Newbie question

Sorry, I just got Half Life 2. How do I make a custom game in Deathmatch with just gravity guns? Thanks.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I...have no idea sorry.:x

 

[LiamFly]

I thought it would be a popular game type for sure.

that sounds like it would be fun... try looking in some of the other forums, try Valve help... modifications.... maybe the scripting forumes... but that sounds like it would be fun... i think it would be even better if you could script it to be able to simply hit people with the grav gun like you can the head crabs and antlions with out killing them... you know like just kinda blast them back... but ya... if you get it working post name of the server cuz I'd like to try that.

 

[LiamFly]

It's so confusing because I can't find game options anywhere! The only settings I can see are frag limit and a few other things like whether to have flashlights or not.

This is an option.

But it's really old.

Thanks, I'll try figure out what exactly that is.

But let me get this straight. In order to customize game settings like weapons, you have to make a mod? Every other FPS on the market allows players to customize games to a good degree. But HL2 DM doesn't? What is going on?

 

[The Brick]

I don't know. I personally don't play HL2:DM but that's the most relevant thing I could find with google.

I added it to my Source Mods directory but it doesn't show up in Steam. Are you sure this isn't for Half Life 1?

 

[kacation_man]

I dont think you would have to make a mod.... I know there are no settings for it but im sure something could simply be scripted... I've been to a bunch of custom scripted servers... they mostly exist in CS:S but its the same engine so im sure it would be pretty easy to script something like " smg 0 " or something like that... I dont really know much about the engine or its script, just a few cheat codes...

 

[LiamFly]

Hmm... there's an idea... I'll try turning of weapons that way.

I wish there was a manual!

EDIT: Isn't the ~ button supposed to open the console? FOr some reason nothing happens when I push it.

 

[kacation_man]

go to settings>keyboard>advanced>developers console...

find some scripts though... there might already be one...

 

[LiamFly]

What are scripts?

It's a sourcemod with a gravitygun, made to work on steam. Those are 3 things why it's not for half-life 1.

 

[kacation_man]

you know, just the codes and what not you put into the console... its just fancy word for codes or comands.

 

[Naudian]

^ it's a little bit more than that.

I don't know how one would go about doing this but I'm pretty sure it would involve a text editor and some documentation...

wait!? wtf??? what is he trying to do now?

The Brick sent me a link to a mod, which I read, and the description didn't seem to specify what game the mod was for. So I was just making sure but now he's getting smart.

EDIT: Shouldn't there be custom games being played already? Can't I just find one of them? Or am I the first person to think of using a single weapon in a match instead of the default ones?

 

[kacation_man]

ok, i dont know how to do it but im sure its probably the same way as setting the restricted weapons on CS:S, evey one is always setting restritions on the flash bangs, awp, and auto snipers... just find out how its done and apply it to all the HL2: DM weapons excludeing the grav gun.

I installed this and the commands do nothing.
