AWOL Underdone

[NinjaWilko]

I am working on modifying a gamemode released recently for use on one of our servers, Underdone is an RPG gamemode focused on combat and quests.

More information can be found at the Facepunch thread here: Underdone (http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=873340)

What can I do?
I need the community to give me weapons, items, quests and enemies to add into the gamemode. If anybody also has a good suggestion for a map for this gamemode to be played on, then post it here along with a download link and I will look into it.

The current playable maps are:
gm_construct
ud_rebelland

The server link will be posted later once the lastest version has been uploaded.

Thread created by request of Spiffy.

The rebelland map comes with the pack, just open the underdone folder, then go to content, then maps and extract it to maps folder. Then just extract the whole underdone folder to addons.

The server seems to be a hit, I will make quests give players more exp, and enemies give slightly more exp too. I will also add more quests and make more quests for beginning players. At the moment though, fixing the saving, loading and new character systems is top priority. Great thanks to Bithmar for providing a suitable inventory substitue for the time being.

Special thanks to Bithmar, Sir Waddlesworth and Mechanical Mind for helping and fixing the errors that came along during the setup of the server.

Remember, post any ideas you have in this thread. That includes items, quests, enemies and maps!

[Vercci]

Wasn't sure if I should have made a new thread about it or not, but since you updated the server to give kleiner that armor upgrade quest, the shops have been broken, and no health bars are appearing over enemies now.

They also seem to not drop as much ammo as they used to, though I can't tell if this was intentional.

[NinjaWilko]

I am aware of the broken shops and I am working on fixing this. Kleiner's quest is not the problem, a broken sh_shop.lua file is. The ammo drops are randomized and are running on the same percentages as before the updates.

Thankyou for joining our server and playing to find these bugs. I hope you continue playing on our server as we are constantly updating.

[Vercci]

Oh don't worry, I'm having enough fun to play through it.

The only problems I have with it (besides not having an effective light while underground with the antlion boss or no zombie boss as far as I know) are that you lose items if you recieve them without having enough space for them. Because I had a full inventory, I never got the manhack claw, and when someone gave me 7 rifle ammo, I only got one and the other 6 disappeared.

Keep up the great work though, this server's awesome.

[edit] just playing now, rifle ammo doesn't weigh anything anymore

Also, the crafting menu is broken (sometimes), and zombies don't drop anything now.

There seems to be alot of invisible walls now (on map restarts, they start between those 2 buildings on the fenceline)

sometimes when you die, you lose your ammo stores


And I've never been able to pick up a junky smg that was on the ground

The reward for killing the antlion boss doesn't seem worth it.

The server's having huge lagspikes too, notably after I blow a box up


And oddly enough, some cans keep spawning outside of the fenced area

[NinjaWilko]

I think I have found the problem, as somebody made changes to the gamemode files and uploaded them, whilest I was at work yesterday night. This resulted in NPC drops being corrupted and shops stopping working.
I have fixed these, but have kept the quests in. I will fix these throughout the day and upload them approx. 4:45pm Melbourne time.
I also have plans to implement a book shop who will sell crafting and skill books to players, although these will be expensive. One of the items in this shop will be a book which once read will increase the player's carry weight as many players have complained about this.
The map lag spikes were fixed with a map restart, and could possibly happen again if the map is not restarted once every few hours.
If you are wondering about the Antlion Guard drops, I looked into this and for many of the items to spawn you need to be high enough level to receive and use them.

[Vercci]

Me and another guy thought we could find a zombie boss on the rebelland map, so we voted it up. The server isn't showing in the server list now. ud_rebelland is NOT playable.

[NinjaWilko]

Yes we know about this. It crashes the server due to invalid entities in the map. Please do not vote for this map, we will add a Zombine enemy onto gm_construct and we will be adding other maps once we trial them.

[NinjaWilko]

Due to server difficulties we have had to erase all accounts on the server. The accounts have been backed up in-case we find a fix for this. We apologize for the inconvenience.

[poorking]

Quest where you need to kill the fast zombie (only on rebelland neer water) and reward can be some exp? and maby an item with agility bonus? cause its afast zombie

melee wep where it has slightly longer range than other melee weps (like a whip or something?)

[Spiffy]

I always thought that all melee weaps had the same reach distance... Oh well if they don't then that adds to the game a little doesn't it?

[Kannon]

Yeah they do, so we cant really do a Whip. Quest can be done.

[Vercci]

Items you can place in the auction need to either have a scroll bar so you can see everything you have, or they need to only look at items in your backback. It's kinda hard to put stuff in there when it sees stuff from your bank.


[edit] Playing a bit more, it sees items that you had, but no longer do, appear in the auction menu. It doesn't refresh when you talk to him.


[edit2] Can you put a "deposit all" option in the right click menu?

[NinjaWilko]

[edit] Playing a bit more, it sees items that you had, but no longer do, appear in the auction menu. It doesn't refresh when you talk to him.

Wait, what?

And there is a deposit all function, but its item specific and only works on 4+ items.

[Vercci]

Earlier in that session, I made some chinese noodles, and sold them. now I had no more bags of uncooked chinese noodles on me, or in the bank. Yet when I opened up the auction menu to sell some stuff, the option to sell noodles was there, even though I couldn't do anything with them.

[NinjaWilko]

This is a small glitch that happens once every so often. It takes a few seconds to refresh, but can take as long as 2 minutes for me.

[Vercci]

I really need to get some sleep, and waiting for that "prize" is getting silly :3


Although I found what triggers that glitch who talked about. When you level up, you can't use voice chat anymore, nor can you use the escape menu or the console. I have to end gmod using the task manager.

