REQUIRES HL2:EP2 & GMOD10

How To Install The Beta

1. Download this file.

www.garrysmod.com/gmbeta/gmbeta2007.zip

2. Extract it to your SourceMods folder..

i.e. C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\

It should make the folder

C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\gmbeta2007

The folder will be empty(ish)

3. Download and install Tortoise SVN

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

4. Right click on the gmbeta2007 folder, and go to "SVN Update"

It should then update. It should just download gameinfo.txt and a load of spawnicons.

When you want to check for updates again, do the same thing again.

PLEASE NOTE!!!!! It isn't released yet. This is just to get people sorted with the setup of SVN and updating.

By the way, has anyone seen the Party Mode servers popping up thanks to the SDK update? Everyone wears party hats, balloons pop out when people are hit, and the gibs are wrapped presents. :lol

Who wants to uber him?

Exit sign should have been moved just a little.

That was around before the SDK update. There's a server command called tf_birthday that does it.

Haha this game is so much fun! I started as a Soldier and I'm in love with it so much I don't want to change!

 

[Hitokage]

This becomes painfully obvious around the 10th or so hour while playing as engineer. It's almost no use playing the class on a shitty team, which is why ive mostly quit playing as them.

The team I first joined last night was making itself sparse on the front line, and at one point in dustbowl area 3 near the first cap myself and another engineer were pretty much the only people there and as much as we tried we couldn't avoid getting rolled when they brought in everyone... and some asshole was like OMG WE HAVE THREE ENGINEERS WHERE ARE THE SENTRIES after they capped it seconds later.

That's when I changed teams.

That was my pet peave about engineer, too. Nothing worse than having to defend the last CP and having spies constantly sapping your equipment. Sap, wrench, sap, wrench.

I'm pretty decent at defending against that so it's not a huge issue.

when I get on a shitty team I just play demoman for awhile. no one class is going to change the tide of things, but at least demo/soldier can nade/rocket spam and take out some people.

I've made some game changing performances as soldier when my team has a half-decent medic. Otherwise there's only so many I can kill on my own.

 

[Xizk]

Just got kicked because of reserved slot. Did you get my pm Icy with my steamID?

 

[1-D_FTW]

Some good games. I should have medic'ed you after the match you medic'ed me Ricard, but I'm a pretty lousy medic. As long as we kept winning, I figured I'd stay with the class that helps the team the most. I like to stick with soldier unless we're getting beaten and we really need a different class.

 

[vultureparade]

Anyone wishing to use my Public Ventrilo..

VA1.LeetVent.com:3974

Hey Icy, would it be possible to change to the Speex codec so mac users can use the server too? For chatting and such in osx.

 

[Firestorm]

Kicked: Reason kicked by console

But I have a reserved slot? Did you randomly kick me Icy or is the reserved slot system buggy?

 

[Big-E]

I am getting the same thing.

 

[Icy]

Hey Icy, would it be possible to change to the Speex codec so mac users can use the server too? For chatting and such in osx.

hmm didn't know that was an issue for mac users.

 

[Icy]

Speex is enabled!

 

[vultureparade]

Speex is enabled!

Hmm, I'm still getting this message when I join -- "This version of the Mac client requires that the server be configured for the Speex codec, but the server you just connected to uses the GSM 6.10 codec. Inbound and Outbound voice comm will not function."

Oh Mac ventrilo

 

[Jacobi]

Something weird happened last night:

I sapped a sentry (sorry guys, I also mostly play engineer and hate spies), but the dispenser next to it "healed" it and my sapper disappeared... Didn't know that works...

What computer are you running vulture? I'm running boot camp on my iMac. Why wouldn't the PC version of Vent work?

 

[vultureparade]

I'm running a macbook pro. I also have boot camp running, and the vent works great in windows. I was just hoping to use it for some chatting while I'm in osx "working" :lol

Hay guyz, I finally jumped in and purchased... downloading now.

You'll be on the gaf server right? I'd like to apologize in advance.

Edit; What class are you thinking of playing? I could share a few tips on the common newbie mistakes.

I didn't know there was a GAF server, and I would like to play a Medic. My twitchy shooting sucks so I guess if nothing else I can contribute positively elsewhere XD

I woulda got the Xbobx 360 version, but the lag issues would really put me off.

 

[omgimaninja]

I would start out as a soldier when you begin playing. It's probably the easiest to play off the bat.

Medic is fun, but if you've never played before people might be yelling at your if you're not doing a good enough job of healing/ubercharging.

I concur. Unless there's already a medic on the team. At least then you can get a feel for the game without the pressure of a half dozen people yelling medic.

Once you get a feel for the maps, don't be afraid of dabbling in the other classes too. Even if your shooting isn't spectacular.

Aside from what everyone else said, if you want to learn to play medic catch a game with puyo and watch what he does. Generally though, heal everyone, as a medic its not a good idea to stick to one target, a lot of newbie medics pick a heavy and just latch onto him ignoring all other players, this is really the worst thing you could do as a medic. So long as you heal everyone who needs healing, you should do fine. Oh and always avoid the line of fire, avoid running into actual battles until you know you can trust your rocket dodging skills.

That reminds me, take these anti spy tips to heart, as medic the bolded is the most important.

