Renaming the terrortown gamemode

[ambro]

All,

I've recently renamed my terrortown gamemode to "hsgttt". I did this to prevent future GMod updates from wiping out my customization.

Inside of the newly renamed gamemode, I've renamed the terrortown.txt file to "hsgttt.txt" and it has the following information located inside:

Code: Select all

“terrortown”
{
	"base"		"base"
	"title"		"Trouble in Terrorist Town"
	"maps"		"^ttt_"
	"menusystem"	"1"

	"settings"
	{
		// TODO: put some settings here
	}
}

The problem I'm encountering is, from within GMod, on the Server List, my server is no longer located within the "Trouble In Terror Town" gamemode, it's now affiliated with what appears to be an entirely new gamemode, "Trouble In Terror Town" but it's lacking the red T icon for the category.

Pictures below:



In addition to this, some of my users are also complaining about textures not working for the scoreboard (standard default ttt textures) as well as the scope textures for zooming with both the scout and the awp. And the F1 tutorial page textures.

Has anyone who's previously renamed their "terrortown" gamemode experience similar issues?

I've had the same thing happen when I've tried to rename gamemodes.
For some reason Garry's Mod doesn't let this work, and IDK why.
You could just backup your gamemode to some where every time you update it, that way if GMod updates and changes it you can revert back.

Just rename the folder "terrortown" to something else. It's not going to update it if you do that. It will just make a new one that you don't need to use :P