[NinjaWilko]

Hrmmm, thats strange. I am not getting this glitch, maybe it is only if you are using your mic as you level up.

[Vercci]

I'm sure it happens when you level up at a high enough level (so the level up messages lag you enough). It doesn't only disable mic, several commands won't work. my suicide key doesn't work. A key I prebinded to disconnect doesn't drop me from the server, there's no way to bring up the "pause" menu.


Other than that, add a way to get to the level 500 antlion :3


[edit] Messing around with it, I found out that having your mic on while you level (has to be on before you actually land the experience) you don't experience the glitch.

[RoaR]

I have a question relating to the recent update.

Zombies use to range in 'level' from 1 (10 HP) to 10 (100 HP) right outside the spawn. Now they go from 3 (30 HP) to 12 (120 HP).

How do you expect level 1 to kill a level 12? This was a 'training ground'. Where has it gone?

[Vercci]

Kill the level 3s? Do adams quests? not try go for a level 10 if you're level 1?

[wildbill]

hey, i spend alot of time on the underdone server, infact i have only met one person who is a higher level then me currently and i am level 138.
i was wondering if there is anything you can change to allow further advancement in the game after lvl 100?

from what i can tell after you get your lvl 100 backpack and fill it with items to increase your melee damage you pretty much reach the end of the game,
there is no more items to unlock, no more quests, no way to get stronger, a lvl 150 is as strong as a lvl 100 and it just doesnt seem right.

i am hoping you could implement something like you increase in every skill by 1 point for every 10 levels after you reach level 80 or something like that.
maybe an ability for *each* skill which requires you to be level 90+ and each time you increase in 1 of the said abilities its specified skill is
increased by 0.1-1 each time depending on the type of skill(eg. increase by 0.1 for the agility ability and 1 for the str or dex abilities)

sorry for the long message, thanks for reading, thats just my 2cents multiplied by a million, god i never shutup XD. cyas in game

[wildbill]

oh also btw, the banks a bit screwed because i used up about 70 kg of my bank and then found out that you cant scroll, so after your items start going below the bottom of the bank menu you cant touch them -.- but they will appear if you empty your bank of the items above them, this whole process is kinda tedious and annoying

[wildbill]

me again, 3 days later and still no response to my previous messages, i feel like im the only one who uses these forums, the shoutbox has messages from 3 weeks ago sitting in the top 3 lines for gods sake xD.

an update on that leveling glitch, it is most frequent when high level players gain a level, if they gain more then 1 at a time it becomes almost impossible to avoid.
if it happens it will disable console and will disable the escape menu, it seems that only binds that are related to some form of character action will work like jump or forward but others such as kill will not.
the only part of the glitch that can be controlled by the client is if their microphone transmit button is caused to be enabled permanently or if it is disabled permanently(permanently = until gmod is exited).
this can be controlled by either having you mic button on or off at the moment you experience the glitch, so start holding the mic down before you level up if you think you have a chance to experience the glitch.

[AaronXD]

i am in the prosess of making some maps and some new items but i keep getting a error when i try to some of my items. what i do is tipe in console ud_deve_editmap and when i try to add items i get this error ...emode/core/clientfiles/menus/cl_mapobject_editor.lua:91: attempt to get length of field 'CurrentObjectSet' (a nil value).
btw make fun for my spelling and i will distroy you......... jokes but seriously dont be a douche

[Spiffy]

Aarron, it's AWOL, we don't really care about spelling and grammar as long as it makes sense lol.

[AaronXD]

that good. icannt will sharn any one who makes a spelling error

back ontopic. can any one help me fix this error i keep getting ?

[AaronXD]

i would injoy it if some one replyed.
I'm So Ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone

[Kannon]

The only fix ive found for that error is by cleaning out the Map file and starting from scratch

[NinjaWilko]

And I am not making a new map layout. If somebody wants to, go ahead, but having done it 6 times already I am well and truly sick of making the map, especially with no copy-paste NPC function.

[wildbill]

is the server gonig through 1 of its 12 hour straight crashes or have you guys taken it down for some reason?

[NinjaWilko]

The server is prone to lagging/crashing unfortunately. If possible votemap to the same map as soon as the server begins to do its lag thing.

[pryodynamic]

Has the sever been removed or had an IP change because I added it to my favorite sever list and it is no longer there
I also would like to help in the progress of this gamemode but have no lua coding experience

[pryodynamic]

looks like they forgot underdone
oh well

[Mechanical Mind]

Looks like you checked the timestamp on that announcement, oh wait.

[Sylver]

Sorry guys, the server has had a port change, it's on the ip 203.31.191.140:27027 now.

Also, for the record, we don't run through a games server hosting company, we run our own dedicated box.

[pryodynamic]

oh ok sweet im playing it now

[Longshot117]

Please help, I am a level 30 on the server but I have no clue how to craft the items in mechanical, chemical, and everything else but Culinary and Crafting in General. Please help, the only Items I have are from dropped NPCs and Dealers/Merchants.

[NinjaWilko]

Underdone has not been worked on in over 3 months. Anything that was going to increase those areas was never implemented.

[nibbles]

hmmm... will there be any updates to the UD server? its quite popular from what i've seen. i can always throw in more suggestions like i did with the stranded server.

[NinjaWilko]

I lost interest in Underdone due to amount of bugs, glitches and the amount of trouble it caused when you screwed one little piece of code, completely unrelated to the rest, up.

So, no more updates from me. Other AWOL members might want to but I'm out.

[flash hawaii]

i have a problem with the sever itself its says invaild steam key i think and it will not let me in the sever and i cant do it for parkour too my friend says the sever needs a update
.

[NinjaWilko]

Latest Gmod update broke everything. Just wait.
