Trouble in Terrorist Town: a Gamemode of Mystery and Deception
70 replies, posted
It would be nice if the innocent terrorists could also buy equipment that would further help them in the investigation of who is the traitor. I'm not sure exactly what equipment this would be since I've only played this gamemode a few times, but I'm just throwing out some ideas.
Yeah i agreed, maybe a knife?
So you could stab, the traitor down.
And take hes weapon.
Well a knife is ok but I meant something that would actually aid the innocents in finding a traitor. Knife's are just used to kill someone unless a traitor kills with a knife then it doesn't really help. I meant like a forensics kit or something along those lines that had a percentage based chance of having the right answer, say 50%.
It's always fun to walk around with a discombulator (Is it how it's written? That grenade that pushes props and players..) and hold it for a while, you'll most likely die or manage to climb on buildings. (Haven't confirmed that, I once holded a discombulator for too long, it exploded and I went up, up and away I go.. Down. Died but laughed.

If anyone wants to play on a fun TTT server with lots of players feel free to join.
We've added a map voting system and some other stuff, have fun!
The .FGD is full of very useful entities for anyone who wants to make TTT map, which is precisely what I intend to do. Thank you. :)
Do you mean bandage or firstkid or something like that?
This gamemode is decent, the players who play it aren't.
The amount of backdoors / deliberate exploits in this gamemode are immense.
Looks fun, I'll try later.

Like what? I've played this gamemode for 3 days in a row now, i just love it. Never noticed anyone playing unfair. Except for some admins that teleported themselves. But that wasn't because of TTT, i guess.

It only becomes apparent when you see the code.
Update: A function returning an odd value caused me to think that. It doesn't actually have backdoors.

Totally agree on that.
And to this

Really? Try this, look for someone acting suspicious. Shoot him, and watch them all bitch and moan. RDM = Queer, gayest rule ever created. You can't get anything done and It leaves you waiting for the terrorists to shoot you in the face. And if you do in fact kill a terrorist from a hunch, then people bitch and moan even more.
Since when do terrorists play nice?

That's what I keep saying in every server I play on. You RDM an innocent, they don't bitch too much. You RDM a traitor, they go insane.
Another thing that makes me rage is the fact that a MAC10 is more lethal than the M16. An assault rifle beats a machine pistol any day of the week. And if in face it WAS an M16, it should be burst fire not nerfed so bad that you can fire 2 shots at the guy and he has time to pull out a MAC10 and kill you easily
bloody great gamemode might I say.
[QUOTE=|FlapJack|;20686311]The amount of backdoors / deliberate exploits in this gamemode are immense.[/QUOTE]
Could you clarify what you mean here? I take backdoors to mean exploits that I (as only developer of the gamemode) would have put in for me or others to use to gain an advantage. If these exist, it would surprise me, because I have never implemented anything like that. In fact, if exploits exist I'd be happy to hear about them so I can fix things.
If you are referring to the potential for cheating if a player has some method of bypassing ScriptEnforcer, then you would be correct (though I wouldn't call them deliberate exploits). Then again, that's the case for any gamemode that hides information that Source insists on sending to all clients.
You might also mean certain admin-only commands that print who killed who and whether they were traitor/innocent. These were all much-requested by admins to resolve the whining and disagreements that occur about whether someone "RDM"-ed and other dumb stuff. They only exist for server rule enforcement and are only available to super-admins and up, or via RCON. Any server admin looking to exploit could easily write them himself. As with any game you can't do much more than trust server admins not to be terrible.

For the record, I don't like how people go nuts over whatever they perceive to be "RDM" either, but I have little influence on servers, let alone the people that play on them.
Regarding the weapons, they are balanced to fill certain roles with no regard for realism. The M16 is meant more for mid-range combat, where the MAC10 is for shorter ranges. The names are really only based on whatever CS:S model I had access to that fit that role somewhat.
You should also try fixing how unstable the gamemode is, it often causes a whole server of people to have their GMod crash.

Would seem a confusion of what is returned by server_settings.Bool lead me to believe ttt_debugbullet could shoot bullets while cheats was off. Since it returns false, it won't happen.
I'm curious, was this gamemode inspired or based off the old Murder gamemode by Gmod4Ever? It was a fairly popular gamemode which ran on the Chillzone servers before the community died around a year ago. I've been working on remaking the game and realize I might come off as a copycat of TTT rather than a remake of Murder. Well, that's assuming I ever complete it, but that's another story.
I've also noticed the description "A Game of Mystery and Deception" is strikingly similar to Murder's :v:
Can any one host? I would love to play this.
I posted a link to my 30 slot server on the previous page, which is hosted on a dedi box, have fun.

I didn't own Gmod before I started work on TTT, so I can't say I'm familiar with Murder. I don't claim the concept at all though, many of the elements exist even in real world party games like Mafia/Werewolf.
The tagline isn't mine, I don't actually use one anywhere (name is plenty long already).

Servers list "terrortown" as the game in the server browser. There are a bunch of dedicated servers up.

Got a server up with this gamemode.
Last day I've been killed by a damn prop falling on me, damn you box!
Decided to pop up a server for this.
[b][url=steam://connect/188.165.193.84:27014]Connect[/url][/b]
Few details about it:
Location: EU (France)
Datacentre: OVH @ 1Gbps switchport
Hardware: i7 @ 2.6Ghz, 12GB DDR3 RAM (8GB addressed)
Scriptenforcer - enabled
Custom anticheat - will configure for the server tomorrow.
FastDL - Yes.

This is the best gamemode ever.
Favorite gamemode. Spent a lot time on this.
Why have I not tried this yet.
How's the learning curve as either of the classes? I may give this a shot tonight.
