[Alpha] Garry's Mod Fortwars Recreation (Australian Server) - Games

Hey everyone, Recently I've been recreating the popular fortwars gamemode which was run by darklands years ago until it shut down (and was private so no one else could set a server up with it). There was also a fretta version under the name FortwarsX which wasn't as good and didn't feel complete, and there is also a basic TF2 mod of this. I would have put it in the "Gamemodes & Addon Releases" section but I have no idea if I'm going to end up releasing this, and I didn't want to go "Maybe I will" and then let people down later on if I don't release it. Here is a video of the darklands version of this gamemode: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cj--StUkys[/media] [U][B]What is the point of this gamemode?[/B][/U] There are two stages to this gamemode, the building stage and the fighting stage. In the building stage there is a wall separating the teams and you build a base, you also can fly when building. After that the build stage starts and you get given a gravity gun to hold the ball and the weapon of whatever class you have. Your team has to hold the ball for a total of 3 minutes. In the future you'll be able to get money from playing and spend it on unlocking classes and upgrading them. This money will also be used for spawning props. [U][B]Why are you making this[/B][/U] I've been getting bored of gmod lately as there's pretty much just Sandbox, TTT and Roleplay servers, which I've either played too much of or just don't find fun. I began thinking about gamemodes I'd love to play and Fortwars was one of the biggest that came to mind and now they're no servers running it at all. So I decided that I should make my own version of the gamemode to bring back what I loved so much. This is the biggest gmod project I've started and I hope I end up finishing it. [U][B]What does the gamemode look like?[/B][/U] Prop Health (note it will only show the prop health you're looking at): [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34109096027113232/1EB818BD5588483748A9432657282EC542965E5A/[/T] Scoreboard: [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34109096027112218/E9D48EDA7D912895027037F72F1DB13B48C5DFC3/[/T] Team Selection: [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34109096027134136/1CD6AB80A32F4F4D069715D8C23672ABE13472AD/[/T] Toolgun and Prop Selection: [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34109096027134597/5E09E382CC94E621161CD6492679741E39450538/[/T] Default Spawnpoint Markers: [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34110007252722300/2709E97D755DDB0C9D86451710284E733D5B5395/[/T] Custom Spawnpoint Marker: [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34110007252725938/5527503FDBCFCF9C42B7B8ED66E56FD1ED1FFF48/[/T] [highlight]Keep in mind this is in alpha at the moment and is not complete[/highlight], but I'd love to get feedback about the gamemode so I can improve on it. [U][B]Current Features[/B][/U]: - Custom Scoreboard - Quake Announcer (Double kill, Killing spree, etc) - Kill Assists - Ball and Ballholder glow - Hurt sounds - TF2 Time Announcer - FreezeCam - Custom HUD - Basic prop limit - 1 Class - Mobile spawnpoint - Show default spawnpoints [U][B]Planned Features[/B][/U]: - Money System - Improved class system with upgrades (will use money) - Increase prop limit but props will cost money

[QUOTE=BigBadWilly;46944697]I have the old Darkland files aka fort wars etc, I never knew people still thought or wanted to play fort wars tho[/QUOTE] Oh I don't remember it ever being released, when did that happen? Also I think it's just been forgotten over time and newer players wouldn't even know about it.

The file were never released I was just able to obtain quite a bit of them, Secondly ya it was such a fun gamemode but sadly forgotten, Would love for it to get popular tho.

I also have the working original gamemode. I know Darkspider very well and i have all of his old files and i've been revamping it all to look modern. They were never released only given to a few of his close friends.

I really loved this, probably the most I played of gmod was fortwars. I'd like to see it come back.

Here's some more recent pictures with the updated hud and the spawnpoint stuff [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34110007252722300/2709E97D755DDB0C9D86451710284E733D5B5395/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/34110007252725938/5527503FDBCFCF9C42B7B8ED66E56FD1ED1FFF48/[/T]

[QUOTE=isnipeu;47017585]Why cheat? It just ruins the fun for others :([/QUOTE] I can't really answer that because I don't know myself.

Ayeee, some people actually still have this gamemode? Bro my friend and I still love this gamemode till now and we even tried making our own server using an old gamemode file, but it never worked. But man if you can actually produce this and make a community out of it, it'll be great for the old players who use to play this and new ones to come! Thanks! My first post :)

Nice chatbox. All you need now is some type of battle music, haha.

Missed so much. This game mode was the shit, and I enjoyed building tank bases... [IMG]http://puu.sh/hAARZ/3141b2761a.jpg[/IMG]

Server for this isn't up anymore however I am slowly but surely working on this when I have free time. Also I'd improve the OP but I can't edit it properly (just ends up blank when I go into source mode).

OP is still out of date but I've got a video of gameplay recorded on a test server today. [video=youtube;A09Rnkw8P1E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A09Rnkw8P1E[/video]
