Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[darkhazz]

I played on the latest version and I never got that, I'll check again though

I don't know, i just tested it on Alters Server, maybe it's fixed already ^^

Has anyone noticed when you swing a crowbar it seems like its hitting 3 times very quickly?

[Ajunk]

JUST LIKE ZM!

if you're lagging it hits like 10 times.

the deagle is fucked. I shot someone in the head and they didn't even go down from healthy, next round i got one head shot and 2 bodyshots on someone in a row and they went down to wounded...after the 3rd.

[OctaneHugo]

And then the next round I picked up 2 deagle kills after using a crowbar and a shotgun to weaken targets.




Spent the whole round cooped up in there, got the shotgun after 2 kills. Secone, a fellow traitor, shot me when the round ended.

My two cents - just got back from playing several hours of this, and I've got to say it was everything I was hoping it would be. The air was rich with paranoia, with people randomly being killed all over the place for little reason and then even more people being killed by rampaging traitors.  So far as balancing goes, pistol's only a minor step above crowbar... perhaps a slightly faster firing rate would make it better. The desert eagle suffers from a really slow attack rate too making it terrible for firefights, but it's excellent for it's one shot kills to the head if you're a traitor. However, a shotgun does the exact same thing, expect is also useful in firefights. The rifle's nice, but perhaps it's just the nature of the gametype but there seems to be few legit reasons for an innocent to be toting around sniper rifle as their primary weapon - shotgun and Mac10 sure, you might need to defend yourself suddenly if some dude starts opening up on you, but sniper rifle's pretty ineffective for anything except taking people out who are not involved in a firefight with you.

As far as gameplay strategy goes, I've found one of the most effective innocent strategies is when you yourself being followed, run into an empty building that's a dead end that has no weapon spawns. If the person follows you in there too I have no remorse with killing them, since they've got absolutely no reason to be following me. I find it to be about a 2/3 to 3/4 success rate for killing terrorists, which by my book is an acceptable margin of error. Also, while having the person's general health status shown on mouseover is nice, it also can lead to a lot of misconceptions - there's a hole in Canyon where I often found myself falling down through and I'd take ~23 points of falling damage, then walk outside and immediately be gunned down on suspicion of being a terrorist.

As i mentioned before, you can get on pretty much every roof by using the magnetostick and a crate. I suggest to disable the collision of the carried prop with the player before the force takes effect.

Already on the list since you first mentioned it. I may have a few questions for you about the method used if I can't manage to reproduce it myself. I haven't had the opportunity to try yet.

Nope, it's not.

I haven't, but if it seems that way it will be purely cosmetic and probably lag-related, ie. you will not actually deal more damage, which in the end is the important part.

Small update:
- Made it impossible to pick up stuff you're standing on.

- Disabled footsteps while walking (ALT key)

- Disabled sprays for spectators

- Added ScriptEnforcer manifest. Server admins: read this and consider trying out "sv_scriptenforcer 1". If you are using custom Lua scripts for fancy server stuff (this probably includes certain Lua-based admin plugins), you will have to generate your own manifest. This is easy, just join your server and run a command, then upload the file. See the linked page for details.

Well I think I screwed that up somehow. I went to the server and generated the manifest. Added it, restarted the server and turned the sv on. However, the manifest isn't whitelisting all the scripts TTT uses and the game mode is screwed up when it's on.

[Soduka]

I haven't studied your mod very closely, or the ins and outs of gmod-mod creation, but would it be possible for you to build a plugin system into TTT so that others could simply add to it without having to modify the original files?

Like having the "terrortown" folder, and inside that a folder "plugins" where others could create scripts and such that could be hooked into by TTT automatically.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I suppose I could add a plugins.lua file that is included with TTT and empty by default, you could then use that to include separate scripts. However, it would probably work just as well to put such scripts in /lua/autorun/, which means they will be loaded automatically without any involvement of the gamemode. I believe you could override TTT code in that way.

[OctaneHugo]

Well, I dunno, I wasn't getting ANY damage with it. Might've just been a weird bug or something.

I have just one weapon request, though it is difficult and we don't have the materials for it. :(

I want a silent AND deadly melee weapon, a syringe filled with poison. Get behind someone, dead.

[Flaming Monkey]

It'd be better if when you stuck a victim with it it'd take a couple of seconds to take affect.  When the poison starts affecting the victim, the victim gradually takes increasing amounts of damage until he is dead.  The victim also wouldn't be able to tell he had been poisoned until the affects start.

It'd be kinda like a slow painful version of the spy back stab.

[OctaneHugo]

goddamn I was traitor twice in a row and both times my team sucked

[Shadow_Archmagi]

I got tratior and I beat secone to death with the crowbar while he typed "SHADOIW" as fast as he could but his team ignored his puny text.

Then my net died.

I got innocent and managed to kill traitor without taking a single point of damage.

Then my net died.


>:-(

Quality of play is seriously lacking tonight. The 12-year-old named "brother hood of the steel Knight" is better than 75% of the server. Random DMing is like a fucking rite of passage these days.

Would the main difference between this and some of the other silent melee weapon proposals be that this one is single use? Because that wouldn't be a bad idea.

I will post later today or tomorrow about some of my ideas with regards to traitor-only equipment (how it will work and what some of the equipment will be).
