SourceForts v1.4.1
--------------
SourceForts is a mod were you build forts to protect a flag. It's like CTF except you build things to protect your flag.
==============

Quick Note
------------
The new weapon models for the build weapons are not included in this version, nor are the objects updated
due to my modelers taking years.

I'll release a model pack with them in it later.
==============

Installation
------------
Extract this zip to Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods and open it from the Play Games menu of steam.
==============

Playing
-------
When the game starts, it'll either be in build state or fight state.
In the build state, you have the gravity gun, and a freezer gun and a crowbar/stunstick (if the server has the cvar set for it). 
In this time, you build your fort with your team mates. 
To unfreeze objects, look at the object and hit secondary fire.

If you're on a server with less than 16 people (or whatever the server has set) you may use the freeze command to freeze the currently held object (Default is the x key)

In the fight state, you start with the SMG, Pistol and Grenades by default.
You can hit B (or whatever you have set) during the game to see what the buy choices are, there is multiple pages, each time you hit it it'll go to the next one. You can buy things with the F keys by default.

Once you buy something, you'll have it for the whole round, you may also purchase things during build mode to prepare for fight mode.

To grab a flag, just run into it and it'll appear above your head. Go back and touch your own flag to score, you recieve 5 frags for this.

After a fight round has been over, there will either be a long build time, or a short build time, depending on what the server has set.

Peices can be damaged and will unfreeze if they are fully damaged. You can tell if they are damage by how black they are.
You can also see how much damaged they are when you use the repair spanner on them.

You can buy a Mechanics Kit during fight mode to repair peices and to rebuild things.
===============

Map Making
----------
Just add in the FGD and you're set. 
You MUST, I repeat, MUST add in a logic_gametimer or the map won't work properly.
The logic_gametimer has input/outputs to force build time/fight time or when it hits build time/fight time.

It's a good idea to make func_fortsite brushes over team fort areas, so the other 
team can't freeze/unfreeze in it

For flags, you use the red_flag and blue_flag, which have inputs to force them to return, and outputs for when they are grabbed, returned or when the flags team scores.

Remember to add team spawnpoints, info_player_rebel (red) and info_player_combine (blue)

If you don't want areas to be frozen, use the func_nofreeze entity.

You can use the game_money entity to give or take money from players or teams.

The source for sf_testmap is included.
===============

Servers
-------
You can just use Create A Server to make servers.

The cvars for servers are:
	mp_build_longtime	- default: 10 - Amount of time for main building time (mins)
	mp_build_shorttime	- default: 5  - Amount of time for the quick repair time (mins)
	mp_build_alternate	- default: 1  - Amount of short build times before another long build
	mp_fight_time		- default: 15 - Amount of time for fighting (mins)
	mp_ctf_autoreturn	- default: 45 - Amount of time until the flag auto-returns (secs)
	mp_build_melee		- default: 0  - Sets if you have melee weapons during build mode or not
	mp_freeze_max		- default: 4  - If the player count is below this, they can use the freeze command
	mp_damageable_pieces	- default: 1  - Sets if physics objects are damageable

The commands for servers are:
	switchmode	- Cheat. Swiches game mode (to build or to fight, depending on the current mode is)