Spies will become extremely annoying otherwise :

1) Learn the location of different classes, ie, is there a engineer in a location where engineers don't often go? Shoot the hell out of them. This is also true for offensive classes walking backwards, offensive classes never go backwards, unless of course they're about to die.
2) Shoot at them, if they make any attempt to dodge your shots, its a spy. This is specially true with soldiers, your teamates will never attempt to dodge your rockets.
3) If you see yourself colliding with an ally, that's a spy. There's very little hit detection between you and your teamates to the point where you can basically walk right through them, this isnt true for spies. Also, if you see someone walking suspisiouly towards your back, that's a very good way to identify a spy who's trying to back stab. It's hard to explain it but there's something about the way they walk in a sort of circle towards your back.
4) Look to people who arent shooting, if one of your ally seems to be running around doing alot of nothing, that's a telltale sign of a spy, this last one's harder to notice unless you're really observant.
5) Whenever possible have your back against a wall.
6) Finally, when you're by yourself, be a bit paranoid, and flip to your back every once in a while, you might get lucky and find a spy uncloaking.

I got it, bug Icy to put it on the server tonight.

Edit : I just looked through the screen shots and that outside environment looks like sniper hell, my snipers are scum alarm is really going off.

Good advice I will no doubt forget within 30 seconds of booting and become really frustrated :lol

You can go base to base in the trenches and tunnels if you want to avoid snipers. There are three ways in.

 

[1-D_FTW]

That was a wicked crash. Usually when the server goes down, the IP address is still showing. It's completely gone from the favorite menu.

 

[Hitokage]

Ok... server just barfed.

 

[adg1034]

Icy- PM sent for reserve list.

Only complaint that the level is too huge.

 

[McBradders]

The game looks incredible, but the Gravel Pit was not kind to my noobiness at all.

 

[MrPing1000]

So I presume theres no way to restore your stats after that damn bug?

Didn't realise that the steamid one got wiped as well just thought it was the ingame one. Lovely.

 

[PillowKnight]

+1'd not the level itself though, but the outside area and sewers in between the bases.

 

[Confidence Man]

Yeah, I've already moved them closer together for the next version.

 

[Uncle AJ]

Someone bring me up to speed: what's this "ReservedSlot" nonsense, and why I haven't I been able to join the GAF server all week?

 

[Hitokage]

 

[Icy]

Please see this post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7986690&postcount=1940

Did I mention Central is returning? yes/no?

 

[The Storyteller]

Annnd I just broke my long standing record for most points as a medic. Yay me.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Hey Icy are you just making a certain amount of slots reserved or how are you working that out of curiosity?

 

[Icy]

its been explained multiple posts earlier. read the thread pls.

Couldn't you return West instead of Central? >_>

 

[Hitokage]

Annnd I just broke my long standing record for most points as a medic. Yay me.

*looks it up*

Haha, that's pretty good. Certainly more than a medic could get with me when I'm not restrained from charging into enemy front lines. I really should be more mindful of that.

EDIT: Just looked at puyo's stat page. Holy shit.

 

[PillowKnight]

Wow that's higher than my most points with any class (Spy-34) , I wonder who has the highest most points...after 30 or so I find it extremely hard to get points. Not only do you have to stay alive that long, but you also have to get the map to last long enough.

Edit : Saw puyo's 51 holy shit.

 

[Icy]

Both servers updated and back online. I think I fixed Reserved slots. Lets hope!

 

[The Storyteller]

Edit : Saw puyo's 51 holy shit.

EDIT: Just looked at puyo's stat page. Holy shit.

Puyo's 51 is my goal to be beat. I did notice I have a highr healing than he does.
All in good time.

*looks it up*

Haha, that's pretty good. Certainly more than a medic could get with me when I'm not restrained from charging into enemy front lines. I really should be more mindful of that.

You are actually one of my favourite medic buddies. I'm sure i wouldn't of gotten my previous record without your help.

I must admit that from watching Puyo, I've adopted his uber and retreat method. I used to follow my uber buddy right into the thick of it, now I just run away once the uber runs out, so i can save my own ass, then they usually die but somehow I'm fine with that.

 

[Hitokage]

I dunno, maybe it's just the time I spent playing today where I kept jumping into situations that were over my head(more than usual anyway) and I'm unsure if I handled them as well as I could have even after the initial lapse in judgement... as well as other spots in the past several days where I've had to work with non-career medics or medics of lesser ability and few of them could claim to live very long.

Ah well, I'm sure I'll have a match that'll make me feel better about it soon enough. Live and learn, I suppose.

 

[evlcookie]

I can't even reset the damn stats. Is this a bug or any one know another way to reset them ? I dont believe it has been updating my class stats at all, especially the solder. I am damn sure i have gotten more than 21 in a round.

And puyo is an insane healer, easily one of the best if not the best i have seen in TF2.

Also anyone want to let me kill them 10 times with a sentry gun? :lol

 

[Hitokage]

All those stat records are per life, not per round.

...and get icy to load well classic or avantiville. It's easy to get the sentry gunner achievement in those maps.

 

[evlcookie]

oh per life. Hrm well that doesn't help me get a high school since i always charge in. :lol

And i got 9 fucking sentry kills at dustbowl today, so pumped and then a bloody demoman came along and ruined it all. After that my engineer life was all downhill.

 

[Hitokage]

My first truly high record was set while defending dustbowl area 3(the time I dominated 8 different people on the other team), then I think I broke it twice defending point B in gravelpit slaughtering people as they came out of the tunnels.

Oh, and while I have a damage record of 6,518 (as Soldier), Ferrio has 7,550 (as Heavy). I don't think I'll break that anytime soon on the GAF server.
