Title: only mildy concerned now :)
Post by: Guest on March 07, 2005, 04:53:17 PM
Cobras posts today bother me.

   

   In a week when an {fosfx} member thinks hes put his finger on the sp2mp sound prob and the source code for stock maps is released by EA I am drowning in things I wanna do next

   

   I come here cos its the home for cutting edge mohaa and always leave either the forums or the game server feeling inspired to push myself harder.

   

   Cobras posts have deflated me a bit......

the servers atm are messy and buggy. Cheats and glicth cheats can roam free. We are busy too bust to revamp all the maps. We have been working on it and it got somewhere. Im wokring on a update that will eventualy become part of the server. Cobra usualy admins the serv to keep it nice and  clean but hes found  things too busy to monitor it 24/7.

   

   The results is that the serer will shut down. I will finish my mods. server work will finish and it will come back one perfect! With new non buggy new mods!

   

   A new flyable server side plane script was scripted that no one ever saw. You get kills and dont kill urself for a crash. Handling is much improoved also. new mine mods, new dogs, new maps, new rocket packs, new server mod.  This has been our goal to revamp it for  along while and try and admin the old "thing" at the same time. Time however has melted away so until we things done  and the new mod done the serv shall die:(.

   

   

   phil {sfx} is also busy with home life atm.

   

   1 day things shall return ,1 day. dont expect it like next week though. THe mod i have in mind and am wokring on will take me many months to complete and perfect. (note: this wll be on the serv {part of revamp}_.

   

   As for mods like dogs, dont expect them to get released just yet.

   

   Just bare by us, keep posting and chatting. keep us alive.

   

   i shall maybe take some days off work and get this mod worked on. Its already many thausands of lines . pages upon pages. many scripts/ once its done i will have to rescript the "mainframe" for the server. THis means starting the revamp main part all again. As This mod makes alot of it usless.

   

   I will be making my mod public, and i have so much conifdence in it that not just ours but all servers will shut down and revamp, if they dont have a serv. they will get one just to revamp it.;)

   

   Try to think of this like the run up to easter. a new beggining coming soon with a chocolate suprise!. like easter you got to wait for it and work hard to earn it.

   

   cobra is a wet flannel.lol soz cobra. I know how it feels though. As soon as things start going good again u will feel like the god u is.

   

   if i had to try and admin and keep cheats away and answer questions and script, look after kids, fly a plane. tlk to a wife. i wud feel like a flannel too. cobra will come rnd dont woz . he just dont know it yet. he has no real big project to script. no insperation "scripters block". I believe once i get this momnster done things will come rnd and phil will get bk and the  team will be back in action.

   

   

   ok enough from me. so dont deflate. I hope u feel pumped up a little now. if not here is some script to inspire u.

   

   

   
         local.viewvec = angles_toforward self.viewangles
         local.leftdot = vector_dot local.viewvec self.leftvector
         local.right = 0
         local.right -= local.leftdot
         local.newangle = local.right * 250 //400 //50
   
   // speed the plane along
   
         local.newangle += self.extraangle
   
         local.plane.angles = ( self.viewangles[0]  self.viewangles[1] local.newangle )
   
         if(self.extraangle == 0)
         {
            local.newangle = local.newangle  / 3
         }
   
         self.viewangles = (local.plane.angles[0] local.plane.angles[1] local.newangle )
   
         local.plane.velocity = local.plane.forwardvector * self.speed
   
         if(self.useheld==1 && self.canchange == 1)
         {
            self exec server_planes/damage.scr "CHANGE_WEAPON"
         }

Well im sorry they left you feeling that way - exactly which bit left you deflated? Elgans kinda got some of it right, im under some pressure from work (yes - going into work on 2 hrs sleep aint looking too good), i have some debt i have to clear up hence the server loss (and its a mess at the moment anyway), i have a wife and 3 kids, err you dont need to know any more than that.

   

   So at the moment when i open notepad i find myself staring at my monitor, i just cant concentrate, ive never had that happen before!

   

   Ill look over my posts and reword them if theyre giving peeps negative vibes

If you take M4L0 and clip that road (lol bitch of a job i know) but i have a tank that falls thru the friggin ground, if the jobs good ill add the mini drivables to it, it already has the flyable in with takeoffs, can even add bots that use original path nodes, nice big map to fly and drive around in. Dontknow what it is with some of the roads used in SP maps but i find they dont like vehicles - they just drop straight down - and eventually crashes the server hence M1L3B being taken out of rotation.

   

   No rush on clipping it, i have some stuff to do anyway, but if you do ill use your script and add the other stuff i have for it and test it on the server.

   

   The road seems worst in the middle and going over to the houses/huts that axis bots used to spawn at. ( Road going past ploughed field)

   

   You can help with other stuff too if you like with the SP stuff

cool

   

   I will make a start as soon as I can

   

   i aint used m4l0 yet just m4l3 but its been on the list

   

   I thought it was a bit too big (my server ffa) but I can see tdm - but bags not on team having to push up the hill - me outta condition :)

   

   

   I can see the sfx hounds in there as well - the sp game has mutts

   

   Skybox high enough I hope 4 planes

   

   Regards

The C47 here is the maps max height...

   

   

   

   

   When you see a plane coming over the ridge in the middle of the map it does look kinda awesome....

   

   The damage i was receiving was from some damn bots id put in they kept trying to shoot me down

   

   Yeh the SFX Smart hounds will go nice in that map and have full sound
