About this mod Author’s original text

Gentlemen's Overtime

Four new events for when the round timer runs out in A Gentlemen's Dispute, built on the game's official mod loader. They run on every map, the game's own and any mod's, next to the game's Rising Lava and bombs: each of the six comes up 1 time in 6.

Everyone in the lobby needs the same version installed.

Events

| Event | What happens |

|---|---|

| Flood! | Water rises instead of lava and the fog turns blue. Anyone caught under the surface is bitten by the shark and thrown back to a spawn above the water, until the round is won. |

| Storm! | A glowing forcefield circle closes in. It starts around every spawn, shrinks, then closes on a single spawn; a dashed ring shows where it goes next. Outside it you take 4 damage a second, then 8, then 14 and more once it has closed. |

| Lightning! | Rain falls, the sky darkens and bolts come down on whoever stands highest. A ring on the floor warns where each bolt lands: step out of it to dodge. From 15 s a second player is targeted too, from 30 s everyone, and the strikes come faster and hit harder. |

| Musical Chairs! | Armchairs drop from the sky on ropes, one fewer than the players left, and a scratchy gramophone waltz starts. Walk into a free chair to sit. When the music stops, an unseen marksman shoots everyone still standing (20 damage). Any hit knocks a sitter out of their chair, so the attacker can take the seat. |

Manual install

  • Close the game.
  • Download this package (Manual Download) and unzip it anywhere.
  • Open the game's folder: in Steam, right-click A Gentlemen's Dispute > Manage > Browse local files.
  • Open the Mods folder there (create it if it is missing).
  • Copy the GentlemensOvertime folder from the zip into Mods, so you end up with Mods\GentlemensOvertime\mod.json. Copy the whole folder, not just what is inside it; the other files in the zip (manifest.json, README.md, icon.png) are not needed.
  • Start the game. The mod is loaded automatically.
  • Updating: delete the old Mods\GentlemensOvertime folder first, then copy in the new one.
  • Uninstalling: delete Mods\GentlemensOvertime.

Don't edit or add files inside the mod folder: the game checks the mod's files, and a changed folder will not match other players in a lobby.

Notes

  • Damage and who gets targeted are decided by the host; the effects and sounds play for everyone.
  • Not everything has been tried with remote clients yet. Bug reports welcome:
  • Credits: the waltz is the opening of Johann Strauss II's The Blue Danube (public domain), synthesised for this mod. All sounds and the chair model were made for this mod.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
