Hello everyone, I decided to start to learn Glua. It's my first coding language i have ever learned. I'm about 2 weeks new to it and have been developing this small basic Gamemode for around 2 days now. I have 2 addons that are required to make the gamemode work properly. This might change if i decide i want to release an editable/customization version to the public. Anyways, here is a YouTube video that shows what i have so far. It's not much, but it's a start!
Video - [OLD & OUTDATED, will post a new one soon :) ]
[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsKVetTA9LA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsKVetTA9LA[/URL]
Info:
The gamemode as it stands right now is 850 lines long in total for all 6 files it runs.
The hud, derma, and the score at the top are all resolution friendly meaning it will work with whatever res you are running gmod on.
Things added so far:
[QUOTE]HUD
Score's at the top of screen
P-Models
Weapons
F4 Menu - Not much yet - Just team change buttons, added some admin buttons aswell
Kills upon team switch
[/QUOTE]
Things I plan to add:
[QUOTE]
Functional Score System - Added
"Team-Specific" spawn/respawn points
A kill notice type thing... if you kill an enemy it says enemy killed, +1 team point.. etc. - Added but still a WIP
Match ends when whichever team reaches a certain amount of points. Ex. 100 points to win. - Added, STill could use some visual work.
Possibly re-coding all derma and making it look better/appealing to the eye. - Added, could be changed later.
[/QUOTE]
I will take any suggestions but I won't promise i will add them.
Please reply to this thread what you think of it so far.
Please try to take into account that this is my first ever written from scratch gamemode!
I don't like the HUD the Team: USA is so akward when it placed like that :downs:
I didn't see a scoreboard (might be me as I skipped some part of it)
[B]Respawn system wtf? Source does that by youself? Please explain further[/B]
Also if you're learning gLua I bet you did a extreme big fault.
You're changing teams using a console command? If so thats extremely dumb if you don't kill people on team changing.
[code]
bind mouse4 "team_usa"
bind mouse5 "team_spetsnaz"
[/code]
Well [B]NOBODY CAN KILL ME[/B] CAUSE I JUST CHANGE TEAM.
Also menu system what the fucking is that?
Weapons if that was your and not using FA:S/Customizable Weapon dunno never tried those it could be a main feature. In your video you show them as something you're really proud of (you shouldn't be as you didnt make).
Also plzzz.
You're being restricted so much.
A FPS game oftens gives good graphics and Gmod can't offer that (compared to newer titles) so therefore you need something that ain't restricted.
I want to choose my own model and weapons.
I want to personalize it in some way (FA:S/Customizable Weapons helps)
Also it would be better showing off your features while playing it.
Also please mention how many players this is designed for?
Im working on a team deathmatch gamemode thats designed for 12v12.
If you like CoD and wants 6v6/9v9 and you just try Battlefield after maybe 20 min download cause content and you find out its 64v64 you will be dissapointed most of the time.
Overall it looks okay if you're learning Lua. You atleast did it better than I first gLua :)
[B]PS.
you forget IP :D[/B]
Thanks for the feedback but as I said before I've been working on it for only 2 days. It's currently not functional yet though. I'll take out the respawn system I don't know why I added that above... Anyways I can't provide an ip yet, once the gamemode is finished and functional I will get a dedicated server host and make it public. I will work on it a lot more this summer. I will try to add a functional scoring system and a class select/create and a level system. Also, what do you mean by you don't like where it says Team: USA?
I'd say the gamemode won't be finished for about a month. In my kind it's about 15% done. I work on it when I can and have time.
Thanks for the feedback once again.
It feels like the text on the HUD that states "Team: TEAM" in this case USA is a little bit to much in the bottom area of the box. Its like 4 pixel from touching the border.
I would like that raised a little.
Also what the hell is a menu system
:suicide:
Would you think it would look better if I colored the team name according to the team they were on? Along with it I could change the team display to be positioned to the bottom right hand or the top left of the screen maybe. Regarding the menu system, I'll take that out and call it working f-4 menu. But the f4 menu is still in progress.
I'm working on my own gamemode but if you need any help just add me [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/SarahKerrigan[/url]
I been working with gLua for some months and I can achieve mostly all I want.
Also if I find it entertaining I give you a 14 slot server for free hosted on my VPS (NFO so quality is decent)
[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "noticePlayer", function(victim, inflictor, attacker)
if attacker != victim and attacker:IsValid() and attacker:IsPlayer() then
attacker:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "+1 for neutralizing "..victim:Nick());
end
end)
[/lua]
Written directly in the browser cause I'm on a shitty PC atm.
Should notice the attacker about +1 you killed.
Hello, sorry for having to bring this back from the dead but are you still working on this? I recently played on a server that has this mode and it's amazing. I'm just wondering, is this up for release or was it only custom made for a certain server?

Yes, I recently started working on the gamemode again, I've made a lot of progress since last time I uploaded, I'll try making a new video soon.
