HEX - Dark Fantasy Arena

Public release of HEX.

• For HEX support, you can add me on Steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/Demonkush
• I will only provide support with the unmodified gamemode. I can provide pointers on how to modify it, but I will not help you fix it if you broke it yourself.
• Workshop Version All in One package: ( link here when workshop ready )
• GitHub Version Addon and Gamemodes separate. I plan to eventually isolate the addon so it can be used in other gamemodes.

What is HEX?

Part Arena Shooter, part RPG Shooter; inspired by games like Hexen and Unreal Tournament. With several different gametypes you can experience HEX in all sorts of flavors. Use magical weapons and items to destroy your enemies and steal their gold, or work toward a goal together in team-based gametypes. All in one gamemode!

How to Setup HEX

• Install addon and gamemode. ( These work for the most part without configuration )

• Install content. ( Make sure model content is on your server. Content not included, get it from the workshop! )

• Install map data. ( place the hex data folder in 'garrysmod/data' )

• Install maps. ( All of the maps I've created for HEX, Soulwind and Lment are included in GitHub. )

• -OPTIONAL- Setup MYSQL ( The gamemode has mysql support, refer to init.lua )

• NOTE: With MYSQL disabled, stats will not save.

• NOTE: Content not included in GitHub, download the addons from the workshop and extract the data from the .gma.

Things to Know

• I am releasing HEX to the public because I am working on other projects right now, and feel bad about letting this project stagnate.
• HEX is NOT complete. It's playable, but overall it still needs a lot of work. I hope you guys can still have fun with it!
• Feel free to modify the gamemode to your liking, but DO NOT upload to the workshop or anywhere else!!! I am working on a Workshop ready version, and a link will be provided somewhere above.
• You are allowed to fork this repository ( if not, let me know ). The main repo will only be updated by myself; I will decide if your changes are acceptable.
• The gamemode is kind of a mess. If I don't provide documentation in the future, you can ask me for assistance.
• Most configuration is found in the shared tables. With basic lua knowledge you can create new elements, items and more!
• When adding new maps, you also must place spawn data on the map and create a map icon which is downloaded by clients manually.
• I may have forgotten some things. Please let me know if the gamemode is completely busted, or if you have trouble understanding something.
• The Powerup system is an incomplete feature. You may see Powerups show up, but do not function properly. You can disable them in sh_maintable.
