Now I know this is usually for staff members but normal players need some love too I mean they're the people that make the community what it is
First of all @Immersel Genuinely one of the reasons I started to enjoy CG again so funny and all-around sound guy.
@Miller Dawson2005 For just being miller a spastic but a special kind of spastic you know? Jokes he's sound as fuck.
@Noseian Just wouldn't be CG without a bit of Noseian in the mix what a legend.
Now I'm just gonna be @ing people because I can't write a line for everyone but it doesn't mean I like you any less
@Wiggles @ByReaper @Radontrax @Skinnyfatboy @Duck78 @Baumann @Riph @DC @S1CK @RzVibration @Sprickles @Avionix @Lucifer™ and kev bail but couldn't find his @ lol @Toxic Squirrel @Paul @Toast @MR man @jtwepiczombie
Don't be offended if I didn't @ you they're the people i could think from the top of my head. Thank you for making this community what it is.
Also, buy boney
I would like to recococomenenend @DC for being such a great a+ who deals with things as quickly as possible, and for being a loyal a+ for 7 months and 1 day currently. Lets just ignore him being a ginger for now boys, a round of applause for DC! ?
@MR man - I have tried to do some research for you and heres what I found:
"If it doesn’t work, try uninstall your latest workshop subscriptions, until the time when your Gmod worked fine.
And if THAT doesn’t work either, well, just keep uninstalling your addons, (one bunch of a time, if you have many, I had over 500 subscribed items (maybe make a collection, if you want to find all your subscribed items again)), and “Verify Integrity of Game Cache” each time you want to try start gmod. This point worked for me. "
Thank you @MR man this is very much appreciated as is all the recommendations I have received and im glad I am doing something that is being noticed thank you again.
From my daily visits to the fourms this man is incredibly active and has an immense knowledge of the server rules, he replys to suggestions effectivley along with being incredibly active and keeping on top of any ban appeals he involved with. Looking at OD times he is consistently either top or at least top 3. This man is true admin + material.

Dear everyone,
I have the pleasure of working with v0dka on the staff team for a couple of weeks now. And most of you already know hes a great guy to RP with. But thats not why im writing this. It is because it has happened to me several times now that im solo OD and the server turns into an absolute shitshow, 99% of time asking for support from our fellow staff members gets responded to quite quickly and all is well. But assuming u read it all the way to this point, you aswell are not here to talk about 99%. Its that 1% where either most other staff is AFK / not responding, or not willing to go OD for whatever reason they have. So there is me, a simple mod who's almost drowning in reports. And then there is the star of the story, v0dka. somehow he always shows up, ready to drop everything and help wherever needed to quickly and very professionally regain control of the server and improve every players Cloud-Gaming experience. So i just wanna say a big thanks to @v0dka for not only his effort in helping me, but especially his overall effort in helping Cloud-Gaming to be the best, and since i sure think we already are, stay the best DarkRP server there is.

Welcome to my FPS Boost guide. Altrough CloudGaming's servers are very good at not slowing down your laptop/pc/toaster, people with bad computers still have this issue (I do too myself). In this guide I will be showing you how to boost your FPS on Garry's Mod!
1. Ingame Settings
1.1 Start Up Garry's Mod
1.2 Go to Options and click Video
1.3 Change your resolution to lowest possible
- It causes little to no fps boost (prehaps for 5-10 fps) but it still is reccomended to do if your pc is really that bad.
-Makes everything hard to spot.
1.4 Change Settings
- Model Detail, Texture Detail, Shader Detail, Shadow Detail must be set all to low to insanely increase your FPS,
- Water Detail must be set to Simple Reflections,
- Color Correction must be disabled,
- Anitalising Mode set to None,
- Filtering Mode set to Blinear,
- Wait For Vertical Sync (Vsync) is reccomended to be disabled but if your screen starts tearing, you may enable it. || Example of screen tearing by @Toast : ||
2. Launch Options
2.1 Go to your Steam Libary, Find Garry's Mod, right click and go to properties
2.2 Go to General, Click set launch options, and type whats on the image shown above (You can also copy paste it down below)
-windowed causes your game to run in windowed mode,
-noborder causes your game to run in windowed borderless mode,
-dxlevel should be set to 90, it can also be set to 81 but that causes for you not to see the prop material in game and dxlevel 81 is probally against the rules,
-w (set your screen width)
-h (set your screen height)
-novid (does nothing in garry's mod, idk why its put in in the image shown above but for some reason it does increase fps)
-nojoy (not listed above) disables joystick commands
3. Config
This step is usually not hard to do but it may be confusing for new players.
