Yoyorast Countdown has end : no betatest, no release unfortunalty... for now

[yoyorast]

StankBacon

Sorry? What?

[Sel]

HA! Like he'll actually give it to you... 'Course, you could just release it along with matooba's atv.

loll

[Inferno]

Yet another quality EX shitpost.

[Cortexian]

Sorry? What?
I thought Bacon made it? Or did he just texture it or something?

[.Wolf™]

He just tagged it.

Yet another trollin' post from Inferno.:downsrim:


Anyway, yoyo... yuki wants your 'hog. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind it being in other maps, either. Revelations, anyone?

[yoyorast]

I created/modeled it, D4NO textured it, Bacon Tagged it ;)

Well, hmm thanks but no.. I already explained myself about "exculsivity"... maybe later, when "I'll think about it" like you maybe ;)

transport hogs are about as useful as needlers

[Needles]

transport hogs are about as useful as needlers

Needlers are useful to me :ugh:

[yoyorast]

transport hogs are about as useful as needlers

Not in Yoyorast Island Race mode... if you make the lap with full hog, it's 5 points for your team... I call it useful.

[Inferno]

Alright. I'm feeling somewhat better today so I'm working on V2. I'm going to try a new door sync method on the panic hill and then were going to get everyone in a server and see if anyone can break it.

so you need me and pyong to mash the buttons abunch right?

[Inferno]

Yep.

[yoyorast]

K hopefully inferno is going to fix the sync problem !

On an other hand, I couldn't stop thinking of someone here saying the panic room wasn't useful enough.. other than when you teleported with flag through random tele on it... it's true it's not useful enough as it is.. so yesterday, I thought of adding some "panic" teleporters at some strategic places witch will help make the panic room more frequented and really deserves the panic room name... (if you panic, you take the teleporter to the panic room lol) ... these tele also can be usefull to go from teh dark side of the island to the beach side (note that these are no shortcuts lol).

[Inferno]

Wait uh.... Wallhax? :raise:

Don't worry I already fixed it.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Heh, nice one right there.

[tythespy]

TBH i think the s.lazer should be between the plum tree and the rock by the panic room, just like the panic sniper in the water in V1... :woop: I know your not moving any more weapons =-/

:ohdear:

[Inferno]

Alright I fixed the shortcut. Permanently and indefinitely. It's a giant ass kill trigger.

BUT HERES THE TWIST it ignores banshees but kills any other vehicle or player that enters it.

INGENIOUS!

[tythespy]

I'm guessing the no cheat sing and auto lazer is no more?

[Inferno]

Yeah. I managed to ramp over the barrier without using the invisible wall so I decided to make a more solid solution. Kill everyone.

[Cortexian]

What if someone gets out of the banshee near the walkable area under the hill that you jump to from the garage? Is the kill zone far enough away from that to prevent those people dying?

Lemme test this kill zone plz.

[Inferno]

It's a biggass killzone but you can only touch it by trying to jump to the rock slide shortcut or the vehicle jump shortcut. Your safe as long as you don't try to cheat.

[Dwood]

e: ninja'd

[chrisk123999]

Killing only certain people online can mess up when you have to many scripts doing that. Hopefully you don't.

[Inferno]

It's a plyrnum script except it checks to see if there is a banshee_1 in the volume before killing the player.

[EX12693]

It's simple, and it kills cheaters... I LIKE IT!:golfclap:

[yoyorast]

K, ferno did an amazin job on fixing the door syncing and various things, we tested togoether.. there's still some minor stuff to fix.. he'll be done by tomorow with this stuff.. then, tomorow will happen the BIG betatest guys, be ready.. hopefully, it's the last one this time..

I'm just adding the list of stuff here again, in case you forget it ferno :
- Get the Menu from Sinow
- Doors and shileds at 60 sec
- Try to fix the weapon glitch
- remove the test metal strucutre next to the killbox
- check the scripts one last time
- Maybe you can try to add dynamic light as you said to the new panic teleporters (only if you think its not going to trun the fps down)

And I'm asking to anyone who may know how to do : Do you guys know how to add some weight at the back of a vehicle (ATV here) cause it has a real tendance to flip to the front when jumping... It would just need a little more weight at back.. Any idea how it's makable?

Thanks

edit : Dam I just found another invisible wall... annoying one, not very annoying but enough... Now with the big one bacon found, there's 2 + one little other I noticed the other day (but not very annoying) Dam I was against rerunning any lightmap and I know fieryscythe is busy and didn't wanted to chase again these invisible walls and run another radiosity, but now... Fire, I was wondering if now that the week-end is approching, maybe you would have some time to do it... and I won't remodel, it's just redoming the invisible walls and running lightmaps... I know this represents some work but I know you're a perfectionist like I am and I mean, plz fire we need you... It's so painfull to release a half finished and unperfect map after all this work... tell me what you think if you're reading... if you're not, I'll AIM as soon as I catch ya. Thks

[.Wolf™]

Its not like all players are retarded and they can easily find their way around a pbsp by repositioning. Besides,this game aint fun without some nades bounching back at you and kills you:D

[EX12693]

We have to remind ourselves that videogames aren't real, and it would be realistic for the grenades to not bounce back at you... so keep the invis-walls to remond ourselves that this isn't real.:haw:

EDIT: OMFG I just realized that Yoyo is now agreeing with my "joke"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cortexian]

You need to be reminded that Halo isn't real? You're going to be one of those kids that takes a gun to school without a care because you'll just respawn in your bed at home.

