Teach those zombies a lesson. And some time, try 300 on Urban Warfare. It's great fun.

[FreakyMe]

I did 300 on Urban warfare but I used a keybind to get my weapon choice - Kimber and UMP.

Also Silent hill, here I come!

[Reconstruct]

Tsk. Got to rock with the defaults man, can't just go around with whatever weapons you please.

[FreakyMe]

I hate that damn shotgun though. Too deadly.

The ump in third person makes you have to try to aim and control the gun and recoil.

Also I don't use the laser sight.

My mapadd will not work no matter how many times I reload. Can I have your Silent Hill mapadd?

Here is the Current Bug Fix list.
Please tell me if I'm missing anything.

[b]
People don't like the model used for the shotgun

Shotgun sounds are low (but they are real samples, (Whisky Tango Foxtrot) do you people want from me)

Revolver sounds are not working

M16 appears as a Rocket launcher sometimes. must be an issue with the class overrider

Camera shake is too harsh

Some weapons "at hip" blur looks bad

Sniper Rifle crashes some people's machines.

M249 is too easy to use.

Strafing and using the lean makes the EOTECH fall off the lenses

Weapon limits are harsh and not explained well.

Bullet time is weird

Need a way to turn off the Ghost Recon tracers after "cheating"

Mini-gun guys are overpowered.

MP5 and other weapons use the wrong ammo

MP5 model needs a suppressor

MP5 is too accurate

NPCs shoot shotgun too quickly.

Those are more like complaints or whining than anything else.

[gatorboy2005]

But I like the shotgun! :uhoh:

Okay, a few things.

Mini-guns guys are fine.

Weapon limits are fine, if a bit odd. I can carry an M4 and a Minigun, but not a P90 and a Minigun?

M249 is too easy to use, yeah.

Camera shake is fine.

Oh and FreakyMe, you need Khorne's mapadd generator.

[bord2tears]

Is there any way to make respawning somewhat like HL2DM? I hate having to wait so long between deaths.

EDIT: Never mind, they have lua controlling the spawning (Woot).

I have a script that will randomly spawn you again when you die and tell how many kills you got, then reset the kills.

EDIT2: Damn, it doesn't seem to work like I had hoped.

[Protocol7_2]

Anyone can tell me why my SMOD freezes when I try to load any map other than the config map?

Does it give an error. Or is it just a crash to desktop?

Some thoughts from my opinion:

It's not that the M249 is easy to use, it's that there's too damn much ammo. Replace most of the M249s with MP5s or P90s because those are the rare guns.

Try to change EVERYTHING about the RPG7. There's no world model, it crashes virtually every time I fire it (1/20 FPS is unacceptable), it's just buggy as fuck.

Change the weapon limits script to have all assault rifles/SMGs (M4, MP5, UMP, etc.) as a primary weapon. I like holding a UMP and a shotgun at the same time. Also, since you can hold only one at a time, put more AWMs and RPGs in the maps.

The mod just freezes, I have to ctrl-alt-delete out of it and close it, it says not responding as well

[bord2tears]

I find my SMOD randomly crashes. It seems to happen when there are zombies involved.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Remove minigun/don't allow NPCs to use it, because it's impractical and annoying. It completely defeats the purpose of the "tactical" feel, plus it crashes my game every time someone starts shooting those things because it tries to load a gunshot sound for EVERY shot.

The only thing that annoys me about minigun guys is that they do not "charge up" the minigun like you have to. You walk around a corner and hundreds of bullets slam into you instantly.

Making the NPC's go through the charge up process will make them MUCH easier to take care of.

[bord2tears]

Grr, my zombie apocalypses cause a total crash of my computer. (It just freezes)

[Codey]

Anyone have an idea why I get this message each time I try to start smod?:

The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request.
Please try again in a few minutes.

I want to play this!

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it.

[bord2tears]

Could someone help me with something?

I attempted to remove the "loading" screen of doom by altering the .lua file from the mapadd folder for the map I was playing with.

I tried something very simple but it failed:

function Killed(info)

	local entinfo = HL2.GetEntInfo(info.KilledEnt)

    print("damagetype : " .. info.DamageType)

	if entinfo.Name == "enemy" then
		ENEMYCOUNT = ENEMYCOUNT - 1
		KILLCOUNT = KILLCOUNT + 1
		if info.DamageType == 128 then
			--  with crowbar
			IncreaseMoney(3)
		else
			IncreaseMoney(1)
		end
	end

	if info.IsPlayer == 1 then
	    PlayerRandomSpawn()  --Yay, look at me
	end

end

I thought: "Hey, instead of 'Gameover()' I'll just have it spawn me again... Right?" Wrong.

So, I am pretty much stuck between a rock and a long ass loading screen.

[luishi5000]

Why is the loading screen so long anyways? It takes like 2-3 minuets!

[phatcat]

Because I hate you.

No, there is something wrong with the last build. The shaders aren't optimized.
I'll try to get a patch out soon... perhaps this weekend, no promises.

[EDIT]
Let me be more clear.
The "author" of SMOD created a patch.
I'm going to make a patch suitable for Tactical, either other fixes, or just that speed fix. Not sure, depends on how quickly I can get Veteran Gamer to finish up some bug'ed models.

Oh yeah, do you have any idea why using map add to create lots of zombie2 will randomly freeze some people's computers?
