happy new year ghor! :D hope finishing this mod was on your new years resolution list :P bumpidy bump bump

[QUOTE=roboman43;27285757]happy new year ghor! :D hope finishing this mod was on your new years resolution list :P[/QUOTE] It's on the list. I've been working on this thing for far too long, and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this because it's hindering me in the other projects I would like to do. I would really like to have some form of release, probably SVN, by the end of the month. I've basically been working nonstop on this thing lately. Considering this is largely a one-man project I don't think I'm doing terribly bad. For an actual update on what's happening, I've been working on viewmodels, updating some other models that looked really nasty, recoding all of the secondary weapons, and wrapping up the scavgun skins: [img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_construct0125.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_construct0116.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_hell3b0003.jpg[/img_thumb] I've also finished a system that lets me create effects that are attached to the gun more easily: [img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_construct0108.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_construct0088.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_hell3b0004.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/RoguePirate/Scavenger%20Deathmatch/gm_hell3b0006.jpg[/img_thumb]

Anyway on topic these sweps are simply amazing. Are these going to be a gamemode or sweps for sandbox? From what iv been reading it sounds like a gamemode to me.

how do you join that adreesss?

-Server is up (me) - AWESOME -597 downloads left Wait , what ? That cant be truth

Played with it . Extremely fun , and props , that you dont expert to work work . But lots of effects are missed , the most noticeable one is the flame-thrower effect

[QUOTE=superstepa;27459760]Played with it . Extremely fun , and props , that you dont expert to work work .

Aww, the alchemy gun still doesnt work.

Is this going to be released soon?

Alright, its the end of the month, where has this weapon gone?

[QUOTE=hjkl300;27780386]Alright, its the end of the month, where has this weapon gone?[/QUOTE] I can't tell you where it's gone, it was stolen by Lua bandits and necromorphs.

[QUOTE=Justice;27418123]TGA's back, we'll be hosting the latest Scav in a bit. I need to update a few things and add some things and get everything bzipped up. [b]You can join the server at [url=steam://connect/gmod.nottarga.com:27015]gmod.nottarga.com:27015[/url].[/b] We use a fastdl, so downloads should take no more than a minute to finish. Please keep in mind that this is a Sandbox server, so try to restrain yourself from killing everyone every five seconds when they're trying to build.[/QUOTE] Nice server! , keep hearing gabe newel for some reason XD

This is neat :D

I've made a new steam group for Scavenger Deathmatch, and I'll be updating with group announcements and events as developments arise. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ScavDM[/url] While I did mention that I would LIKE to have an SVN release soon I never made any promises, and rightly so, because I don't think it's really appropriate given this stage in development. I still want to get a release soon, though, so if you want info this group is your best bet of tracking progress. I'll also continue to update this thread, but expect fewer of them than the group.

scavenger cannon grapple beam Use #1 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaktXW_arhE[/media] Was messing with the grapple_beam fire-mode when I discovered that as well as pulling things towards you. You can push things away from you like the video shows [editline]6th February 2011[/editline] scavenger cannon grapple beam Use #2 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sabLzL4zgwM[/media] seems a bit obvious but thought i might as well record this. and yes i know I'm terrible at grapple-swinging in mid-air

The new Black Hole Gun is available on the TGA server (69.197.189.16:27015). Be sure to restart your game after joining the server for the first time so your client can register the particle effects, fonts, and render targets.

IT FUCKING STAYS BLACK, AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT I THINK I SHOULD JOIN THE SERVER A SECOND TIME TO SEE IF ITS BETTER, BUT IF ITS BROKE I FUCKING SWEAR.......

Dude, take a chill pill, and stop using the caps key, damn...

Under normal circumstances I don't mind helping people if they're having trouble with my addon, especially so I can find out what's wrong and fix the problem, but what you're doing right now is making me NOT want to help you. If you can manage to simmer down I'd like to look into the issue.

[editline]12th February 2011[/editline] For some reason the RT screen only works if you quit and rejoin.

[QUOTE=tigercat2000;28007061] For some reason the RT screen only works if you quit and rejoin.[/QUOTE] That doesn't sound like you listened to the directions in the same two-sentence post that gave you the IP to the server. [QUOTE=tigercat2000;28007061]... why do you have to rejoin to have the rt screen? [/QUOTE] Because Garry's Mod only loads render targets when you start the game. Since you downloaded the render targets from the server (which happens AFTER your gmod is already loaded), you have to restart gmod so it can load the render targets when you start up gmod again. This should have been changed with the recent patch, with GetRenderTarget() being updated to create new RTs if they're not found, but for whatever reason it sounds like it's not working that way. The same goes for OB particle effects, since they are only loaded when the game starts but downloaded when you join the server. So either way, you're going to have to restart your game. That's not on me, that's just how gmod/source works.

Are you still thinking about making the SVN for the Scavenger Guns? Anyway, keep the development going!

Yeah, that'd be nice.

cant wait for this :P i normally go on and off of garrysmod but with this i'll be on for a very long time edit: tried the server, doesnt work : / i entered, left and entered again, and still no particle effects (but i can see the screens, change the color,etc) the only effects i see is the smoke from a launched object, and some weird light that occurs whenever u do something. I tried deleted the cache, downloads, and tried the lua_temp (but oddly, there wasnt one : /) and i also reinstalled gmod but that didnt help. Any ideas? or can someone compile a particle folder or something for me?

Leaving the server and rejoining isn't enough. You need to completely restart gmod (exit the whole game, and start it up again through steam, no ifs ands or buts about it you HAVE to do it). If you reinstalled gmod then that means you lost the particle file you just downloaded with the reinstall and had to download it again, which means you still have to restart gmod. There was also a problem, however, that someone was having that gave them corrupt particle files. Check your garrysmod/particles folder and check for scav_particles91.pcf. It should be 185 KB. If that is not the filesize, you need to delete the file and try downloading it from the server again. scav_altguns4.pcf should also be 78KB and scav_muzzleflashes should be 33KB.

Well most of the effects work so i guess thats all that matters, just explosions, flamethrower, and the sonic wave thing don't work. On a more related note: -Will you be creating a list of all of the firemodes? -Need an extra beta tester? :P

What server is this?

read back a few pages and you'll find it, its TGA
