Just Thought I Would Point Something Out...

Just because coolz said that the gamemode would have to be severely tweaked in order for some updates to be added as suggested, doesn't mean that people can't make a suggestion. If someone can make a really good suggestion that everyone agrees on and is possible to make, I'm pretty sure it will still be considered.
(I don't want people to get the impression that they can't make a suggestion because of that post... it can still happen I'm sure. I'm also not saying what coolz can or can't do, I don't know much of that shit, but it just seemed like that blunt lock of the thread and the message kind of came across as "don't make suggestions coolz won't add them" and I don't think that's the kind of message anyone wants to be giving.)

Well, as long as we're in a mood of being straightforward:

Magic, stop locking threads when they don't need to be locked. Please.

Code: [Select]
---- Example TTT custom weapon

-- First some standard GMod stuff
if SERVER then
   AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
end

if CLIENT then
   SWEP.PrintName = "F2000"
   SWEP.Slot      = 2 -- add 1 to get the slot number key

   SWEP.ViewModelFOV  = 70
   SWEP.ViewModelFlip = false
end

-- Always derive from weapon_tttbase.
SWEP.Base = "weapon_tttbase"

--- Standard GMod values

SWEP.HoldType = "ar2"

SWEP.Primary.Delay       = 0.08
SWEP.Primary.Recoil      = .8
SWEP.Primary.Automatic   = true
SWEP.Primary.Damage      = 15
SWEP.Primary.Cone        = 0.015
SWEP.Primary.Ammo        = "ar2"
SWEP.Primary.ClipSize    = 30
SWEP.Primary.ClipMax     = 50
SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip = 30
SWEP.Primary.Sound       = Sound( "weapons/mw2_f2000/galil-1.wav" )

SWEP.IronSightsPos = Vector( -3.4375, -4.8219, 1.1775 )
SWEP.IronSightsAng = Vector( -1.1046, -0.1484, 0 )

SWEP.ViewModel  = "models/weapons/v_mw1_galil.mdl"
SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_rif_famas.mdl"


--- TTT config values

-- Kind specifies the category this weapon is in. Players can only carry one of
-- each. Can be: WEAPON_... MELEE, PISTOL, HEAVY, NADE, CARRY, EQUIP1, EQUIP2 or ROLE.
-- Matching SWEP.Slot values: 0      1       2     3      4      6       7        8
SWEP.Kind = WEAPON_HEAVY

-- If AutoSpawnable is true and SWEP.Kind is not WEAPON_EQUIP1/2, then this gun can
-- be spawned as a random weapon. Of course this AK is special equipment so it won't,
-- but for the sake of example this is explicitly set to false anyway.
SWEP.AutoSpawnable = true

-- The AmmoEnt is the ammo entity that can be picked up when carrying this gun.
SWEP.AmmoEnt = "item_ammo_pistol_ttt"

-- CanBuy is a table of ROLE_* entries like ROLE_TRAITOR and ROLE_DETECTIVE. If
-- a role is in this table, those players can buy this.
SWEP.CanBuy = {  }

-- InLoadoutFor is a table of ROLE_* entries that specifies which roles should
-- receive this weapon as soon as the round starts. In this case, none.
SWEP.InLoadoutFor = nil

-- If LimitedStock is true, you can only buy one per round.
SWEP.LimitedStock = false

-- If AllowDrop is false, players can't manually drop the gun with Q
SWEP.AllowDrop = true

-- If IsSilent is true, victims will not scream upon death.
SWEP.IsSilent = false

-- If NoSights is true, the weapon won't have ironsights
SWEP.NoSights = false

-- Equipment menu information is only needed on the client
if CLIENT then
   -- Path to the icon material
   SWEP.Icon = "VGUI/ttt/icon_myserver_ak47"

   -- Text shown in the equip menu
   SWEP.EquipMenuData = {
      type = "Weapon",
      desc = "Example custom weapon."
   };
end

-- Tell the server that it should download our icon to clients.
if SERVER then
   -- It's important to give your icon a unique name. GMod does NOT check for
   -- file differences, it only looks at the name. This means that if you have
   -- an icon_ak47, and another server also has one, then players might see the
   -- other server's dumb icon. Avoid this by using a unique name.
   resource.AddFile("materials/VGUI/ttt/icon_myserver_ak47.vmt")
end



This relies on a model I got from the toybox. I could always zip them up.


This is easy to write, and it makes a weapon which relies on weapon_tttbase.
If we make the weapons with different qualities but still balanced (in which I could help, with community influence), then it would be simple to implement and upkeep.

The appeal is that it would be something rare to find these new weapons, since the only way for them to spawn would be if they are enabled in random spawning entities, and then it would have to win from all the other guns. That would make it fun to find one, even if they are lesser guns than the ttt default weapons.

We talked with coolz about this: hes gonna do a bit of research and get back to us.


EDIT: Also, to add the weapon to the game you would put it in garrysmod/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons

Not making suggestions

More suggesting things that coolz doesn't have the time to do?

I'm okay with adding things, but if he doesn't want to do it then I see no point?

I'll fix the blunt-ness

Still, I'm sure that if coolz sees a good opportunity to update with some suggestion that he agrees with that he will do so. There's always a solution, I don't think that TTT is going to for ever have normal old weapons and the same stuff all the time.

He can do whatever he wants, it's his servers :o

I'm just trying to stop you suggesting things that may never get added?

I'll unlock it again (when I get to a pc) if you really want, just take note that it'll be a waste of dear time :0

Na I just didn't want people to get the impression that they can't suggest anything for TTT because nothing will be added.

Well then, maybe you can leave locking it to coolz or at least letting coolz see it before you lock it, it's his servers :o

I'm just trying to stop you suggesting things that may never get added?

I'm just trying to stop you locking things that never have a chance to be looked at by coolz?


I know I sound like a douchebag, but seriously unless coolz told you to decide what has a chance to be reviewed to be added, then you shouldn't really be the judge of that.

After all, when was the last time you even played on rNd servers for more than 2 minutes? 0.4 Hours speaks for itself if you ask me, especially if most of those 24 minutes probably aren't even on rNd.

0.4 Hours speaks for itself if you ask me, especially if most of those 40 minutes probably aren't even on rNd.

actually

0.4 of 60 minutes

0.1 of 60 minutes = 6 minutes

only 24 minutes.

Also, @magic:
"I'm just trying to stop you suggesting things that may never get added? "

Just because something may never get added, doesn't mean it should be rejected completely.

Which, by the way, you would make an awful US congressman. [/politics joke]

I have a life, I'm out and about doing things where possible, and I'd love to play again if I could :c

A majority of other TTT servers have A LOT of additional equipments for both the Detective's sides and the Traitor sides...I'm saying about at least 3 new weapons for each sides.

It'd be awesome if there will be progress on upcoming new weapons for TTT :D
