Garry's Mod Gameplay Framework
DARKSABER 2
Darksaber 2 combines combat, progression, forging, inventory, and live operations tooling into one cohesive lightsaber framework. It is designed as a complete gameplay layer, not a single weapon script.
Product Scope
What Ships In Darksaber 2
These systems are already integrated into the current DS2 stack and accessible through its in-game command deck and server tooling.
Command Deck Interface
13-tab control surface covering dashboard, inventory, lightsaber, market, forms, skills, perks, forge, item list, and animation workflows.
Saber Forge
Part-based saber assembly with 8 mapped slots: emitter, trigger, grip, pommel, battery, focus, kyber crystal, and cage.
Material and Color Pipeline
Three independent material channels with per-channel hex controls and safe parameter patching for forge parts.
Combat Forms
Seven default forms with directional progression and attack-set limits tied to W/A/S/D direction tracks.
Skills and XP
Five skill tracks (Attack, Strength, Defense, Agility, Force) with level scaling up to 99 and synchronized progression totals.
Perk Allocation
Nine perk tracks with point spending and live network state for health, armor, movement, damage, regeneration, and focus capacity.
Inventory and Item Actions
Slot inventory with drag-and-drop movement, quick actions, world dropping, and selection-based inspector controls.
Market and Loot Tables
Kyber Shards economy, server-side shop listings, admin loot-table controls, and support for item, XP, and currency drops.
Animation Operations
Animation viewer tab, server-side sequence testing, and JSON export of local player model sequences.
Camera Preset Toolkit
12 built-in shot presets for front/side framing, glam angles, orbit, and turntable behavior using a 64-unit player baseline.
Creative Mode Support
Networked creative-mode state for unrestricted forge workflows and rapid build validation.
Lore Saber Protection
Locked lore saber safeguards to prevent modification where canonical loadouts should remain fixed.
Operational Clarity
How Teams Use It
Player Workflow
Build and manage gear in Inventory/Lightsaber tabs, tune parts in Forge, then progress through Skills, Perks, and Forms during combat.

Animation Workflow
Preview sequences, run server-side animation tests, and export model sequence data to JSON for production mapping and balancing.

Manage market listings and drop tables, spawn test items, and tune economy pacing through DS2's built-in operator controls.
