Lambda Players | The Zeta Player Sequel

Discontinued. There will no longer be anymore updates from me.

Lambda Players | The Sequel the Zeta Players

Cave Johnson here. I got news on a AI here I am sure you will most certainly enjoy. No, this isn't about our latest Aperture Refrigerator. I'm talking about the Zeta Players, and let me tell you, these guys really brought something special to Garry's Mod. The Zeta Players had a simple idea: to mimic real players in a sandbox setting. And they did it damn well. They created an experience that was so immersive and lifelike, it was hard to tell if you were playing with real people or not. The investors damn well loved it. But, as with all good things, there were some issues. Performance was a big one. The god awful code they used was enough to make a grown man cry. And don't even get me started on how they organized the code. It was like they were trying to make things as difficult as possible. But, despite all of that, the Zeta Players still managed to capture something special. They brought a certain charm to the game that was hard to replicate. And for that, they will always have a place in gaming history. Now, onto the sequel to the Zeta Players: the Lambda Players. Let me tell you folks, these guys are something else. They took everything that was great about the Zeta Players and improved on it in every way. First off, the performance is through the roof. These guys really know how to write code that doesn't bog down your system. And the module system they use is a thing of beauty. It's clean, it's simple, and it just works. But, most importantly, the Lambda Players still capture that same charm that the Zeta Players had. They've managed to take what made the Zetas special and build upon it in a way that feels fresh and exciting. So, to all the gamers out there, I say this: if you haven't tried out the Lambda Players yet, you're missing out on something truly special. These guys are the real deal, and they're taking the singleplayer experience to new heights. Cave Johnson, we're done here.

Hello again. I'm back with another addon but this time a rewrite of the beloved Zeta Players. I don't even need to tell you what makes Lambda Players better than the Zetas as the quote above already nailed it lol.

What is Lambda Players and what is their purpose?

Lambda Players are a complete rewrite of Zeta Players which are Nextbots designed to mimic Real Players in a regular Sandbox Server setting. (This means they are meant to be in Sandbox and Sandbox only! Do not ask for them to support other gamemodes! They will never support other modes!) Much like their Zeta counterparts, their core features are of the following:

Building

Combat

Doing whatever a Sandbox player may do

Lambda Players like the Zetas have many options and tools you can use and play with inside their Lambda Player tab. There are a lot of settings and options. Please make sure you read each setting's descriptions to know what it does so you don't come here asking what it does

Lambda Players are your players of your Server whether it is singleplayer or not, you have the ability to personalize your Players through custom Profile Pictures, custom names, custom text lines, custom voicelines, ect. So turn them into whatever you wish! To customize your Lambdas, please go here to learn https://github.com/IcyStarFrost/Lambda-Players/wiki/Adding-Custom-Content

But what does Lambda have over Zeta? What makes it better?

• Lambda Players has higher performance then the Zetas
• Lambda Player's way of handling custom content is much better than the Zeta's way
• Lambda Players can work without a Navigation Mesh! However they won't be able to pathfind
• Lambda Players has official support for Multiplayer. This means Clients can not harm the Server's custom content, Lambda's features are not targetted to only the first person (Entity(1)) in the server, you can make clients download things like Lambda Profile Pictures by using workshop addons so they can see Profile Pictures and such, and lastly to note all the convars and settings are properly labeled whether they are Client-Side or Server-Side.
• Lambda Players have a much cleaner, optimized, and documented internal code. Look at the difference between each one's code for finding if they have permission to edit something
• Lambda Code
• 
• Zeta Code
• Yes this is a Find function but the point stays the same
• 
• Lambda Players are module which means addons can extend upon Lambda unlike the Zeta's hard coded code
• Lambda Players can appear in the default scoreboard
• 
• This feature can be turned off by turning this off in Lambda Server Settings category
• 

If you are new to Lambda, you will be surprised on the memorable moments you can get just by simply playing with them. Just watch the Lambda's release video.
