A modification/fork of the echoes beyond garry's mod gamemode, just random changes that i put Includes:
- Skin system that gives a few maps and the first echo on the map a unique skin
- Funky "draft" system to make up to 3 echoes queued to be created when cooldown expires
- "Pin" echo system to pin echoes you want to remember, along with a translate feature
- A couple extra settings
- Map list filters (installed, uninstalled, echoed on/not echoed)
- Map list shows your personal echoes next to the global echoes count
- Community menu, Listing a wall of people who have contributed to the community
- More verbose info in the tab menu
- "Scary" mode for fun (makes map dark, new 'music'), Requires Gmod Light / Environment Editor
- Echoes follow the cameras height to help with vents being annoying
- Couple extra QOL things (will expand)
i am unsure if i will add too much here, but its here! I do not have access to the serverside/backend of EchoesBeyond, This version does not ping the servers any more than the normal mod, for this reason i cannot add things such as timestamps to the echoes
alt + e while reading an echo to open the pin/translate options, you have to hold alt and tap e, releasing alt does the selected option
recommended to make a backup of your readechoes.txt in your garrysmod/data/echoesbeyond folder, as this version will convert it to a new format that does not work and breaks the original mod.
edit: The mod now saves/converts to a separate readechoes_plus.txt, that doesn't interfere with the original, do note reading echoes with this fork doesn't add to the original mod's readechoes!
Firstly, disable the original addon in-game, as this is a fork, it uses much of the same code
In steam, right click garry's mod and press "Properties", navigate to "Installed files" from the sidebar, and press "Browse" Navigate to the addon's folder (GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons)
Unzip the code downloaded from here into the addons folder, Or git clone into the addons folder, the folder should directly lead to the asset folders and not another sub-folder (gamemodes/lua/materials/etc) Restart/Launch GMod
You should now have an Echoes beyond plus selectable in the gamemodes! If it still shows as normal echoes: Beyond, you may not have disabled the original addon or restarted
To update, simply repeat the steps above, replacing the files, Or git pull from inside the EB+ folder to update
