Gm_ghosthunt 3 - Developers

[QUOTE=Breadman;42651125]Lots of testing happening today. It's looking real good![/QUOTE] I cannot wait to try it. You said it was designed with multiplayer in mind right?

Still chuggin'

Be awesome to get it out for Halloween.

Yes! This is fuckin' great! Gh1&2 were amazingly spooky. Looking very much forward to this. Still.

News soon. Edit: News is up on the site: [url]http://sarethen.weebly.com/[/url]

I remember Synergy being very difficult to get working. Hope it has improved. Here's to GH3's ever nearing release!

Is there no way to fix it for gmod? because synergy does not work for quite alot of my friends. I mean even if it has a few bugs in good. As long as they are not game breaking I'm sure it will be okay

Because gmod was running on the same engine synergy was for some time.

More info coming soonish. I've made my choice though I'm afraid. I have exhausted every option with Garry's Mod. Shame really.

If Synergy is the only way to defeat him, let it be so.

Garry's mod, why have you done this to such a nice little project?

I'm a developer. I'm running a clean canvas. No addons, with only Half-Life 2 and the Episodes installed and mounted. The map runs fine in Episode 2. It's completely broken in Garry's Mod. I've even loaded the map without custom content (And that took a while to sort out.) and it still doesn't work properly. The problems include but are not limited to : NPC's doing jack shit, weird lighting issues, doors don't work properly, horrific multiplayer lag and crashes. I've been testing it with Garry's Mod since day one and continually with the updates etc it's gotten worse and worse and now it's unplayable. I'm not blaming Garry's Mod and I'm not mad. I have been using Garry's Mod all this time because it is a a pretty decent multiplayer platform to develop for. Things change - big deal. Whom am I to compose their direction? The adverse effects on this map in Garry's Mod are reflected through my 'testers' who are close friends of mine. Ported it over to Synergy, runs fine. It runs as I would expect it to run with no issue. I kind of want to get this project done ya' know? I'm a busy man and the sooner GH3 is rolled out the better. I'm not going to re-code Garry's Mod. Neither am I going to hand the map out on a whim to anybody claiming they can fix it for me. I already ran over Halloween trying to get it working. I am now going to focus my energy into working with the Synergy team to get Ghosthunt 1, 2 & 3 released on their version of this platform.

I'd play it on Episode 2 if need be. [editline]9th November 2013[/editline] Also it's really not a good idea to develop single-player mods for Gmod anymore, what with half of the systems being broken and/or ported to LUA.

[QUOTE=Nightscout;42735172]I remember Synergy being very difficult to get working. Hope it has improved.![/QUOTE] It has, Synergy now uses Source 2013 and SteamPipe and requires almost no configuration on the client-side, but there's a lot of misinformation on how to set up dedicated servers, which is largely why it was difficult to get it working in the past. I'm planning on posting a full setup guide soon to clear up a lot of the confusion. The only 100% guaranteed to work guide on how to setup Synergy 2013 dedicated servers currently is at [URL="http://synergymod.net/Documents/Dedicated%20Servers"]http://www.synergymod.net[/URL]. Most people who tell you how to set up synergy servers don't know what they are talking about or are refering to what they did in an older version of the engine (i.e. Source 2005). P.S. No configuration is needed client side the steps are the same as Gmod 12 (if you've installed and run/played the games before do step 2 then skip to step 4): 1. download/install HL2 2. download/install Synergy 3. run hl2 up to menu then hit quit 3. run the games you want to mount in Synergy up to menu then hit quit(I.E. Ep1, Lost Coast,Ep2, Tf2, Portal, etc.) 4. start Synergy and hit Game list, select each game you want to mount and hit mount for each of them then hit OK 5. Restart Synergy and play. 6. If you don't have a game required for a map and that map is designed for synergy, then synergy will kick you from the game and tell you you don't have the required games, if so mount them.

It looks pretty cool, work on the textures though.

Holy shit, just played some Ghosthunt 1 and 2 in synergy, so fucking creepy.

Yeah, it makes it much more immersive when you can't spawn stuff doesn't it.

Still chuggin' (beer)

By no means do we want you to release before you feel like it's ready, but have you got any idea on an estimated window for putting it out there?

Soon (hopefully not valve time).

Wait, it's only been like a couple months since you first said we're nearly there? Feels like forever. :D

I swear dude your work is the stuff that made me really rethink lighting and design on my maps. Loved ghosthunt_2 so I can't wait to see this.

Hey guys, sorry for the silence. It's nearing Christmas and I've been so busy, I haven't really done much for the last 3 weeks in terms of mapping due to work and overtime etc. I'm hoping to be handing the map to the Synergy team very soon. When that happens you'll hear more.

That's ok, we still like you :)

*We still LOVE you
