Technical Server Defenses
Falcos Prop Protection (FPP) is the essential technical shield for any community Garry’s Mod server. Without this framework, a single malicious player can delete critical world geometry, freeze the server process by spawning massive collision objects, or “prop-kill” other community members within designated safe zones. FPP provides a strong suite of tools to define ownership, automate world cleanup, and restrict toolgun usage based on player rank. This guide walk you through the professional calibration of your FPP shields.Difficulty

Step 1: Accessing the Management Dashboard
FPP is frequently bundled with the DarkRP gamemode or can be deployed as a standalone modification from the Steam Workshop.Open FPP Settings
Locate and click on Falcos Prop Protection within the sidebar menu.
- Note: You must possess Superadmin Privileges to modify global server-wide variables.
Step 2: Recommended Anti-Grief Calibration
To maintain a high-performance environment, we recommend applying the following logical constraints.| Management Module | Recommended Action | Technical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| General Settings | Enable Cleanup on Disconnect | Automatically purges a player’s assets when they leave, preventing persistent world clutter and memory leaks. |
| Antispam | Enable Big Prop Protection | Programmatically blocks the spawning of oversized models that are known to trigger immediate physics lag. |
| Toolgun Options | Restrict Remover to Admin | Prevents unauthorized players from deleting world entities or other participants’ structures. |
Step 3: The Buddy & Collaboration System
FPP includes a specialized “Buddies” feature designed for cooperative building.Granting Individual Permissions
Granting Individual Permissions
If two players are collaborating on a single structure, they can use the FPP menu to grant one another specific “Buddy” permissions. This allows them to move, edit, or use each other’s props without granting these same dangerous powers to the general player base.
Automated Group Integration
Automated Group Integration
FPP can be configured to automatically recognize members of the same ULX Group or DarkRP Organization as buddies, facilitating smooth team-based construction.
