang]

I'd be happy to help you with planning and eventing

[otto-san]

yeah gamemodes have a lot of potential but it also locks you in

ofc this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just doesn't fit all the time. a thoroughly-developed gamemode likely wouldn't be hindered at all

[jes00]

I just think that Badspot should let people define something in their gamemode.txt that let's the person enable add-ons in that gamemode or not.

i probably dont know what im saying but what if he added the ability for the gamemode to open its own special gui before it runs? could really open up the current gamemode system. like someone could make... an options gui? an addon executing gui? a backstory gui? hell, imagine the possibilities.

But if you use any code in your gamemode then you could already do this.

Slayer is released as an actual gamemode but people use custom for it since in the actual gamemode you can't use anything but default addons.

Yes you can, you just have to enable Gamemode_Slayer in your addons in Custom.

He means if you load Gamemode_Slayer as an actual gamemode, instead of loading a Custom gamemode.
