Been addicted to this addon for the past day, one thing I'd like to suggest though, that being the ability to blacklist/whitelist maps based on prefixes (gm_, de_, etc).

One of the greatest gamemode made yet again. Keep it up!

would be nice if player npcs ignored spawn limits, i've had to wait 5 minutes between spawning once sometimes

ah, unfortunate

That's because they have garbage data in their stats which breaks the cost calculations. Nothing we can do about that.

private reserve weaponry doesn't seem to work with the gamemode, most of them simply don't appear in the menu

I have to comment again that this it the coolest thing Ive ever seen on GMod, I want more of this silly setting!

a setting for all players to share money could be interesting

@Vuthakral
Nothing in-particular. They should work fine barring cost-calculations.

I will be adding a way for modders to (more easily) set default prices for their weapons soon, in-case the default cost calculations produce ridiculously high or low values (which is common for projectile weapons, since we can't get any info about the projectile in-code). So if you maintain any weapon packs you could set that up if you want.

I've put it on the to-do list.

could use act3 support, (stats in the loadout screen are duplicated acrost all weapons including price) https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1631362949

We have our first fan-made extension
Adds two new mission types. Check it out :)

we-he-he-ell, gordon freeman! and about time, too!

not gonna lie gm_construct plays so well with this gamemode

im not sure why the rebels aren't attacking i think it's another mod messing with the gamemode...

Ah I see, that makes sense. I did have a feeling that the mod used npc nodes for objective placement. Hopefully you can fix the issue with the Mainframe mission sooner rather than later so it's playable on more maps, in the meantime I guess we should just stick to big maps for that mode.

Also it was the NPC navmesh navigation mod that was making the regular rebel units and Odessas friendly, as once I turned it off since it wouldn't work with this mod anyways the rebels were all properly hostile.

Hey, is there anything I can/should do on my end to support Draconic Base weapons for this gamemode? I've had people overall tell me that for the most part it works fine (barring manual-pickup/droppable weapons causing unspecified issues), but if there's anything I can specifically do to add extra support just let me know.

great mod so far, but some things i want to look for but unsure if this is a great place to suggestion vomit?

@ToiletMixture
This implies you're on a map that has no nodegraph, you should've seen a warning in chat upon loading in. NPCs probably won't be navigating to you either.

If they *are*/the game is otherwise working as intended then that could be something different (and if that is the case then tell me what map you were on).

Getting an error:
"[Map Sweepers | EXTRACTION SHOOTER] Director LUA error! See server console for details.
gamemodes/mapsweepers/gamemode/npcs/sv_npcs.lua:322: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)
1. unknown - gamemodes/mapsweepers/gamemode/sv_director.lua:1395"
Anyone know how to fix this?

@K.X.
People have reported issues with some VManip related stuff being incompatible before, so it's probably that.

@xenomega101
Intentional

one of the rebel units is fully pink for some reason,

but yes this mod is fricken amazing 10/10.

ammo pickups are broken somehow, im guessing its something to do with either vmanip manual pickup or vmanip entity drag, but could be something else

@coolboi146111
This implies your stats file is messed up somehow. That shouldn't happen in the first-place, but I'll push a fix so that it doesn't error/break things if it does soon.

@THE MAN OF $ЕХ
Maybe eventually because a few different people have requested things similar to this, but anything like that's a long way off because the gamemode wasn't built with that in-mind.

@NikitosSpetznaz
Unlikely in the base-game. Modders can easily add their own though.

this is great mod

will there be more stratagems?

nvm

This gamemode kicks so much ass! I want more of the setting too, its a riot

ok i just actually played this and HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST GAMEMODE I HAVE EVER PLAYED AMAZING JOB ON THIS HOLY SHIT DUDE

deE odpap depepro as orock galavacic deeP ROCK GA-PLFRKAFKAKDOPISAJDIOJW DEEP ROCK GALACTIC HOLY SHIT YES

One of your other addons is removing the stunstick from you. Go figure out which one that is and disable it.

i start the tutorial but i have no stun stick what is the problem ?

@Creedmoor
No, because that's too dependent on what's possible in source, and what works well in testing, neither of which are predictable. Any new content updates will be announced around the time they're going to release.

@Neosun
Maybe but that'd be low priority at the moment.

@ArcticFox146
If there are no valid positions to place an objective it can cause crashes, that's hopefully going to be fixed soon. From what I understand this is a mainframe-specific issue right now.

XP doesn't affect anything. You just gain access to entries in the codex menu

Maps need both a nodegraph and a navmesh as stated in the description. You can generate your own navmeshes with nav_generate, but nodegraphs have to be added by a level designer.

@Froze
No idea what would cause that.

i'm for some reason getting crash to desktops when defending a nuke in infestation after spawning a couple of sentries
fps was stable, cpu and gpu usage was also stable...

Sorry for the double comment, I reached the word limit on the previous one.

But does the player level affect anything? Because it seems you gradually gain xp per mission even on failed missions (which most of mine have been as I'm still learning + trying to find the right spawn cap for my skill level).

Also do maps have to have both nodes and a navigation mesh for this mode to work on it, or will using the aformentioned npc navmesh navigation mod allow maps with just navmeshes to be playable? I haven't tried it on any such maps just yet but I was intending to.

Are some mission types just not possible to play on some maps?
Because I tried playing Mainframe on one of the recommended maps, gm_born, and it froze the game up. There was an error for this addon but since the game froze I couldn't check to see what it was. I was able to play Mainframe on other maps though, however I'm assuming the rebels aren't supposed to be friendly. I don't know what addon could've messed with that though, as I don't have any ai affecting ones, except for that npc navmesh navigation one.. could that be causing problems somehow? It was just he basic rebels that were friendly + Odessa, Alyx, the helicopters, the turrets, and Dog were hostile though.

@Autumnis Prob becouse its based off helldivers and Deep rock Galactic,with iam pretty sure are both quite spammy games.

this gamemode motivated me to buy helldivers 2

gamemode feels incredible so far, but 50 npcs max feels like a rather difficult default

Sweet Liberty thats.. is.:... Helldiver! wiat..

im gonna play the absolute shit out of this

How do I turn off my own footsteps? He's too loud.

Could we have F1 be an alternative key to bring up the Orders menu? I do some pretty arcane stuff with my Garry's Mod in order to play with it on a controller. This gamemode plays *extremely well* out of the box but this seems to be the one thing that falls short of being flawless.

Thanks

@hotdog water Yeah i agree with the rebel mainframe being very hard,in multiplayer if your team isnt fast enough (i played on a server btw) there were like multiplile rebel Helicopters,and way too many rebels to get anywhere.so yeah i gave up and just killbinded

This has me hooked! Its unpredictable at times which only makes it more enjoyable for me as I have to adapt on the fly, the only missions I can't for the life of me beat are the Rebel mainframe missions. The Vast amounts of rebels that spawn often overwhelm me and before I can hack any of the terminals, though I am playing in single player which may be my problem. It's just another challenge that I may one day beat. Keep up the wonderful work!

Will we be able to change our player models in a later update?

will there be a roadmap for people to know what to expect in coming updates?
