Gamemodeless

Gamemodeless 1.1.0

A flexible, generic arena system with no predefined game rules
Documentation License Changelog (1) Version History Discussion
Dependencies
Gamemode Core (Required), Gear Core (Required)
Gamemodeless is a companion plugin to Gamemode Core that creates flexible arena zones without predefined gameplay objectives. Unlike specialized minigames (such as FFA or Gun Game), Gamemodeless gives you complete freedom to define your own rules and behaviors.

This plugin is ideal for:
  • Combat training areas where players can practice without consequences
  • Custom PvP zones with server-specific rules
  • Testing grounds for trying out weapons and strategies
  • Freestyle arenas that don't fit traditional gamemode structures
  • Elimination tournaments with custom victory conditions
Each arena operates independently with its own configuration, allowing you to create multiple zones with different purposes on the same server. Players can join arenas through teleporter zones placed in your lobby, and the plugin handles all the underlying mechanics like respawning, inventory management, and zone boundaries.

Death Behavior Options

The Death Behavior setting determines what happens when a player dies:

AutoRespawn (Default)
  • Player automatically respawns at a spawn point
  • Full health and metabolism reset
  • Gear set re-equipped if configured
  • Ideal for training areas and practice arenas
Eliminate
  • Player is removed from the arena on death
  • Teleported back to lobby and respawned there
  • Useful for elimination tournaments or last-man-standing events
DoNothing
  • Player remains dead with normal Rust death screen
  • No automatic respawn or removal
  • Useful when controlling respawn logic through external plugins

Creating Your First Arena

1. Stand where you want the arena center
Code: 
gm.gmodeless create "My First Arena" here 40 10

2. Add spawn points (add 3-5 for variety)
Code: 
gm.gmodeless edit 001
gm.gmodeless spawn add here 3
Move to different location, then:
Code: 
gm.gmodeless spawn add here 3

3. Create a teleporter in the lobby. Go to your lobby, then:
Code: 
gm.gmodeless teleporter create here 2 15 true

4. Configure the arena
Code: 
gm.gmodeless set gear "PvPLoadout"
gm.gmodeless set death autorespawn
gm.gmodeless rule add NoBuilding

Chat commands start with a /, while console commands can be entered directly in the F1 console or server console. Use find <keyword> in console to search for available commands related to the plugin. Parameters in < > are required, while [ ] are optional.
This plugin uses Oxide's permission system. Grant or revoke permissions using oxide.grant and oxide.revoke. You can assign them to individual players or groups using their Steam id or group name.
Settings are stored in the config file found under the config/ directory. You can edit this file manually, then reload the plugin to apply your changes.
Persistent data is saved in the data/ directory. This includes things like saved settings, usage stats, or player progress depending on the plugin. Deleting a data file will reset stored progress or customizations.
Language files are located in the lang/ folder. To translate messages, copy the en.json file into your target language folder (e.g. fr, de) and edit the values. Reload the plugin after changes to apply new messages.
This section lists public methods exposed by the plugin for use in other plugins. You can call these via the CallHook method. Ensure the plugin is loaded before calling its API to avoid null reference errors.
These are custom hooks that other plugins can listen for. Simply define a method with the same name and expected parameters in your plugin to handle the event. Hooks are triggered at key moments and are useful for extending or reacting to plugin behavior.
These hooks are injected into the game's code using Harmony. They let the plugin run code at key points in the game's internal logic. You can return values to block or modify behavior. Use with caution — these are powerful and can affect core mechanics.
