Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Ajunk]

No.

With more players means more traitors and, if you want it that way, more flares. It's fair how it is.



Also, tGB, any way you could set the default round limit to 15 minutes? That'd be super-cool.

I can change the default, but for existing servers the old limit will already be stored in their cfg. This is because I thought "hey it'll be convenient if all these convars are saved automatically so I'll enable that for all of them," but then only later I realized "oops need to balance them." So servers need to change it themselves.

[Ajunk]

Argh!
Well thankfully there's like 3 servers but still,
Argh!

[Erscheinung]

I'll be setting my server to 15 minutes later tonight. Unfortunately for some reason I can't do it now as my FTP appears to be broken.

[worbat]

Other way round? maybe.

[Firespray]

I noticed when your selecting a flare gun in the traitor menu it says 3 shots only.  When you actually get, you have 4 shots.  Typo I guess.

[Secone]

I think the mumbling thing should be re-added, but only for 2-3 seconds after dying. It gets annoying when you say "I'm with Marauder8" and then he knifes me and no one will have a clue that I had died right after saying that

Wouldnt that kind of kill detective mode knowing who alive and who is dead by mumbling?

[Sands]

Couple of ideas if you want to take it in or not but;

[li]With the detective mode you could look at a gun and investigate it to find out who's had possession of it. [/li]
[li]I don't know if you could do this but investigating blood spatter and see who the blood belongs too...[/li]

Just bouncing them off of you for consideration, they might be detrimental in the long run so I'm not sure.

Is that shorter or longer? Hopefully shorter seeing how rounds seem to drag on forever when traitors just dick around.

I'd like a way to mark people off of the tab menu into MIA while alive (a manual thing, not an automatic thing). I've had times when you need players to sound off, but you can't keep track of who is dead. If possible, make it so it automatically puts them back into alive if they speak or something.

[Ajunk]

15 minutes is the perfect length, down from 20.


Sands, I think your detective ideas are cool (well blood is client side and would be hard to make work if not impossible), but possibly they make it too hard for the traitors to infiltrate. We want traitors to be more sneaky, not just kill more.

Which leads me to another point: the silenced pistol needs some kind of update. As of now, it's really really hard to use because people know to look for it if you're nearby, and people can instantly tag you if they see you at a distance. While I'm not saying it's useless, I am saying people have gotten to wise and it needs to be made less detectable. While some might say an upgrade is the last thing the traitors need, I argue that you're only leveling an option of power to the same as the others.

Another point, the knife throw is really slow and picky about who it hits. Suffice to say, it's not very useful at all. The only situations throwing might work are situations where stabbing would too. Just saying, if you're plan was to make it useful, it isn't. If it's a neat joke though (which I think it is), obviously disregard this.

Actually, it'd be really cool if anyone who hasn't spoken in, say, 5 minutes is marked MIA.

Sort of a

"Hey, hey John Brindle, you there? John? Oh shit guys I think he's dead."
"Hey guys I'm back from the toilet"

[Marauder8]

Yeah, some problems with the knife.

I was standing behind someone and wanted to take them out quickly. So I took out my knife and threw it at their back. It bounced off their back and I caught it again.

For some reason I think this is absolutely hilarious.

[FBC]

You obviously had a rubber knife.

[Sands]

I had some issues with the knife. So now, I just use the flare gun for chaos inducing fun.

[eeny]

So here are some suggestions that i thought of today, feel free to disregard them as they are likely terrible.

- When shot, have people bleed for a little while, I don't know the specifics of how to do this, I know tanner coded a bleeding function into his Athena mod, but don;t know if it would be possible in Gmod.

- I would like to see when the gun was last fired if ever, when it's on the ground or picked it, the addition of weapon information could be used to supplement info we don't have.

[Ajunk]

People usually ammo count to see if guns have been fired. Bleeding would be neato.

Yeah but thats highly innacurate, I myself have been ammo counted alot and usually have just picked up enough ammo to make it seem like it has never been fired.
