Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[hayhay89]

Ok fair enough.

As I posted in another thread, the latest SVN adds ttt_fretta_mapvoting, set to 1 to make fretta votes skip the gamemode part and only work as a map vote.

If you test this on your server, let me know how it goes. I'd like to make sure it's bug-free in time for whenever the next gmod update is, because it should be rather useful to many servers.

(If you notice that the SVN commit message calls it "ttt_fretta_mapvote": that's a typo, it's mapvoting.)

There needs to be a way for traitors to temporarily lock doors, would make incendiaries more interesting.

Enabled now will test ;)

Edit :
Also a option so its not everyround just at end of map or something.

Updates now in SVN:

Added secondary fire to Poltergeist: charged shot for longer range.
Added highlights/awards based on player's time of death.
Added glow to possessed props, only visible to spectators.
Switched Teleporter buttons, primary now teleports.
Fixed chatmessage that said "voted to change gamemode" even when ttt_fretta_mapvoting was on.

The Poltergeist secondary charge-up works like a mix between binoculars and newton: when targeting something for which the beam is yellow (out of range for primary fire), you hold right mouse while keeping your aim on the target. As soon as the charge meter is full, it fires. So you can't charge it up beforehand, the idea is you have to expose yourself to fire these long range shots.

The new awards are:
- Pyrrhic Victory: player dies just before his team wins the round.
- I Hate This Game: player dies right after the round starts.

Add a award for spectator kills! "Death after Death". For someone who's a prop, and slams someone to hell!

[Charles445]

That's probably not something to be encouraged.

I don't like trying to knife somebody only to realize my body has gone limp due to a milk carton.

Lastest Svn

[terrortown\gamemode\cl_awards.lua:744] attempt to compare nil with number
*

randomly get this and the Score board wont close and theres no text on there.
So maybe a glitch with the new awards?

[Bad King Urgrain]

Should be fixed now in SVN.

Latest version also includes better ragdoll carrying. You can grab bodies by their limbs again, and they won't drop if you move too quickly. Those measures were no longer necessary, because I found a different way of preventing long-range ragdoll throwing.

[hayhay89]

I uploaded the lastest svn and it seems allright and i see you stopped how u stopped people from throwing bodies But the body carrying seems pritty glitchy thay tend to spazz and stuff.

[Bad King Urgrain]

In my testing the limbs may wiggle a bit after you drop them, but nothing crazy.

[hayhay89]

Ive notice if u move your mouse really fast they tend to fling out a fair way and by releasing the mouse button you could probably get body's in places they shouldn't be.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I don't think so. We'll see what people manage to do.

edit: (It only needs to prevent reliable throwing. If a throw only works rarely it will not be a useful strategy in practice due to the risk of being seen while you're trying to throw it repeatedly.)

[hayhay89]

well i have managed to fling bodies a few times so its not completely fullproof yet but we will see what they can do with it.

[Ajunk]

Not knowing how to code in Garry's Mod myself, I wonder if it's possible to code the magneto stick to freeze then unfreeze the carried body when it lets go of it, effectively removing any unwanted speed the body might have.

[phoenixf129]

Or set the velocity to 0, i definately know thats possible.

That is what it does right now. It motion-disables the ragdoll for an instant. Zeroing the velocity is what it did before, but stuff like inertia made that not work. "Freezing" it seems to properly take out all movement.

I was completely unable to get the body to fly off in my testing. It just falls to the ground as you'd expect. I don't know how hayhay89 managed to make it do anything else, perhaps there's some Source physics glitch having an effect.
