Why are people still use godfather script? I mean its been like almost 10 years since it was released + it aint that easy to manage if you got no experience.
Considering that most of the scripts nowadays are easier to manage etc. etc why are people still using it lol

It was a great script back in the days, and some great scripts were made with it but damn

I honestly don't see anymore servers using the old version of the godfather, the only servers I see are mostly based on the leaked NGRP script, don't get me wrong - I am not praising it, but it's not as out dated as the GF is.

Understandable, and I can see where you're going. I feel the same way but we have to face the facts here. The script is popular itself, there's servers out there who has tons of players WITH that script, I won't name any but I'm aware most of you guys already know. In my case, some of the players who come by, often. Usually throw that saying around my project/server.

I'm gonna dump my two cents here, but it's a different story when I use such a thing in a project in U2-MP. Does it turn players off? I'm unsure, but is it a great script? Hell yes! The fact that I'm using a famous script in such a unique project, shouldn't be frowned upon. Porting such scripts aren't even that easy as everyone thinks, especially doing it "alone."

In short, it's a great script, and it's annoying to see it everywhere, however a script edit doesn't make it a bad server, doesn't it?

No one really uses GF edits anymore. It's either zGaming or Vortex. Maybe a heavily edited and new features added GF scripts.

It's because everyone is lazy as fuck, and cbfed making their own, so they used GF because it was cool at the time, then because NGRP got leaked, people started trying to use that, then when they couldn't get that working they'd go back to the GF script.

Is it? I've only ever seen 1 server survive and use the Vortex script - Moving Target Gaming. Props to them btw, I think I've only ever spoken to 1 developer from over there and it's great to see my work (which has probably been re-written over 239042302 times over by now haha) being used

Well to be honest I still see shitton of servers popping out as editions of Godfather, well 80% of roleplay servers that do get released today and GF edits.
Altho, there are way more advanced scripts that you can fuck around such as Vortex and everything but still people tend to use GF a lot.
I know that most of the servers have been built on GF, such as LSRP, old Valhalla, NGG, and yes it comes natural that old players are used to GF scripts and they like the fact that many servers have same functions, commands etc, but I still dont get it...

People are familiar with GF/NGRP scripts and like that style of gameplay. Almost everything in life that is successful is just an adaption of something that already exists - look at the entertainment industry for example - music, movies, tv shows, etc. These are all essentially based off the same concept, but have adaptions to make them unique and interesting. Straying too far from the things people love can sometimes pay off but SA-MP is a game/mod/whatever you wanna call it which mostly is played by children and teenagers.

Fair play to them, I used to love playing for 2-5 years on and off but then I eventually grew bored of it. Who really cares what script they're using? If you don't enjoy the server, it's pretty easy to find another one. And if you have a unique concept that you feel players will enjoy, then you can easily make your own server However I think if you do make your own server it is important to remember that there are essential things which need to be familiar for players so they don't feel like they have a huge learning curve just to play a game which is offered by like 2000+ other servers that might suit their mood more - i.e. wanting to be a cop, endlessly killing people for no reason, driving a car around and pretending to have authoritah!!!

EDIT: Damnit I just wrote an essay. I should be putting this effort in to my actual coursework.

You should actually be proud to develop such a Gamemode. Good job anyways.

I agree with you Calgon entirely, but damn from scripter view at the situations like these, I just find it simply that scripters are quite lazy when it comes to creating stuff haha. I mean it only takes 1-2 months to create RP script nowadays.
