Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Bad King Urgrain]

SVN r962 adds file consistency checking, which results in the following tag additions/changes:
- ttt:modded_knife -- Shown if knife (held or thrown) has been modified.
- ttt:modded_game -- Shown if any game script other than the knife ones has been modified.
- ttt:vanilla -- Now also requires an unmodded game (besides no custom weapons + haste mode + karma).

Modified = different in any way. Someone could add a space to a knife script and it would count as modified. This is also not some sort of secure verification, anyone who mods the game could also mod the code that adds the tags. There's no benefit to that though.

Why don't you have a donation box?

"lol why are u taking donatititoins u won fretta cotnset greedy bicth"
"lol i donaet & now u not addin stuff anymore"
"lol i donaet and u cloes my thred"

etc.

Is there any flag that you can add on an entity to prevent them from being able to be picked up with the magneto stick?
I feel like there was, but I don't know what it is. But I could be completely wrong.

Also if you were to accept donations, I would most likely donate to you, but those are pretty valid reasons not to want donations.

ENT.CanPickup = false

Or a FVPHYSICS_NO_PLAYER_PICKUP gameflag on the entity's physobject (which is the standard Source method).

Accepting donations after the prize money he received is what I would consider pretty greedy.

[Raneman]

But he spent all his prize money on hookers and blow.

[JoTheShmo]

Accepting donations after the prize money he received is what I would consider pretty greedy.

As long as he's not specifically asking for them, I don't see how that's greedy at all.
I play this gamemode a lot, and host a server for it, so I definitely would want to support the game, and the only way I can is really through reporting bugs or donating. And I can't do the latter.

And BKU, do you think there could be a timer counting down until round start? I know there are several instances where players have done things that they normally wouldn't have if they knew the round was going to start in a few seconds.

And I see where that impression would come from, though it is inaccurate. If you divide the prize amount by the number of hours I've put in, I would've made far, far more money flipping burgers. And unless you're a real burger fan, that would've been of much less benefit to you.

It's a hassle to make that work for people who join partway through the preparation phase, etc. Not worth it when most players are managing well enough.

I don't know how you use the current round timers, but that works for people joining.
You could just store the time serversided and send it to players when they join or when the preparation phase starts.
I'm only pushing this because I've been getting requests to either add this (but I want to keep it vanilla) or ask you to add this for a long long time.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I realised I could reuse certain existing round timer things to do it without using additional resources, so it's making its way into the SVN now.

What was the command to make the voice chat icons on the bottom right instead of the top left again?

[Robin]

GM:Dontaskwhatyoudontknow='position.right'

[Bad King Urgrain]

There is a checkbox in the settings menu. If you're attached to convars, it's ttt_voicechat_topleft 0.

Thanks, that fixed it.  Couldn't access the menu on this Mac right now as all the F1-F15 buttons on it adjust brightness, etc.

[Bad King Urgrain]

F1 is bound to the concommand gm_showhelp, so that might also be useful.

[Firespray]

Thanks, going to bind that to another key. 

[JoTheShmo]

All you have to do is press the function key and then F1.

How do I stop the search body and c4 menus from popping up during a demo?

[Bad King Urgrain]

I never use demo files so I don't know, but I suppose there's one way that would require some Lua. You'd have to override the relevant usermessage hooks on the client with ones that do nothing.

[eeny]

Today I discovered that it is possible to use the magneto stick to carry an armed c4 around the map.

How it is possible, I am unaware, as the gentlemen who did the deed would not divulge their secrets, but I thought you should know.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Okay. I'll need an actual method before I can do anything about it though.
