Ok, we've decided that TD is not going anywhere and we're all kinda bored of it (and so are most of the players) so we're gonna move on and develop other projects. The lobby will stay up and we'll still host TD for people to play, but we've decided to release the TD gamemode code (not the lobby) for anyone to develop, host, or play. I've stripped out all the lobby gameserver stuff, (no hax for you) and it will probably require a bit of tinkering to make it work (I haven't even tested it) but all the main stuff is there.
The download includes all maps, models and materials as well the 2 gamemodes (td2_game, td2_gamebase). It's 18mb.

As always, most lobby gamemodes come to an end

Perhaps we'll continue to develop it, who knows. We'll most likely still continue to host it though.
Awesome of you to release it!
looks good joining now :)
Who didn't see this coming?
I was wondering why the lobby was empty, damn, I was one of the few who found this relaxing and enjoyed it

[b]toweryard entertainment present to you: [i]gmod tower defense[/i][/b][/release]
[release][b]overview[/b]
tye (toweryard entertainment) are a small team working on creating several new private, but publicly playable gamemodes for you to enjoy. These gamemodes will work off a lobby system. Currently, only one gamemode has been released - tower defence - but more are to come, including population (by the maw) which is coming soon.
[b]tower defence[/b]
you've all played those simple yet addicting tower defense flash games (well, most of you have). Gmod td is based upon exactly the same concept - defend your castle from waves of creeps by placing towers around the path.
[b]population[/b]
also coming soon to our servers!

[b]the servers[/b]
the gamemode uses a lobby system in order to organise the players into games. Please be aware, this is the [i]only[/i] reason we use a lobby system for this - if there was a better way to organise players into games, we would have used that instead. We picked the lobby system after we decided on the gamemode, not the other way round.
[b]lobby ip:[/b] 87.117.203.90
[b]lobby status:[/b] up and running
[b]gameservers:[/b] 5
[b]forums:[/b] [url]http://www.fortfn.co.uk/forum[/url]
[b]how it works[/b]
you join the lobby server, and walk a short distance to the server room. In here, are the screens showing status of all the game servers. When a server is ready, you "use" the screen and when 4 players are all "opted" in, the voting procedure starts. Once a gamemode and map are picked, after a few seconds you are connected to the game server.
When the game ends, you receive a certain amount of money that stays with your account. You can view and spend this money back at the lobby, mainly on upgrades for the towers. Once you buy an upgrade, you can use it on all game servers providing you can afford it with your ingame cash.
[b]controls[/b]
left-click (while aiming at ground): Place tower
left-click (while aiming at tower): Upgrade tower
right-click (while aiming at tower): Sell tower
f3 (in setup time): Vote to skip setup time
[b]towers[/b]
when you sell a tower, you get:
- 100% money back in the 10 second timer between waves and in setup time
- 50% money back during a wave
- money back includes money spent on upgrading towers
towers there are:
- pistol tower (costs 10)
- smg tower (costs 25)
- shotgun tower (costs 40)
- sniper tower (costs 60)
- paralysis tower (costs 20)
- fire tower (costs 30)
- frost tower (costs 24)

[QUOTE=thomasfn;18472362]Way to quote the whole OP. Have a box.[/QUOTE]
sorry its just i was quoting all the stuff that it said cauze it was good and stuff
Enjoy your Box.
Shame this Ended, just think i should say that at one point;
I HAD HIGH SCORE ON SPACE INVADERS FUCK YEAH
Why do you people keep saying this is ending, it hasn't ended we still have a server up right now, its still in play and i still work on it from now and then adding in new bits.
-snip-
[QUOTE=commander204;18486274]That is exactly why noone is playing, you(whoever is still making it.) add too much things, thus over complicating. I remember playing on one of the first Stages. Where all the Enemys where buckets rollermines etc... it was really epic. And then... you changed the whole system: You started by making sort of upgrade system, it makes it shitty. There is nothing that makes you continue to play it. Then the monsters. I mean, you cant make them even more horrible then that. Before it went from small to Big.(Headcrab->Poison Zombie). Now the first round can be like Poison Zombie and then right after it Fast Headcrabs, where does it make sense? Then, the reload system. Where did you actually find that Idea? Were you drunk or something? And then the poor implementation of it. I can stand on one side of the map and reload the one that is on the other side.... Those are just some of the points that you should take in consideration when trying to make a succesful game in gmod:
-replayability
-fun[/QUOTE]
Actually i was the one who perfered the roller mines and buckets
But anyway ive started to work on td1_game the first one we had with roller mines, that will be allowed to play as well as with the current one.
and plus fun will never stay the same because if you don't have change people will just get bored of it anyway.
I put forward an idea for a tower with splash damage.
RPG/Grenade tower.
Like the idea?
its a bit useless to snip a commented post, anyway the point is, the upgreads makes it too easy for the players who are there a while, and makes it hard for the starters. and commander has a big point. i agree whit him. trugh, as far as i know, bekka [b]is[/b] coding new gamemodes and stuff, so its still being inproofed trugh its a shame that so less players are in.
