Here is some suggestions: Pointshop 1&2 Support (And for other leading competitors) Roll the dice built in. Allowing the use of a single player to do runs on his/her own (ConVar) Integrate CS:S weapon pack into it. (Optional ConVar)
Thanks, I'll add these to the to-do list
So far this is looking really good, some suggestions I thought would be nice in the gm if I think of more I'll post them later. Add Re Die Add an option to open the players steam profile on the scoreboard.
nice work dude
I may have an idea you can use for button claiming. If a player that is on the Death team is x units from a func_button, create an invisible barrier around the playe until they move away.
- Possible support for ULX or Evolve in the scoreboard to manage players (kick, ban etc.) - Maybe do a ending screen with the players name, prize, and some balloons floating around!
the gamemode lets you practice in godmode if nobody else is on the server. there's also a respawn command (!r or !respawn) if you get stuck. (warning: music) [vid]http://d.maxfile.ro/xqfadclvwr.webm[/vid]
Looks really cool, I'll jump in the suggestion bandwagon and add that you could make the end/start time you? And maybe get points depending on the time, or at least have a leaderboard with the best times, kinda like with Gravious' defunct deathrun gamemode.

I may add different rewards for first, second, and third place by keeping track of a global score for that map. First place would get X points, second place would get 2*X/3 points, and third would get X/3 points. This would also increase as the number of players (and hence number of deaths) increases, so there's a higher reward when the game is more difficult.
Well then you can just make it so it only records time when theres more then 1 death or more than a set number of players and allow admins to remove times from the leaderboard also you should add an anti-afk system unless you've already done that.

(Deaths Idle because they don't want to be death.) Can you make it so that if they idle too long they get team swapped and kicked, or something along those lines. (I would make this optional as well.

I plan to have some sort of system to punish "death avoiders" (leaving while death, idle while death). Either they are barred from the next 3 rounds, or they are banned for a short amount of time (configurable).

A bit like how TTT you can opt-out from being a Detective. I guess the only time you would want to force them to be a Death is if by chance everyone in the server opted-out. Great looking gamemode so far.

Someone opts out from being death 2. The rest of the server therefore becomes Death more frequently 3. More people opt-out of being Death 4. The remaining players are now almost always Death 5. They get sick of it and opt-out 6. Everyone's opted out, so we just choose Deaths how we normally would 7. Back to square one Currently the way it picks Deaths ensures that nobody is death more than 2 rounds in a row, so they are less likely to complain about being Death too often.
I have tested in and so far I'm loving it. Maybe you could add a special weapon for death like a scythe
Not to sound like I'm putting this down or anything, but Deathrun will usually always be the same game, just different HUDs and weapons. Nonetheless, I look forward to see what becomes of this.
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, how about a jukebox where you can play music ingame.
Hi, I just created my first Deathrun server and installed your gamemode. It seems to be working fine although it says I take damage but I don't seem to be taking any, i am not admin on there. Any ideas?
Are you the only one on your server?
The gamemode is great, but what the fuck is this shit Comes up totally randomly, it's from the gamemode as I tested with no addons installed. [ERROR] ' 1. unknown - LuaCmd:0 EDIT: Found error, it was the BroadcastLua function in the killfeed, it would return a lua error with some characters. Replaced mine with a simple chat.AddText function

It tells you you're taking damage so that if you are trying to practice, you know that you've taken damage, without actually getting hurt. you can type !respawn or !r to respawn and !cleanup to reset traps. [editline]7th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=KrazyHD;48136099]:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, how about a jukebox where you can play music ingame.[/QUOTE] I think that belongs in it's own addon, rather than as part of the gamemode.
This is just a quick question. Have you added support for Pointshop 1 and ULX?
[QUOTE=insanezanes;48136996]Are you the only one on your server?[/QUOTE] I was on it before, there was quite a bit of people on! About 6-7 i think its a small server. But I was only on for 20min so i think its doing well for a server with a standalone gm on it.
[QUOTE=KrazyHD;48139990]This is just a quick question. Have you added support for Pointshop 1 and ULX?[/QUOTE] In terms of ULX and Pointshop support i'm not sure what to add. On the scoreboard, you can gag, mute, slay, kick, and ban players through ULX if it's installed, if not then these options just don't show up. [t]http://i.imgur.com/loXWLOL.png[/t] For those interested, here is a list of recently added features: - ULX support for scoreboard - F1 and F2 bound to Help and Settings - Sound cues for round starts and round ends - can be toggled in settings menu - Many hooks - Celebration screen when one team wins - List the team and the names of the winning players. - Automatic button claiming - walk up to a button to claim, walk away to unclaim. - Thirdperson mode with customizable camera [t]http://i.imgur.com/yWDJBHc.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/jDYA38D.png[/t]
I have found a bug, for the Pointshop. I equip a playermodel for example then the next round it goes away then I have to re-equip it.
that is a problem with my spawning code so I will fix that asap
Can you higher the velocity for the runners and higher the velocity for deaths because the peed you can go at is way to low.
