π Description of "NSafezone: Advanced Safezone Management for GMod"
NSafezone is an advanced Safezone management system for Garry's Mod, designed to meet modern multiplayer server demands in 2025. Built from scratch leveraging prior expertise, NSafezone offers a modular, ultra-optimized solution entirely free of physical entities to place in-game. Thanks to an intelligent client/server architecture, it ensures minimal performance footprint while providing a high level of customization.
The tool allows the creation of spherical or cubic protection zones, configurable by various criteria (job, category, level, role, etc.) without relying on any specific gamemode. Compatible with DarkRP, Sandbox, and many more, NSafezone also integrates seamlessly into the OSGMod ecosystem. Each zone can trigger player protection, display custom HUD elements (logo, text, color), block certain actions (shooting, sprinting, weapon switching), or force equipment on entry such as selecting the hands from the inventory system to enforce weapon holstering.
Administration is centralized via an ergonomic menu, enabling fine configuration of all parameters: access permissions, role groups, audio effects, activation delays, behavioral restrictions, etc. For direct in-game handling, an intuitive SWEP is integrated, allowing creation, editing, or deletion of zones without map reload.
Designed for high-load environments, NSafezone relies on no global hook, no permanent loop, and performs no continuous network sync. All effects are triggered locally. At only 58kb (compared to 192kb for my old Safezone version (2015)), the addon combines lightness, efficiency, and robustness, easily supporting up to 128 simultaneous players.

βοΈ NSafezone Menu: Centralized management, no entities to place
From an ergonomic menu, configure:
Centralization and creation of role, rank, job, and category groups assignable to zones.
Audio effects triggered upon entering a zone.
HUD parameters (logo, position, color, duration, etc.) displayed when protection is active.
Specific behaviors (shooting restriction, weapon switch ban, auto switch to tools such as hands upon entry).
The required permission level or group to benefit from protection.
The menu allows full configuration, ideal for multi-map servers or team collaboration.
π§° Integrated SWEP Tool: Create and edit Safezones in-game
Use the integrated Tool to manage Safezones directly on the map:
- Reload key: open SWEP menu.
- Left click: place spherical zone.
- Right click: define second point to create cubic zone.
- Left click: move P1.
- Right click: move P2.
- Left click: delete targeted zone.
- Right click: delete last placed zone.
This ergonomics allows fast management without relaunching the map or opening Hammer++.
ποΈ HUD & Protection: Visual immersion and user feedback
When a player enters a secure zone:
- The zone name can appear on screen (custom duration).
- A "safezone" logo appears on screen.
- Its appearance is customizable (size, color).
- Optional messages are sent in chat.
- A notification may appear on the HUD.
Additionally, an entry sound reinforces intuitive and immersive feedback.
π Safezone Configuration and Behavior
The NSafezone system can be configured with:
- Activation and deactivation delays.
- Shooting and weapon-switch restrictions.
- Damage blocking.
- NPC attack blocking.
- Auto-equipped weapon on entry.
- One-time use per session (e.g., one-time zone entry per player).
- Auto-deletion after a set time: you can place a zone and define its lifetime, useful for events.
Configuration is intuitive and every setting can be enabled or left blank.
π Permissions, Restrictions, and Role-Based Management
Each zone can be:
- Limited to a job, category, or group.
- Reserved for a specific player level.
- Open to everyone.
- Compatible with NJob or DarkRP (if installed, otherwise [nojob]).
Perfect for VIP zones, faction areas, protected respawn zones, or RP-secured areas.
π‘οΈ Gmod Spawn Protection includes
Instead of placing safezones at spawn locations, or installing additional scripts just to get spawn protection, NSafezone already includes spawn protection, the duration of which you can define. When the player spawns, they get their protection automatically and a notification telling them how long they have until their spawn protection runs out.
β‘ Performance and Client/Server Architecture
Addon size:
- Client (Lua): 44kb
- Server (Lua): 14kb
- Workshop (Material): 4kb
NSafezone is performance-oriented:
- No global hook.
- No continuous loop.
- No physical entities to place.
- Manage all zones via in-game tool or NSafezone menu.
- No permanent server-client sync.
Effects are triggered locally with near-zero server cost. Even with 128 concurrent players, the system remains stable and smooth.
