I must learn this magic.
Here's an overview of what I've got:

Looks okay, nothing special. Could use some displacements. And Shadows.
[QUOTE=Chrisholl]Hey george are you going to take up my idea of having a second prop to make platforms?[/QUOTE]
I think we are just going to stick with crates for now. With abit of skill you can make plat forms with crates.
Also, thanks alot for all the maps you are all making.

Those maps put me to shame :(
Time to work harder, and USE MORE DISPLACEMENTS!
I'm gonna start a simple map soon, a bit like the BT_Tower one, but with the different levels. :P
I've done one extremely hard map to GMOD9 build to the top but I don't know if it would be compatible with the new gamemod.
I checked throught decompiled BT_tower.vmf file and didn't understand how the hell the lua could select right spawnpoint and also how to trigger the finish.
Anyone played on my gmod9 server would remember gm_build_extreme_..
That map is about speed and thinking and suffering pain in your wrist.
The ending is triggered with a player pressing a func_button. :)
I'm not entirely sure about the spawn points, but yeah.

Right now the spawn points are done in Lua.
What the shit, George made a GAMEMODE?
I was not aware of such things. Epic work, sir.

I did the code. He did the map.
Also. Fixing up the timers right now. Be testing on and off.
[QUOTE=H² NooB]3. You only need one guy pressing the "finish button".
-> I believe you should really use triggers and make them require to gather the full team to trigger. ( That forces you to build good. )[/QUOTE]
I think half the team, too much greifing if every last person did.
Well i was meant to get the timers working on wednesday. But i just am no good at them. I suck at the timers. just too much to think about when i'm coding them.
So, new maps. Email them to me at [email]jamie.sharpe2@hotmail.com[/email] with brief description about the map and the map name (don't just name the map file sy it in the emial too) since i'm going to do them in order as they come to me.
The spawn system is all set up so adding maps should be a slice of cake now. Vectors :sigh:
VMF or BSP?
Also can some confirmation on the ideas we've suggested? (Upgrades, Administration tools, q + e voice commands etc?)
Cool. I'll be sure to play a bit.
What I want...
* You can't spawn boxes on entities or certain textures.
* A brushtrigger that removes boxes if a box touches it.
* Colored boxes, Using entities for spawnpoints instead of lua spawn.
* Make so the whole team have to touch the end button or make a trigger as in the old one.
* Adding a removeprotector so a newbie doesn't join and remove your bridge/stair.
* Votekick inside your own team.
My thoughts...
When you can spawn boxes from all walls the game becomes pointless. Then you don't need to work as a team. On a map I did you really had to depend on your team. If not the other team certainly would win.
I cannot say...
My first try went there that when i made my own listen server (with the new tower map and the "fixed" gamemode) and came back from dinner to get play, i notice... I cannot choose, change or anything the team. Now, WHAT the FUCK? also, first one of my friends connects, he gets to choose team, then he leaves, comes back and he cannot choose team either. And as a last thing, we could NOCLIP even when the noclip option was turned off on options! What load of... hrmm.
Well, we all were set as admins, so maybe the noclipping was admin thing, but what the hell i can do with team based game where half of us are forced to spectate never ending round, when no one cannot get to play (yes, i was jumping around while round time went into -400 and i couldn´t make it stop)
I was excited, but what in hell is wrong with this. I tried the team select menu, the scoreboar doesn´t show anything that would be useful, i have the materials and sounds from first installment as said...
Really, was it just me, what the heck was wrong there?
EDIT: yeah, the big ass fixed gamemode has empty lua files, and six LUA errors for not finding files... FIX something in fix, if it breaks something do not call it a fix...
EDIT2: So, here is ALL my errors i get, basic things that are just visible by itself that i cannot choose team..:
"BuildToTheTop/gamemode/menu2.lua:2: attenmpt to index global 'VGUI' (a nil value)"
The other ones i got was when i used override on sandbox, so... I dunno. But whatever you have done great or bad work, i cannot say, i can say that it just refuses to work, like do what ran away, got beaten up on dark streets then comes back home and is angry to every people and doesn´t want to co-operate.
My computer is ruined for now, so no new maps for a while :(
(Soon)
Right now I'm using a crappy 133mhz computer which barely manages to do anything.
Just to stay in touch :)

I made a map, but you have to answer my PMs before I can release it...
Also, the gamemode is nice, but there are lots of bugs and unnecessary files.
I'm looking forward to the next version though.
I'm back, except I got banned, but someone just uploaded my map onto gmod.org without asking me.
arghh Why do they do that?
I've started on a map for this. It doesn't have a name yet but it's pretty cool.
Yes! I loved this gamemode!
EDIT: Ahhhh! It doesn't work! I really wanted to play this...
It doesn't work for me either. :(
I select the Build to the Top gamemode and the bt_tower map and click Start Game. The game starts but no selection menu. I'm stuck as a spectator.
It looks like it can't find several files:
AddScore.lua
TeamSelectvgui.lua
Menu.lua
WeaponSelectVgui.lua
DermaTest.lua
chat.lua
which eventually leads to:
BuildtotheTop\gamemode\Menu2.lua:2: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value)
Evidently I'm missing some critical files. Can anyone help out this rookie?

I'll take a look into this. Also Expect a release of an update soon! Keep your eyes on the 2nd post (mine) for updates.
I actually might just do a big ass recode of the whole thing, and do it properly this time.
A real timer.
Fully working menus that arn't empty.
No missing textures.
No missing files.
No use less/un used files.
No un used code.
Then also fix the god damn add score.
Hello JSharpe, firstly thanks for all your efforts in this gamemode. I just thought I would register to concur with the other two posters as I have been having trouble in getting it to work and pretty much getting the errors that g0dFather has been having. I wanted to get it working as I thought it would be great fun at the lans we have. Oh well hopefully another time we will get a chance to play it. Good luck with any further updates.
Cheers
Yeah, please get it working. I love teamwork gamemodes!
Yea, Please can you fix this, I'm desperate for this
[QUOTE=Sc00by22]Yea, Please can you fix this, I'm desperate for this[/QUOTE]
It works for me - but I noticed that if I do a listen server, I don't get the menus to select weapons, etc. However clients that join my game DO. So as server I had to type the following to join a team & switch my weapon (found the commands in the weaponselectvgui2.lua using notepad & it worked fine :)
team_blue
gmod_tool "freezer"

Thankyou flapinux that worked out great for me.
Sorry for the big bump but i have been away from gmod for a while and i want to know if this still works? If it does or doesn't can someone pick this up since the creator is perma banned and work on it a bit with maybe new maps?
I'm sorry for the huuuuge bump but I want to play this but it doesn't show up in the gamemodes list.
I put it in addons.
What am I doing wrong?