3.1 Go to your autoexec located at C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg and find the autoexec file and open it with Notepad or Notepad++
3.2 Copy the commands you want and into your cfg file.

An introduction to Police RP
So you wish to RP as a Police Officer? This extensive guide should give you a solid foundation to base all future police roleplay on the server. I will be basing this on British Policing due to knowing more about the subject than our US counterparts.

The Basics of Policing
Before we begin we need to understand to understand the basic role of a Police Officer. On the surface a Police Officers role is to do as the mayor tells you to and enforce the law however from an RP perspective there is much more to the story. If you are to truly get into the spirit of Police RP your role should be to adhere to the Peelian Principles; the foundations of policing. They are as follows:
To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.
To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws.
To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.
To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary, of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
Those principles are the very essence of policing itself and if nothing else is taken away, allow those principles to make the foundation of your Police RP experience for your fun and enjoyment and other peoples.
Powers of Policing
Powers of Arrest
As a Police Officer while roleplaying, no matter your particular role you must understand the powers you have at your disposal, for this you must first understand the Powers of arrest and grounds for an arrest. The obvious time to use your power of arrest goes without saying, though I will say it anyway, is when an offense is taking place, the second one however is rarley disused, this is to arrest for preventative measures, let us take a look at preventative measure by analyzing one of the laws. Let us start with the 3 default laws, more specifically law number one: You cannot attack civilians other than in self defense (paraphrasing.) As a Police RPer it is your duty to prevent people from breaking this rule. A big rule of Policing is that it is better to prevent things from happening rather than responding to them as it happens; in other words you must deter people from committing the offense in the first place.
To prevent this from happening you can take several measure to prevent this, but you have to risk asses:
Are they likely to commit the offence?
Do they present an immediate danger?
Is the the danger to the public?
Is there a danger to yourself?
This is three areas to consider on a basic level. An example would be you overhear a Hitman asking people to place hits on people. Under the 4 rules you can risk asses the situation:
Are they likely to commit the offence/are they committing an offense? Yes, they have offered to break law 1 in exchange for money as an illegal service.
Do they present an immediate danger? Yes, if they are offering to kill someone for money the likely have the means to do so e.g. A lethal weapon
Is the the danger to others? Yes, their target could potentially be a member of the public, a member of Law Enforcement or a member of Government, to which they could also collaterally injured a passer by.
Is there a danger to yourself? Yes, if they have the ability to injure or kill someone else they have the ability to injure or kill you.
If you can answer yes three or more of those questions you have reasonable grounds for an arrest based on law 1. Not happy enough with just that list? Want something more realistic? For those of you who like RP to the more extreme end I am happy to tell you that under The Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984 section 24 there is more grounds for an arrest based on preventative measures. I have edited number 2 and 5 to be more in keeping with the rules. The list is as followed:
Preventative Measures (Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984)
You have reasonable grounds for an arrest if:
- The person may cause injury to self or others
- The person is suffering from self inflicted injury
- The person is causing damage to property
- The person is offending public decency
- The person is causing obstruction
NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP
Stop and Search
The ability to perform stop and search is one of the most useful powers a Police RPer has at their disposal. The primary purpose of stop and search powers is to enable officers to allay or confirm suspicions about individuals without excising their power of arrest. It is often debated as what consists of reasonable grounds, the official line is that an officer my perform a stop and search if they have reasonable grounds to suspect an offense is taking place, however this is a bit vague in terms of description and it is on the onus of the officer to decide what counts as reasonable grounds. When doing so try to use common sense, some examples of when a stop and search would be acceptable would be:
- A group of masked men are standing outside a house that isn't theirs
- There has been a report of robbery's in the area and a masked man runs into a shop
- You get a report of an offender who used a handgun to rob a shop in your area and a person matching their description walks past
- You have the name of someone who might be carrying something illegal and you see that person
- A masked man approaches the mayor while being aggresive
Again this is just a limited example, but this would be just some of the common sense rules to go off. When searching someone you must always tell them
Your name
The grounds for the search, What prompted you to search him e.g. matching description of an offender
The objective for the search, What you are searching for
Those three things are a persons legal right to privacy and should be adhered to for correct Police roleplay. Again if this is too basic for you we can adapt and use the real UK police protocol to conduct a search correctly; Remember always search W.I.S.E.L.Y:
-Warrant Card, present your warrant card to the individual.
