Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Firespray]

Noticed a small glitch, when you try to first person spectate a prop, well you do spectate it. But you also see the push o meter, does nothing however. Is this intended or just some minor error? I just press R on a prop and see it through "prop eyes" I guess.



EDIT: I just noticed you can do the same thing with corpses

[Bad King Urgrain]

I'll add a check if the target is a player for the first person mode.

Could you possibly have the traitor's c4 indicator update when innocents miss and it goes down? Because it doesnt update.
And ive gotten killed the other day distracting people around the c4, then some innocent starts to disarm it and not tell anyone. So it has like 15 seconds left and BOOM and i die by my own c4.

May I just say, this gamemode is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. I love playing it on my server and so do ALOT of other people. I've made a few of my own modifications, such as using a better derma skin other than the default and I also added a map vote system as well as an RDM protection system.

If you would like to add my server to the first post list of servers, here is the info:

Again, thanks for the AWESOME gamemode. Everyone in my server loves it :3

Good to know we've got another server, man.

But if you want a server thread, you gotta go ahead and make it yourself.

RDM protection system.

I must ask, what exactly is this "RDM protection system"?

[Ajunk]

Hey tGB, could you not deduct points from a traitor who's c4 kills another traitor. It's really out of their hands and, especially with the c4 icon, really not their fault.

[UnInvincible]

So how many TTT servers are there now? When I counted last weekend there were like 14. I love how fast this gamemode has grown.

[Chief Tiger]

Well, basically, if someone is innocent, and they kill 2 or more innocents, the last innocent they kill has the option to ban them for 5 minutes.

I'm still working out kinks, like if a player is attempting to RDM another player and ends up failing, then they get the option to ban THAT player because they already had 1 innnocent kill, which is totally BS. I'm working on it still, but I've got the basics done.

This system was based off of Halo's TK boot system, where if you TK too much you can get booted by the last person you TK.

The problem is, what if an innocent is tricked into killing a whole bunch of people. I do that... well I used to do that back when people actually trusted me.

Anyways, is it 3 people within the same round or 3 people total? Assuming the former, it does kind of send the message "it's ok to kill 2 innocents" or something.


EDIT: Just curious, how popular is ttt within the scope of gmod? I just use my favorite servers and never bother looking at anything else.

Don't get tricked ;) I always wait for solid evidence before I shoot at someone as an innocent.

It's only 2, and it's per round. So if you kill 1 innocent, then you don't get banned. But if you kill 2 then every person you kill after the second one (including the second one) has the option to ban you for 5 minutes (if the second person you kill presses no, that is).

Me too, my favorite being mine :3

[JossiRossi]

As of writing this there are:

1686 Gmod servers

19 TTT Servers
7 Populated TTT Servers
103 TTT Players

Wow...

TTT is currently the second most popular mod based on player count, being beaten by DarkRP.
TTT is currently third most popular based on servers with DarkRP and SB3 (which is at 9).

Some gamemodes do allow up to 40 players so there could be another mod which outranks TTT with 3 full servers, but just by looking briefly it seems TTT has made quite a splash.

[Secone]

it was made by tGB, he makes awesome things

Thanks, and added to the list.

True, I'll see what I can do.

I don't think it's found its way into the facepunch hivemind yet, for one. I try to keep tabs on all places where TTT is discussed in case there are useful comments that don't find their way here.

[Ajunk]

TTT development does operate in a pretty obscure place.

EDIT: New board, eh? That was fast.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I just moved it, two clicks.

Anyway, last release for '09 is up, barring urgent bugs.

Something about the radio that I think will come up, so I might as well address it now: The radio control could easily be made more extensive, with sound delay sliders and dropdown boxes with large selections of sounds. I decided not to do this to avoid unnecessary complexity that makes it hard to learn and hard to use in a practical setting. Instead I've put a bunch of buttons for the most useful sounds in there that just do the right thing with regards to delays, bursts, etc. The downside is that you cannot perform your Alyx/Barney slashfic radio play in the game.

[Chief Tiger]

I'm going to wait until a major update before I update past the "BKU is dumb" update. True, there are bugs and things not explained, but I don't feel like comparing code for hours to update it.

Oh the consequences of good editing :P

[Bad King Urgrain]

I was expecting issues there considering my updating schedule. I don't necessarily do major updates as such, though I suppose you could just take a few normal updates and call it a single big one.

One way to merge updates relatively painlessly is an automated three-way merge, using the version that your edit is based on (v201209b I suppose) as what wikipedia calls the "parent". By comparing your changes to v201209b with my changes since that version, things can be merged automatically for the most part. I don't want to get into specifics here, just putting the concept out there because I wish I had known about it back when we manually merged entire Source SDK updates for Zombie Master.

[Erscheinung]

I feel the sound of a burning body and the c4 beeping noise would be great additions to the radio.

[JossiRossi]

I'd love to frame people by placing the radio near someone with say a mac10, have the gunshots go off, a scream, then the burning body noise. Try to explain that one away =p
