• Suicide Barrels GameMode for GMod 10

This is my favorite Gamemode in Garry's mod.
[QUOTE=joseph3000]I too think the game is fun until the team balance thing comes up. It is a lot more fun to play as a barrel. So.. I kind of like your idea... but what if we did for every 5 deaths as a barrel you become a human, and for every 5 kills as a human you get to go barrel. With the way my new scoring code works, you could pretty much stay a barrel as long as you don't get killed and you don't miss-fire. Too many deaths and misses would make you a human. And as a human, obviously you'd just have to kill 5 barrels. That way, as a barrel you have an incentive to stay alive and also kill well. And as a human, you have an incentive to find the barrels. Even multi-killing a barrel would work out because they report as the shot barrel killing the surrounding barrels, so if you got a multikill, you'd pretty much screw a barrel over by making it become human![/QUOTE] The same principal applies so I don't mind the changes at all.
[QUOTE=rich_is_bore]The same principal applies so I don't mind the changes at all.[/QUOTE] Great! Now if only the wiki had actual info on it so I could learn how to program this in. :O Anyone want to help me learn how to use variables in lua? If anyone's interested, we regularly put up a server around 7:00 EST called "asdf". It uses the code I wrote to score properly. There are a few surprises on the way too that will add a little humor to the game. But our server has been known to get really ridiculous with the inside jokes, and it's a lot of fun so I invite anyone interested to look out for us.
Hmm, Unlike in Gmod9, when I change maps it doesn't keep the gamemode. When I make the server change maps, how do I re-start the game?

I'd like to hear what anyone has to say about this. In other news, I got the 5 kills/5 deaths team switching thing to work. I'm trying to write a team balancer though that checks for teams of 0 players and takes the best/worst person and switches them, but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have code to find the player with the most deaths/kills? I thought I had it but apparently not. [b]Edit:[/b] I added a funny secondary fire to the barrel slayer that screams "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!" yesterday. :)
what does it go under so i can play!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=Whitesinner0]what does it go under so i can play!!!!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE] Well lets look at the readme that came with this file, which apparently you didn't read. It is called "Readme" for a reason. [quote]-----Version 1.1----- To install simply extract the "garrysmod" folder included in the zip over your "garrysmod" folder and click yes to replace. Don't worry this won't replace your files, it will only add the SB files to your garrysmod folder in t[/quote]
I tried to download it from garrysmod.org and the link was broken

Someone said to type Gamemode_set gamemodefolderhere in order to set a dedicated game mode. My question is- where do I put this command? Thank you.

The Console is activated by presing ~ If pressing ~ does nothing, the console is not on. Somewhere under options [I think under controlls] there is a button labeled "Advanced". Hit it, and check the active developer console. And yes other guy, that's where you put it I'm pretty sure.

And for the second time, yes, it goes under /garrysmod/garrysmod/
I exracted it to Garry's mod directly but still doesnt work!
[QUOTE=Whitesinner0]I exracted it to Garry's mod directly but still doesnt work![/QUOTE] Ok, lets try a different approach since can't figure it out for yourself. Extract the .rar to your desktop, go into the folders until you see two folders, "Gamemodes" and Maps". Copy them, and paste them in your Gmod folder, previously mentioned.
To earlier questions about keeping the gamemode when you change maps. sv_defaultgamemode is your friend. :eng101:

This would be really fun... too bad i have satellite :mad:
Does anyone know where I can get the gmod 9 version. I don't have gmod 10 yet and this looks very fun.
this is fun :D
This is actually fun, for the first couple minutes... there were like 10 people on my server and we were all playing, and we just got sick of it. It is a great gamemode, but it isn't entertaining for long.
how do i play it
Why is the link going at 0.2kb/s and then why does it stop and not continue?
I wish people actually played this right. Every time I'm a server the humans just camp in a corner.
Could you make so the static barrels all generated in new places every 15 min or something? Also, maybe some anti camp, so humans can't just stand in one spot, and shoot all the barrels.
greatest invention known to man. there aren't enough goldstars in the world for you.
wait, in the video: dynamic shadows? Is there something i'm missing?
Does anyone know where I can download the gmod9 version? It SHOULD be where the other gamemodes are selected (like lazerdance and birdpoo and football). But on my gmod 9 version - it's not there. But I have it for gmod 10 (my friend has gmod 9 and we want to play suicide barrel you see) and we want to do this asap, before he gets paid to get gmod 10. HUGE thanks, I just can't find the gmod 9 version anywhere!
another gmod related question(s) --- How can you change the sounds for the "hey over here". I remember the gmod9 version having them at a higher pitch.. Also - since installing, the death sound in gmod10 now is this flatline sound, even for the sandbox... how do I change this? I HATE this sound!
