III. Gameplay Guide

Connect to a server by either manually connecting to an IP address and port of a game you know, or open the lobby and join a server by clicking its name. The lobby will show the current map, number of players, and IP of servers running.

As of Version 2.0, the only gameplay mode supported is Capture The Flag.

Choose a team, RED or BLU, or select AutoSelect and let us choose the fairest place. Press N to change your team, or to Spectate and watch the action! Keep in mind you tie up a player slot on the server as a spectator!

Press M to open the Class Menu and choose your class. Choose option 0 to let

us pick a class that might suit you!

The heads-up display at the bottom of your screen shows your class, your team, and a representation of your current health. The scoreboard shows the current score, and thecondition and location of each team's intelligence.

Find the opposing team's intel and return it to where yours usually sits to score a point.Score a certain number of points to win the round!

----------------------------------------------------------

IV. The Maps

A. The Official Maps:

To run a server using only these maps, open gg2.ini and make sure no custom

map list is specified ("MapRotation=" under [Server] should be left blank). To change the order the maps are played, change the numbers next to the map names; the maps will play in numerical order from least to greatest. Place a zero next to a map to ignore it.

1. ctf_truefort

by fishmatt

This classic layout emphasizes good flagrunning and being able to evade a

strong defense! The colorful rural scenery hides two industrial strongholds.

2. ctf_2dfort

by Vaati

A simple layout designed for fast games and tactical decisions. Don't neglect the lower route!

3. ctf_conflict

by agh

This battleground is filled with varied terrain and odd angles! Watch out, there are many places to hide and swipe the intelligence when no one will notice.

4. ctf_classicwell

by fishmatt

A nostalgic scenario with an industrial flavor, there are multiple routes around these imposing complexes but only a few ways in and out. Keep an eye on the upper route!

5. ctf_waterway

by Taters

This trainyard sits atop a canal. The adjacent buildings house two warring factions. Keep your cool and watch for snipers, it's a long clear shot back to your base.

6. ctf_orange

by king metroid

Looming under the shadow of a large central tower, two groups plot each other'sdemise. Climb the tower to drop down on unsuspecting opponents!

B. Using Custom Maps:

To run a server using custom maps, make a folder called "Maps" in the same

path as Gang Garrison 2.0.exe and place the compiled map file (it will have

a ".png" extension) inside. Create a text file with any name, like "maplist.txt", and open gg2.ini. Next to "MapRotation=" under [Server], type the name of this file.

Open your maplist file and type the name of each map you want to play in order:

For instance:

ctf_2dfort

ctf_mynewmap

ctf_orange

would play ctf_2dfort, a custom map with the filename "ctf_mynewmap.png", and then ctf_orange. Then it would play ctf_2dfort again. These names are case sensitive.

Players on your server can download maps from the internet when they join if you provide a locator file. First, upload your map to the internet, whether on your own website or a filehost that allows direct linking. Do not worry if it changes the filename,

as long as it keeps the extension .png it will be fine. Create a file in your Maps folder called "mapname.locator" where "mapname" is the same as in the file "mapname.png".

Inside this file, simply paste the direct link to your file on the internet. Be careful that the link is direct and not a php redirect! Now when players join your server, they will download the map and your locator file so they may also host the map on their servers.

----------------------------------------------------------

V. The Options Menu:

These options can also be set in gg2.ini before running the game.

Player Name: Set your visible name in-game.

Hosting Port: Set the TCP port clients will connect to if you host a game.

Player Limit: Set the number of players, including the host, allowed in your game.

Announce to Lobby: Show your game to players in the Lobby. Setting this to off

allows you to host a private game for those who know your IP.

Fullscreen: Set to On to run in fullscreen. Otherwise the game is windowed.

Ingame Music: Toggles the ingame music track on and off.

Particles: Toggles smoke and explosion effects, which can cause lag.

Gibs: Toggles body parts when a character explodes, which can cause lag.
