Checked, and no. Maybe there was a problem with it that I couldnt fix. I dont know.

Ok thank you. I do have a bunch if script updates that take care of issues that I havent uploaded yet.

Tried the defroster on Vukovar back in spawn on a rock behind the wall. So pretty well protected and in the location could see quite a bit of the play area. Got 10 players before it was destroyed.... tho two or three times it was myself close by. I wasnt shooting anybody just monitoring so an open target. Now just have to make sure it isnt too good. Such as how it works on a big open map where it could see everything. Is the new distance too long. Still has to be fair. Oh, and whoever got me with the predator and car... you should have thought of the team and took out the defroster that was closeby. Because after you got me I was defrosted in about 5 seconds. Pretty useful to have these things around your spawn area in protected spots. Especially if your enemies ignore them to get a kill. Next test, place the defroster and a sentrygun nearby to keep an eye on it. See if anyone can get it.

When hit by emp (yours or theirs) remote defrosting should be off so long as the timer is running. However you can still defrost by standing in the bubble.

Oh.... my... god!

Which worked? Rolling over and playing dead?

I bumped up the max range. So if anyone gets one to try, let me know how it goes.

Pretty sure but due to its size and speed its very hard to get a hit. However SAMs will go after it, if the launcher can see it.

Go into BIOS. I assume there is a page monitoring temps. Go there and see if the CPU temp spikes.

In terms of health, it has a lot more than the RC.

Its easy to shoot down because its a low-number kill streak. Actual health is the same as the UAV iirc.

Off topic but I dont play the OW2 server much anymore. Too many lag binders. Shooting and blowing up zombies is much more enjoyable. They dont cheat.

Boosting would still be a problem, passive or not, and something would have to be done to prevent it. The turret does have a minimum range. Mostly for practical purposes about trying to zero in on a player that close. It also has to be able to see the frozen player. Actually the same checks the regular sentry gun uses. The uav also and being in the air gives a better view certainly but it is easy to shoot down. Most dont bother and actually have be told to do it but that is another problem. I dont recall how long the turret lasts on the map nor the max range but that can certainly be increased to make it more useful for a higher streak if its not doing anything.

Ugh, two simultaneous ways of handling streaks. That will give me nightmares. An interesting idea tho. An option for getting streaks by defrosting... only via proximity or your gunsights... but kills do not count. You get them by saving people instead of killing people. However it is sometimes significantly easier to defrost a large number of players than to shoot them. Certainly in big games. There would be more defroster campers. Just hide out until you can defrost 14 and get a tacnuke. Snipers would probably like the idea as well. Those would have to be looked at. Have to watch out for boosters tho. Two players in a building in or close to spawn. 4t4scrap comes to mind. Player one makes it easy to shoot him through a window. The other hides and defrosts him. Player one goes back and repeats. The enemy thinks its doing great. When in fact all they are doing it making it easy for player two to get that tac nuke. Next round, they trade places. If there is one thing I have learned, on this server people will use any possible advantage or bug they can find. Yes that sometimes includes clan members. And of course they keep their mouths shut so I dont fix it. A conspiracy of silence. Sammy - Hey boom. iBoomBoom - yea? Sammy - I am one short of a tac nuke, could you stand up and let yourself be shot so I can defrost you and get it? iBoomBoom - Sure just thank me after you nuke em all. Yes, that kind of thing would happen sooner or later.

That is correct. It was a bug. But I didnt want to just get rid of the idea of some kind of air-support defrosting since it was a good one. So made up the defroster instead. As for bonuses, you mean like the ones for avenger? Any suggestions? I could probably add some more in beta 10.

Looked into the 'points' idea once, so defrosting could get something. But iirc few were actually interested in it. The one thing I did add, which is still there but off, is that you get some body armor every time you do a full defrost. Up to a certain point. So its not a direct way to get you a streak but gives you a small additional boost the next time you face an enemy. Maybe two rounds protection depending on the weapon. Upping the chances that you will get a streak depending on your skill. Of course the more often you defrost the more often you get some armor. But some people got mad at that. Probably the people that didnt defrost much. Players here like making kills by shooting off your big toe. I sometimes wonder what would happen if all hits to lower limbs (knees to feet) and arms (elbow to hand) were ignored. Probably get screamed at.

I assume you are doing double authentication?

To be perfectly honest, I added so much stuff to this mod to include more and more and more ways to defrost there should be no excuse now to not do it. And even then I still get asked sometimes 'what about this'

Yes. They do.

This is true. If you are spawn trapped dont play their game. Play yours. Get out. Try and get others farther away, maybe drawing the enemy away from your spawn.

If you want free, virtualdub will work. But you will probably have to find and download the x264 codec depending on what your video capture uses. Also, go here. More information that you can possibly want. Including a list of software and their benefits/disadvantages. The software page below assumes you are using one of the more mordern and advanced codecs and containers and not just simple avi. http://www.videohelp.com/ http://www.videohelp.com/software/sections/video-editors-h264-avc

In the end, if nothing works, buy a cheap headphone amp audio card. Much better sound than realtek anyways. edit: If you listen to lots music or need decent headphone sound these work well. Also if you dont use external speakers. I have the asus one myself. Many consider SB better than Asus because it is a more modern card with newer components and better software. But its a matter of personal preference and either one would be good. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Audigy-Performance-Headphone/dp/B00EO6X4XG https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XONAR-Headphone-Audio-Card/dp/B003ZXDOL6

I assume you are using onboard realtek sound. If it works plugging your headphones into the front port, go into the settings and disable automatic front audio port detection so the proper drivers are always loaded.

The problem is that the server can only handle 20 or so maps at any one time. So any map voting would have to be among those 20. The next week when the rotation is changed its a different 20. Otherwise, yea I liked the Unreal map voting also.
