Also, thanks to thelastlambda for editing some textures for me!

The discombobulator is called weapon_ttt_confgrenade, looks like a frag nade. It worked when I made de_dust weapon spawns earlier today for the guide I'll be posting tomorrow. Is there anything specific that happens when you place them?

There will be a new release tomorrow with an update to the tool addon, so it might fix itself then.

[C.Mong]

When I place it the discombobulator will sit anywhere: on a wall, on the ceiling, it just sticks. When I load up the map and play it doesn't show up. I looked in the .txt file created and the location for the discombobulator doesn't show up, just says "0.000 0.000 0.000" on all lines for "weapon_ttt_confgrenade".

[Ajunk]

Looks great.

[zoobird]

Uploaded it up on DNR.  Gonna try it later looks great.

Odd, almost sounds like discombobulator physics model isn't working. Do you have CS:S installed or are you using a compatibility pack?

One thing you could do is place smoke grenades where you want the discomb to be, and then replace "weapon_ttt_smokegrenade" with "weapon_ttt_confgrenade" in the text file.

First I'd just try it with the updated version that I'll be putting up in a bit.

[C.Mong]

^Seems my next purchase should be CS:S, no more of this rigging it to get it all working (even if it generally does work fine)

Anyway, quick update to the weapon script to be compatible with v201209, plus other script changes, no map changes.

b1b:

[li]updated the weapon script for compatibility with v201209[/li]
[li]added more weapons do to apparent complaints that "there isn't enough weapons/ammo". I don't want to hear any bitching. 372 placements is damn plenty.[/li]
[li]discombobulators fixed[/li]

Then what's the use in renaming the map to b1b?

[C.Mong]

Then what's the use in renaming the map to b1b?

When I did that I decided even if it's a script change it's a big enough change to warrant a name change, because I don't want anyone using the older script if they're going to be playing this map. I could have just as easily posted a link to an updated script, but I figure packing them together and just upping the version from a to b to show some sort of update has less of a chance of multiple versions of the script floating around unless people _really_ want to use the older one.

[FF|NedStar]

You'd force clients to re-download a 50 mb map, bit overkill if you ask me.
Generally server hosters will check map threads when they are updated.

[FF|NedStar]

Also another thing you have to be careful with when you rename maps. I believe it kills the cubemaps in a map if you rename it to something else then its original name. I'm unsure if this map uses cubemaps or if you ever recompiled it?

[C.Mong]

^I've recompiled it. Yes. I believe everything is fine there.

[C.Mong]

Alright, one more update today to the map. Medium sized one?

b2

[li]Completely new weapon placement, not as overwhelming[/li][li]

[li]ttt_random_weapon and ttt_random_ammo used in some spots[/li]
[li]Less weapons in more subtle but noticeable places. (no, you won't be without a weapon)[/li]
[/li]
[li]Vending machines no longer spawn soda cans, causing the server to lag when spammed.[/li]
[li]Some cosmetic changes, added props, large open street near train station now has vehicle props in and about it.[/li]
[li]Removed admin room(s) entirely, seeing as there is no need for it. Reduced file size by 2MB :3[/li]
[li]Removed Teleporter exits from admin room, useless.[/li]
[li]Player clips adjusted, added, and removed.[/li]
[li]Removed remaining health chargers and HEV suit chargers, as well as ammo boxes in gun shop.[/li]
[li]Also removed some HL2 world items. (Gravity Gun, Super Grav Gun, etc.)[/li]

I'll be working on the map still, and unless this one proves to be unstable I'm going to be doing some major work from here on out (which means less updates, but bigger changes).
I think I might want to add some sort of test chamber in the future.

[C.Mong]

This is a pretty significant update, fixes some map breaking bugs:

b3

[li]Removed riot shield in police department[/li]
[li]Disabled the vending machines I missed, they no longer spawn cans.[/li]
[li]Made some sliding doors open via touch due to weird bug where use wouldn't open them.[/li]
[li]Tweaked with some brushes.[/li]
[li]Removed a room that just seemed very useless. (to the left of the clinic in b2 and earlier.).[/li]
[li]Fixed roof/out of map exploit.[/li]
[li]Crowbars no longer open jail cells.[/li]
[li]Disabled bridge, bridge is now breakable.[/li]
[li]Alarms only sound when button is pressed, glass breaking no longer causes them to turn on.[/li]
[li]Changed skybox and light_environment.[/li]
[li]Made some prop_physics so spectators can mess with some more props.[/li]
[li]Used STOOL to place player spawns, added weapons/ammo in a few more spots.[/li]

Nooo, the riot shield D':. It was such a useful weapon.

[C.Mong]

If there's enough people asking for it back I'll put it back, but as it was it was able to glitch doors pretty well.

[C.Mong]

Alright! Here we go..

b4
-Night! Like everyone asked for. Skybox isn't beautiful but it works well I think.
-Lit streetlights.
-Added a vent above the garage to help prevent camping and a secondary access / exit.
-Added second entrance/exit to police station.
-Added a vent between both houses next to the hotel to help prevent camping.
-Put the riot sheild back due to popular demand.
-Scattered spawnpoints around the map, no longer use the STOOL tool for spawns.
-Explosive barrels near dock don't respawn constantly now.
-Removed all alarms.
-Removed another buildings interior.

The only major issue I'm having is the bushes don't seem to cast shadows, even though I tried multiple things to get it to work. I'll fix it in the next version.

[that guy]

woo! The riot sheild is back! :D

[Firespray]

If I may make a suggestion, there is this thing on garrysmod.org that alternates day and night.  That would seem awesome if it could work. Also my other suggestion is to add back alarm sounds only if a person clicks them.  This sometimes helps alert other plays to your position if your in trouble.

[C.Mong]

I might not do it firespray, I've never been a fan of unrealistic changing between night and day in video games. Rounds aren't long enough to make it realistic at all.

Anyway, next version will probably be out tonight or tomorrow sometime. Some nice changes too. and a few neat little surprises.
