I can't speak for all the judges, but I'm not expecting any refined and polished gamemodes, they'll be buggy, they'll have errors, missing features, etc. Just submit what you can :)

The contest isn't as much about creating a fully functional gamemode as it is comming up with an original idea, or something fun. If we wanted to judge fully functional gamemodes, we would have given a month or something.

Well, as it looks like my time to develop is up (As I mentioned up a few posts ago. (for the lazy; I'll be away/busy until thursday starting tomorrow.)) and what not, so I'm here to post my gamemode, PaintBallz.
[U]Description:[/U]
It's paintball deathmatch. Team with the most frags at the end of 6 minutes wins. Oh and as a side bonus thing, you can paint giant dicks using your paintball gun.
[U]Features:[/U]
- Menu thing (Not the esc menu, I'd never be a dick and replace that [I]UNLIKE SOME SERVERS[/I]...)
- Mostly functional scoreboard. (I'll be honest, I have no fucking idea what will happen if you have more players than the scoreboard can handle without some sort of scrolly thing.)
- 100% Non-Custom voice acting from everyone's favorite two face wrinkly employer.
- Entity based paintballs. I'll be frank, I don't think there's any other way to do them (other than regular bullets). I also spent ~25% of the development time making these not break everything.
- Very ~[I]minimalist/basic[/I]~ hud. (AKA I didn't have time to do anything other than vanilla HL2 hud + a thing at the top for showing team frags.)
- Paint dicks on walls with paint.
- Match end awards (Highest kills, Highest deaths + extra.)
- Single round fun because I didn't have enough time to do multiple rounds!
- Anti-Team kill.
- Spawn protection.

If it's possible, could the thing you guys are using to load the gamemodes be made into a fretta esque thing?
Goddamn, and I haven't even gotten that far into development.
Requesting Adderall to help me cope with my ADHD so I can do this gamemode!
I've learned this week that a time restriction changes the way I code.
Most noticeably, I give no fucks about commenting my code.
Oi, if some of you guys could test my gamemode right now to see if it was working that'd be nice. Someone on garrysmods.org was saying that it wouldn't give them the paintball gun.

it is geving me the gun, no worries.
the only thing is, the paint markers that are left, they are all white. even though the balls that comes out are deffirent colors

The paint splatter colors are actually blue, green, pink but HL2's paint splatter decals are all So close to white that it looks like they're white. If you shoot the wall relatively close together you can see the difference.

Wouldn't be that hard to make your own decal. It would probably look more like paintballs that way.

I was considering making a custom decal but by the time I thought of it it was a bit too late.

Aaaaaagh I've been so caught up in details that I don't even have the actual game logic working yet
like, I have a frame of a gamemode. And I've already rewritten the AI to the point where it takes half the resources that the original AI used to take, the weapons are so much more polished, functional, and deliberate than the original, I even set up a file loading system for the maps
The problem is, I just realized that when the judges pop this into the server, they're probably not going to remember to actually drop my supplied data files into the /data folder which are crucial for the gamemode working properly, so I added something to the file loading system that would let it load default map data from included lua files instead of text files.
Too bad include() decided to break for this ONE SPECIFIC FILE and I can't for the life of me figure out why. If I don't find a workaround soon I'm going to have to hardcode the data into the gamemode.
[B]Wow, pageking and all you get is another fucking video of me trying to re-create what some guy did with E2 years ago.[/B]
Ahem. I also have no game logic because making ragdolls walk was a pain in the ass and I'm lazy as fuck.
[video=youtube;WNIC6z5pKAI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNIC6z5pKAI&feature=youtu.be[/video]
Oh well, at least it has overused HL2 sounds now.
I was originally going for something a little more ambitious (weapons, items, grabbing, throwing) but I think I'll save that for an updated version. I'm sure I could work some of that in but there's no way in hell it would be even close to balanced and I'd have even less time for turning it into a playable gamemode and dumping in all the memeshit I'm planning.
So I'll just stick to derpy ragdoll boxing for now.
[editline]13th July 2015[/editline]
Dammit, I just found a video of drunk combine and it's walking is so much more beautiful. Or maybe the grass is just greener...
Seriously, how the hell did that guy do it in E2?!?

I did literally the same thing and had literally the same issue for about an hour. In the end I just needed to restart the server so it could recognize the existence of the new file.
If you paste your include() code and the file hierarchy and your social security number here maybe I can help you.

On a gamemode note;
I've got pretty much everything working for the core gameplay, along with a rounds system.
Currently working on announcing a winner and finding a way to get that cat and postal's ass in... :v:
Will post a new video soon, with audio this time.
Also an annoying camera shaking bug that pops up for some people, some rounds and either disappears the round after or not at all. Send help.
(If any of the non-judges want to try it out and help me iron out bugs or improve stuff, drop a PM)
We aren't that stupid, we know how to put your data files into the data folder.

I ended up just using a "up one file" in my path and then it suddenly worked perfectly.
Fucking hacks.
And yes I did try resetting my game. Same issue, I assume its because the include was part of a gamemode hook as opposed to being outside of any functions like it usually is.

Yeah but if you forget I don't want it to leave a bad impression :p I always make stuff with these kinds of fallbacks just in case.
Video I promised, with audio this time. Almost done, just need to add the hook that we need to call.
I also think I managed to resolve the shaky camera bug, not entirely sure.
Your objective is to push everyone else off the platform and be the last person standing.
You have your Firemelon, which is a small radius push, and your forcepulse, which has a good radius and a strong push. (There were other weapons like mines and stuff but they kind of broke the pace of the game)
Most of it is done, I just have some minor things left.

As much as I hate to add to the list, I'm going to have to drop out. I decided to restart and recode my gamemode, this time leaving room for soft-code and future expansion, but doing so also means that I won't fit into the time constraint.
For those interested in what I was going for, it was a Magicka gamemode, so elements and combo spells. I had 3 of the 4 base elemental spells and combos done in the first version, but when I reset, I'm back to about 1 out of the 4.

Heh, I originally had the same idea.
Sad to see you drop out, but I really look forward to what you turn that into, it looks really neat.
