Trench Digging V7.2 [Submitted to RTB]

[lilboarder32]

Woo, V7.2 is out
I know, another Trench Digging topic, wonderful. But this one is official!

I've received lots of hatemail or dumb comments saying this mod sucks because it doesn't work, even though they don't bother looking at the comments saying it does work.
Well, I knew it was inevitable as I made the mod pretty hard to get working for the average noobplayer. So, I decided to make this more efficient, user-friendly, and innovative. Instead of typing in commands to get a dirt color and then setting it in some RTB pref hoping it works, there is a separate category for Dirt bricks altogether. So now any color is acceptable as dirt and can be dug with the trench dig tool. This also opens up the possibility to have the gamemode in a server that wants to freebuild or deathmatch with unique walls that you dig, while other brown bricks are indestructible.
Say you dig up a dirt brick that's red, then one thats blue, then a brown one. That order stays the same when shooting out the dirt. You would shoot out a brown, then blue, and then red dirt brick. The downside to this right now is regrouping bricks takes either the first or the majority color being regrouped (can't remember lol).
Future updates include better color guessing with regrouping bricks, and /dumpdirt command working everywhere you can place regular dirt.
Now my confession takes place: I am on a mac, and as they are really unstable in V19, I crash randomly when regrouping or breaking apart bricks. So I am unable to thoroughly test this, and that's why I'm running this beta before submitting to RTB. So run along and test it out now.

Welcome? I've had a Mac since I joined 3 years ago and made it pretty evident haha.

I will test this version. The previous version, I couldn't even start digging, literally I would take one cube, and crash.

INCIDENTALLY, COM

you never bought me half life source

I crashed with this one too, I started digging in a 4x cube, I got like 4 or 5 2x cubes before I crashed.

Oh hell

Hooray trench dirt has its own brick category :D

When I first got this mod back in the day, I thought they were seperate bricks... suppose I was glimpsing the future, ehh?

[DrenDran]

Gamemode add-ons should require some skill to use.

[leonstormrat23]

Very nice, I admit, I had a hard time getting this game mode set up and I really like trench TDM's or as I call them TTDM's. I really like this add-on and will suggest it to anyone who does not have it.

[DoctorPwn]

Good job lilboarder, you always do epic.
(No troll)

[Mr.Noßody]

The old mod NEVER worked for me, even when following the posts telling you how to operate it.
The brick color was set, I used the right bricks for the right brick mode, and still got no response with the Trench Shovel. You just called me a Noob.

I hope this one works for me, but damn. Another brick page?
At-least you can finally make effective depth dirt color....

Problem found: Only the dirt cubes can be dug. I'm assuming its stuck in "Cube" mode...

(Bricks need icons)

[lilboarder32]

Ya it's stuck in cube mode, you'll have to change the pref in server.cs to go to bricks. I'll merge them sometime soon. And icons should be easy to add

[Mr.Noßody]

I say, for the icons, just take the default Icons for those bricks, but give them a dirt like border/texture. That'd be cool.

That'd be fairly simple with image editing, but it would make the file larger overall, but not by a large amount by any means.
