Sammy

Both are works in progress but these are NOT being added to the old mod.

For now if you die the SAM turret will not be dropped. You will still have it on respawn. It is set this way to get around a bug that gave you another SAM after you respawned even tho it was dropped. In the future that will be fixed so you drop it. Unless everyone likes it this way. That is up to the admins and I will set it whichever way they want. SAMs and miniguns/nades can be different. Keep the SAM but drop the sentries. If this is not happening let me know. I popped in and the center reticle is no longer there so I assume the server was restarted overnight to reflect the change.

There are two 'drop' keys. Be sure you use the right one. The correct one is 'drop object'. The two are there because one is supposed to handle things like the sentry or the briefcase bomb. The other is for rifles.

I reset the server config for it. Should be gone on the next server restart.

Old argument about the ACR and not worth delving into it again. It was noobish in that there was zero skill required to use it. Also pretty stupid to have a weapon where you can empty an entire mag in a few seconds and suffer no accuracy or recoil issues whatsoever. At least with a tube you have to figure out trajectories and things like that. You also only get two nades. IMHO cod is too easy anyways but the mod doesnt do the 'tactical realism' thing.

"I will survive..." Could be a cod theme song.

Cut scenes often look good. Unless I missed it no actual gameplay. Singleplayer or otherwise.

Havent seen snf in years.

Yes its dev info. I missed it. For the bubble to work there are five versions. Each smaller than the last. Yes I could do more but its also a matter of how big the xmodel gets. I will be testing in the future for a version of 8 or 10 and see if I can get away with it. Unfortunately the game engine doesnt allow me to simply scale a model up or down. I dont know if the server got restarted yet but the next time it does the SAM should change so you do not drop it on death but keep it. Its not consistent with the others but should get around the drop on death issues until I get a fix online.

If something wont download, or is very slow, open up your console and type /disconnect.

Every year about this time various fan-made 'previews' pop up. Most recent rumor shot down? An alt-reality World War One game. The industry is really reaching if that kind of thing was even considered.

Ok I see the SAM swivel issues. Will get fixes online soon as I can. edit: Looks like nobody on the test server chose one for a streak. edit again: Grrrrr. Looks like I made a minor booboo with the sentry model rig when I added the defroster gun. In the meantime it still works as its supposed to. Yes there is a 'drop on death' problem. Right now the problem is a good thing. It should show how multiple launchers can defend against air attacks.

Ok, so that I understand correctly if you die the SAM always drops. But the other sentries do not? I am in the process of doing an update anyways to add a couple minor things and get rid of some debugging messages I missed.

Porn has lost its appeal (so to speak) compared to years ago because its so easy to get now. Even the highly extreme, but legal, stuff is there.

Yup all UT2K4.

Tried several different kinds of gametypes on the other server. Some stock some custom. Didnt get much traffic.

That should be fixed. At least, I dont see it happening anymore. I suspect if it did the test server would have shown it.

An option was added for server admins to choose whether or not drop sentries on death should be disabled. By default it is to drop it. I think. There is an unbelievable amount of code so I forget things. I will have to be rude here even tho I dont like to be. The old ACR was the most noobish assault rifle I have ever seen. Only an aimbot is worse. There is no way I will ever put that back. At first I tried just balancing it correctly. Either as fullauto or a direct M16 replacement. But that didnt work with people still complaining. I wish I could leave it in, balanced correctly, because it is an excellent model Sanya did for the mod. But I was left with only one option and that was it. Oh and dont like the mod at all? Boo-hoo. Cry me a river.

Devo? Thats a name I havent heard in awhile.

Posted above already.

That's funny. But it is possible these women had to sign a legal form allowing the footage to be used. Otherwise their faces would have to be blurred out.

One reason I put it there, during testing on the other server, was so people could get a sense of the kind of sway and recoil weapons had when ADS with reflex and acog,

For the sniper rifles, get the no-sway attachment at the cost of less damage. In HC that really doesnt matter but no-sway rifles are way too easy and need a cost/benefit balance. Problem solved. No you cannot shoot through the ice. The benefit is that you can defrost by hitting it. You no longer need to hit just the player. Catch-22. There were many more complaints about not being able to defrost at a distance. So that took priority. Since the ice shrinks instead of dropping it doesnt take long for it to get small enough that there is no need to shoot through it. Knowing that there is a little bit of protection means you might get more people doing proximity defrosts and you can shoot them as soon as the frozen player vanishes. Besides, how logical is it that ice freezes players but somehow cant even stop a pea shooter? edit: The crosshairs were put there for debugging purposes and by default are supposed to be off. Even so some like it, others dont. It can be shut off. Talk to the server admins.

Yup a big balloon. They dont have many lights. Are typically round. Have few lights. And move very slowly. Or you can assume its a quiet UFO that likes you or those fields.
