Winter Survival - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=mjoeen]Thanks :) Themaw, you still don't know how to make snow in you maps?[/QUOTE] i don't know how to make it snow particles :I only like texture floors and all that if you haven't played on my server i used my own maps :)

Oh god, I LOVED this gamemode back in GM9, despite the bugs! :D

[QUOTE=Night-Eagle]I'm somewhat afraid that people will not figure out how to disable the help menu.[/QUOTE] I'm just too lazy to close it when I start, lols

Can anybody tell me how the heck you add content like buildings? I tried all night, but simply can't figure out where the heck to specify that I want for example... A chair! And then what resources it takes and so on, can anybody tell me that? And where to add resources? I just want to add some, I don't want them to be all around the map when it's generated. Cause really, I can't find anything in this code, it really irritates me. :( Besides, I like this gamemode, it's actually really cool. :D

I became the master of the gamemode on CCZ server, except I don't know how to make a bow or string. I made 3 people my slaves, killed off two non-believers, then killed off my slaves. After that, there was one guy left and he was charging me and I threw one rock at him and he died :). How do I make string and a bow?

When will you cease to amaze me? Great game mode, it's like stranded execpt with less gay.

[QUOTE=Termy58]I'm more afraid people spend to much time shitting around then killing each other.[/QUOTE] This annoys me a lot too, but I can see that change when you get a sort of readyroom for people to team up with each other on 2 to 4 tribes and try to win. I think that tribing will give a lot more competition then it currently is, but only if the gamemode gets enough buildings and materials to last a wholly hour or 3 of building stuff and all. [B]Edit:[/b] Maw, you're a big failure.

I hate the fact that when I'm trying to make a campfire some asshole comes and wacks me in the head with a rock at the beginning of the round then I have to spend 20 minutes flying around a crow

Sorry if this has been answered before, I just can't find the search bar. Anyways, I would really love to know how to make maps for this gamemode, or what entities to create to make the plants, wood, rocks, etc. Help is much appreciated! -MrGibblet

It is on the first post. Two info_target one named survival_spawn the other named whatever you want(I picked human names at random) make sure that random name is the parent of survival_spawn(in the properties for survival_spawn it should say the others name). Make them across from one another top left to bottom right(does not matter which is in upper left as far as I know, if it fails switch them) make all of the survival_spawn one unit higher than the others, make sure it is one unit, it will act like a multiplier and any more than one should lead to massive drops, no height difference multiplier is 0 and you get 0. You can have as many survival_spawn pairs but make sure that the other name is different for each pair. Try not to have very many of them fall in the water or physics lag will result. I think that is it. Oh yea, do NOT make them overlap. Never did it myself but it is a bad idea(or so I was told). To make sure they do not overlap I recommend creating a brush and aligning the info_targets to the upper and lower corners and use those to set it all up so you don't miss anything or overlap, then add them to a vis group and disable them(so you can bring them back if you need to make changes and they will not compile into the map). I think that is it.

Ok so basically make a rectangle of info_targets named survival_spawn? 1 Quant higher than the other. A quant is the smallest unit possible in hammer. EDIT: Read the first post, i know what to do now! Thanks! :)

[QUOTE=g1real] Maw, you're a big failure.[/QUOTE] you fail. you don't know the meaning of the word "Settlement" i just don't understand why you keep ranting me. everyone loves making small villages in my server so what is exackly your problem? besides instead of keep joining my server and rant,rant,rant all day long perhabs you should just enter an other server? good luck with your rants because we all don't care about how much you hate it. we all heard you. [QUOTE=g1real]Take it to the PM's wuss, and don't spam this thread with it, because apparently the only word you know is rant, I'd like you see make the next 5 PM's without 'rant' in it.[/QUOTE] i am serious g1real. you have posted over 3 pages in this thread with hate comments on what i did to the gamemode. if you stopped hating me and my version then there would be no discussion about this stupid chat. but no i can't stop because you keep up with the hate comments so its you who continue it on my server and on this thread. Dismissed. Night-Eagle and termy when are you finished with the team system? were all waiting for it :D so we don't have to kill eachother at the end :( there have been a huge talk about fishing to. and the bird-inventory for bird nests and eggs

Ok, I'm having a bit of a problem. I compiled my map, compiled smoothly as it should. Runs fine in half life 2, but in garry's mod I set my gamemode to wintersurvival, load up my map, but then garrysmod crashes on the loading screen on "Loading resources..." It crashes without warning, instantly goes back to my desktop. Any help?

Any help?[/QUOTE] you might have set the info_targets to many inches away from each other. make it so the eight difference between the 2 info_targets are about 1 or 2 inches (likely the smallest squares on hammer)

I think you're right, I selected the survival_spawn target and the corresponding target, found out they were all 2 units instead of one. EDIT: Didn't work, with a fast compile that is. I'm doing a complete compile right now. Maybe I'm doing the info targets wrong? Here's how I'm doing them: [img]http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/1973/diagnoloe6.png[/img]

we need a quick guide to creating stuff, im not sure how to use the crystal hammer, and how to make a knife.

There is one thing that needs to be fixed. I was on a server and i had already died, then the (alive) remaining players left the server so i had to wait to respawn. That needs to be fixed, like when there is no alive players the round will restart.

termy, I did a full compile, garrysmod still crashes on loading resources. It works on sandbox mode, but not wintersurvival mode.

[QUOTE=mrgibblet]termy, I did a full compile, garrysmod still crashes on loading resources. It works on sandbox mode, but not wintersurvival mode.[/QUOTE] How big is the square spawning items? in xyz hammer inches?

Hell if I know. I know I have 3, ones as big as half of the map, the other 2 are relatively small, I'm guessing about 1000 units. Smallest grid. EDIT: Oh found it, the dimensions of my first square are 3572x2096. Ok so I'm going to do the math to find the triangle, then find the hypotenuse for my distance on the diagnol plane. According to the MS Calculator and my calculations, My first rectangle of targets, they are 4141.5456052058632377365334272769 units away.

Just select the 2 info targets and look at the numbers at the edges o-O

I think I found the solution anyways, I duplicated my map, deleted all the info targets, tried putting the child 1 unit under the parent instead, Garrysmod went all the way to initializing game resources then froze i guess, because i waited like 30 minutes and it didn't load.

Hey, i played this mod... How did you make your bow? Is it similar to this? if you made the bow you can create in game, maybe you can create something like this [url]http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=19175[/url] it's broken and i can't find it anywhere... I would need some help.

The bow is easy -.- Plank + Sap + Vine

I told you not to overlap their zones. I'm sure there is a reason I was told not to. I also told you only one grid unit of height difference, you should not have ended up with two. I have no idea what you did wrong but my instructions were as simple as I could think of.

Thanks for all the help, I'll post if I have any problems.

Have you tried removing the survival_spawn pairs and starting it in the gamemode?

[QUOTE=youaremea]Have you tried removing the survival_spawn pairs and starting it in the gamemode?[/QUOTE] Nope, but I tried in a different game mode and it worked, so it's most likely the targets, and I think I found an overlapping pair. EDIT: Fixed the overlap, still crashes without warning on Loading resources. Do you by any chance have msn? It would be alot better if we talked there.
