Basing: What's Not Allowed

Here on Cloud Gaming, we've got some common basing techniques that other servers allow which aren't allowed here. Below is a list of the most common things which aren't allowed. This is a quick reference - the full Properties section of the server rules always takes priority.

Base Layout & Entrances

• Crouch / jump bases and entrances
• Underground bases and maze designs
• Ramp, stair, and ladder entrances
• Traps, airlocks, puzzles, or anything designed to mislead raiders
• More than 3 turns to reach the base, or any turn sharper than 90°
• Tunnel / hallway bases (hallways longer than 2x fence03a.mdl)
• Shooting windows or defensive structures past the final entrance fading door
• Entrances that don't fit two people side by side and front-to-back
• Hacker-proof entrances

Fading Doors & Keypads

• More than 3 fading doors per base (max 2 for PD / Terrorist HQ / Bank)
• Opening fading doors with keybinds
• Any entrance fading door delay other than 0
• Fading doors smaller than storefront_template001a_bars.mdl
• Keypads past the entrance, hidden keypads, or keypads not at eye level
• Shooting windows smaller than cube05x1x05.mdl (landscape)

Visibility & Defending

• Headglitch defending
• One-way shooting / one-way props
• Very bright or very dark bases, or props that block vision / hurt the eyes
• Confusing colours
• Defending from afar or building a sniper's nest opposite your base
• Using explosives to defend a base
• Defending without being added to the door or having a visible gang sign
• Defending with banned weapons (HL2 Crossbow, Double Barrel, Minigun, Deathmachine, Blundergat, Olympia, BO2 Remington 870)

Props, Signs & Entities

• No-collided props outside the building phase
• KOS signs placed off the property
• Text screens under size 50
• "Roleplay only" building signs on bases with money-making entities or weapons
• Blocking server entities such as NPCs or dumpsters
• Large buildings in or around spawn / the fountain
