[b]TowerYard Entertainment Present to you: [i]Gmod Tower Defense[/i][/b][/release]
[release][b]Overview[/b]
TYE (TowerYard Entertainment) are a small team working on creating several new private, but publicly playable gamemodes for you to enjoy. These gamemodes will work off a lobby system. Currently, only one gamemode has been released - Tower Defence - but more are to come, including Population (by The Maw) which is coming soon.
[b]Tower Defence[/b]
You've all played those simple yet addicting tower defense flash games (well, most of you have). Gmod TD is based upon exactly the same concept - defend your castle from waves of creeps by placing towers around the path.
[b]Population[/b]
Also coming soon to our servers!

[b]The Servers[/b]
The gamemode uses a lobby system in order to organise the players into games. Please be aware, this is the [i]only[/i] reason we use a lobby system for this - if there was a better way to organise players into games, we would have used that instead. We picked the lobby system after we decided on the gamemode, not the other way round.
[b]Lobby IP:[/b] 87.117.203.90
[b]Lobby Status:[/b] Up and Running
[b]Gameservers:[/b] 5
[b]Forums:[/b] [url]http://www.fortfn.co.uk/forum[/url]
[b]How it Works[/b]
You join the lobby server, and walk a short distance to the server room. In here, are the screens showing status of all the game servers. When a server is ready, you "use" the screen and when 4 players are all "opted" in, the voting procedure starts. Once a gamemode and map are picked, after a few seconds you are connected to the game server.
When the game ends, you receive a certain amount of money that stays with your account. You can view and spend this money back at the lobby, mainly on upgrades for the towers. Once you buy an upgrade, you can use it on all game servers providing you can afford it with your ingame cash.
[b]Controls[/b]
Left-Click (While aiming at ground): Place tower
Left-Click (While aiming at tower): Upgrade tower
Right-Click (While aiming at tower): Sell tower
F3 (In setup time): Vote to skip setup time
[b]Towers[/b]
When you sell a tower, you get:
- 100% money back in the 10 second timer between waves and in setup time
- 50% money back during a wave
- Money back includes money spent on upgrading towers
Towers there are:
- Pistol Tower (Costs 10)
- SMG Tower (Costs 25)
- Shotgun Tower (Costs 40)
- Sniper Tower (Costs 60)
- Paralysis Tower (Costs 20)
- Fire Tower (Costs 30)
- Frost Tower (Costs 24)
[b]Creeps[/b]
[i]Wave 1-5:[/i] Headcrabs
[i]Wave 6-10:[/i] Fast Headcrabs
[i]Wave 11-15:[/i] Zombie Torsos
[i]Wave 16-20:[/i] Zombies
[i]Wave 21-25:[/i] Fast Zombies
[i]Wave 26-30:[/i] Poison Zombies
Every 5th wave is a single boss of that zombie type.[/release]

This could very well be entertaining.
Do Want.
Just to make this clear, this is a follow up on the old "Gmod td" thread that bekka posted. Same servers, same gamemode. It's just because we're adding new stuff, it isn't just about TD anymore so we needed a new thread.
If you need a dev, I can help out. I'm surprisingly good with Lua.

PM me
Highly anticipating the re-opening.
Yes! I want to play it!
Will our credits from the earlier version transfer over?
Yes, you still keep all your old money and upgrades.
Do note that according to bekka the lobby is currently unlocked but auto kicking all pending an update to GMods copy of the Source Engine to fix the upload exploit
This is fun to play in short bursts. Entertaining for a while, then you start to grow weary of the people your playing with as one always seems to develop a complex over something.
Fixed GS 5 being down 90% of the time?
All the game servers should be working as expected. Some solid beta testing should help us to debug and fix that.
Added screenshots to the OP - this isn't the final version, there are still adjustments to things (like the ads showing inside the css screen model) to make and a whole new map revision. Also, the gui has nice smooth transitions which makes up for the kinda plain look.
Well you take them then, I can't be bothered to change all my settings up, take pictures, then change them down again. I don't have an epic-super-omg-wtf PC ya know...
She's on holiday on her laptop, I doubt it can even open gmod.
well, i would have got on but the service here is crappy, so they wont give me the net pass for my laptop >.>
Indeed it is.
[editline]08:47PM[/editline]
Unfortunately, we don't have Population available to vote for right now - it still has a few issues and improvements to be made before it's ready for the public.
Yay.
Been waiting for it to get back up ;D
Edit: Why... Why is there a password on? ;-;
Double Edit: Lol wrong server >.>
Server is up and running but that's the lobby, when are the game servers going to work?
Join the lobby and join the other servers using the lobby.
Servers work fine, the in-game stuff is just buggy at the moment :|
I couldnt change my tower?!
Why does this look so much like GMod Tower.
[QUOTE=Profanwolf;17246293]Why does this look so much like GMod Tower.[/QUOTE]
This was made waaay before, and has no relation whatsoever, I can attest this as I have played here multiple times, I like tower defense games, I have no reason to leave :v:
I'm amazed over the amount of idiots around facepunch still arguring that everything was stolen from gmod tower. Sorry to say to you people that gmod tower was a gamemode by itself based opun many others. So if anyone is saying that this gamemode is a cheap copy of gmod tower then you could say its the opposite.
Personaly don't care who stole what. But annoyed by this.
On-Topic:
Population seems to have mayor issues with the amount of lagg currently in the game. Also a few bugs on it.
People with Q menu issues, look here [url]http://www.fortfn.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=434[/url] for some "hints" on how to get it working properly.
And all the game servers appear to be working for now, 4 of them managed to have blank screens when I joined about 30 minutes ago but I restarted lobby and its all fine now.
Correction, this gamemode isn't a copy of GmodTower. It's a gamemode that incorporates and claims that they haven't taken ideas from GMT, even though all their new features are replicas of GMT's.
But, no. It's blasphemy, I can't possibly be correct. I must be some troll that is spreading lies and a crazy GMT fan even though I've never played GMT.

Ironic isn't it, your team tries to flame Gmod Tower for being so "laggy" and "poorly coded" and your gamemode turns out exactly what you blame us for, after copying our ideas? (youtube player and tetris)
[quote]
GMT has loads of stuff stolen from other servers, such as the couches, the benches, stairs, "a map to play in", sub-gamemodes, music, NPC's, players, minigames, PCMod (which is made by the dev team of GMod TD!), tables, floors, a lobby, admins, suites, etc, etc

Sooo, any idea when and how that damn theater is going to work? It's boring as shit with only Tetris and Space Invaders to play right now.
[QUOTE=iRzilla;17272462]We have/had breakout as well. Theater works it's just admins only at the moment.[/QUOTE]
:saddowns: Understandable though. Don't want retards going through 600 videos a minute somehow.
[QUOTE=iRzilla;17271932]Oh dear you seem to have a copyright on tetris and youtube?[/QUOTE]
We never had any copyright on them, but it's a little odd that suddenly tower defense had those features soon after GMT released