-Identity, state your identity clearly to the person being searched (Bind above for none microphone users.)
-Station, state the station you are attached to (in this case is Cloud Gaming Police Station.)
-Entitlement, inform the individual he has an entitlement to a search record or to complain to the government if the search is not conducted correctly or to legal standards.
-Legal power used, inform the individual the law used to search them (Police and Criminal Evidence act Section 1/Mayors law if applicable) grounds for the search and the objective of the search.
-You are detained for the purpose of this search.
NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP.
Use of Force
Criminal law act 1967 "A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstance in the prevention of crime." That is the guideline given by UK legislation and is pretty effective to convert into a roleplay element. Force should be used in an appropriate setting where necessary. Your number one objective should be to protect the life of the general public, secondary should be to protect your own.
less-than-lethal force
There are several circumstances where it would be appropriate to use less-than-lethal force, an example of reasons are the following:
A person is causing obstruction, if you are able to move him without an arrest it is advisable to do so.
To enforce a Police cordon, this will be disused further, however if you can get them out of the cordon area without an arrest, do so.
To deter an approach, if you are guarding an individual or an area you may use less-than-lethal force to deter their approach to area/person
In response to invasion of personal space, if someone is entering your personal space and reaction gap you may use less-than-lethal force to move them back
Again with use of less than lethal force use common sense, if it is uneeded to use less than lethal force then do not use it, if it risks escalating the situation then do not use it. If you find that the situation naturally escalates then refer to my next guideline.
Lethal Force
Use of lethal force is quite simple, you may use lethal force if you believe there is a danger to life, be it your own or others. Lethal force is quite simple to asses, you can use the Yes, Maybe, No. We can categorize what situations fit into where.
Yes - The suspect is confirmed to have a lethal weapon on him and is failing to comply with instructions given/is actively committing an offense.
Maybe - The suspect is fleeing from a scene/matches the description of an armed suspect and is failing to comply with a stop and search or instructions and it is unknown if they are armed.
No - The suspect is known not to have a weapon on him or the suspect is following instructions even if armed.
An office is authorized to shoot if the answer is yes or maybe, if the answer it maybe it is advised the officer uses discretion before opening fire on the suspect an either give time for the suspect to comply with instructions or change the maybe from a yes. If you reasonably believe the suspect has potential to cause injury or kill you or others you may use lethal force in defense of yourself or the general public.
Police Cordon
The police cordon is a simple but effective measure of containing incidents/suspects, but it is also useful for preventing the general public from interfering with Police operations, hindering police progress or potentially getting injured or killed. A police cordon should:
- Contain the suspects
- Block of the area of Police operation to the general public
- Be enough distance away from the operation area so as to prevent injury to members of the public
- Prevent members of the public/suspects observing police movements to prevent potential spotting and information leaks
- Be clearly visable
- Be manned by regular Police Officers while S.W.A.T Conduct the operation
- Be split into an outer and inner cordon
A cordon will make Police operations that much easier to conduct as it will prevent civilians from interfering, will prevent attack from outside elements or at least give the operational officers enough warning to react to it, and will prevent innocent people from being injured by potential spray bullets.
