Its not supposed to protect the car. afaik it didnt in the older mod either, unless I missed something. The perk is supposed to protect the player.

Why not use the scarh or steyr? Both are pretty powerful weapons.

You know the neverending story? Well there are also the neverending bugs. Or sometimes not really bugs but expecting more than what the game can handle. This morning I wake up to the errors that it was pushing the number of hud graphics at any one time. So time to look for making some savings or deleting unneeded stuff at the appropriate time. Those red target markers and other things can really add up. Yes Hardwired will prevent the RC player from pushing the explode button. But he can still drive away or follow you around until the timer runs out. There are a couple different settings for this and I dont know which one Rugger chose.

"Better" is a point of view and there is no way to please everybody.

Check your classes. Tested it without any friendly fire settings and it works ok here. Unless when this happened you were in an RC or something?

Well technically speaking the mod is not faster for the normal settings. But one of the options in it allows for greater speeds if the server so chooses. For testing I sometimes set it to double sprint speed because I hate having to wait to run from spawn to go shoot at enemies. Bwahahaha.

Do you know which map?

Running faster? The only thing that should do that is the juiced death streak for about 20 seconds. Otherwise it should be normal and based on your current class, as usual. edit: Just a heads up that there might be a bug with the sentrygun if you place it after using a streak like the reaper. What is happening is that instead of it being placed at your feet its being placed at the spot where you activated the streak. It is actually at the location of an invisible player clone that stays there while you fly around, which was added because of what happens when activating the RC in an elevator and things like that. So will be working on that today. The reason for the new bug is due to a 'fix' related to people trying to place the sentrygun while in the ac130. Still, the sentrygun shouldnt have done that.

Programmers notepad is also a good one.

Got my HDD yesterday. Dunno what all the fuss is about the black drives being noisy. But I do tend to have alot of ambient stuff especially this time of year when its cold and my space heater is going. Now going to take forever to transfer probably 500gb of data over to it, and try to organize things as I go. Doing that so hopefully I will be able to remove those partitions from the main drive and resize it so all of it can be used for C. Primary is full with all the programs and such. Especially games.

The newer one is better.

I checked out the map and I am not sure what extra stuff is built into it. But in any case it is not compatible with the mod.

bones? or weapons? If its the 128 weapons error then that typically means the map has some custom weapons built into it that are not normally in the game. No way around that from the mod standpoint except removing some custom stuff like the three needed for the ac130 or the one needed for the reaper. The bones one... been discussed to death.

Treyarch. WAW, BO, BO2. The typical weapon skin for a cod weapon is 1024x1024. Some are other power-of-two variations. In the attached file are three versions. cod4, bo, and mw2. Each is significantly different and they all have different model coordinates for the meshes. So its not possible to simply switch them out or just move parts of the texture around. But if you bring into Photoshop or whatever, fool around with colors or other things, then it can be exported again to work with the specific model the parts are arranged for. mp5_col.zip

Ok long winded... but I do that. No it shouldnt. It should be what is best for the game no more no less. This kind of game that is. COD... all of them... are arcade games. There have been realism games, as far as it goes in any video game. But their player base is relatively small because most people dont want that. As an example: The modding community has over the years had discussions about the very existence of perks. Realism advocates say they are silly and dont 'belong' in military fps games. However whether or not something belongs is a point of view and the vast majority of players like them. So in the end it depends on who a game or a mod is aimed at. In this case OW2 is not geared towards realism. It is an arcade game. And yes there can be however many reasons for whatever attachment. But an LMG with a suppressor does not belong and its purpose is to be powerful and also to be loud. That is the balance. One thing that would have been cool to add, but there just wasnt room, was a 'bipod' perk for the LMG. So a player that is prone turns it into a standard turret weapon. Some mods have done that and its cool. But the game only has turret weapons for the SAW and in OW2 the minigun. So it would also need them for the M60 and the RPD as well. Choices have to be made.

If you want the mod tools they are freely available. Obviously Maya is not. But I am pretty sure Blender these days can make weapons for cod4. I might be wrong. I know it can make standard stuff like chairs but its the rigging that is important. No viewhand animations are possible. That requires Maya. Check this site out. http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Main_Page However assuming the model itself is fine and you want to mess around with the model skins their iwi's are just .dds files. Use the standard iwi to dds converter, open in photoshop or gimp, make your changes then export as a targa. Best to convert back to an iwi with the mod tools. Put that into a mod iwd as all custom stuff must be and you are good to go. The engine can only get away with so much and certainly environmental mapping plays at least as much of a role. COD4 has a 'cartoonish' feel no matter how good the textures are. The Trey games have always been better in this regard.

Game balance. Besides, if realism was the goal then for example no 6 foot leaps or bunny hopping. Jump any higher than 4 feet and you might break and ankle. No health regen. If shot in the leg you can no longer move. And on and on. The goal is to make something that is fun for everybody... including the victims... not just a single player.

Because something exists in RL doesnt mean its good for the game. In this case an LMG class with one would be too powerful in terms of balance. At a minimum, range would have to be severely reduced and possibly damage. So in effect what you get is a belt fed assault rifle with a silencer. An interesting idea but would require aspects that make it no more or less likely to make a kill than a scarh, assuming a player with equal skill for both weapons.

Seen a bunch of vids like this of some guys pulling the legs of annoying kids. Most are so-so but a few are classic.

One of the things that has been discussed is integrating advanced vcard chips directly onto the cpu. Which could certainly be much more efficient but also decrease sales for nvidia etc. Game companies might like the idea since it would tighten up how many different cards are out there and also how fast improvements are made. Much better for development costs. Like consoles.

If you've got it. I could never afford those right now.

You have zero idea how tired I am of looking at scripts. Writing virtual code in my head is one of the best ways to help me get to sleep at nights. How bad is that? For OW2 the last scripting thing I am working on is clan membership and redirects. Asked Rugger what he wants and its all going to be time based. Also promised to move the hbar to the m60 to get the saw back. Yes I will get that done. If this works, and no more problems, I am taking a nice long Christmas break. But if something is not working out or not sure how to get something to work PM me and I will see what I can do.

Tough mod. I last about 20 seconds before the dogs kill me.

Looks like all the cables are tucked behind a partition on the back side.

Looked at Raptors but yea they are more than I can afford right now. The black drive should work with my mb since it seems others have used it. Going to need a bios update since I would like to get a quad core for it also anyways.
