Now your team vs team HL2 experience will be a lot better!
Welcome to a project that I have been banging my head against the wall for. This addon is a take on filz0's Combine Suits [Base] addon, with a reworked relationship system, making it properly compatible with ZBase.
This is something the original addon lacked.
Originally, I planned to make this for myself, so that I can get more creative with future CSB projects, but I decided to share it with the public, so here we are.
Note: I will use this version of the base for future CSB addons. Any addons that were hidden from my content will be reworked / redone with this base's edits for better experience.
psst, I used a bit of AI slop, but only for code simplification
WHAT IS CSB?
Combine Suits [Base] is an addon where certain weapons allow you to become a combine unit / resistance member with 2 unique abilities and loadout.
(binds are configurable in Combine Suits [BASE] -> client controls at the tool tab)
The original addon also features a custom suit manager and an ammo applying entity, based on the suit's weapon loadouts.
FOR PLAYERS:
The addon includes all the default suits from the original addon.
Relationships change depending on what suit you wear.
For example: when a combine suit is active, you will become enemies to rebels, but friendly to combine. Vice versa for rebel suits, you become friendly to rebels, hostile to combine.
Get more suits here that use this version of the base!
FOR CSB ADDON DEVELOPERS:
In the autorun folder of the addon's contents, you will see a relationship manager and a custom faction template lua file.
Your custom faction should be put in lua/autorun.
As for suits themselves (in their shared.lua), replace the "SWEP.CSB_Allies" with:
SWEP.CSB_Faction = "(faction here)"
KNOWN ISSUES:
- removing the suit still applies the same relationships for snpcs under zbase / vjbase. Just reapply the original factions you were on to remove the effect.
- lag, a lot of lag. I will try to fix it when I have time.
- NPCs not properly reacting to commands.
INCOMPATIBILITY:
- any addon that changes npc relationships in general
- playermodel enforcing addons
- additional snpc bases, I can't be bothered to do it right now
- using both CS [Base] addons at the same time (breaks (at least for me it did))
TO DOS:
- promo pics
- create a tutorial series on how you can create your own CSB suits and upload them to the workshop
- optimization, probably
- additional content (show cooldown timer on abilities, etc. (suggestions welcome!))
