Sammy

New mod isnt online yet.

Redid how the loadout looks on the hud so organize things better. The left side is health, bandages and armor. The right is for nades and explosives. The middle is for streaks. In between the two of them are two icons for special weapons. One is for the nuke. The other is for the war machine or death machine. For turrets, in any of the other games has anyone ever had undeployed sams and sentries at the same time?

Mininuke isnt a cp award. I thought about what to do with the sentry but not sure. However if I do that it will go into the streak stack like the sam until you place it. That would actually solve a couple problems.

Since you can have stackable streaks I am considering changing how you get and deploy the SAM turret to how it works in MW3. No care package drop required but it will count as one of the three streak weapons until you place it. So if you get the streak you dont have to wait for the heli drop to use it nor take the chance of getting shot securing the package or having the package stolen. Better or worse?

So far large multikills from nades seems to work ok.

Bandages are useful if you are hurt and need to heal quickly. One tube or two?

Try this again....

Pretty sure showing the keybinds above the three would work without causing any problems. I have mind bound to 789. edit: Hmmm, image didnt work.

Yea those are map errors. The mapper forgot to include the files needed for the fx. Even if there arent any fx the files need to be added. You will see that from time to time. Might also see others about missing vision files. Same problem. One of the reasons the sentrynade is a higher streak is because of its range. However short range it isnt as good as a minigun. Defroster range was increased to %50 larger than the sentrygun a few days ago. The RC problem should be fixed. Thx to boom for helping me figure that one out. The error was that the functions to give streaks was forgetting that the player had hardline so streak requirements were off.

Curious tho. Because getting a higher streak erases the lower one you already have why did you get the package? You didnt want the car?

No mention of dolphin diving either.

Yea it shouldnt be doing that. But there is a possibility of something happening if you had a kill while in the predator by another method. A betty or something. I havent had time to check that out. edit: any other information you can give would be helpful. Such as if you had hardline.

Too funny. But where are the streaks?

The binds would be set in multiplayer options along with drop object and the rest so can be anything you want. This method does fit in with how loadouts are handled so its consistent. Also a lot like UT. However weapon cycling wont work since the engine handles that and only works with primary/secondary weapons. People will just have to get used to it and somehow new players will have to be told about how to set it up otherwise there would be a lot of 'my streak doesnt work' to deal with. Not sure how to do that. Might put the disclaimer in the killstreak menu along with the tac nuke one. Oh and sticking with keybinds would mean I dont have to do a menu and get that to work. Means a lot less work for me.

Currently keybinds are set in the multiplayer menu for all the rest so you can choose what you want. If its the menu idea then its just the 6 key as normal.

Forgot to add. Obviously some maps dont have helicopter support so airstrike height is more or less a 'best-guess' method based on various checks. But it is not guaranteed and when all else fails it requires a manually set height with the value kept in server configs. MW2 and after do it that way with an airstrike node built into the map for specific height information. edit: oh and you can watch friendly helis to look for dustup.

1.46 has bolts and they are less powerful than nade launchers. I figure its a trade off for having a scope. Speaking of 1.46, coming soon. Limited ability to save streaks. Ignore all the debug info. Its still buggy at times and needs a lot more testing but works well so far. You can save a maximum of three at any one time. They can be chosen in any order regardless of how you got them. If the array is full any streak awards after that will be skipped. Lower streaks will not be overwritten with higher ones. So it is best when full to use one of them to free up a slot. If you die and the streak restarts multiple numbers of the same item are possible assuming a slot is open. Two RC's if you get the streak twice. Using of two out of the three slots. The tac nuke is an exception and has its own dedicated 4th slot that only it can use. Currently it works with three keybinds. After chatting with boomboom he suggested that because many players like to activate them quickly this is the fastest method and can be used like switching between your rifle and rpg. The other option is a small menu in the middle like quick commands but in the lower center of the screen with icons. Press 6, as usual, and it brings up the menu. Click the icon with the streak you want and it will bring up the appropriate weapon. Marker, pad, or cellphone. It is more intuitive but takes a bit longer to do. I am open to suggestions on which people would prefer or other considerations to think about. Before anyone asks, three is the limit.

Matchmaking totally annoys me. There should be nothing inherently wrong with allowing communities to form and make their own places.

The way its written it should be highly unlikely since airstrikes take their height from heli nodes. So if helicopters are ok airstrikes are ok. But some extra height is given so aircraft dont fly through helis. Its possible on some maps that the heli nodes are already very close to the top and the extra height might be too high. You can tell if helis are blowing up dust in the air as tho they are near the ground.

If something hits the map ceiling tell me which one so I can test it. With all the custom maps and the different ways they are made sometimes some manual settings have to be added.

I guess its one of those Goldilocks things.

Defroster health seems to be pretty good against bullet damage at 1000. The explosive damage modifier might have been too large so I cut that down and it will take effect in a bit.

Great commercial. But no we would never see it in America. The internet is a wonderful thing.

Sounds like first reviews suggest that if you like a good actual cod game then this one isnt for you. Better than Ghost but that isnt saying much. It might be fun for what it is but keep your expectations low. It certainly sounds like its not worth the 60 bucks.

They have said things like that before but end up saying sorry they couldnt make it work.