:suicide:

[AAA]

:suicide:

Rejoin in... The next lifetime.

[EX12693]

:suicide:
Are you really not smart enough to realize that I wasn't serious? (I thought the dumbass "haw haw haw" gave that away) Or are you just being that big of an ass? :nsmug:

I'm the one with the headstone that says "Respawn in... 9" :haw:

[yoyorast]

Ok, I can't reach inferno for now... and anyway I'm so tired tonight... Also Fieryscythe is offline and didn't answered my last post .. so no beta today guys.. I really want fieryscythe to give me his final answer before going on with other solutions or compromise...

I'm quoting my last post here for fire to fiend it more easily + for inferno to work on the last points if not yet done :

[Inferno]

I was at taco bell...

I fixed everything and made you a present yohan.

[EX12693]

Isn't this like, the 4th day in a row you've said "Beta tomorrow..." ?
Just pointing that out. :v:
Srsly make a beta. Soon.

[Cortexian]

There's always a beta, there's been one almost every day for the past week. Just because it's not a big 16 person beta test doesn't mean people aren't playing the map, Inferno and I played a little bit today.

[EX12693]

Meh, 2 people can miss a lot of shit. Whatever.

[Cortexian]

You're obviously not comprehending how development cycles go, so I'll just stop trying to explain it to you.

[EX12693]

I understand perfectly. It's just that a 2 person test is less productive than a 16 person test. Simple.

[n00b1n8R]

A 2 person test is a lot simpler to organise and can do what it needs to when there's only relatively safe and small bugfixes being implemented.

Very good! A present? :woop:

[p0lar_bear]

I just tested with Lancer, Yoyo, and one other person, absolutely unplayable as a client connecting to the server. Halo's FPS chart showed 0 the whole time.

I loaded the map as a LAN server, and it ran fine, and I also played a few rounds of stock maps on another server, and it ran fine. Also, my framerate went up to about 10 or so when my connection dropped while in the server. This makes me think that the sync scripts are causing this.

The other guy that was testing was also having the same issue.

[Cortexian]

Locke, Wolf, and p0lar all had this FPS issue, while Yoyorast and I were unaffected for some reason. Other than that, everything works as intended, syncs are working, kill box for shortcut is working, doors/shields/random tele is working, and it all worked with Rec0's app as well. This leads me to believe that there's only a few commands in the devicator that cause problems with the map, I'll disable these commands and there won't be any problems using it.

[EX12693]

More fps issues? Did you "optimize" the map?

[Cortexian]

You can't "optimize" the map when it's on a dedicated server.

[.Wolf™]

Probably a script problem,no big deal,it also worked normally for me when i hosted my own server and on LAN,same worked for Polar i believe.

[p0lar_bear]

Locke, Wolf, and p0lar

PROTIP: I am Locke. I was aliasing last time I played CE and CBA to change the profile.

[Inferno]

Most people have no problem with yoyov2. It's probably a computer/operating system. Thing

[.Wolf™]

Read : It worked on our own servers,with no FPS lag, SO ITS NOT THE COMPUTERS,NOOOBO!


:RAAAAAAAAAAGE:

[Inferno]

Read : It worked on our own servers,with no FPS lag, SO ITS NOT THE COMPUTERS,NOOOBO!


:RAAAAAAAAAAGE:

It's running fine on my computer. In and out of dedicated servers.

So yes its a problem with specific computers/hardware/operating system.

[.Wolf™]

Well,it works normally in a a hosted server that i hosted myself.OK? Yeah and then i join a dedicated server,and bam it drops,so how could the operating system be a problem? When it works in a server you host yourself?
Makes no fucking sense.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I think I got the mongoose fixed.

[tythespy]

Yeah and then i join a dedicated server,and bam it drops,so how could the operating system be a problem? When it works in a server you host yourself?
Makes no fucking sense.

I think he means over all difference, probably a slight difference if any.

[p0lar_bear]

Well, how would an active connection to a server cause the map to bog down our computers?

And the fact that .Wolf doesn't have pc specs listed isn't helping; it's a fact my computer is crap, what about yours?

[tythespy]

I use to get some fps problems in earlier betas, but I don't get them any more in the new betas. - spec's uptodate

[yoyorast]

i got no problems except the complaining with vista causing CE to jump every so often
