Trouble in Trork Town (TTT)

Trouble in Trork Town (TTT) – Hytale Mod

   

Trouble in Trork Town is an open-source gamemode for Hytale, inspired by the classic Trouble in Terrorist Town from Garry’s Mod. It can also be configured to be played as Murder Mystery. And its published in github, curseforge and modtale, supporting the latest Hytale version.

Players are assigned hidden roles each round and must rely on deduction, investigation, and deception to survive. Innocents attempt to uncover the truth, traitors sow chaos from the shadows, and detectives use special tools to piece everything together—before it’s too late.

The project was prototyped during Hytale’s first week and is designed to be modular, configurable, and extensible, making it easy for the community to build on top of it.

Quick Start

• To set up this mod, please follow the guide at: CONFIG.md
• Open the special shop by using double-tap on the Alt key (while alive and in the appropriate role, Traitor or Detective).
• Open the scoreboard: press the O key.
• Minimum players: configurable in the server configuration (e.g. config.json). Default: 3 players.
• Maps: at least one map template must be configured under mods/ncode_ttt/maps (the map system requires a configured map to run).

Current Features

🎭 Roles System

• Configurable roles. Default ones are:
• Innocents: need to survive and work together to identify and eliminate traitors.
• Traitors: must eliminate everyone without getting caught.
• Detectives: have special tools to help expose the truth.

2. Round starts automatically when enough players join.
3. Playing

1. Roles are assigned.
2. Deaths affect win conditions and karma.
3. Dead players become spectators.
4. Aftermatch

1. Cooldown before the next round.
2. Ideal for map voting or short downtime.

Win conditions are evaluated dynamically as players die.

• Detective skin
• Separate chat channels (alive / dead / spectator)
• Karma-based punishments and reputation system
• Improved UI/UX polish
