Hello. Could anyone give me some ideas for a stunt/tdm/fun server?

Not exactly any ideas, but go play some other stunt/tdm servers, See what you like or dont like about them. Then adapt them with what you think would make them better or add completely new ideas.
It helps to have an idea of competition if you want to make/run a similar server. Generally, if you have problems with the other servers and you address those issues in your server then people will usually have the same feeling and go your way instead.

However, I have played a few of these servers before and they all seem to have a similar trend. They dont have great presentation, there are lots of different colours with lackluster textdraws, HUDs and dialogs.

I want to do something different from the others, i don't want to copy-cut other servers, i really want to make something unique that will make the players feel the difference from the other servers. That's why i am asking for suggestions outta here.

The only thing I can suggest, if you want to have a successful stunt server use ideas from your own head, be creative mess around.

I started Madoshi stunt server (now Everystuff) in 2006 as pretty much a copy of Mt Chilliad Madness server. Cars atop the mountain, with a few other stunt and dm areas (no scripted objects back then). I didnt set out to compete, and just thought their set up was a good framework for what I wanted my server to be. Diff vehicles on mine, but pretty much same places.

I played a few other servers then too (TDM and other Freeroam) and when I saw features I thought would go well in my server, Id create my own using their system as the general idea. Id improve (imo) and refine them and they would end up not being copies, but my own systems using their concepts. Of course I had plenty of my own ideas too.

I dont feel it bad to use other servers stuff as inspiration, and sometimes tweaking and refining lets you discover better ways to do things, or carry over code ideas into other parts of your script. Once I set out to have NPC players like another server (back in the day), which I turned into a Pet system (using marine life objects), which irritated me and I turned it into a command where players turn thenselves into chockens or cows that can blow things up. Just how it naturally progressed, from me wanting to "copy" someones NPC bot system.

Also: Asking for unique ideas in a thread is illogical if you dont want to copy, because the ideas people post will be theirs and techinically youd be copying them if you put them in your server (lol)
