Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Firespray]

So is a giant container that is being lifted down and someone is under it and it hits their head first.

The current problem of traitors unable to hear other traitors over innocents using their mic could be solved if it's possible for voice chat to distinguish between right and left speakers.  When traitor, all innocent voice chat comes in the right speaker and all traitor chat comes in the left speaker.  Something to that effect.

[Ajunk]

I think it would be neat if pressing traitor voice chat muted all innocents.

[Gamerofthegame]

That might not be good, though, as you might miss something really important...

[Ajunk]

Since when do you talk and listen to innocents at the same time?

[Bad King Urgrain]

It seems to me like it's preferable to use text chat when communicating important things. Much harder to miss for other traitors.

Muting the innocent for people hearing your traitorchat is not possible.

[Ajunk]

No, I meant mute all the innocents for you when you press the traitor chat button. Guess I didn't make that clear.

[JoTheShmo]

It think you should save 2 scores instead of one, one for "negative" points, and one for normal points. This way, if someone is really rdming a bunch of people, but also has enough decent kills to remain positive, you can still tell that they have lost a lot of points.

Or do something like this:
                         score                        innocent killed             traitor's killed
DNR| That guy         17                             3                                        2

Does not strike me as useful enough to be worth the effort. You can probably approach this using creative keybinds and ttt_mute_team.

People like this will have bad karma.

I'm not going to dump a heap of numbers on the scoreboard. Points are an abstract reflection of how someone is doing. I really don't see the need to complicate it just to help players identify assholes. They are pretty easy to spot.

Yeah, it did seem kind of dumb after I finished posting it.

How about just having innocents and traitors be able to mute living? Just like when your a spec.
So someone cant be like, he wasn't listening so he must be a traitor.
The way i see it couldnt hurt.

[JoTheShmo]

Also, I was thinking you could use voice_recordtofile to create one file for ever player of their last microphone input. Then, if they were killed in the middle of speaking, when you searched their corpse and pressed a button, it would play back their last words.
If that's possible... It would be amazing.

And possibly when someone dies you could have the weapon they were last carrying shown; sometimes you see a bunch of people killed with x, and you're not sure who killed them, or if one of the corpses killed the others.

There's a checkbox for this in the settings panel, and the underlying concommand can be bound to a key as well (see previous post).

Well, players drop their guns on death, so you can already tell. The problem is that guns get catapulted too far sometimes, not sure why GMod does that. I consider that a bug and will see if it can be fixed at some point.

Well i know that but if you really cant hear then you have to bring up settings, check the box, close settings, then talk. Then you have to do the same thing if you want to hear innocents again.
I was just saying having a button to do it anytime easily would be nice, it is already coded for anyway.

Or you can open up console, bind that function to a key (like mouse wheel, like I have) and get on with your life.

[Bad King Urgrain]

As I said, you can already bind it. The built-in bindtoggle command will work, so to bind it to the "i" key for example, you'd use:

bindtoggle i ttt_mute_team_check

Then you press "i" to mute innocent, and press it again to unmute.

[Qloos]

BKU, Unless you hold my hand, bind it for me and explain to me what button I have to press at a 4th grade level.  Then you have failed your duty as a developer.

[JoTheShmo]

Not possible.

Enable voice_recordtofile, as it records to a file on the client, and every time they let go of their mic button, empty that file.
If they die while holding down their mic button, send the file to the server and clients and play it to clients when they click the button.

Only problem there is that it records wave files, meaning no compression, meaning massive file size.
