I have read that lag is a common issue so far even on high end rigs.

Absolutely hilarious. Made my eyes water.

RIP

The ACR was originally balanced as an M16 replacement. Highly accurate with low recoil, but only a 3-burst weapon. That includes its' animations which control the visual recoil. By popular demand it was changed back in the other server to full auto. Even tho I advised it would unbalance the weapon. For the jammer I would ask everyone try it on the test server to see how it works in relation to the current one. For the trigger to work the RC must be at least 256 units away from all jammers. That should be far enough to make it fair but it is impossible to know without actual gameplay. If nobody does then I have no idea. The one-time spawn protection perk would unbalance the ftag game as it works now since spawn trapped teams can choose it, run to a hiding spot, activate, then keep running again. It would be used to draw enemies away from spawn to keep him from defrosting others. Similar to how the best spawnpoint method changed it. If I remember correctly I was told it was tried long ago and most people didnt like it.

I was joking about the rc nuke, even tho I like the idea. Just to see if anyone was paying attention. Can you describe more what the car jammer is not doing properly? Under normal circumstances the jammer goes far enough that a player would likely get some damage from the car, if any. But it also depends on the player health setting of the server. So its a balance requiring some trial and error. Make the jammer have a bigger radius? Or decrease the power of the explosive? No real right answer to that one. Just what works best for the game. edit: speaking of nukes, there are two types of care packages. The normal one at 4 kills has the current stuff except the highest value items like the ac130 and no tactical nuke. The second type, at 7 kills, has only lethal weapons ranging from the rc to the 130/pavelow and the nuke. Nothing passive like the uav.

Yes its doable. Had that kind of idea in the back of my mind and will be working on it in the future. But it wont be ready for the mod currently testing. There is a new option where EMP nades will drop a flare of sorts when they explode. They will defrost at 1/2 the rate that a player does. More than one nade can be used and they will both unfreeze together. The server is called 'XI 1.45 mixed' if anyone wants to try the mod. Multiple gametypes. edit: 50.97.113.104:28960 Rotation is stock maps. ftag, team defender, infection, domination and team deathmatch.

Ok we have one vote for an RC with a nuclear weapon. Any objections? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

The test server for the next version of the mod is open but not as a general release. Looking for feedback for things that could be tweaked or modified in this one compared to the last. Like the other crossbow thread. Does the majority want it to have three rounds? Stick with two? Things like that.

Just wanted to bring up a final thread asking for feedback on any tweaks that need to be done in reference to the current mod. Majority rules. Unless its something really out of whack like a 25 round crossbow or a nuclear equipped rc-xd.

Well... I had a prototype warmachine as a compliment to the deathmachine but I didnt get the model finished and someone would have to do some of the animations. Something I havent tackled yet. Would have been available in the attack package and have 25 rounds or so. There were other priorities.

:thumbup:

:lol:

It will stay as explosive bolts. Only way to get three of them is with the ammo care package, assuming you already havent fired any. The 2X matches rpgs, nade launchers and the rest. But since this will be a clan version for the new mod that wont be in the general release if all the admins want it to be three anyways I will do it.

I am not a headset guru but I have always liked Sennheiser products.

As a general rule I never install anything Microsoft unless I absolutely have to. Not that they make bad products. But more often than not the specialists are better than the do-it-all companies. I have used Avast for years and it always works well. But as was said there is no substitute to being careful. Like condoms.

If your gpu heats up really high also be sure to check its heatsink to see if it has a thick layer of dust on one end blocking airflow from the fan. Especially if you live in an area prone to alot of it.

Was looking if I could pre-load but it seems I have to wait for it since I didnt pre-order. Ah well. All you early adopters please let the rest of us know how it goes.

I'm making various final changes to the new mod and looking at the crossbow. 2X explosive bolts as it currently is? Or a larger number of non-explosive rounds that acted like a sniper rifle? I will do whichever the popular vote is.

Didnt preorder so will have to wait for the open beta. I will probably be only to manage a bit above minimum specs but should be good enough to get a feel for how it will play.

I have experienced that also last couple days. When it slows down, if you look at the location, it usually jumps from the redirect to a direct download. Happens for mods also. edit: since it doesnt happen to everybody I do wonder if something is wrong on the game install here.

That sounds awfully close to a bribe.

Even after doing that never ever click on a link anyways. Log in to whatever it points to in the usual way in the browser.

Now thats funny. Didnt expect the ending.

Yup I got that. Immediately suspicious because I dont have a facebook account, nor will I. Carefully checked it out. Didnt find any links to China or Russia unless I missed them. Not that I would dare to click on one.
