@Jolly: The base game does not have one which is why we added one in CR4TTT. It's more likely you have another mod that does it as those are quite popular =)

I've noticed that if I have "ttt_death_notifier_enabled" set to 1, the chat displays two separate notifications of who my killer was. I assume this is because it's displaying the notifications from both the base TTT gamemode and the addon at the same time. Is there any way to disable the one from the base game? I haven't been able to find a server convar for it anywhere.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life

@Reggie: If you join our discord (linked above) there is a script in the #faq channel called "Equipment Fix" which will fix that error.

They don't persist because they aren't marked FCVAR_ARCHIVE

just FYI, settings in the ULX menu DO persist, we had the same issue with TTT2. Things that interfere with persistence:
- having the same settings in the server.cfg file, each mapreload/restart loads them from that file again
- not shutting the server off properly, killing the process instead of using "quit" prevents them from being saved
- having them in the gamemode file so that they are added to the "start game" page in GMod also prevents them from being saved - this one took a while to figure out

You can toggle them on and off via the ULX menu, but those settings don't persist so you need to put them in the config. That's how vanilla TTT works as well.

i agree with ZeRelic, that and i ask for all roles enabled because me and my P2P servers prefer the chaos

It would be nice to be able to toggle the roles on and off through the menu...not just by setting the config.

There is not because there are around 50 roles and that would be chaos.
We feel it's better to choose the roles you want individually and enable them via "ttt_rolename_enabled 1" in your config file (listenserver.cfg or server.cfg)

Is there a command to enable all roles at once? There doesn't seem to be an easy way to activate them

thank you!

To disable that, set ttt_detectives_search_only 0

i have a problem where i cant turn off that only detectives can search bodies. i checked the list of ConVars and theres only a one for spectators.
the only other thing i can find is the flavor text and if searching should be shared but i cant turn off searching being disabled. all everyone can do is call a detective

Oh well, I appreciate the quick confirmation

No, I don't know of any. We make some pretty extensive changes to the UI for our various roles and features and I don't believe anything has kept up to date with them.

Hi, do you know any HUD addons which are compatible with this right now? I can't seem to find up-to-date information anywhere else
Thanks

Happy to help =)

That solved it, thanks man, really appreciated.

Make sure your server and client are fully up to date.

Hi I've been having an error with custom roles that seems to brick my TTT server, the error is 'gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/player.lua:1273: attempt to call upvalue 'PlayerIterator' (a nil value) ' and this just loops, preventing any other command occuring. I've tried re-installing the mod to no avail

Haha, no worries. You can use that mod, just disabling the round end slow mo should fix it.

Sorry for the late reply, yes I did have that in my collection. I just tested it with that mod disabled and it worked perfectly fine. Thank you so much! That was sending me mad trying to figure out what could be causing it, I should of asked earlier haha

Smiler: Do you have wget's tweak addons with the round end slomo enabled? That is known to cause that problem.

Hi sorry to bother you guys but I've been having an issue where both the drunk and the clown don't trigger when one team loses and I was wondering if you'd know what could be causing this or if there is a convar I'm missing that isn't in the provided convars?

Example all traitors die and the drunk and clown get the innocent victory screen without either joining the traitor team for the drunk or triggering "kill them all" for the clown

I double checked that I don't have any addons that conflict as listed in your description

Thanks for the tip!
I'll check it out tomorrow

I'd have to take a deeper look but you might be able to fix both of those problems using the PlayerCanPickupWeapon hook

Wow quick response!
Thanks for checking and the reply.
Is there anything standing out to you regarding the death matching spectators (referred to in the UI as "ghostdm") not being able to have any weapons?
From what I could gather while I was playing around with it:
- Regular living TTT players can be given the "ghost" weapons that the Spectator Deathmatch adds (via the console "give" command) and they appear to work as a ghost weapon should (they shoot and reload etc but don't leave bullet decals in surfaces and don't move props or detonate explosives)
- GhostDM players apparently cannot be given any weapons (I've tried both regular TTT and the 'ghost' weapons by the 'give' command but it seemingly does nothing)

Otherwise both add-ons appear to work fine together (other than the duplicate convar for cross hair)

From a quick look through their code it looks like they override GAMEMODE:PlayerBindPress which would break some of our keybinding logic (potentially sprinting) and ScoreGroup which would break our modified scoreboard organization and role configurations regarding who can see when a player is MIA.

There might be other issues but those are ones I just found reading through real quick.

Love this add-on, top notch stuff.
It would be extra smashing if it worked with the Spectator Deathmatch add-on but I see it in the list of incompatibles; is that an issue with this add-on or with the Spectator Deathmatch add-on?
It seems so close to working as the only issue I can see at the moment is that the Spectator Deathmatch Ghosts cannot have weapons equipped - otherwise there doesn't seem to be a problem with these two add-ons working together (haven't done a great deal of testing though).
I've been trying to pick apart the code to see if I can implement a fix myself but so far nothing is jumping out at me - any suggestions or clarifications (especially from the author) would be greatly appreciated!

For a listen server (you open GMod and click "Start Game"), the config file is garrysmod/cfg/listenserver.cfg

You copy the "_enabled" convar for each role you want to enable from the list of convars (https://github.com/Custom-Roles-for-TTT/TTT-Custom-Roles/blob/release/CONVARS.md#Server-Configurations) and change the "0" to a "1" for each one.

how do i add the roles when i installed the Mod over Steam Workshop i cant find the ConVar file?
please help i cant take it anymore my friends are rating Greek letters

We've heard a couple people have that issue but we haven't figured out why it's happening.
In one case splitting the config file up into multiple and chaining them using "exec config2.cfg" etc. helped, in another case that is what caused the problem. If you join our discord server we might be able to dive into it deeper to try and figure it out.

Has anyone had the issue that this causes people joining the server to get stuck on retrieving server info? It started happening accouple weeks ago during a weekly game, and it causes nobody to be able to connect at all with the only addon enabled being custom roles.

Ha, OK well that's a new one. I haven't heard of that before.

It was something literally just called "Hide names and death notices" or something along those lines. Maybe it was part of some mod pack I subscribed to, cuz I don't think I would have picked that up intentionally lol.

No worries. Glad you figured it out. Out of curiosity, what was it?

I'm stupid, it was caused by another addon that I hadn't even realized I subscribed to. Thanks for the quick response though!

The only way for a player's name to be hidden there in CR4TTT is if they are disguised.
I would guess it's some other addon that's doing it. If you join our Discord I'd be happy to help try and find it =)

Hey, trying this out again after not playing much for a few years. Is there a setting in the mode that causes player names to not be displayed when you aim at each other? Or is that being caused by an error with my addons or something?

Oh absolutely! I meant to join earlier but it slipped my mind lol

We mostly just use the normal PlayerLoadout hook. If you join our Discord server we can help figure out what's going on and get it working though =)

Strange question: Do you guys use any custom hooks for altering the default TTT loadouts? I'm trying to fix this old magneto stick mod and it's tripping up on the replacement script.

Yup, that's a warning from our addon telling you about an incompatibility with another addon (in this case, TTT Bots 2.0).

Actually, same with A Second Chance and The Little Helper. They are all by the same person

Blue Bull definitely does cause the same error. You will either need to remove it or I can give you a script to fix it.

If you join our discord server (linked above) we can talk about this more easily

i change the mod to the stig works fine

problem is that also the mods:

a second chance
blue bull
the litlle helper
slowmotion

also creates this error

ok thank you
