Would it be possible to redesign the Investigation popup? Perhaps some simple icons to help speed up how the information is presented. Especially since there might be some more info given it could be a good time to consider some graphic work.

I did not miss the scoreboard requests. Patience. It is not trivial to do this due to the way the scoreboard works.

Unrelated question: has anyone tried the "mute living" key as spectator?

I've been waiting with this until the information shown in it stabilized a bit. It's starting to get to that point.

Icon stuff could work, and I have some ideas on how I'd redesign the popup to use them. However, gmod's autodownloading of non-code resources is a pain in the ass.

[RANT]
I can't just put stuff like icons in the terrortown directory, because that's inside /garrysmod/gamemodes/, and the gamemodes directory is restricted. So it has to go in /garrysmod/materials/. Where all I have to do to package a release right now is export my source repository into a .zip that people can extract into /gamemodes/, then I'd have to manually create one that can be extracted to the /garrysmod/ root directory.

HEY GARRY THIS FUCKING SUCKS. Allow gamemodes to add stuff from inside their own directory to the autodownload list. Problem solved.
[/RANT]

I could probably write some scripts to do this zip building for me, or just use a separate zip for non-code resources, but it's frustrating that I even have to waste time on such bullshit.

TGB, I tried the mute living as a spec button, and it works like a charm. There was a split second delay in both the muting and unmuting, but I am attributing that to lag currently.


It also helped me sort out an RDM complaint, so thank you very much on behalf of admins everywhere.

Send garry an angry email.

Good, I've made it a toggle with a HUD indicator for next version. There will always be a bit of delay for technical reasons (part lag, part gmod).

Send garry an angry email.

I believe garry has an entire forum available to him full of angry people.

[worbat]

Write him a sensible email?

Hey, I was just playing this after an exodus of a couple weeks (nothing deliberate, just hadn't had the time/inclination) and I must say that it has improved a lot.

I really like the way that now, say, three people can be left, with only one non-traitor, and that guy does not automatically say "Well it must be both of you" since he THINKS there are eight people still alive.

[Shadow_Archmagi]

Detective mode is sort of negated by

"EVERYONE ALIVE SAY I"

"I"
"I"
"I"
"Well I guess that means they burned six bodies and it's just us three"

A traitor item that allows you to send chat as other players would be really neat.

[Milo]

Yes, but it doesn't tell you who died that's traitor, or who is trying to fake their own death, or who is AFK.

[Shadow_Archmagi]

Yes, but it doesn't tell you who died that's traitor, or who is trying to fake their own death, or who is AFK.

I still think a "fake chat message' command would be really rad. Just imagine, before shooting anyone as a traitor, have them say "IF I DIE IT IS AJUNK"

[Milo]

Yes, and it would ALSO open it up to griefing. Repeatedly forcing people to say "I'm a faggot I'm a faggot I'm a faggot" would probably be the first thing people do before they start using any form of strategy. It MIGHT work if you could only force them to use the quick commands, while changing the name being used.

Traitor equipment.
Radio.

Allows traitors to type as other people.

Make it limited like everything Traitors use.

[worbat]

Has a varied cooldown of xx-yy seconds?

[Bad King Urgrain]

Not a fan of this idea.

doesnt always work, i've used that before then half way thru the round someone who didnt say "I" shows up alive.. and when people say that i normally keep my mouth shut. if the traitors think im dead thats awesome :D

[Marphy Black]

A fake radio wouldn't help much with people who primarily communicate with a mic.

[worbat]

"Hey ajunk why can't you talk"
"Parents home I'm meant to be working"


Real excuse!
