OW2 beta 6

[Sammy]

Ok guys and gals uploaded the next compile for the mod to the test server. Hopefully the known issues like incorrect team counts and too loud weapons fire for sc2010 and saritch should be taken care of. As always, the more people that play it the better things will be.

 

Three files have been updated: modff, i.iwd and w.iwd. So you dont have to download the others again make a copy of the xi_mw2_146b5 folder. Rename it b6 instead of b5. It should ignore the unchanged files.

 

 

Added... Last Stand. Yes that one. Operates as normal except for two changes. You dont get your pistol until after you fall. A bit over one second since you were shot. So while you will be invulnerable at this time (due to the player animations) you wont be able to fire back. Will see how the timing goes and if 1 second is a tad too long.

 

The second change is that LS lasts 30 seconds instead of 10 to be more in line with cod5 and others. During this time Combat Medics can heal you and you will be restored to 1/2 max health (might change that to full). However players in LS cannot heal themselves with their own medkits. Takes 1 second for a medic to heal the downed player. You will see your weapon drop and the medkit icon. While you are healing... the icon on the screen... you cannot be shot for that 1 second. Enemies that shoot medics should be flogged.

Nice work, thank you Sammy.

[Blaze]

In the one second before LS allows you to get your gun out.... can you be finished off by the enemy?

[Sammy]

One of the most hated things about LS was that while you fall you cant be shot. As a practical matter this kind of thing is required or LS would be worthless. But neither is it fair for you to be able to shoot back at this time. So that was delayed. Timings will likely need to be tweaked but in the end the goal is that if you can shoot the enemy then the enemy can shoot you. But not until then.

 

I invite people to go try it out for themselves and see.

[Sammy]

READ ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is why I implore people to at least try out the various weapons in mod updates in addition to general stability, new features or any script errrors when they have a little bit of spare time.

 

I noticed a problem with the reflex ads fire for the Saritch early yesterday after I uploaded all the files for beta 6. It was really bad. Iron sights and acog were fine.  Turns out it was simply because I had the wrong fire animation for it (three missing letters... ads... in the setting). That was all. Now its all good but I havent uploaded it yet. Will do that later. There are so many weapon+attachment combos that its hard to test them all out myself.

 

The only other thing I noticed that was wrong with the Saritch, compared to what it should be, is the ammo counts. They are slightly too large. According to the cod wiki it should be 20 for the mag + 60 more in stock on spawn. With Scavenger max ammo count should be 160.

 

This is the kind of thing I am hoping to know about so I can fix them early.

 

Oh and yes the RC-XD sound distance looks to maybe be too short so I will be extending it by %50 and see what happens.

[Tim]

Have you fixed the kicking when the server is full?

[Sammy]

On beta 6 only way to know if for the server to actually be full.

[Tim]

No way that's gonna happen if no one joins , lol

[Sammy]

Yes if it doesnt happen I might have to go the nuclear option again.

[J3st3r]

Speaking of Nuke the Mini nuke SUCKS.You'll get a whole bunch of hit markers if you drop it in enemy spawn but your lucky to get 1 kill with it.I'm thinking it's damage related.It Only kills people that have taken some dmg from poison bullet perk or whatever?

 

Dmg on the Nova Gas grenade needs bumped Up a bit.I haven't seen a single Nova Gas kill yet ingame.It just slows them down a bit.If walking though it you take 2-3 hits.I did however kill a few people by using it as a melee weapon and Hit them in the face with it lol.

I was able to survive a mini nuke by bandaging through it.

[NousDefions]

I like the new mini nuke.  the closest I ever get to getting one is when it is dropped on me

[Sammy]

Bandages have been in the mod for a long time. Most people just didnt bother to use them even tho it could save their lives.

[Sammy]

Oh and Death... please see my previous post regarding the words 'it sucks'.

[DramaLlama]

- can't see the killstreaks listed at the bottom of the screen like in beta 5.  have no idea what streaks you have.

- fired an RPG, it went straight 5 feet, then flew up at a 45 degree angle, like it ricocheted off of something.

[Sammy]

The way it was before, where you saw them all the time, was temporary for people to get used to the idea that there were three streaks. But I saw that it is also very convenient so I will be working on that. I prefer a clean hud so I will see what I can do.

[KicknDatAzz]

HI there. I found some odd things in the last couple of days with the 146 mod. Can you tell me which perk is supossed to protect you from the car? Maybe I dont have it set right, but it doesnt seem to be working. Is it Hacker? or stealth? or the combination that will not allow the car to kill you? I have a class that has both of them and the cars are killing me left and right. One of these times I put an EMP nade right on top of an enemy car and it had no effect :-(

 

Also, this morning on a map I had Stealth and Hacker enabled and a clay killed me when I climbed a ladder. are the perks not working?

 

Thanks!

[Blaze]

Hardwired is the car jammer.

 

 

With the clay going off...this can happen when someone still in spawn protection sets it off, so you don't see them as it goes off, but you take the hit. Happens post car spawn protection too.

I will check out claymores to see if there is a problem.

 @Sammy why no more  hardcore mode??  (198.27.126.80:28960)

 1.    20  bullets and  no dies ..  he one bullet  and im dead (time to time)

 2.    with or without stoping power.. no difference

 4.    the server has a certain delay  (almost impossible to kill  us or canadian player) ( hardcore mode  It would help in this situation  i need 1 bullet to kill enemy without jacket  and 2 bullet enemy with jacket 

  this mode  create   extraordinary advantage  for us or canadian player

 

Thank you for listening!!

Thank you for your all efforts Sammy,knifing is now easier than before but it is way too far from normal.I made a video in server to show you that.Knifing still very hard and I found it is impossible to knife someone in their back who is running at a same speed with you.Here is the video(failing knifes    ) 

 please watch in hd 720p.

Ok I need some opinions to help with maps not working. Please read:

 

For image asset errors, like m_town, the problem is when I add goodies. Weapons, models, or hud elements. For example I need one for the stealth heli model and also another for the loadout menu, hud, and care package icon. So two of them in total. M32 for both the regular launcher but also the war machine. Duke icon for both him and commando. Stuff like that. But it all adds up. Ghost weapons have several but things like attachments use the same ones. So, for this kind of problem one or more images has to go. For m_town I dont know how much over budget it is. I would have do trial and error.

 

Opinions: What things could be removed or combined so two things can use the same one. Maybe just using text to tell them apart. Some things, like care package icons, I cannot do text. Just for when you are in range. Not all ideas would actually help but its worth a shot.

[Blaze]

Helis could all use same image as are distinguished by name...or is the name part of the image and therefore same image with different name would be classed as different image?

[Sammy]

If both name and picture were physically part of the images then yes they would have to be. In this case they are not. It is also a matter of where the icons are used. The streak ones are used in several places and removing them for text isnt feasible. I dont know what I would replace them with.

 

There are a handful of materials here and there that arent really needed and just look nice. Like the blood splatter background on streak rewards. I dont think that one is used elsewhere. So I can remove those. The melee splatter ones also. I do like the effect but I dont know if it really adds much to the game.

[Tron]

I would have to agree with Drama...I prefer having the list of kill streaks visible at all times. Not only for knowing what you have...but so that you can prevent choosing the wrong streak at the wrong time. Several times I have meant to go into my car when in a precarious situation...and out pops the grenade for a care package.....not helpful when deep in enemy territory lol.
