I post too much :(
I think I should get a lot done first and then post a huge dump, instead of posting teensy weensy little stroodles like this.

I have a website now dedicated to HZ.
Instead of posting in this waywo thread, anyone who's interested in HZ can check out the content at my site:

I like your teensy weensy little stroodles though.

Edited:

I'd much rather stroodles then wait forever to see anything new from people.

Basically a Mario Kart-style surfing gamemode, you win by being the first to complete the set amount of laps. Being the fastest just isn't enough.
You can( and you should ) pick up powerup boxes that give you a random powerup that helps you or makes others' race more difficult.

Works with every surfing map, the maps just need to be set up beforehand with some tools I coded. At the moment the game is something like 40% done, the core gameplay works but there are still a lot to be fixed and added.

[COBRAa]

Perhaps you should put the boxes in places people actually surf? If you can't surf the map properly then you will never touch those ramps at all, and if you're going to go down the pro route then you will only briefly touch the ramp you are on.

Putting the boxes on the top of the ramp is just insanely stupid though, they need to at least be in the middle, if not further down towards the bottom of the ramp. Also, make sure you get surf_legends in there and the end of the map is the legends sign; I would do a whole lap in just over a minute

Or just have the boxes in the air. Not even near the ramps.

I already have set up surf_legends, my time was something like 1:14. I just find the map a bit problematic for powerups because of the fog and how you can't see them until they're already in front of you.
Hey, if anyone has any suggestions for a good looking surf map, tell me because fullbright maps( also the most popular ones ) just can't look good. I already have surf_skyworld set up.

On surf_skyworld, they are floating in the air after the first ramp, but it's a time-consuming process to position them in the air nicely( I need to modify my tools for that ), so I didn't bother with rebel_resistance. It's easy to position them like how they are now.

You could create a script that creates trails while you are surfing, so you can see better where to place powerups

Also, don't you just need to modify the env_fog_controller values for legends??

[dingusnin]

I think every lap you should have a ghost of your last lap, and improve :)

Gives the gamemode a kinda "pro" feel. (and not just the L4D2 font feel, as before.)

I finally found the inspiration to work on a new mayor economy system for my DarkRP edit...

[Splambob]

I picked up an old project that I shelved halfway through this semester. I dunno why I decided to do this during exam month but the answer is probably procrastination.

So today I revived Holopad (WYSIWYG wire hologram editor), ate pizza and made snowmen climb out of text files.

split everything up into different categories and then into different files.

now everything isn't crammed into one file and can be easily found :D

Awesome Splambob post

It reminds me my old idea. Something like yours but for vehicle building. Fully functional contraptions made in editor similar to PAC, where you can chose what moves, what doesn't, what kind of vehicle is it and how it should behave. Although, it's only an idea and I still have a lot to learn about lua before attempting to make that.

If someone thinks that is a good idea feel free to take it. But remember that, most of builders will hate you for that and you'll see a lot of threads "YourNick has killed all fun/gmod/building community".

For props and constraints, you can kinda do that in hammer already. VMF prefab to advdupe converter anyone?

Speaking of demos, can you re-add the tv_record command serverside, and just block filenames with naughty things in them (.bin etc), I've tried SourceTVs autorecord system and it works suprisingly well. The only thing is I'd like to be able to split up the demo files into fixed time intervals, it can be easily done in a Lua script w/ console commands but it needs tv_record to work.

[garry]

Done!

Could you add a way to enable map lighting? Or could you make it so that mat_fullbright switches back to 0 on map change because now when you play a map that has no lighting( take surf_rebel_resistance_final3 for example ), the next map has lighting disabled too (mat_fullbright 1). I would like to be able to set this value without enabling cheats. If there is a way to do this currently, please let me know.

[Spencer Sharkey]

Its disabled because it can be considered a fullbright "cheat" when players use it where they aren't supposed to.

If you're answering prayers, could you add an apply torque function? It's a bit funny how one still doesn't exist. The only way you can do it directly is through the PhysicsSimulate function, which is more than a little odd. Looking at others code, it's kinda sad that people are using multiple ApplyForceOffset calls to simply apply some torque. AddAngleVelocity is nice, but it's not torque, and the extra division required is just excess.
