GMod Tower Open Beta - Garry's Mod

In short, some people like to ruin others' fun. There is nothing that can be reasonably done about this, given that attacks like this are based from a wide variety of IPs, and a lack of legal care in this. I'm not sure if it is actually illegal, but even if it is, law enforcement has better things to do than take down a set of bots intended to ruin a video game server.

DDOSing is illegal in the US as far as what I have read, but I am not sure how one would go about getting authorities involved. Although the bots don't just ruin a videogame server. The same bots (and the same person) can be payed/requested to DDOS anything you want according to the DDOSers twitter page. ( [url]https://twitter.com/D.e.r.p.Trolling[/url] )For some reason the forum censors it if I don't type it like that. Apparently people have a bunch of info on him like other accounts, adresses and age (16 years old) according to a pastebin he responded to.

does this one have all those stupid hats and shitty anime playermodels like the other one the idea is neat but that shit ruins everything

[QUOTE=Dachande;37423706]does this one have all those stupid hats and shitty anime playermodels like the other one the idea is neat but that shit ruins everything[/QUOTE] Stupid hats - Check Anime player models - No

The cat ears was a bit overboard in my opinion.

Pretty much accomplished almost everything I ever wanted in a zombie game :P

The admin on the forums said that they are contemplating changing to a server with DDOS protection. It costs like $575 a month though. [QUOTE=Dachande;37423706]does this one have all those stupid hats and shitty anime playermodels like the other one the idea is neat but that shit ruins everything[/QUOTE] It does have hats, (not ripped from TF2 though, its got other hats), anime playermodels aren't seen (there are midna and zelda models from twilight princess, not sure if you count those as anime). I think there MIGHT be a cat ear hat, but I haven't seen one in my time playing.

[QUOTE=Dachande;37423706]does this one have all those stupid hats and shitty anime playermodels like the other one the idea is neat but that shit ruins everything[/QUOTE] yeah those fucking visual aspects ruin everything right or maybe you should grow up and not be so bothered by imagery

[QUOTE=jakedog;37375412]Hey OP did you code the game mode? I remember talking to the creator a year or two back we discussed how he was going to do this "gmod tower project". If you remember me at all, my community closed down due to DDoS, but I think I'm gonna be a regular at the tower.[/QUOTE] Why did I get rated dumb so much? All I was asking was if he was the original creator and if he remembered asterisk community at all.

Well, that was quick. And goes GMT, gone in a flash. Rip in peace GMT 2009-2012

Our servers are back up and running. We have a new IP: 199.59.160.183:27015 Sorry for all the issues. We're doing all we can to mitigate the attacks.

I don't undersand why would someone DDoS a server running a unique and awesome gamemode.

[QUOTE=KatNotDinner;37466651]I don't undersand why would someone DDoS a server running a unique and awesome gamemode.[/QUOTE] Because they are jealous?

And still, it makes no sense.

This is one of the reasons innovation in GMod is dying.

Probably some sad in-pubescent children again buying xbox-live booters. In other news, 60% of the gmod community...

[QUOTE=KatNotDinner;37466651]I don't undersand why would someone DDoS a server running a unique and awesome gamemode.[/QUOTE] Guy gets banned. Gets butthurt. Finds DDOSer to DDOS. [QUOTE=maurits150;37467517]This is one of the reasons innovation in GMod is dying.[/QUOTE] Wait what? The gamemode itself or the DDOSing causing innovation to die?

The DDoS attacks obviously.

Just played on midtown on UCH. You need to remove that map ASAP. It is completely broken. [QUOTE=maurits150;37472803]The DDoS attacks obviously.[/QUOTE] OK just making sure.

The person DDoSing the server is probably your average 16 year old who thinks any gamemode that has nothing to do with killing cops 24/7 and having the ultimate goal being buying drugs is awful and when not DDoSing servers with creative gamemodes, he goes and plays Call of Duty or something.

He ran a service where you request a server to be DDOSed and he might do it. So I am guessing some pissed off ten year old asked him to DDOS the server and he did.

So is it up right now..?

[QUOTE=legolover122;37473268]Just played on midtown on UCH. You need to remove that map ASAP. It is completely broken. [/QUOTE] Do you mean downtown?

[QUOTE=Bletotum;37477312]Do you mean downtown?[/QUOTE] Yeah downtown.

Apparently downtown was updated. Added fun. I would try it except the UCH server is down/broken.

I have some criticism towards virus, the infected almost always wins, they need given an disadvantage. Also that they wont spawn extremly close/inside survivors.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;37492953]I have some criticism towards virus, the infected almost always wins, they need given an disadvantage. Also that they wont spawn extremly close/inside survivors.[/QUOTE] I've seen the opposite, actually. I am working on a way to fix the spawning issues though. Probably do a simple spawn cool down or something. That might actually make it harder for the infected as well. I'll see what I can do to balance it more, just keep a check on our [url=https://trello.com/board/gmod-tower/4f8d1e6c691fc20475374ff0]Trello[/url], I tend to update things quite often.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;37492953]I have some criticism towards virus, the infected almost always wins, they need given an disadvantage. Also that they wont spawn extremly close/inside survivors.[/QUOTE] Their disadvantage is that they have no long range attack, and they move at the same speed as survivors. The only problem is that they sometimes respawn inside survivors. New update. [quote] Added Blender, Billiards, Slots, and more from Elevator: Source [/quote] Fuck yeah. [editline]1st September 2012[/editline] Apparently they aren't accessible ingame yet though.
