should mods like gmod be allowed in the competitions?

OK as usual we prefer to hear the community opinion, so cast your vote. should mods like gmod and bloom mod be allowed in the maping competitions? yes or not, that all you need to say.

No, this is about mapping skill, not being able to play with dolls.
You could probably achieve a better effect than Gmod with scripted_sequences anyway.

What's the point of even using the gmod? I've never even downloaded it. What exactly does it do?

[Caste]

No.
These are mapping contests, not "Who's the best Gmodder!!!!!!!!!!!!!?"

Dunno, pretty much just about fooling around with ragdolls, they also have like Mini-Mods people make like GMOW which is a bunch of custom drivable cars made by some guy. You can also do things like add thrusters to some of your things to make them move, make ropes, a bunch of cool stuff. I like playing it but a lot of people are against it Don't ask me why, don't see any reason to be against it. There's also a tool in gmod called the Hammer Exporter where you can spawn just about any model and export it into your map. I find it a lot easier to place things in gmod than in Hammer.

Anyway back on topic, I don't really think you should be able to use gmod in map battles. I mean it's kind of cheap yeah but at the same time it's not really harming anything if you want to make something look nice using the Hammer Exporter. Like say you can't get a model you straighten out the way you want, you could use gmod to align it.

i rekon you should be able to use it, but just for screenshots. that all i did when i took those ones of my map in the other thread. i lodaed it, got out the camera tool, took some shots and uploaded them. no fuckin about with bloom or colourmod or any models or anything.

Server if thats your reason, it was already explained that you can do that using console commandas. You could for example create a config file saying:

Code: Select all

sv_cheats 1
hud_draw 0
r_drawviewmodel 0
noclip 1

you would get a simlar effect to the camera in gmod i think(altough i never even used it)

just to let everyone know(even tough no is wining) that this poll wont affect the curent batle.

No.

It's only showNOmercy that bitched about it, and he's fucked off now so leave it as No and carry on. If it causes this much hassle I'll just delete the section.

[BaRRaKID]
