People seem to not understand Gamemodes sometimes. Gamemodes allow Colorsets, Add-ons, Saves (Builds), and Scripts to all be organized into a simple file.
Advantages to using Gamemodes include:
- No hassle. Start up the server with the Gamemode and you are all set.
- If you wish to release your server's files, it is as simple as uploading the Gamemode. (And possible required add-ons.)
- Slayer support. No looking for the minigame in your favorites.
- Dedicated server support. They do, just not many people do it or know about it.
- Server.cs can execute scripts in the Gamemode without having to make other add-ons.
- Quick troubleshooting. Fix something in the Gamemode and quickly test it in Singleplayer.
If you think enabling a Gamemode on a dedicated server is impossible, it's not. Under the Admin Menu, you can change the Gamemode. You can also use the -gamemode tag on the dedicated server shortcut with the Gamemode name without .zip.
Popular servers that do this:
- Scenery/Gytyyhgfffff's Suburbia (Upcoming)
- Crown's Jailbreak (Previously)
- Visolator's City RPG and Tower Defense
- Meta_KnightX's Speedkart X
Save yourself time and make a Gamemode. It only takes 10 to 15 mins.