When manning a cordon it is important you split into 2 groups:
Cordon Officers, who's responsibility is to man to cordon and prevent people entering the cordon area
Operation Officers, who;s responsibility is to conduct the raid/operation inside the cordon area
The operational officers will likely already know their goal as it will more than likely be a raid or other area operation, so it is important the Cordon Officers know what is expected of them. The Cordon Officer job will likely be undertake by Police, with occasional S.W.A.T support with rot shield, due to not being correctly equipped for hard entry raid scenarios. When manning the cordon there are 3 golden rules to follow:
Under no circumstance can any none Law Enforcement enter the operation area
Do not allow bystanders to get to much information from observation
Do not allow bystanders to get to much information out of you
Number 1 is a given, however number 2 and 3 are often overlooked but are just as important the sort of information they are able to observe is police positions, weapons, numbers etc. This is highly useful information for any defender to have and you do not know who is passing this information to the defenders, so don't let them get it. As for information they could get out of you this could be tactics you are discussing e.g. "we'll drop the ransomed money and arrest him when he comes out to collect it" or "We will send in a medic to check the hostage who will secretly give the hostage a gun." Even telling people what exactly you are hoping to get inside a base will give any defender knowledge on what he needs to hide or destroy to cover up their offence and avoid arrest. Think before you talk and if anyone asks just inform them that there is a Police operation underway.
With cordon officers, assuming there is enough of you, you can be split down even further into 3 roles each with their own responsibility:
- Defender. The job of a defender is to be stationed on the cordon and stay there despite what might be going on outside the cordon, it is your job to make sure no one gets past and follow the 3 golden rules
- Chaser. They will be stationed on the cordon but will leave the cordon in the event that someone attempts to bait the police or a criminal offense is taking place in view outside of the cordon, your job will to be to arrest the defender or otherwise chase them as far away as to not present danger or obstruction to the operation
- Cordon Manager. Your job will to be to ensure all others are performing their role, you will be responsible for liaising with the operational officers to find out how far the operation is into it's time and how long it will be until the operation officers exit the building after all suspects are eliminated or detained, you will also be praising you officers and helping when they are a man short due to a chaser performing his name sake. This job should be done by the Chief of Police.
Finally it is important to know when to use a cordon, there is no one answer for this but again, use common sense. A list of examples are as followed:
Building raid
The Bank/PD is being raided
Extended operations in an area
Hostage situation
There is a danger to those inside an area
There is a danger to those who enter an area
Again there is no one rule but use common sense and use the guidelines to do so effectively. Always assume you will never have enough officers to man a full cordon and prioritize as best you can based on potential threat to you and your operation.
Job Roles
Police Officer
The Role
As a Police Officer you are responsible for the day to day operations of the Police. This can be anything from a solo foot patrol, door to door questioning or manning a cordon. As a Police Officer your role is adaptable and diverse and you could go from investigating reports of Underground Mutants attacking Miners one moment, perusing a money thief another and securing the area and checking people for concealed weapons during the mayors speech the next. You will leave most of heavy duty jobs to the S.W.A.T as they are more equipped to deal with dangerous situations, though you may find yourself exchanging fire from time to time.

Why PoliceRP?
I find that there seems to be a lack of competent RP in all areas, not just policing, but the lack of RP in policing is most noticeable and important. If all Police Officers were to put in more effort while RPing it would be an overall more enjoyable experience for everyone, not only cutting on admin time having to deal with constant calls of RDM and FailRP. I'm not suggesting for a moment to turn this into a serious RP server as the exaggerate aspects are what I enjoy about DarkRP, I am just suggesting we do not shun the importance of role play, more specifically performing our role to one side for enjoyment.
I do hope this guide has at very least gives enough detail and helps give some people guidance as to how to play the Police Service better and enhance their own and everyone else's RP experience.
If there is anything I have missed out, you want me to adress or otherwise have questions about please leave a comment, message me in game or on the forum and I will be happy to help.
Kindest Regards,
Henry West.
