Space Build(Chapter 1: The Solar System!) - Garry's Mod

We already discussed that. Look about page 15 onwards. And to reiterate: [b]Not a bug with the gamemode[/b]

How on earth do I play this? I copied it to the GMod addon folder... but where do I load it?

[QUOTE=Scroyall]How the hell do i play this? I copied it to the garry'smod addon folder...but where do i load it?[/QUOTE] Type "sv_defaultgamemode spacebuild" in your console/server.cfg before starting your server. It works only with the included map. (it has been said about one billion times) [b]Edit :[/b] ah.. and don't install it in addon folder but in gamemodes...

[QUOTE=m1573r_1337]Shanjaq! I found a bad problem. I don't know if it has been brought up yet, but when you turn on the flashlight on a planet, space goes white.

[QUOTE=Scroyall]How the hell do i play this? I copied it to the garry'smod addon folder...but where do i load it?[/QUOTE] You put the "Space Build" folder in garrysmod\garrysmod\gamemodes and put the "Life Support" folder in garrysmod\garrysmod\addons (which you need to download seperatly) Both of the downloads are on the first page.

[QUOTE=Galaxy613]I think the MAIN thing to make it more fun is for someone to create a new modelpack with pre-made ship pieces that are easily put together. I do not know the FIRST thing about making Half Life 2 physics objects though or else I would try...[/QUOTE] Well, I know how to model quite well. I am currently helping Ta16 with his C&C_Onslaught map. I do not really know what do with the .3ds file after you finish modeling it. If someone were to provide a video tutorial on how to go from .3ds to .mdl, you might just get your wish.

[QUOTE=Necrokutan]I love the mod, it's something that I've waited for, for a long time. There's only one problem I have; I'm a little annoyed by the fact that if you try to make another planet inhabitable, the air exchangers and the like, only go a certain distance before you can't be effect by them anymore, I know this is for certain reasons but is there a way to attach it to some kind of brush around the planets so it will effect the entire planet instead of having to build them anywhere you want to go? [b]Edit:[/b] First off, you need all of the mods that go with the map, you can find them on the original post. Second, what are you talking about? The air tanks connect to air exchangers or the suit dispensers to supply air so that they can run. Though you need to fill up air tanks with air through oxygen scrubbers instead of air compressors on planets other than Earth because of the lack of air... </ramble> [b]Edit:[/b] Holy God, does that say 9 hours? I'm not sure if I've ever played GMod for that long...[/QUOTE] I have the same air in all the planets.

Um, I have a problem. I've been using the airboat seat, and my spacing must be messed up because when I get out of the seat I end up outside instead of in the ship. This, as you might guess, is bad. Is there a way to fix the seat to put you backwards instead of up? Because this is getting annoying.

What I do is use a pod or seat in a spot where that is not a problem, and switch to a camera in the cockpit.

I've got another problem with this mod. (Don't get me wrong the mod itself is great) It's not just the flashlight now. I turned that off. For starters, when I go outside the atmosphere, I just get a large black and pink check box aroud the whole map. Also, when I create any life support items, that's when the skybox around earth goes white, all the planets go white. I don't know what to do. I've read this thread wholly (before anyone says) Can anyone help please.

Just remembered a problem. I can't get the gamemode to work. someone had a Lua fix but the link is dead. Can someone help me?

BUMP Does no-one have a solution to this problem? Edit: None at all? Come on people. i have server to run here. It all goes white when someone uses a tool.

I just played this on a random server. There was a guy spamming and I couldn't build jack shit - but the whole idea seems incredible. Good Job!

Indeed it is. Game likes to bug out a lot but if you can find a good server it's pretty damn fun. Got old though. Moar laz0r please.

Just out of curiosity, what's going to be "Chapter: 2"?

I love this Game mode very much but, I'm also very curious on what chapter 2 will be.

[QUOTE=JetBoom] Anyway, I rescripted a bunch of this stuff so that it won't error and break the script, and that it will run off of a single Lua script instead of a gamemode. All you need to do is place this script in your garrysmod/lua/autorun/server directory (delete the gamemode if you have it still and just run off of sandbox) and it will [b]run ONLY when it is on gm_spacebuild.[/b] I've been using it on my construction server and it works great now. [url]noxiousnet.com/spacebuild.zip[/url][/QUOTE] The link doesn't work. Does anyone have it? I can't get the mode to work.

Chapter 2: Asteroid belt? not many planets you can land on without being crushed into a oblivion, once you pass Mars, besides Pluto or the moons or something.

Maybe in Chapter 2 you could have Xen based planets. That might be a cool twist.

Frank- I say skip the realism and just have fun. I would LOVE to be able to fly to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus and actually explore even more. To be hindered by "realisms" in a game that is based off already unrealistic subjects... is just silly. There are plenty of other "facts" you would have to deal with if you are going for pure realism. Put in the damn gas giants and lets party!

Everyone asking about Chapter 2, look in the upper right of this page, there's a link named "Search this thread". Use it to find out what he said about Chapter 2 and 3, and I KNOW he has already said it.

Need...chapter...2... Can't wait for the next installment (more/bigger planets?)

[QUOTE=Shanjaq][b]Update[/b] Chapter 2 will be Jupiter and Saturn with their moons and Asteroids. Chapter 3 will probably be Uranus, Neptune and the Kuiper Belt(and Pluto!)[/QUOTE] Search. =)

I joined Shan's dedicated spacebuild server for the first time in a while since it hasn't updated lately and someone names Max had spammed earth with tons of props and I happened to forget the !freeplanet command it is something like that. :(

I was floating in space, waiting for rescue, (It never came) when I had a idea. What if you had the screen fog up and or freeze? For the temperature changes or when you are about to run out of air? Just draw client side I think. Would that work? And I still can't space gamemode to work. Someone help please?

[QUOTE=Naes Draw]And I still can't space gamemode to work. Someone help please?[/QUOTE] Describe your problem for those of us lazy to go through and look to see if you already have.

[QUOTE=StickyNade]Describe your problem for those of us lazy to go through and look to see if you already have.[/QUOTE] Ok. I start up garry's mod. Set the gamemode to spacebuild. Load the spacebuildV2c map. Spawn and there's no damage from space or planets. All the Life props are there in Q. Need more? I'll check if it says that I have the mode on or not. Be back in about 7 min. Ugh. [b]Edit:[/b] Ok, TAB says that Spacebuild is on. Help? Everything SHOULD be up to date.

One thing that would be nice for the next version of the map, would perhaps be some func_physbox solar sails, to stick onto your ships and stuff to provide surfaces for the solar panels. You could even stick the panels onto the sails when you spawn it, seeing as you can place SENTs in hammer. [b]Edit:[/b] You could add a few different func_physbox spawnables, would be really useful for building, and might even reduce lag by making you need fewer props.

We were playing around with the stargates: [URL=http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gmspacebuildv20107ze5.jpg][IMG]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5158/gmspacebuildv20107ze5.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] "I got to venus...." Classic.

Very nice mod!!! Gold star.
