Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

Yeah I used to, but I switched from SM+ULX to just Evolve.

Define spamming. There is already a delay on the radio commands.

Playing the same radio command over and Over. Maybe limit to 3 of the same, then a different radio command? So ttt_radio traitor will be understood, and theyd switch to help lol. Or whatever.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Do any of the Lua admin plugins handle normal chat spamming of that sort? Would be convenient if I could replicate their approach, or even integrate with it.

[JoTheShmo]

I'm not sure, but I coded my own.

It basically will give every player a set number of time that they are allowed between chat messages.
If they say the same thing twice in a row within a certain amount of time, then their time will be lengthened by X amount.
Then every 10 seconds, their time will be lowered by Y (smaller than X) until it is back to the default.

[Bad King Urgrain]

I think I'll just add a serverside hook that's called when the server receives the radiocommand, which lets you return true to prevent the command from being sent on to the players. This should be sufficient for cooking up any kind of limitation.

[JoTheShmo]

Alright, awesome!

[Raneman]

Could we limit the number of simultaneous C4s? I'm in a server where there are up to 7 traitors, so, provided the team is crazy enough, there's somewhere between 9-14 c4s at the start of each round on some maps. I play TTT for finding traitors, not an endurance test of trying to survive a mass bombing. 45 seconds can't pass without an explosion.

The game wasn't designed for much more than 16 players.
If you choose to run it with more than that, you choose to ruin the balance.

I was thinking the same, 32 players is a hell of a lot. Mines 20, for a reason :|

I doubt BKU will implement this, since he has 16 players in mind, I don't think he'll cater for 32.

[Darkest_97]

I'd really rather not be limited in planting c4s based on other people's c4s.

[phoenixf129]

As would I, it seems rather limiting, other people could have planted in a stupid place.

[CrazyChicken]

Or planted one C4 for 20 minutes.

[Bad King Urgrain]

All of the above applies, basically. If someone insists on a 32 player server they may have to mod some things, because they'll run into very different balance issues than servers with lower playercounts. And this one is rather difficult to solve, for reasons that have been posted.

I've discovered a minor bug. If a box of ammo is right next to a health station, the health station wont work until you move the ammo box away. When I say right next to a health station, I mean touching it, or very close to touching it.

Hey guys, I just saw the new quick-chat animations today >.<

Could someone please tell me which binds = animation?

I.E: "Yes" = Wave
     
And so on.

[Bad King Urgrain]

SVN r878:
- Made Health Station easier to +use when ammo is lying near it.
- Added serverside hook TTTPlayerRadioCommand(ply, cmdname, cmdtarget). Return true from hook to prevent command from being sent.

I've discovered a minor bug. If a box of ammo is right next to a health station, the health station wont work until you move the ammo box away. When I say right next to a health station, I mean touching it, or very close to touching it.

This weird behaviour is caused by Source/gmod's +use being weird. The ammo has a larger (invisible) bounding box so you can pick it up easily, but it also causes it to "catch" your use key presses, thinking you're trying to +use the ammo. Seems there's no way to prevent this that won't affect other stuff.

I've made the health station's bounding box large so it's easier to +use (you won't have to point exactly at the station anymore), and the ammo's a little bit smaller so it interferes less. That's all I can do.

yes = thumb up
no = finger waggle

alivecheck = circle motion with hand

Just noticed this when I joined my server (using TTT from r878)

[terrortown\gamemode\cl_voice.lua:400] attempt to call method 'AnimPerformGesture' (a nil value)

It's shown client side, no errors in server console.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Not seeing it when I test (both listen and dedi server). You may have to update the gmod Lua/binaries to the SVN version if you're running the 112 ones.

Or just wait for 113, which is apparently coming out in a few hours.

[NaRyan]

Ahh it only done it once as I joined.
I think it was right at the round end/Round start point.

So it might just have been a little bug with me joining at the exact point it went from round end to prep stage.

Also would it be possible to add some sort of colour to the radio messages?
As players have started making key binds to say playerx is a traitor. (due to them thinking it's fun or they don't like that player for whatever reason)
And it has at times caused that player to get killed.

Granted it really just comes down to players not paying attention, and believing everything they read.
But at times we do seem to get a few players in TTT who seem to have really low IQ...
