Make TTT2 Compatible with base TTT

[AstralF1ghter]

The problem I had with making a TTT2 map is when the RoundEnd output didn't give value depending on who won, thus making it really hard to make custom win music, depending on who wins. RoundPrep output quite literally doesn't work; not playing music whenever a new round starts. And using an Add-on isn't a solution for me, as I want to make the music compatible for both TTT1 AND TTT2

The solution I would like is to make TTT2 compatible with TTT-related entities, like TTT map settings entity. As it stands, TTT RoundEnd and RoundPrep outputs don't work quite well, and I'm bad at Lua too...

An alternative could be making an FGD file that has a custom TTT entity, similar to TTT map settings, but made for TTT2. I'm not the best when it comes to solutions, but this is just my suggestion.

Context about the map: I tried making RoundEnd output give value to Logic_Case entity, then depending on who won activate Logic_relay entities, and then Ambient_generic. While it worked fine in base TTT, it straight up didn't function in TTT2. Not sure what causes it, though.

looks very important
and looks like plus one reason why people might hate TTT2

Thanks for reporting the issue, can you provide some examples of outputs that you need and comparisons of what is currently outputted in base TTT and TTT2?

I never worked with the map entities, so my knowledge there is limited.
Having those would give me a more clear idea on what to fix here ✌️

Thanks! Also, would be a good chance to learn Lua if you or someone else feels like it. We are always happy to review and our discord is really supportive!

I'm honestly not sure if anything is outputted in TTT2, but maybe I haven't done enough testing; however, in base TTT, TTT_map_settings' RoundEnd outputs number values (from what I remember, 3 is innocent win, 2 is traitor win, 1 is timelimit and 4 is draw; but in short, just numbers depending on who wins). Now, again, I haven't done enough testing for TTT2, so maybe it outputs something else, and maybe that's why it doesn't function properly, but it would be appreciated if, once again, it was made more compatible with base TTT entities.

Also, would be a good chance to learn Lua if you or someone else feels like it.

Actually, when I started working on the map, I managed to add a hook for map deaths, and if someone dies, it plays a sound effect, and it works in every round, so maybe I, in fact, CAN do something with Lua, albeit it's gonna take a while to learn it fully. But, in short, I do hope it will be easier to make more functions work in both versions of the game :).

Also, as for RoundPrep output on TTT_map_settings, it straight up doesn't work with TTT2 (or atleast I think so). I had the entity play music when round preparation starts, but it only does that in TTT and not TTT2 lol.
