Just tell me, does it say the error is in 'ItsATrap.lua' or in 'DeathToIntruders.lua'?

If it is on 'ItsATrap', then you can ignore it.
It is the Destroy(self) code which doesn't work and I forgot to remove, though it does not affect the Update(self) code, so everything should work fine.
If it bothers you, just remove that chunk.

Safe corp needs to learn about mo rays.

This was a tough decision but I voted for the safe corp fortress.

The tie breaking element was the sound alarm. While it could be annoying if several ai bots stood under them for too long, the warning to go save my brain helped me more than once. However, when I used the particle accelerator inside the fortress, the lasers reoriented to my mouse. The pit wasn't all that bad for me. The ai would get 3/5 actors over the pit.

The houseplant was cool, but its tongue range kept it from the top spot. I hadn't noticed it healing but that sounds like it should balance it out.

While the reactor worked splendedly, the zombie chamber tended to clog after a while. The clouds stuck around the emitter for some reason. While shooting it didn't free them, smacking an actor into it released a super explosion of zombies. I blew off the roof to unclog it with bombs occasionally, but the craft kept turning into zombies.

The harmless corridor worked well enough for me, during a skirmish even. Testing it in physics test rather than a normal scene may have had something to do with it.

The smacker was cool, if tall.

@Nzen you forgot about the mines

Absolutely harmless corridor : Useless, it lags so much that placing 1 makes the game unplayable.

Smack floor thingey : It works perfectly, except for a shared flaw with all others.

The only one that works right is the mines. the boulder traps dont work right. also plants work, technically.


I have a huge complaint about all of these. We where told that all traps must be activated, or set, before use, such as an on switch. they can not be static and always working. the only mods in this contest that actually follow this, to that definition, are the mines, and safe-corp, because they don't "always work" there a one-shot. you can't turn the plants on and off, you can't turn the harmless corridor on and off, you can't turn the smack floor on or off.

The result is that only the mines and safecorp are still acceptable, the rest are disqualified. My vote's going to the mines, which sucks.

Mines Vs Safecorp.

Safecorp was more fun, it made me lol a few times, but some of the traps don't work, and they don't work all the time. it should honestly been each trap as a module, instead of one set module. also it does not line up with normal bunker modules, and it looks like crap, other than the boulder.

Mines actually work, they line up to normal bunker modules correctly, and they look nice, there just needs to be a way to manually reset them. like a mine-placement gun. that can snap in place (make a particle that checks for terrain above below, and next to, and centers in it somehow)

so Mines work, safecorp sort of works, Mines fit, safecorp doesn't. Point goes to mines.

the problem is the mines only have vertical corridors, it also needs horizontal ones.


Oh yes, and ATrapModule doesn't show up in the buy menu that i could find.

It doesn't matter that you can't turn them on or off. The only one that really breaks that rule is the Smacker Floor, but that one can still be avoided, so it's OK in my book.
You can turn the plant off by using drop. It's then activated by an enemy walking nearby.
The harmless door is activated by somebody walking under the light. It can be turned off by shooting out the light.
What I meant by that, as I have explained a number of times, is that you can't just have something like a laser that is always going and will kill anything going by no matter what. The laser should be turned on when an enemy passes through a trigger, or shoots a certain enemy, etc.

@Miles: Apparently, ATrapModule is located in Bunker Systems.

If I'm not totally off in my mental calculations, about 10 hours remaining for those who haven't voted yet. If you haven't voted before, now would be a good time to do it.

Going by the current vote tallies, it looks like we have monolithic win syndrome again. One item gets all the votes, ahead of the pack by half of the total votes, and the other places are decided by one or two.

At least the weekend modfest turned out pretty fair.

Well, is there anything that can be done to prevent this? The regulations seems specific and clear enough this time, doesn't seem like the problem of the contest host.

I wasn't saying there's anything wrong with the way it turned out, just commenting on the pattern.
People just seem to like one entry above all others, consistently.
EDIT: It also tends to be the most Lua-rific mod. I suppose the novelty of Lua still raises a lot of eyebrows.

Perhaps 1st Place, 2nd Place and 3rd Place should be more directly influenced by voters.

For instance, if one mod is clearly 1st, and I vote for it because I feel it should win, then I forfeit any say in what mod I feel should have placed second, as my vote is spent. So for this contest, I voted for who I thought should place second, simply because I knew who I felt deserved first would get it with or without my vote.

If there was a way to tally everyone's choices for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it would probably remedy the "One Mod On Top" skew somewhat.

Though, I would not know how to do this unless you either:
-Make 3 separate polls were used (one for each place), which unfortunately would be confusing and clunky.
-Have everyone simply post their 1st, 2nd and 3rd picks (removes anon voting, but can be remedied by the method below).
-Have everyone send the contest thread starter (probably Duh102) a PM with their choices for each place, and he tallies them up silently. Would be more work on Duh's part though.

Another option, I can make it so that voters pick multiple mods. It's directly in the poll options, 1 by default. I can bump that up to 3 for next contest, if people are interested in such a method.

But then people could vote 3 times for the same one couldn't they? and how would we differentiate the votes? we'd probably end up with 3 first places, one is supposed to be first, one second, and one 3rd. but which is which? what if people disagree on first place but everyone votes for the same thing for second, second place becomes the first place winner, and thats kinda dumb.
