Gang Garrison 2

[SwampFae]

The talented folks behind Gang Garrison have just released version 2.2.

• Gang Garrison/Gang Garrison2 was originally made for the 2008 TIGSource.com 'Bootleg Demake' competition.
• Gang Garrison 2 is a free multiplayer 'demake' of Valve's Team Fortress 2 started by mrfredman and MedO along with many developers later adding new features.
• All 9 classes can be found here
• Many different TF2-inspired environments
• Fast-paced, team-based, multiplayer gameplay represented
• GG2 is the premier TF2 tribute/parody/alternative.

Gang Garrison 2 presents the player with 9 unique classes to use in frenetic, cooperative multiplayer action in a stylish and unique 8-bit style. Battle with your friends or others you encounter online through a whole range of vibrant maps; TF2 maps reimagined in 2D as well as a multitude of maps with all sorts of different looks and settings, all of which have been dreamed up and constructed by members of our community. We've made a huge effort to provide simple, bugfree custom map support, so that anyone with a paint application can put together a map and test it themselves with our Garrison Builder utility. We also gladly encourage Gang Garrison modifications; many successful mods have been incorporated into the game as new features.

While this game has come a long way, it is still a work in progress and many impressive new features are being planned such as new gametypes and alternate weapons. Because this game continues to grow only because of the devotion and hard work of our community, we invite you to come and participate in the future of this game. We are always looking for talented people to join the forum, contribute art, content, ideas, and modifications, and maybe even help us behind the scenes on new official versions. We hope you'll stop by and have a look at our game; it is the imagination and spirit of our players that makes it so fun.

So go have a look. It may contain primitive graphics. But it is VERY addictive!

Meet The Game Guide

Gameplay Guide

Connect to a server by opening the lobby and join a server by clicking its name. The
lobby will show the current map, number of players, and IP of servers running.
Alternatively, you can manually join a server if you know their IP and their
forwarded port.

Choose a team, RED or BLU, or select AutoSelect and let us choose your team for you.
Press N to change your team, or to Spectate and watch the action! Keep in mind you tie up a player slot on the server as a spectator!

Press M to open the Class Menu and choose your class. Choose option 0 to let us pick a class that might suit you!

The Heads-Up Display on your screen shows your class, the time left in the map,
your team, your ammunition, and your current health. All classes (except for the
rifleman) have ammunition that replenishes over time. Certain classes will also
have HUDs unique to them. Depending on the game mode, the HUD will display the
locations and status of the intels (Capture the Flag), the status of the Control
Points (Control Point), the number of players left and the status of the Arena
Point (Arena), or the health of the Generators (Generator).

The scoreboard shows the current score of every player. It also displays the
name of the current server and map.



Gameplay Tips

Runner:

• Use paths that no other class can use!
• Your scattergun does a surprising amount of damage!
• Keep some ammo saved up in case you need to fight an infiltrator!

Firebug:

• Use your airblast to push foes into a bad spot!
• Always extinguish your teammates with the airblast if they're on fire!
• Put a foe on fire and let the afterburn take care of the rest!

Rocketman:

• Your rockets can go through teammates!
• Rocketjump up to high platforms or to rain rockets from above!
• Rockets can destroy the detonator's mines with an explosion!

Overweight:

• Eat a manvich when it's safe, not when there are enemies around!
• Don't eat a manvich if a healer is waiting to heal you!
• Remember to retreat if you're taking too much damage!

Detonator:

• You can detonate your mines in the air; they don't have to 'stick' to a surface to detonate!
• Your mines get stronger the longer they are out, to a maximum of 50 damage!
• Sticky mines can destroy other detonator's mines with an explosion!
• Shoot a sticky and detonate it at the same time while pointing down to propel yourself like a Rocketman!

Healer:

• You heal and charge superburst twice as fast on teammates low on health!
• You slowly regenerate your health!
• Quickly use your medigun to heal off afterburn!
• Use your superburst to get past a tight chokepoint!

Constructor:

• You regenerate Nuts and Bolts slowly, but picking up metal from a destroyed autogun instantly gives you 50! Health cabinets also give you all your Nuts and Bolts back!
• Autoguns can't shoot straight up, so watch out!

Infiltrator:

• The enemy can still hear you jump even if you are cloaked!
• Your revolver is a lot stronger than it looks! It has a lot of range too!
• Passive invisibility is always useful!

Rifleman:

• Stay moving in case an infiltrator is eyeing your back!
• Scope out if you need to move around!

Secret Class:

• There is no secret class, and you can 'QQ' about it.

Meet The Game Modes

There are four gameplay modes:

• Capture the Flag
• Control Point
• Arena
• Generator

Capture the Flag:
Find the opposing team's intel and return it to where yours usually sits to score a point.
Score a certain number of points to win the round!

Control Point:
Control Point comes in two flavors, Standard or Attack/Defend:
Standard - Capture all the Control Points to win the match.
or
Attack/Defend - RED Team must capture all the Control Points to win,
and BLU Team must prevent RED from doing so.

Arena:
There is no respawning in this mode, and the last team standing wins the round. If neither
team finishes the other off, then there is a control point you can capture to win the round.
Round wins are cumulative and the team with the most rounds won at the end wins the match.

Generator:
An original mode exclusive to Gang Garrison 2. Both teams have a special generator which
are the objectives of the map. A team must keep their generator running and destroy the
enemy generator to win.

HowToerver/Preferences

To run a server using only these maps, open gg2.ini and make sure no custom map list is specified ("MapRotation=" under [Server] should be left blank).
To change the order the maps are played, change the numbers next to the map names; the maps will play in numerical order from least to greatest. Place a zero next to a map to ignore it.

Using Custom Maps:
To run a server using custom maps, make a folder called "Maps" in the same
path as Gang Garrison 2.1.exe and place the compiled map file (it will have a ".png" extension) inside. Create a text file with any name, like "maplist.txt", and open gg2.ini.
Next to "MapRotation=" under [Server], type the name of this file.

Open your maplist file and type the name of each map you want to play in order:
For instance:
ctf_2dfort
ctf_mynewmap
ctf_orange

would play ctf_2dfort, a custom map with the filename "ctf_mynewmap.png", and
then ctf_orange. Then it would play ctf_2dfort again. These names are case sensitive.

Players on your server can download maps from the internet when they join if you provide a locator file.
First, upload your map to the internet, whether on your own website or a filehost that allows direct linking.
Do not worry if it changes the filename, as long as it keeps the extension .png it will be fine. Create a file in your Maps folder called "mapname.locator" where "mapname" is the same as in the file "mapname.png".

Inside this file, simply paste the direct link to your file on the internet.
Be careful that the link is direct and not a php redirect!
Now when players join your server, they will download the map and your locator file so they may also host the map on their servers.
