Config Breakdown
This list contains all the names and explanations of what each variable in the GChem config, located at garrysmod\data\gchem_config.txt, does.

Highly recommended to use this discussion to make changes to the config because the file layout is an unreadable mess that I do not know how to fix.

To keep this list as short as possible, variables are split into 7 categories

Gas Physics:
  • Linger Time- Multiplier affecting how long gas particles survive, however, does not effect optimized gas particles as I do not know how to dynamically change particle effect lifespans. Variables using this are ChlorineLingerTime, PhosgeneLingerTime, GreenCrossLingerTime, MustardLingerTime, CyanideLingerTime, CSLingerTime, SarinLingerTime and VXLingerTime.
  • Precise particle have 2 main sizes, regular and diffuse, regular applies full exposure at a normal radius, while gas will go into a diffuse state if there are no gas particles in its regular radius. Diffuse gas effects a larger radius, applies less exposure, decays faster, and is less opaque.

Variables using this are ChlorineRegularRadius, PhosgeneRegularRadius, GreenCrossRegularRadius, MustardRegularRadius, CyanideRegularRadius, CSRegularRadius, SarinRegularRadius and VXRegularRadius.

What's the format for blacklisting NPCs?

I tried this:

"BlacklistedNPCs": [
npc_metropolice
],
#1
Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 3, 2020 @ 8:41pm 
"BlacklistedNPCs": {
"npc_citizen": true
}
remember to use curly brackets {}, not regular brackets [], not sure why it uses regular brackets there.

Heres my table, I don't understand what's wrong with it. Any tips?

"BlacklistedNPCs": {
"npc_metropolice": true,
"npc_combine_s": true,
"npc_clawscanner": true
"npc_combine_camera": true,
"npc_combine_cannon": true,
"npc_combine_dropship": true,
"npc_combine_gunship": true,
"npc_cscanner": true,
"npc_dog": true,
"npc_hunter": true,
"npc_helicopter": true,
"npc_manhack": true,
"npc_rollermine": true,
"npc_sniper": true,
"npc_turret_ceiling": true,
"npc_turret_ground": true,
"npc_turret_floor": true
},

Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 3, 2020 @ 9:21pm 
One, things like turrets, manhacks, other robotic enemies aren't even targeted by default, so those are actually unnecesarry. Two, it looks like you missed a comma behind clawscanner. Otherwise, it looks fine
#4
lizziekitty♥ Aug 3, 2020 @ 9:33pm 
Wow! It's very rare to see a workshop dev who answers questions and helps people like this. The missing comma fixed it for me. Thank you!!

PS: I was forced to set the file to read-only because on every launch, the file is reset to default. Might have to take a look at that lol.
#5
Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 4, 2020 @ 2:51pm 
atlev, something I just realised, the reason the file is reset is because, every time I update the mod, I change the version number, which means the config from the previous version is wrote to the gchem_config_old.txt file. AKA, your settings are still there, just in an old file.

How do i change the gas particle type to Precise in the config?
#7
Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 7, 2020 @ 9:38am 
2 things, there is a convar gc_optimizedgas, which, when set to 0, makes all gas optimized, also, in the config, there are variables going by the format [gasname]Optimized (gasname is a stand in), that, if set to false, will make that type of gas precise when everything else is optimized.

xan Aug 7, 2020 @ 10:31am 
how do i change the amount of blur?
#9
Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 7, 2020 @ 10:34am 
Currently, you can't change the amount of blur, just the dose that blurring starts at. I'm not sure if I will ever add a feature for that either, because lessening the blur does have a considerable impact on gameplay.
#10
Freaking Fission  [developer] Aug 7, 2020 @ 10:40am 
On second thought, I might add a blur strength variable in the config (added)

What does the blacklist npc format do? and why is "blacklistNPC" not a valid command in the console?
#12
Freaking Fission  [developer] Sep 8, 2020 @ 8:36pm 
npc blacklist is used to make an npc class invulnerable to gas, so if you want say, combine soldiers, to be immune for some mission thing you are doing, then you are covered. It is not a valid command because it is part of the gchem config, not a console command

"BlacklistedNPCs": {
"npc_combine_commander": true
},


I really don't know what I did wrong ._.
