Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Bad King Urgrain]

This is the current in-dev situation with the Launcher:
- Less singular sound, and much shorter range in which it is audible.

- "Bullets" are the same, but the spread cone is smaller.

- Left click is the same.

- Right click charges, with a maximum force that's a little bit more than the left click fire. The real advantage is being able to push people shorter distances when you want them in a hole. I just make it a little stronger when fully charged 'cause that's what people will expect.

- No punishment for keeping it charged fully up. The downside of it is that you have to fire that shot at some point (which may be noticed) and you're running around with the launcher out (again, rather visible). And there's no significant upside.


PS. Just going to link my post on v9 because it's easily missed at the end of last page.

The object pushing seems to be broken.

Thoughts on increasing poltergeist ammo count?

You actually run out on ammo with it?

[Soduka]

Why yes, it is.

It seems to be broken for some people. Personally, I can't push any props. When I possess them the meter stays empty, and I can't leave the prop. Ctrl doesn't let me leave the prop. Yet I see people pushing props about in game from time to time.

[Secone]

It's been working fine for me. I've been pushing prop perfectly fine for the past couple days. Hell I did it just today as well

How often have you tried? Is this based on one or more occasions on one map, or longer term?

It is more likely there's a certain situation in which you can possess a prop and it won't work. The mechanism is almost entirely server-side, so it is unlikely to be specific to certain players.

Is there some commonality in the map, the prop used, etc.?

Actually, this is all on Soduka's server right? Were any changes made to the ttt_spec_prop_* convars?

I telefragged 2 innocents that were huddling in a corner. Was lovely.

[NaRyan]

I just had a small bug happen when I joined my server.
I joined at the exact same time the round started, so it spawned me into the game as an innocent.
However it had the time listed as Overtime instead of the usual 5 Minute countdown.

Probably a really rare bug, due to needing a player to join the game just as the round is starting.

As you can see from the server log I did join the exact same second the round started:

17:13:05 L 08/11/2010 - 17:13:04: "[MOGZ]Na'Ryan<47><STEAM_0:0:4164498><>" entered the game
17:13:05 L 08/11/2010 - 17:13:04: Round proper has begun...

[Bad King Urgrain]

Yeah, such things could be prevented by not letting you spawn unless you've been fully joined and loaded up for a few seconds. I prefer letting people play, despite the small chance of them lacking some relatively minor bits of information, such as the round ending time or the number of rounds left before a map switch.

I seem unable to fast weapon switch back to weapon_ttt_unarmed on v9.

Edit*

Seems to happen to several other items and weapons (Just items by the looks of things), this is with using lastinv.

Edit2*

Punch meter doesn't seem to fill up anymore (Haven't changed any cvars over v8)

[NaRyan]

I just had the Prop bug on my server (v9).
I was a box, but the punch meter was not filling up and I could not leave the prop when pressing CTRL.
Not modified any ttt_spec_prop_* stuff

Also when I got out of the box, by a player breaking it my view was stuck upside down until next round, and I had to press LMB to view a player before it reset.

Several maps, over several days of playing. The problem is still present for me in all props. If I press e on a person while spectating I get stuck on them like I would on a prop.

[Bad King Urgrain]

The fix for the prop possess bug is in the SVN. I made a dumb mistake when making the DNA scanner continue working while holstered, which meant it was only running certain code for player #1 including prop recharge (and things like drowning). Thanks for the reports.

I seem unable to fast weapon switch back to weapon_ttt_unarmed on v9.

(edit: Confirmed, it doesn't work when you don't have consecutive weapon slots filled.)
(edit2: Fixed in SVN)


RE: v9 release. Seeing as we've just found (and fixed) two bugs, I'm not going to do a release yet today. I would like it out for the weekend, so probably tomorrow.

[Marauder8]

I DO NOT HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING SERVER.

I think this needs a sticky to prevent any further confusion.

[NaRyan]

Couple of suggestions if they are possible.

1:Add a cvar that sets the prep time of the 1st round, so instead of the default 30 seconds it could be set to 45 seconds (or higher), just to give people who do not have the map, a small extra bit of time to download and join the game.
As it can get a bit boring sitting around for 5 to 12 minutes just because you were 5 seconds to late in joining.

2:When the ttt_print_traitors or ttt_print_adminreport is used have it logged to the server log, or an cvar to control it so only dead\spectator Admins can use it, just so when players start QQing about "Admin Abuse" with those commands, we can tell if it just the usual Traitor crying RDM for getting killed, or if an Admin has abused their power.

I like this idea a whole lot.

....You mean ttt_preptime_seconds?

Because it already exists.
