      It will only die out yet again. There were loads of amazing gamemodes that would have constant activity that just gradually lost their playerbase and died out. Gmod itself is already losing players. The game just isn't as popular anymore unfortunately. People still play on there, but not as much as before. You would be hard pressed to find a reasonable amount of players on a unique gamemode (let's not count the big guys such as sandbox, darkrp, starwarsrp, etc.) that isn't in a language other than English, and isn't nearly or fully empty.

    Does anyone remember that Explosive Barrel gamemode? It was really simple but so much fun, it was 2 teams 1 of barrels and the other were humans armed with modified USP's that had more ammo but fired slower. Exploding a regular barrel usually resulted in HP loss or typically death just like in prop hunt and It worked like infection starting the game with a single sentient barrel, each kill adding a new teammate. I miss it so much...

  • @zergooo72
    @zergooo72 Рік тому +4

    I have a feeling that Melon Race was removed from GMod much later. I remember seeing it in a 2006 build of GMod 10, and some builds of GMod 11. From what I know, the build of GMod 10 shown here is from 2007, plus the gamemode might have been removed by someone that made a copy of it for some unknown reason. From what I remember, Melon Race in GMod 11 looked a lot like what you see in 6:02, with the weird baby compass thing. Keep in mind that I never played the game back then and was just fooling around with copies of old GMod version floating around the internet, so it's possible that the community might have tampered with it, although the ones I have found are pretty clean and have no mods.

    Melon Race was something I really enjoyed in the days before GMod became paid. I haven't though about that default map for quite some time, but memories came flooding back when I saw it and the rest of the Gmod 9 gamemode page. However, I was hoping with this video you'd be able to find some more of the maps people made for it.
    I have a very scant memory of one that had a few height levels of track and along the highway at the top there was a fast headcrab zombie, but I probably haven't seen that level for 15 years. I also remember a handful of very futuristic looking melon race maps that were loaded with secrets you could find if you were bored of trying to get the best lap time. Point is, there were definitely more custom maps than was given credit for, but who knows how much of that stuff remains on hard drives around the world today.

    I remember years ago when I was running GMod servers I found an old copy of Melon Racer that had been ported from GMod 9 to GMod 12 and then was able to use that to port it to GMod 13 to run on one of my servers. Unfortunately it didn't get much popularity at the time and I stopped running the others (SledBuild, Pirate Ship Wars, Flood). Wish I'd shared the code I had at the time so others could have had servers up too. Happy to hear it has been released on the workshop. Event more happy to hear it will be remade in S&box. :)

But if you tried to use any of the common virus concommands it would announce it to the server, freeze you in place, spam your console with audio clips and unbind all your keys. I got to see it spread to a number of servers since I'd play zombie mod a lot and randomly see my chat message announcement pop up. Soon later gmod 10 was released and the whole thing abruptly ended.

  • @DR-54
    @DR-54 Рік тому +1

    This is super similar to the super blocky ball community for roblox
    in fact, this was a really popular gamemode (except you were in a sphere) in the older days of roblox from like 2007-2014, since in 2006 most people didn't really know what to do with it and 2007 was only just starting to move in that direction. I wonder if the creator of that gamemode (which then got mirrored and mutated into SBB) had connections to the melon race community.
    The style of the race track is nearly identical to how SBB does it, although you have more controls (A and D move you side to side and allows you to turn harder) and you can't be killed by smashing into something, but if you smash into something it bounces you backwards a lot and that gives a massive precision and speed curve that you talked about. There's an economics term exactly for that kind of trade off, it's the production possibility curve, literally. You follow that accordingly to your own playstyle, it's actually funny how complex such innanely simple mechanics can get on a paper level. I find myself regularly going back to the idea of many games we play sharing a lot of similarities with chess. Chess is a game with very simple rules and mechanics, yet it is one of the most intricate and deep board games that is commonly played with hundreds of years of strategizing and complex mathematical algorithms that can't even solve the game. In that aspect, this form of racing is a similar situation where simple mechanics make for complex competition.
    Before anyone says, I know that both were obviously inspired by super monkey ball. I mean, super blocky ball literally makes that obvious, but the map designs for SBB and melon racing are more similar to one another than to SMB and the control schemes are entirely different, being adapted for a more (at the time) limited platform. The game completely changes when you remove the tilting mechanic and use a more standard moving mechanic, it's like how CSGO and Valorant play similarly but are totally different games on the paper level because of the more limited utility on Valorant.

    I remember a long while back (but after the commercial release of Gmod) I decided to reassemble Gmod 9 in standalone form, the pieces were Gmod's mod folder, the engine (I don't remember whether it used Source SDK or HL2), the content from HL2 (probably) and SteamEmu to make sure it runs standalone.
    And then ofc I played it and that was my introduction to Melon Race. I fell in love and had some good fun with it, and always wondered why this never made into the commercial release

    wow this is incredible. I played garrys mod from a very early stage. back when the game was a free mod and every few months a new version would be released (garrys mod 7, 8, 9 etc) I even remember when the game came out officially and having to beg my father to buy it for me.
    I had completely forgot about it until watching this video, but I remember when this version of gmod came out and playing all of these goofy game modes with my brother and friends during our lan parties. for some reason I particularly remember the bird poo game. pretty sure all you did was fly around and poop on stuff haha. I also remember playing a lot of laser dance with my friends. I probably played every single one of these game modes to try them when this version came out.
    crazy to me that these were such a big deal to me and then just disappeared. just seeing the images for the different game modes really brings me back. I don't think I would have ever even realized how much of this I remember if you hadn't made this video. really brought back a lot of lost memories. thanks so much.

      Me and you have similar stories! except for me, I was introduced to Gmod in 2012 with GMod 9, then I got cracked/pirated versions of Gmod 11 and 12 (12 is my favourite), then I had to beg my father to buy me the steam version (Gmod 13)

    Man seeing that screen at 2:16 brings back memories. MelonRacer too, I remember it played a snippet of Running in the 90s, or maybe that was a certain map/server or another mode.

    I really didn't expect Richter to be able to get into contact with Garry on the topic of Melon Racer
    Still just shows that Garry knows the Gmod history more than anyone, and if anything it shows that he still holds a little passion for his creation today.
    I was originally hesitant on S&Box replacing Gmod, but now I think it'll be great to have a small piece of obscure Gmod history present in that game.
