Split Screen!

[hentie]

I usually have relatives over, and my relatives usually have kids, and instead of watching me play Garry's Mod the kids want to play too. I made this for the kids, so that they'd be able to play Garry's Mod with me or if two of them wanted to play Garry's Mod.

Currently works for both Garry's Mod beta, and regular Garry's Mod. Though beware, the beta version squishes the screen for some odd reason, and the regular version has some artifact errors due to, I guess, the FOV.

Other problems for the splitscreen person:
Major glitch out when you enter a vehicle.
Cannot rotate and object with the physgun.

Concommands to bind:
+ss_forward
+ss_back
+ss_moveleft
+ss_moveright
+ss_jump
+ss_attack
+ss_attack2
+ss_duck
+ss_use
+ss_lookup
+ss_lookdown
+ss_lookleft
+ss_lookright
ss_nextweapon
ss_prevweapon

gm_splitscreen.dll is a rename of gm_botcontroller.dll from: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/736452[/url]
All I did was recompile it for the orangebox engine.

(it will say download at your own risk, this is because garrysmod.org automatically reports files with .dll extensions, and the module is in this)

If the laws of nature would allow it, I would bear OP's children.

Forgot to mention. You need to run [b]ss_create[/b] to enable the split screen.
You cannot use this in singleplayer or else it will crash.

Quickfix:
Some people might be get a load of errors that don't really affect gameplay, but those errors can be fixed by:
1. Opening lua/autorun/splitscreen.lua
2. Under line 32, or "local function botPaint()" insert:
[lua]
EyePosOverride = olEyePos()
EyeAnglesOverride = olEyeAngles()
LocalPlayerOverride = olLocalPlayer()
ScrWOverride = olScrW()
[/lua]
3. Save & reload Garry's Mod.

All i'm missing is:
+ss_duck_toggle
+ss_reload
+ss_speed (run)

If I have 3 monitors, it is possible to put one side on monitor 1 and the other on monitor 2 ?

[hentie]

I can add +ss_reload and +ss_speed.
Do you mean ss_duck_toggle instead of +ss_duck_toggle?

I don't know, I don't know if garry's mod added native support for two monitors. Does it allow you to play half of garry's mod's screen on one monitor and the other half on the other monitor?

[Goz3rr]

Yea, i meant ss_duck_toggle

I know portal 2 I think it allow that but I didnt remember if I used earlier a third program for multi monitor. ( Soft TH )

Updated with the features you guys requested.
Also added a fix for vehicles.
Physgun rotation is still on my todo list.

[gameacid13]

Since i downloaded this, any game i join is splitscreen. Whether its multi-player or not. half is me and the other half is another real player... BUG?

Yeah, it's a bug.
Quickfix:
Replace line 51 in splitscreen/lua/autorun/splitscreen.lua with:
[lua]if not bot or not ValidEntity( bot ) or not bot:IsBot() then return end[/lua]

the original line was:
[lua]if not bot or not ValidEntity( bot ) then return end[/lua]

This is freaking genius. Too bad I didn't have it back when I actually needed it.

Lua kinged.

[RidleySmash]

So this is multiplayer only?

I am asking because I keep steam offline due to an EXTREMELY unreliable/unstable internet connection
Literally every time the wind blows it goes out and has to be reset.

[BloodYScar]

Oh god, i love you. This is gonna be brilliant when everything works.

Looks great lol.

Well this script is awesome! I couldn't get it to work but finally I did it! If anyone wants easier way of binding all the buttons [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?oai0d0gbyxz7cto"]here[/URL] is the file but it's for xbox 360 controller.
Paste it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\(Yoursteamusername)\garrysmod\garrysmod
Path might be bit different for everyone though. Well thank you for the great split screen mod. This helps pretty much! If there is problem with this post please pm me and I'll edit it.

Many thanks for this.

I did a little look at the splitscreen.lua and found "lol key sex"

[Bucky21659]

Awesome! I play Left 4 Dead on splitscreen with my sister, but I never dreamed there would be splitscreen in GMod!

Won't this trigger a VAC false positive? I thought it would scan for added/modified .dlls, and if you have to be online for it to work then wouldn't that trigger it?
Rate me dumb, but I just want to be cautious.

I haven't tested this, so I don't know for sure (I don't have two monitors with the same resolution), but if you have at least two monitors with the same resolution, then first thing I'd try would be to connect only those two, then multiply the width by 2 (say you have two monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080, you'd end up with 3840). Then forcing that resolution with the new width (in the example it would be 3840x1080) in your Garry's Mod launch options (Steam library>Right click Gmod>Properties>Set Launch Options) with "-width WIDTHHERE -height HEIGHTHERE." Then launching the game, it should be displaying the game accross both monitors, and since it looks like the game divides the two players' screens down the middle, it would put one on each screen.

wow, thats an awesome new idea, I'm sure this will come in handy for creatures and such
