All great ideas

I usually try to find a synergy between the game type and the map I use (since adapting existing maps is where my gamemode is to work its magic). First I find a good map, then I try to imagine what sort of game type can be played on there. Good thing Source has such an amazing backlog of high quality maps.

Wrote a blog post about the shop system I want to use:

Thoughts? Ideas? Fire away!

Remember - In a gamemode like this the gunplay is one of the most important things in the game. Maybe try moving away from CS:S's old, bland gunplay and make something new and fresh.

Oh goodie.

125 MB doesn't sound like too much.

[Clavus]

Compressed it will probably be around 80MB(?). Still a lot though. I'm busy downscaling weapon textures to save space. You won't see a difference anyway, most textures are way larger than they need to be (gamebanana modellers usually make 1024x1024 textures full of minor details nobody notices anyway).

We are getting a new hud right? The Gun Run hud really does not suit it.

Other than that it looks TASTY!

The HUD in my last screenshot will be the HUD upon launch. Afterwards I want to rework the HUD so it's different for both teams, and has a less generic visual style.

However I have no idea what the design will be so feel free to make suggestions

[Raptor]

Ah. And I was already wondering when I saw 'Clavus's amazing test server' on the server list.
I am already looking forward

Is that compressed or uncompressed?

[Clavus]

Uncompressed. But the majority (read: all) ZS content isn't compressed on the downloadserver so it's pretty much the same. Usually we only compress maps and such.

[Griffon]

M29 is the huge as revolver of kermites right?I love that thing, any chance in you putting a scope on it? xD

[Clavus]

Instead of finalizing the shop menu and loadout system like I should, I keep getting distracted by other tasks (which will still benefit the gamemode).

Updated my Particle Effect Tester tool on Toybox for example:
http://toybox.garrys...050&tab=details

[EmRA]

where has this tool been all my life

[Clavus]

The new shop interface. Thoughts?

[VMR]

Looks cool. When will it be used? Will you have shops in certain maps where you buy gear and go back to the war, or is it at spawn?

[Clavus]

You can open the shop at any time (although it's recommended not to do it in the middle of a fight ). It depends on your loadout with what you spawn.

Buying a weapon will be permanent. I'm still trying to think out if I want certain stuff to have limited uses and such (like special abilities), which you can stock up on.

[Botervloot]

Needs filterable categories of the guns themselves somewhere.

Filters on things like price, power, experience and class. Descriptions will probably be more detailed. It would be neat if you'd get a 3D spin-around of the weapon when you click for more details.
