DakTank Combat System Public Beta

Hello, this is the group for the DakTank public beta. In this stage DakTank will be undergoing frequent changes and balance will not be set in stone and things may potentially change heavily, new models will also come out from time to time. Be prepared to have to change up your vehicles from time to time with new additions

From the original announcement with slight edits:
This project is a tank mod set to the WWII era rather than modern times. I plan to make it balanced with diverse gameplay and many viable options available for each role a tank can have. Optimization and large scale battles will be a top priority, already 5v5 scale battles are possible.

Further equipment additions, model improvements, optimizations, and balance changes will be coming out over time as issues are found, and player population grows.

The DakTek server currently has a fully functional DakTank gamemode ready using the map gm_emp_chain. Once more players have built tanks using the system battles will become more common and further announcements will be posted when they happen.


Rules/Instructions:
Tanks in DakTank must contain an engine, fuel, at least one gun, ammo for said gun, a seat, and a tank core entity. If you have a gun that turns 360 degrees around your tank then it requires a turret, no floating guns. Turret controller entities should be used for your guns, they set speed based off gun weight and other factors. There is no hard weight limits to vehicles, though the gamemode requires your team have enough resources required to spawn your tank, one point per ton. props set to 1KG will be considered as detail props and will not be effected by damage systems. Treads must be made spherical, this will cause the mod to pick them up as treads, causing them to be able to be penned without causing damage to your tank, which otherwise would likely explode if that happened. All DakTank entities are parentable, you are able to use a light weight prop gun inplace of your real one then parent the real gun to that via a gate.

DakTank V5 Release
15 October, 2017 - Dakota | 0 Comments

In this version I've made more sweeping changes that will force you to work on your vehicles again, don't you love it? Beta stages until V10.

I've gone through the weapons and set up a scaling system to allow you to pick your weapon sizes and stats yourself. This was done by having models at many steps along the way, the stats of the guns themselves are pinpoint on the caliber you choose though, only the model will be off a few mm give or take. Hopefully the massive amount of options will allow people to pick just the perfect gun for themselves.

Ammo crates also have the same caliber slider as guns, so you must pick the same ammo type to match with the gun.

I've also added more DakTank e2 commands and updated the HUD to version 3, it is on the group front page now for pick up, the old HUD will no longer function, the new one is much faster to setup and has more features.

I've also done some smaller changes for aesthetics and minor fixes. Destroyed tanks will now have pieces randomly catch fire for added effect. Gun firing sounds and HE explosions can be heard globally, fading with distance depending on the size of the explosion. Vehicles now take longer to accelerate to their top speed, previously they never would move into the high speed acceleration tier due to a clamp in the way. Lastly I made tanks sit on the battlefield 10 extra seconds once destroyed, for a total of 30 seconds before autocleaning.

I've moved to github for the download links, click the link below and you'll see a green button that says clone or download, click that then download zip.

Yeah, copy pasting the chip in will cause an error, compare the source file with what is in your editor and see if it matches up, if its the wrong number of lines check where it ended and make sure to copy it in in segments.

I didnt mess with the chip but I did copy paste it in
Dakota 13 Jun, 2019 @ 2:24pm 
Did you edit the chip any? Did you just copy the text and try to paste it into gmod's e2 editor? It might be that you hit the character limit on the copy and not everything is copied.
