Buu's Swords 2.0

Why get buu's Swords?

Most melee weapons available for Garry's Mod are just click to attack/kill. These weapons require timing, skill, and allow you to attack in combos. Think Dark Souls PVP, but without all the rolling around. These weapons are also designed to fully support players with weaker internet connections and come with a set of custom animations for both first and third person. Designed to be highly configurable, easy to modify, and easy to add new weapons and shields without any coding or modeling experience required!

• The entire addon has been rewritten for optimization, cleanliness, and to be more modification friendly.
• The Lua Animations API is now much easier to install.
• New and improved shield menu, providing new information such as weapon stats and a combat tutorial
• You can now block with no shield.
• Two handing swords!
• Heavily customizable and easy to translate to other languages.
• Swords have weight, just like shields.
• Durability system. Cracks will start showing on your sword/shield when damaged!
• New and improved third person animations created thanks to my Blender plugin.

• 11 Weapons and 7 shields included of various sizes
• A tool that lets you make new weapons and shields with no coding or modeling experience.
• A unique combat system with combos, weapon holds, parrying and guard breaking.
• Heavily customizable.
• Fully predicted to work with clients with high ping.
• Custom Worldmodel animations (Yes, no more crowbar/melee1 animations anymore) (Extreme thanks to JetBoom for creating the Lua Animations API)

Planned Features

• An anvil entity with a minigame to allow users to repair their gear
• Knives, spears, warhammers, bows, etc... Essentially, I want to turn this from "Buu's Swords" to "Buu's Medieval Weapons"

1. Simply drag the addon into your addons folder
2. Read the "animationsapi install.txt" to finish the install and make sure you don't have any errors (Sorry, but this manual step is required to have the worldmodel animations. This has been heavily simplified compared to the old version of the addon).
3. If on a server, use the content addon on Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700978549

Note: Linux servers do not like it when filenames have capital letters or spaces in them. If you are on a Linux based server, I recommend renaming the addon folder from Buus Swords to buus-swords.

• Non shielded, single handed users will have a slight arm flicker when performing third person animations. This bug can be fixed but I need to get in touch with some people to be able to do so (due to the permissions of editing the animations API).
• The addon is not yet fully compatible with Nutscript/Clockwork/Helix. These gamemodes utilize NPC animations for players, and as a result requires that the entire addon's third person animations be redesigned to fit the different animation set. If you wish to use this for those gamemodes, for the time being you must enable player animations until a proper patch has been written (which might take a while). However, I have already implemented some basic code to deal with these gamemode's weapon holster system, among other things, so the addon will work perfectly for that.

Q: Does this addon support other gamemodes like Nutscript, TTT, etc...?

A: Out of the box, the addon was only designed for Sandbox derived gamemodes (such as DarkRP). It is a goal of mine to make Nutscript/Clockwork support work out of the box, and is something that should be in the upcoming updates. If you need help getting the addon working with another gamemode, however, feel free to open a support ticket so it can be looked at. The weapons and shields work perfectly fine in TTT, however you must configure them to yourself (that being, if you want to replace the crowbar, if you want to make them buyable for traitors/detectives, etc...)

Q: Will it work with X playermodel?

A: It should work with all playermodels error free. However this doesn't mean that the animations will. It's really inconvenient for PVP to use non valve-biped models as the animations provide queues for when to attack, parry, if someone's blocking, etc…

Q: Can I hire you to port a weapon model to this base?

A: There is no point as you can do it yourself. The addon comes with a sword and shield making tool (in your weapons menu), allowing you to make custom content without any 3D modeling or coding experience!

Q: Can I make so custom jobs in DarkRP spawn with a sword/shield?

A: Yes! This is explained in the FAQ that comes with the addon.

Q: What has changed since the 1.X version? Will my old stuff work with the new version?

A: lot has changed. Please read the changelog provided on GModStore. A lot of things have become incompatible, including the custom swords and shields. For getting DarkRP jobs spawning with specific shields, please refer to the explanation in the Customization section in this text document. Regarding custom swords/shields, if you saved their settings in the creator tool (via the save button), you can load them without any problems regarding viewmodel/worldmodel positioning. However you will need to review all combat relating settings as the system has changed quite a bit due to the double handing mechanic.

Q: My question isn't on here?

A: Make a support ticket, as I always reply to them. I prefer this over cluttering my steam friends list, but that can be done as well.
