Tried out a randomized rotation and actually its pretty fun. Since the order changes with every map you never know whats coming next or what the final weapon is. You might 'level up' from a pistol to a saw. Or a saw to a pistol.

Nope no flame thrower in the mod. As for cooking nades and holding them that's just part of the game. They still have to get close to you and why its one level down from a knife. Yes it bugs me when that happens. A reverse rotation can be tried as a temp match for a day to see how it goes. But not going to make it the typical match unless everybody knows about it and agrees to it. Not going to put up with the 'you fucked it up' bullshit because someone doesnt like it.

Its only maybe 20 feet away same level in a house. Mostly I was just trying to use a second router instead of having to buy a new card or drills holes.

Yea that is what it says to do for a wired connection. But wireless? Am I supposed to set it up first with a wired connection and then change it?

I dont remember if I posted this. I recall something but dunno. Anyways, my PC is currently located in another room where it is not workable to get an ethernet cord from the cable/modem. So currently using one of those wireless-n thumb drives. Which works but it sucks. Seems unreliable. Anyone ever use a PCI wireless card for a pc? Are they reliable and do not drop connections or lag? I have a couple of routers laying around and I tried to get one to work as a bridge or something like that. Couldnt get it to. Since others have done it I assume that just means I didnt do it right. However I also read somewhere that doing it this way would cut the effective wireless speed in 1/2.

Crossbow removed. Added is the wa2000 with attachments available (silencer, steadycam). Appears after the m21 and 308 to go along with single-shot weapons before the m16. I dont see any issues here but as always keep an eye out and tell me if something isnt working properly. In that same category I could add the .50 since it also is a pretty unique weapon as well.

I'll remove the crossbow today. Maybe somewhere add the wa2000 later in the rotation since its scoped but also fast firing. As for a reverse order, might even be more interesting to make it a random order decided when the match starts. Everybody gets the same order but you never know whats next. Might be a machine gun. Might be a colt. The last one is always the knife however.

Yes it was a pretty good movie. However the man who wrote the book, Carl Sagan, also said 'extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'.

I didnt see that this morning. Yup very much RIP. Very versatile actor that could play any part.

Doesnt matter that both of those came out of a TV show?

Different mods.

In case you dont know, knife kills dont increase your gun progression.

No I didnt because those UFO sighting vids are always the same. Reminds of the South Park episode with the whackjob killer constantly saying 'do you see? do you see?'

Old shit spins when there is no fuel left to control it. Contrary to what some believe fuel doesnt last forever and there is no way to refuel them. Solar can power the electronics but cant make them turn. Even older spy satellites (which they never talk about) are massively big. Then include the huge reflective solar panels. If nothing else all you need to do is look at the aircraft and rockets needed. I used to live in that area and every time you saw one of them flying in you knew it was picking one up. Some family worked in the buildings nearby and they would tell me how big their payloads were. Besides, if they are shutting things off because they want to keep UFOs secret, why not shut it off to keep our own shit secret? That and they would have to be some pretty stupid aliens knowing that they would be caught on candid camera if they didnt move away first. Its not as tho a space station is some farmer with an iphone.

Some maps I noticed thats its not the size but how many exit points there are. Typical mapping 'rules' say every team spawn area should be reasonably protected and always have three fairly open directions in which teams can quickly exit the area. No choke points or climbing out of holes and such that require ladders or mantling. Keeping in mind that the standard game doesnt have spawn protection. However there are maps on the server that ignore this and spawn killing is a problem.

There is a lot of big shit up there. A whole lot of it is highly secret from over the years. Things like long dead massive spy satellites are still floating around. Not just ours but theirs. Its not as if NASA is going to tell everyone about it. Remember that everything we see they can see and once it goes up it seldom if ever comes down.

Ok maybe it was the other one asking for ideas about temp matches. I agree the crossbow is tough to use since its reload time is so long. Certainly makes things interesting tho. Maybe somewhere use the wa2000 in its place.

Please read through the thread. A few have suggested to set up a special match on a particular day that is nothing but explosives, rockets and tubes on bigger maps. And maybe the death machine. The operative words being 'special match'. So to be proactive there is no need to say anything like 'screwing things up' or insist that such things are not allowed.

Should all be working now. Wasnt reading custom configs and only doing defaults. So.... If people DO want to have a mayhem rotation with only rockets and tubes figure out a weapon rotation so it doesnt end too quickly. Also pick out good larger maps to try out.

Should be set to 5 and 5 but dont know if anyone restarted the server. Will do so and see what happens.

Reading and posting in XI takes up enough of my time as it is.

Whichever way people want to try I can look into it. Tho probably make the required kills much higher than two since there arent many weapons and it would be too easy.

What is a skill cannon and super skill cannon compared to a smaw? Dunno how nades would work on a big map. C4 is a total camper weapon anyways. Just throw and wait for an unlucky passerby.

Pick out some really big maps to test because yea on small maps it wouldnt really be fun. Strictly speaking, to work I think its a matter of setting the smaw as the first weapon but requiring 99 kills to get to the next.
