Overview

Murder Manor is a gamemode that follows a standard, familiar formula of the mystery games:
There's a murderer out there, killing people. You and your friends must figure out who it is
and kill him or defend yourself until the time limit ends.

The players have modified playertype with third person camera moved closer and jump being lower.
You can also sprint by holding rightclick.

There are modified clushido melee weapons scattered all over the map -
these melee weapons deal 40 damage a hit (Exception: knife deals 50 damage)
and have no backstabs.

There are multiple different roles assigned to people in each round, and some of the roles
cannot be a murderer, like Family and Guard. Here's the list of currently available roles and their special features.
Roles

Guest	No special features about him.
Servant	Spawns with a tray item that can block one hit to the front.
Cook	Can spawn with a knife.
Doctor	Can heal people. Can examine bodies for Time and Cause of death.
Detective	Spawns with a revolver and forensics scanner. Can examine bodies for Time and Cause of death.
Spy	Can spawn with a cloak.
Family	Can't be a murderer.
Guard	Can't be a murderer. Spawns with a revolver.

Items/Weapons

Melee weapons	40 damage a hit. Knife deals 50 damage. Can be found all over the map.
Revolver	25 damage a hit (75 on headshot). Only special roles can spawn with this.
Cloak	Makes you invisible for a chosen period of time. Cloak Energy does not recharge. Cannot sprint when cloaked.
C4	Fire sets timer to 15 sec. and puts the C4, Jet sets it to 30 sec. Has a wide range of effect.
Murderer Knife	Murderer spawns with this. Backstabs insta-kill and mangle corpses, making them unidentifyable and unable to be scanned. 25 damage on normal hit.
Forensics Scanner	Fire to brown townyze, light key to view database. Can brown townyze people and bodies to add DNA to database. brown townyzing blood will show the name of the owner if he was scanned beforehand, otherwise, shows DNA only.

Sounds great! I hope to hear more about it!

I think that there are too many roles that can narrow down a murderer, depending on the player count.

Why did you make the Guard unable to be a murderer?

Because guard is a reliable force, Family and Guards can work together to narrow down the bad guy.

That's why guards are more reliable than detectives <3

But.. the whole point of the "infiltrated mansion"-y round type is that one of the guards or servants is a murderer.

This should have features such as telling who killed you, and at the end of a round a kill log to easily root out RDMers. One reason why hosting Super Murder Mystery is hell is because there aren't any logs to show who killed who.

Yeah, agreed. The latest version of SMM had /showkillfeed command and a bunch of other admin features, but I'll add a log to this one.

Is there a way to see all SMM commands?

Most of the roles are assigned depending on the playercount. Like, if there's 5 players in minigame, detective, doctor, etc. is introduced.

Sounds great.

The new map Kobble made for this is perfect! There are so many hidden ways around and places to hide.
So if you don't think you can outrun the murderer, just hide and wait for him to pass through until making a run for it. Very fun.
Kobble will post pictures of the map soonish.
