cod4 main server notes:

 

6/21/2014 uploaded a couple script fixes to deal with a couple CI's. Seemed to be people leaving the game at odd times and the game trying to do things when the player is no longer there. Maybe rage quiting? Maybe PB kicks? During heavy times there are people coming and going constantly so there might have been hiccups. Report of misplaced or empty bubbles. Only saw it once, which was empty, and might have been be related to people leaving at weird times also. Otherwise it should only be created after you respawn wherever you are.

Thanks Sammy, rage quitters and antsy pants players coming and going flat out last couple of days

i seen a bunch of empty bubbles today.

also what happend to dropping sentry when you die  can we put this back

[Sammy]

I changed the sentry thing for now because they are relatively difficult to get and its not really fair to just force them to drop in a bad area or facing in a bad direction. Since you cannot pick them up... which was done so people didnt move them around and camp... it seemed fair to allow them to keep it through death.  No different than getting a heli.  Lately I have seen more of them used probably because of this. And the enemy is paying more attention to them and blowing them up. So it all balances out.

 

It looks like the empty bubble problem was mostly due to rage quiting and a timing problem when they do that. Added a couple extra checks to that and uploaded the script but all the bubbles turned to missing FX/model. So took the new script out until I get that sorted out. Might get a CI here and there until then.

Loving not dropping sentries on death. Always felt wasted when a random nade got you leaving spawn.

It might take people a while to figure out they need to use the drop object bind though

Due to some really bad campers lately going to try this.

 

Reenable the bounty system. No disabling of weapons if you are caught doing it unlike the regular anti-camping system. So if you insist on camping you wont lose a weapon. But it will increase the price on your head. It doesnt go away until collected.  If your camping gets so bad and the bounty is high enough you are targetted for termination with a moneybag waypoint over your head. Snipers are exempt as always but if you had the bounty before with an assault class for example, and switch to sniper, the bounty remains. But this would only happen if you suicide or do something silly like fall down a well and kill yourself because even tho you died the bounty wasnt collected by anybody. This is not meant to make the server into a total run-and-gun game nor affect occasional campers since it is part of the game. But to add an incentive for the really bad ones to not do it so much.

PPL are Still bubble camping I ran into a frozen guys bubble last night when someone dropped a NUKE and the bubble kept me from dieing.Also while inside some ones bubble you can Not be Killed by Nades C4 Tubes or Even an RPG round and you can Not shoot though the bubbles.

 

 

Tthe Damn AGM can not be shot down with machine gun fire.You get No HIT MARKERS when shooting at an AGM.I put 300 rounds into 1 from an RPD with red dot.I know most of the bullets were dead on target I don't just Spam at them.

 

 

And the Armor is WAY to strong VS Nades,RPG and TUBES.I stuck a sticky nade on you Sammy and your Body armor saved your butt.I've hit ppl in the Chest with RPGs Point Blank and the Body armor saves them.

The non-solid bubble is in the mod update. But if this is a problem right now I will increase the time for the radiation if you are close. I know about the Reaper. I made a mistake when compiling the mod. Unfortunately during testing nobody bothered to try and shoot it down. Thinking about some way to compensate somehow. Armor, relative to explosives, is similar to the flak jacket in BO. So it does reduce explosives damage considerably. Except unlike the flak jacket once used it is gone. That was the trade off. You get the benefits of protection but only once. Think of it as a condom.

 

As for semtex being stuck to me, I dont actually recall the last time that happened. But a couple of my classes have armor and because I suck I die a lot with few kills to show for it. Then I respawn again with the armor. If I get a 1:2 ratio its a good day. So gimme a break.

[ScRiPt3r]

lol "think of it as a condom" lmao

 

nice Sammy!

 

btw.. seriously.. thank you for all the work you do on the mods. i know i would never be able to begin to understand how you do what you do, but i do know i enjoy playing them, so thank-you.

It was in the map with the Big Church I was in the Barn *T-Bagging someone that I just killed lol*  and you ran into the bottom level of the Big tower and I tossed a sticky at you.

 

 

Update sounds AWESOME Sammy.

 

 

 

"Some" people can shoot through the bubbles without Any problems.Yes I scream HACKER every time it happens to lol.

Non-solid bubble OMG YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!  That Will fix the bubble camping.

 

 

Can't wait to touch some Non solid b00bles *wink *wink

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey @@Sammy thanks for all the hard work man.

 

 

 

 

Hey @@ScRiPt3r check this out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lmao.

[Sammy]

You can shoot 'out' of the bubble but not into it, and out the other side. An oversight on my part and right now the best that can be done is to discourage people from standing inside of them by shocking them.

Looks like im screwed lol

6/24/2014: Bounty system uploaded and enabled. Played a few maps and no problems as far as I can tell. I will likely have to add exceptions to the rule for unusual situations. So if any pop up let me know what they are so I can see what to do about it. In case a camper is targeted, and his team wins the round, on the next round he will remain targeted until the bounty is collected.

 

So the moral of the story is that minor camping is fine. Just dont be a douche and do it constantly.
