Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Darkest_97]

The poltergeist doesnt shoot props far anymore, ive heard it was gmod problem.

Have you though about implementing detective chat?

What is the maximum minimum safe distance for c4?

That is all.

[Killroy]

About 1000 feet for C4, I think?

[Darkest_97]

No ive survived in like 600 i think, its definitely less than 1000.

[Sly]

In general, I'd say that 1000+ you're unshaken, 1000-750 you're undamaged, 750-500 you're damaged, 500-0 you're dead.

At around 600 units you won't take damage through walls. If you have direct LOS to the bomb it will be further. At 1000 you're pretty much completely safe.

I'll look at the poltergeist.

Detective chat will result in detectives only chatting to each other about anything they find, leaving the innocent out of the process and making it more boring for those players.

Remember when you said this a while ago?  Just to remind you if you still had thoughts about it because, well that sounds fun for spectators.

A plan B I'm considering is using this for some sort of spectator whiteboard they can scribble things on and entertain themselves with.

Shelved. Too big a feature, it would be an application-in-a-game. Since then I've moved things more towards rounds being shorter.

On that note, I'm planning to turn on Haste Mode by default, as well as the low-karma autoban. Things are moving forward with regards to TTT shipping with gmod, and I think those settings are better defaults for both Fretta servers and new TTT servers.

Could you clarify what you mean? It seems to be working fine when I test it. Richland container/cars fly as far as they always have.

Oh man, detective chat would be so great. I get tired of trying to talk over people just to talk to my fellow detective sometimes.

Messed around with the teleporter. It's now faster (2 instead of 3 seconds frozen), much less noisy, more ammo (8 -> 10 teleports), and the effect is a little more subtle/nicer (pic 1, pic 2).

RE: detective chat. Eh, I'll do a teamchat.

Thank you very much, now maybe it'll be more useful, perhaps rival the effectiveness of the other traitor equipments..

Edit, as far as telefragging goes, I telfragged someone, and then had to teleport again to get around my pursuers, only to be killed by the unmoved corpse of the person I telefragged before. Is this intentional?

[Killroy]

That effect is really really nice.

Not intentional, corpses shouldn't kill you, it's now fixed.

We were on ttt_office and were shooting at boxes, Usually the boxes would go flying across the map, but they went like half of the distance. Ill try it again. Someone said it was a gmod problem.

Also, this is probably the same issue, and i know this happens for a fact. The shotgun, and probably other weapons dont really push props like they used to. The shotgun used to send a barrel flying, now it rarely knocks it over. Did you do that or is it gmod?

[Marauder8]

Does anyone know what would cause this problem with the mic chat icons(they aren't displaying names).

*EDIT* Nevermind this was caused by the Gmod update.

The shotgun thing might be separate. It might be caused by me fixing the damage mechanics of the guns. Previously they probably pushed things further than they should. I'll look into it.

First I may have to do some damage control for the update, it looks like.

edit:
Actually everything seems in order. There was a second update with interface fixes, so that seems to have fixed the voice indicators.

I've increased the bullet physics force for next version, so guns will have a bit more pushing power again. I haven't found any issue with the poltergeist behaviour.

Lol that cause there is nothing wrong with it and im an idiot. I mean the newton launcher, it dosnt seem to push things really, i havent gotten a chance to test it again.

[Bad King Urgrain]

That one's only meant for pushing players.

[Darkest_97]

But it used to launch props so fast that you could kill people with them which was awesome. And its not like it makes the polter useless because of it. Did you change it or what?
