This gamemode is from a skelton gamemode, and was a very basic Team Deathmatch. Now it's quite complex, and more interesting come check it out! I only kept the name "Very Basic" as more of an inside joke. I haven't posted this on facepunch yet, because I didn't think it was ready all the way, as I was using workshop as my open beta testers, though after a year in creation, it's ready. The difference between this gamemode and other death match gamemodes can only be described in a few paragraphs:
[b]When I created this gamemode, it was only really to test my skills, and see how far I could get till I was like, "that's nice and interesting". Well now it's come to the point that I have gotten to that point on saying it's nice and all, meaning that I can continue to update this gamemode and make it better, and worth wild for everyone. Best part is that I take suggestions to the heart, and I really try to implement most suggestions (as long as it makes sense, and it can be used for everyone).[/b]
This now is a project and with most successful projects, there is a team to go with it to accept the challenges as a team. My team is prepared to take all challenges head first, as this is there first gamemode (as well as myself).
Though, My team and I plan to re-write the entire code sometime in December to make it more user friendly like other great gamemode that we all know and love. So people can add teams much easier, and make it so it's fully customizable.
Now your part in all of this is simple. To play the gamemode, and give suggestions if needed, and report issues, glitches if needed. I plan to make this bigger over time.

Looking good! You [I]need[/I] to post an updated video though!
I like the use of Derma!
In my opinion the HUD seems kinnda bulky and unnecessarily big.

Thanks for your replys. I actually made an update video today, and I'll swap it out sooner or later for when I think it's ready.

You're not the only person who has told me about the HUD. I'll contact my team about the HUD, and see what they can do. I'm not the HUD creator, I really can't help that much about it, sorry. :(
[editline]16th August 2013[/editline]
The VBTDM team has come up with a better design that might suit more players. Please tell me what you think.

That looks alot better. Nice work!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them, or ask me on steam if you chose to add me. If you have suggestions, please tell me as I'm willing to take them or any of them into consideration.
Thanks

Seems like a less advanced Stronghold, except this is free. I like.
I wasn't able to create a bot for some reason. Though when this is a little more updated I'll consider starting a server with this game mode.
Maybe use something like a dropbox link for the changelog so that it doesn't take up much space in OP, and maybe put the newer versions at the top of the changelog too. Just for accessibility's sake. Anyway, interesting gamemode. Simple but still looks fun.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the advise.

Are you in singleplayer?
[QUOTE=chaos12135;41878820]Are you in singleplayer?[/QUOTE]
Yes I am
[QUOTE=StonedPenguin;41882267]Yes I am[/QUOTE]
You cannot spawn bots in single player, just before starting the single player game hit the green box on the screen where you select a map and change the box to something like 4 players.
Make sure to work on a very good anti-cheating system :P
Anyway to get FA:S Sweps to work with this?
