Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Finparasite]

I honestly think that the survivors should have no idea who is alive or not unless they talk, or see the person/body.

We have been sugesting that alot, and tGB awsered that I woud be allmost inpossibe to do. Cause people coud just check the console to see who died, or something like that.

[eeny]

Hasn't this been described again and again as a limitation that can't be circumvented?

I thought that the idea was

"Make it so that you get no "blankidy has died!" messege, and then when you find a body there it is popping up."

whereas my idea is

"Scoreboard doesn't tell you shit."

Console just says when somebody dies, IIRC it doesn't tell you who.

I believe the silenced pistol should do bonus damage from behind on the first shot, like a 20% bonus.

Just so I can assassinate dumbname silently in a murder hallway over and over again.

You evil, heartless bastard.

I don't think you understand / have even bothered to read why it doesn't work, so I'll write the next line in italics. Using the intrinsic nature of LUA and gmod, any person with the right knowledge can find out who has died and there' is no way to stop this ever. I would, however, like it if they "someone died" message just didn't show up and mumbling was turned off.

But eh, I'll consider adding it.

Oh god, please.

The kick needs to be lowerd a tad.

Burst fire works miracles. MIRACLES.

I recently found when playing on Alters' server that ScriptEnforcer does block players from running their own Lua code* in the console (as well as in any autorun scripts).

Assuming ScriptEnforcer is not trivial to circumvent, that brings the concept (I'll refer to it as "death hiding" from now on) back into the realm of possibility. Of course, all current servers would have to be willing and able to run ScriptEnforcer as well. I want to know a bit more about both these things before I start getting positive about death hiding.

* Don't worry, I was just attempting to print the TTT version number without having to wait for a new round. Although considering how bad I am at the game I doubt anyone would accuse me of hacking.

[UnInvincible]

Awesome news nonetheless.

Sorry If this has been asked before, but I'm a little stumped. In Icarus I have started implementing blast doors, but crow baring them overrides them and opens them, how would I go about fixing this.

Cover them with func_button that is one unit thicker, set don't move flag and parent it to the door.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Added that solution to the mapping post.

Rifle does not seem to blow up barrels.

[edit]
Think it might be a downtown specific issue.

[edit2]
ok have a real one. you can toss nades through small brushes such as windows, closed doors, and walls.

[Edit3]
just tested this again and you can toss nades through significantly thick walls, I think it can only pass through a single brush but walls that are I'd assume around 50+ units did nothing to stop the nade.

[worbat]

I had the same problem on DM_island

[Bad King Urgrain]

You cannot damage explosives during the preparation phase.

edit:
I don't know about 50 units, but I was able to reproduce throwing a nade "through" the window of the antique shop in downtown if you put your face into it. That's fixed now.

[Ajunk]

Not like there's anything important in that shop anyway.

[worbat]

It wasn't, not this time.

Also this works with walls as well as doors.

[me]

Speaking of which, C4 doesn't seem to go through breakable walls, like the gun shop in Downtown.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I was able to do it with a wall on a server, but not in a local game with the fix applied. We'll see if it fixes all cases in practice.

As for the rifle vs barrel thing, it always works for me every time in whatever situation. Not much more I can do there.

Speaking of which, C4 doesn't seem to go through breakable walls, like the gun shop in Downtown.

Pretty sure that wall is scripted to only explode for a scripted event, nothing else can damage it.

[darkhazz]

i seriously think, that the killing at the end of the round sucks.

[JossiRossi]

the issue is not it blowing up but that damage does not pass through the wall.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Are we still talking about the C4? Because the damage that "passes through walls" is 100% positional, and no wall, surface or anything can affect it. If you're within X units you take damage Y based on how far away you are. It only affects players though, maybe that makes it look like it did not work.

[Rotinaj]

The walls which are normally breakable by ZM trap completely block the explosion of C4.
