Arg... Finally had a bit of time to play the game, the older mod version, and boom get kicked after downloading the map. Well so many wanted the redirect with taking score into account as well as clan members... and this is the thanks I get? Nah I keed. I dont get much time to play and would prefer to play the newer one to make sure it works among other things. So hopefully it will pick up one of these days.

Ok I got reports of two errors this morning from Rugger. First the S&G perk wasnt double speed for defrosting. Probably just a small bug and I will fix that. Now the other. It is related to a helicopter not knowing where to go when it is finished. Under such circumstances they usually just stay where they are. Did anybody see this? It would really help if I knew which heli it was and what its function was. Regular heli, overwatch, care package, minigunner.

So long as you dont glitch, camping is part of the game. Unless he is hiding in a dark corner of a room waiting for people to enter.

Which map was that? It is incompatible with the mod. Likely it has a heli pickup someplace and those generally dont work on alot of big mods.

When frustrated, this is always good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsKO_r76kfQ

Saying "vote" is not a political statement. It is a command to do something or I will kick your ass.

I never liked polling stations. So I have been absentee voting for years. Even so... my advice to all is: VOTE!!!!!

Its not always empty, which I am glad to see and thank you all. Really helps me out. Not consistently as full as NY obviously.

Wait 12 with the ammo crate? That is not right. Should be 3. Yes. Explosive bolts are limited to 2 just like china lake, rpg, betties and the like. One thing about weapons is that you cant please all the people all of the time. The original crossbow so many liked was too much like a sniper rifle. It also had 2-3 times the damage as a sniper round even at a distance. Not very good. 'Whiners' is harsh. It was helpful feedback for a beta-state weapon. In the end it was changed because I felt it was hugely overpowered for the purpose it was to serve. For the checksum error, anybody know if the map has a heli pickup or anything similar? I dont think I have ever seen one. Might want to delete and download the map again.

Cool, people use it. It can be pretty devastating especially on large maps with big open areas. So I figured 8 kills was a fair requirement for it. Probably the perfect weapon for Sharqui. Any opinions on it let me know.

Eavesdrop/hardwired costs you a tier 3 perk. So its not nothing. Besides, based on this argument then players shouldnt be protected from the heli or sentrygun seeing them either.

In this mod Hardwired protects you against emp + cuav. It is also the jammer, if its enabled. I dont think it should protect you while in the car. Technically, while in the car you dont have any perks since they have all been taken away except for dead silence so you dont hear footsteps while driving around. When you repsawn they are all given back.

Well the jammer is in the mod. Just turned off for the server. But if enabled all it would do is prevent you from pressing the fire button. So you could still drive around.

In the Chi server anyone notice any helicopter getting stuck? Going through some errors in the log Rugger gave me and one of them has to do with a heli maybe not knowing where to go. It might have been the Terminal map.

Bunny hopping only sucks when there are those that cant stop doing it instead of an occasional thing. But no I wouldnt remove it either. The problem is that it is too high. Like you are Mario instead of Soap. However I would add it so that if you do it twice quickly then the second time either your weapons are disabled until you land, or the second time is only twice as high. A good balance where nobody is totally happy. But compromises are always good.

Yes delete your player profile for the mod. Bug. For a regular install the profile is in the players/profile/yourname/mods/modname/mpdata

George Lucas is selling it all to Disney for 4 billion bucks. Obviously comments range to good news since there will be new star wars movies. Or ranging to the other side with Lucas selling to the Galactic Empire of Hollywood. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-star-wars-films-buy-210830937.html

True. It can sometimes be a fools errand to balance maps and mods for unbalanced people. I keeeed.

Yup maps and mods. Many maps are better than what came in mw2 and later. Maybe not as much eye candy but much better balanced.

The car can defrost if the server turns it on, so it might be disabled. For the streaks, lets say you are a new player. The three default streaks are uav/airstrike/heli. If you dont want one of the defaults click on its name. Then all available options will be valid... except those taken up by the other two that have the same streak requirements. One of the three icons will change the usual grey box with a slash through it. Like a perk that has not yet been set. Choose one of the options to set the streak. More or less the same as Black Ops. Because it was a little confusing some green check marks were added as a visual indicator for a selected choice. One of my earlier posts has screenshots. The screen shots also show an option with a padlock. That one has been disabled entirely and is not available as an option. This would be used if a server doesnt want a certain streak at all, or if the server wants to limit a streak to certain classes. If the 'killstreaks' button is red then you dont have all three choices set.

Weapon accuracy is fine.

I added these. I think menu asset limits will be ok but cant guarantee. Good enough? The 'padlock' one means that streak has been disabled entirely and is not an option.

Ok I suspected that. The menu wont work on standard monitors. I added alot of stuff and didnt think about standard ratio monitors when I did it. So had to think up a different way to get it all in while still making it work with 4:3. So the newer mod uses the standard menus with some additions.

Do you have a widescreen monitor? Or 4:3 size? What is the native resolution of it?
