Summary
DarkRP is a Garry's Mod roleplay gamemode that is an updated revision of LightRP.[1] There is a comprehensive API[2] for modding for this gamemode, and as such many people have created extensions to the gamemode. The gamemode can be downloaded onto a server via the Steam workshop [3] or alternatively can be cloned from Github, Both workshop and github versions are updated and are identical to each other.
Default Gameplay
Since DarkRP is a sandbox game, there is no real objective. Players can earn salaries from being certain jobs within the server. There are other ways to earn money as well; players can sell weapons, drugs and food, create money printers, receive money by writing checks or receiving it directly to another player. Players are allowed to buy houses and build their own living area using entities they can spawn from the Garry's Mod Spawn Menu so they can live out there lives in the fictional setting. Once a player dies they lose all their weapons, items but still keep their money, buildings and entities.
Development
The entire gamemode can be developed by owners who run the gamemode to suit their server needs. An addition to the default DarkRP gamemode is a "modification" addon [4] that is avaliable to allow DarkRP to be modified such as adding custom jobs, entities and more. The DarkRP gamemode interacts with the DarkRP-Modification addon through the addons folder. This allows the functionality of the gamemode to be expanded to suit different servers and roleplay ideas instead of set gamemode rules and boundaries. The entire DarkRP-modification addon is modular and is designed to work without fault with new DarkRP versions after they are updated, The idea around the DarkRP-modification addon is to allow developers to edit the DarkRP gamemode without having to actually edit the gamemode files, risking corruption and errors of the actual gamemode itself. The DarkRP modification addon uses simplfied configs and lua input fields to allow amatuer editing of the gamemode without having to know advanced lua coding, allowing greater numbers of players who wish to design their own RP server to do so with ease.
