Trouble in Terrorist Town - a GMod gamemode

[Bad King Urgrain]

SVN r910:

- Use sv_tags to automatically mark TTT servers with custom weapons (tag = ttt:custom_weapons) instead of adding asterisk to game description.
- Locational voicechat now disabled when round is not active, fixes issues with talking to spectators after a round when loc voice was on.
- Language files now load from GM.FolderName, no longer hardcoded.
- Fixed rare error when receiving a radiocommand from an invalid entity (somehow).

The tags are:
- "ttt" - On every TTT server, so anyone typing "ttt" in the tag box finds them. (Will probably add the version number to this later)
- "ttt:custom_weapons" - What it says, non-default sweps.
- "ttt:vanilla" - No custom weapons, karma enabled, haste mode enabled.

Suggestions for other tags are welcome. I will only add ones that I think are going to be useful to a decent number of players. So something that's actually annoying when browsing servers right now (eg. not a tag for postround DM).

I'm considering moving the version number from the game description to a tag entirely, much like the custom weapon marker. It stems from the time when manual upgrading was necessary, whereas now every server runs either the current version or a heavily modded older one (where version number is not as interesting). If you have a good reason not to do this, post it.

Does changing the knife's damage count as it being a custom weapon? I don't mind custom weapons on servers, but the servers with non-default knife damage should have a tag by itself if you ask me.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Not yet, because that requires file consistency checking to see if the knife script has been modified, which is a bit more involved than just checking which weapons exist and if they're one of the default set.

Consistency checks might be too slow in practice, not sure. It's on my list to experiment with.

I have noticed slight strange behaviour with TTT from svn r910
At the start of each preparing phase it updates the servers sv_tags.
Only seen it on my Fretta server since it has players on it, TTT server is empty at the moment.
However it keeps doing this at start of preparing phase.

09:48:29 L 03/12/2011 - 09:48:31: Round ended.
09:48:29 L 03/12/2011 - 09:48:31: Result: innocent win.
09:49:00 L 03/12/2011 - 09:49:01: server_cvar: "sv_tags" "FRETTA,Mogz,UK,garrysmod114,gm:pedobear,gm:terrortown,scriptenforcer,ttt,ttt:custom_weapons"

So acoring to that it is running 2 gamemodes. pedobear escape & TTT.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Here's what it does: get the value of sv_tags, remove any existing ttt tags, and (re-)add the ones that are appropriate.

In this case, everything before ",ttt," was already in your sv_tags before TTT touched it. I don't add anything like a gm:terrortown tag for example, that's done by gmod.

Perhaps gmod is late in updating sv_tags with the gamemode name in Fretta. So it still has it as gm:previousgamemode, then TTT appends its own tags and re-sets sv_tags with the old gamemode still in it. Then when gmod gets around to its sv_tags stuff it thinks that old gamemode part should not be removed for some reason and it only adds gm:terrortown. Maybe I should strip it out myself.

I'll do some testing, but not sure when I'll get around to it, so if you see it do something informative in the meantime let me know.

What about ttt:non_english_server?

[Bad King Urgrain]

Good idea, though I would make it ttt:french_language for example, where "french" is the server's default language name.

[Tommynator]

Do you know how can I take the physics gun on TTT? (to do some ragdoll posing on rdmers, before ban :D)

[Bad King Urgrain]

You would have to give yourself the "weapon_physgun" entity. This can be done with cheats on via the console ("give weapon_physgun") or perhaps via an admin plugin.

Did some testing. I'm seeing this for all gamemodes: switching from TTT to prop hunt and then to another gamemode, that left three "gm:gamemodename" tags in sv_tags. Seems like a gmod bug, or maybe it's intentional (to show all the gamemodes present on the server).

I did just implement something that strips the "ttt:" tags when a fretta vote starts (so they don't clutter things up when another gamemode is running).

[Bad King Urgrain]

SVN r943:
- Moved version number to ttt:vXX tag rather than having it in the server's game description. (eg. ttt:v25)
- Added ttt:language_ tag for servers running a non-english default language. (eg. ttt:language_french)
- TTT specific tags are now removed when a Fretta gamemode vote starts.

For those following the SVN: Garry has messed with the directory structure a bit. It's important to note that the SVN URL now looks like this:
http://facepunch.svn.beanstalkapp.com/gmodgame/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/

So where it said "trunk" before, it now says "garrysmod". This will confuse your SVN client. Depending on how you use the SVN you may have to modify some things or do a new checkout.

Thanks :D

Ironsights held to the side and the only primary weapons are mac10s?

Only a matter of time before cat wakes up and thinks "Hmm, TTT is fun. If only it had more shotguns."

[shutup9100]

and more dev textures.

Cat is a raging homosexual, like his lapdog Fifi

You guys are just jealous of Cat's many many girlfriends, because he's taking up the market, leaving you all lonely losers

Well, for one, props do twice as much damage and shoot rockets.

Why don't you have a donation box?

[Marauder8]

Because donators feel like they deserve something, IIRC.
