Versus PvP Gamemode

Description
+Welcome to Versus - our perspective on how PvP is done+

It is a mod, which allows player to become a powerful creature (Yibaka) to fight against a submarine, manned by other players.
Objectives for them are:
• Submarine crew must either kill Yibaka or get to the next outpost
• Yibaka must sink a submarine and kill everyone aboard

INSTALLATION
  1. Download this mod and Lua for Barotrauma
  2. Install Lua for Barotrauma
  3. Host a server with Server executable option set to Lua for Barotrauma - DedicatedServer
  4. Press F3, and type install_cl_lua
  5. Restart Barotrauma

HOW TO PLAY
  1. Host a server with Server executable option set to Lua for Barotrauma - DedicatedServer
  2. Choose Sandbox as gamemode and pick a submarine (we recommend to use Versus-provided submarines, but any other combat-specialised sub complies as well)
  3. Invite your friends! One can comfortably play Versus in a lobby of 4 players, but make sure to have at least 2 bots to do the repairs on sub, while you fight for your life
  4. Once game is started, suit up and press VERSUS button on the bottom right to pick Yibaka and player that will play it
  5. There is also a Cheats button beneath, which sets skills to 100 and gives experience to unlock all talents - you are not obliged to use it, but we highly recommend it
  6. Have fun!

P.S.: to spice things up (and because nobody ever managed to get back into the sub with Yibaka being around) we disabled respawn for the Versus. Keep it in mind: while Versus mod is active, respawn is disabled in ALL gamemodes.

YIBAKAS (playable monsters)
There are currently 4 different types of Yibakas in Versus:
  • Leviathan
    A giant, heavily modified Fractal Guardian, with lots of guns and an abyssal-creature-sized health pool.


  • Overseer
    A subspecies of Watcher, that summons European beasts to fight the submarine.


  • Endworm
    Stronger and more clever that regular endworm - it has an improved bite attack and a special "barf" attack.


  • Clownhead
    The silliest of horrors: a surgically improved Hammerhead with torpedo attack and many other deadly tricks.


More specific info on Yibakas can be discovered in informative leaflets given to each of them

SUBMARINES
Iron Hope

... I couldn’t keep up with Dimon when he was describing it. Iron Hope specials include:
  1. E.N.D.U.R.A.T.R.O.N - an Enhanced Naval Defense Underwater Resilience and Tactical Reinforcement Operations Node – is a system that makes your submarine INVINCIBLE for 30 seconds, but has very long recharge time. It can be found in the front compartment of the sub
  2. Overclocked weaponry: miniguns and flak cannon were powerfully enhanced to match the threats, possessed by Yibakas
  3. Salvo railguns: captain can control a pair of railguns using his sonar
  4. Periscope-controlled Nuclear Torpedo (controls can be found above captains compartment; First LMB click undocks torpedo, second LMB click detonates)
  5. Infinite ammo for on-board weaponry
  6. Briefing room: provides additional info on Yibakas

FAQ
Q.:Why can’t I find this gamemode in server lobby?
A.:Unfortunately, we couldn’t figure out how to add an actual, separate gamemode – you’ll have to pick Sandbox to properly play Versus.

Q.:Is it possible to play against two creatures simultaneously?
A.:Yes, it is. Nothing restricts you from spawning whole hord of Clownheads, but make sure you have enough countermeasures do deal with it.

Q.:Does everybody in lobby must have lua activated client-side?
A.:For host it's mandatory to have lua activated, because lua renders GUI and only host is permitted to launch Versus. For non-hosts it's optional, it will cause that button Versus just won't appear right bottom on your display.

@Gspeed06 Were you trying to spawn them as the Clownhead? Server I was playing on had issues getting that one to work

I would invite my friends before the server starts, I start the server and try but still nothing.

@Gspeed06 and double check if both of you have Lua installed and activated. Check INSTALLATION step in description above
Me_Myself_Justice  [author] 13 Sep @ 8:31am 
@Gspeed06 if your friend joined your lobby AFTER the round started you wouldn't be able to spawn him as a creature. Under the hood playerList appends at start, so the ones who joined after can only play as humans

Hey, Im trying to make one of my friends the creature but it will not work. Only for me. Help?

Fighting against the Leviathan, we had up to 8 people on the Iron Hope. One round won, another lost. Against the Endworm and Overseer, we had maybe 4 or 5 since several people left due to complications trying to use the Clownhead, but still both got completely rolled

@Meowsers how many players engaged against monsters when you played it?

Couple ideas for changes:
- Remove Endworm's health regeneration and instead have it regenerate armor over time.
- Make Endworm's bite a weapon rather than a creature attack.
- Lower the cooldown of Endworm's bite significantly.
- Make Endworm's bile give some sort of poison to any human it hits to give it a proper way to kill.
- Increase the lethality of Overseer's monsters. If it's supposed to be a fragile summoner, their current largest creature should be their new smallest. It should be summoning Matriarchs and Molochs, maybe even a Latcher as a mega attack, not crawlers.
- The Enduratron should be in pulses. Instead of it being a thirty second long effect with a recharge of 10 minutes, it should be an immediate pulse on press that fully repairs the submarine with maybe four charges per round. Makes it less of an invincibility and more of an emergency full heal.

Howdy. Tried the mod with some friends and it's decently fun, but there are a few issues:
- All monsters other than the Leviathan feel incredibly weak compared to the power of the submarine. Endworm's cooldowns are incredibly long, making it difficult to keep up any pressure. Overseer is very fragile, and the guns on the submarine tear through anything it can summon. Clownhead simply didn't even work when we tried spawning in as it.
- The Submarine is almost absurdly powerful when used by someone who knows how to use it. 32 fixfoam grenades go a LONG way when used alongside the already existing 30 second auto-repair. Also, the flak gun does an INSANE amount of damage and effectively prevents any monster from being in that general area of the submarine.
