# Beatrun | Community edition

* [Русский](./README_ru.md)\
  *(If you can read English: This isn't maintained, I don't speak Russian)*

**PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS ON OUR SERVER!**

Infamous parkour gamemode for Garry's Mod.\
Fully open sourced and maintained by the community (like 4 people I think).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This repository does not contain any malicious modules whatsoever. These modules are present for more functionality however:
>
> * Discord Rich Presence
> * Steam Presence
>
> **They are optional and can be removed at any time.**\
> You can find all compiled modules **[here](lua/bin)** in the repository.\
> Check **[Credits](#credits)** section for module source code.

## Automatic Installation?

Not supported. I (LostTrackpad) am not going to set this up.[^2]

## Manual Installation

### *Method 1: Repository download and extract (easy)*

***Note**: `<Garry's Mod game folder>` is a placeholder for your Garry's Mod game folder.*

1. **[Download this repository](https://github.com/LostTrackpad/beatrun-forked/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip)**.
2. **Delete the `beatrun` folder in *`<Garry's Mod game folder>/garrysmod/addons`* if you have one.**
3. Extract the `beatrun-main/beatrun` folder to *`<Garry's Mod game folder>/garrysmod/addons`*.
   * If you want to have Discord and Steam Presence:
     * Extract the `beatrun-main/lua` folder to *`<Garry's Mod game folder>/garrysmod`*.
4. That's it, Beatrun is installed.

### *Method 2: Using Git and Directory Junctions* ***(Windows 10+ Only!)***
> [!WARNING]
> This method requires:<br>
> * **A working and up to date installation of Windows 10 or above.**
> * A **working and usable** installation of Git for Windows on the system
> * The drive volume you have Garry's Mod on ***must*** use a file system that supports Windows Directory Junctions (this will likely be NTFS)<br>

> [!IMPORTANT]
> ***May*** work on Windows 7/8, but those versions of Windows are **no longer supported**! You really should upgrade if you're running either of those, and I will not provide support!

If you're ready and willing to use this method, read [this](repocontent/WindowsGitInstallGuide.md) guide to continue.

## New Features

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This version has *lots* of undocumented features and fixes. Look into the commit history if you wanna see all of them.

* Jonny_Bro (original fork creator) is hosting **[a custom course database](https://courses.jonnybro.ru)**, which is ***free***[^1] to use and also **[open source](https://git.jonnybro.ru/jonny_bro/beatrun-courses-server-express)**!
* New *Deathmatch* gamemode (it's definitely more fun than *Data Theft* trust us)
* "Proper" kick glitch just like in **[original game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK5y3NBUStc)**
  * Kick glitch behavior type toggle (yep, original kick glitch is still usable!) - `Beatrun_OldKickGlitch` to toggle
* In-game configuration menu - you can find it in the spawn menu, in the **`Beatrun`** category\
  ***Most*** Beatrun settings can now be configured there! Use `cvarlist beatrun_` to list *all* Beatrun options (and some commands), including some I didn't list
* Discord and Steam Presence *(only Discord presence is new actually)*
* Localization support.\
  Now in 7 languages *(mostly, some stuff is locked in English)*!
* Dismounting from ladders with your duck key (default is `CTRL`)
* Removing ziplines created with Zipline Gun using your alternate fire bind (default is `Right Mouse Button`)
* Arrow that points to the next checkpoint
* Serverside option to enable Overdrive mode in multiplayer: `Beatrun_AllowOverdriveInMultiplayer`
* Serverside option to allow prop spawning without being an admin: `Beatrun_AllowPropSpawn`.
* Serverside toggle for health regeneration: `Beatrun_HealthRegen`
* You can change HUD colors (client only)! Use `Beatrun_HUDTextColor`, `Beatrun_HUDCornerColor`, and `Beatrun_HUDFloatingXPColor`
* Clientside to allow disabling the grapple: `Beatrun_DisableGrapple`.
* ConVar to allow QuickTurn with any weapon or only with *Runner Hands* (client) - `Beatrun_QuickturnHandsOnly`.
* Small camera punch when diving.
* Your Steam account ID/*SteamID* is no longer shown on screen
## Some Older (?) Fixes

* Some playermodels showing up as **`ERROR`**
* Leaderboard sorting in gamemodes
* Allow using the grapple in Time Trial and gamemodes
* Crash in Data Theft when touching Data Bank
* Collision issues - PvP damage not going through in gamemodes other than Data Theft
* Allowed jumping while walking *(don't ask me, Jonny did this...)*.
* Tweaked safety roll to allow rolling under stuff
* Some grapple tweaks (moves with attached entity, other players can see rope)

## TODO

* [ ] Loadouts creation menu for Data Theft and Deathmatch. (I don't do UI stuff, I can't do this).
